Worst car you've experienced so far.

[TonyJZX]

I dont know about 'worst' car but I was disappointed with the Chaparral.

Obviously the other side has a strong relationship with Chaparral, hell, the 2J is an iconic game car but the Chaparral in Forza is kind of sucky.

I picked the Nissan R382 as my first choice for historic and the car is a dream so I assume all the others would be similar.

Unfortunataly all the others dont seem to be able to come close to the Nissan. I did all the historics in the Nissan.

Kind of needs the Toyota 7?

I picked the Toyota because it doesn't have the grotesque, stupidly high wing that the others have

I so, so wish those wings could be removed. The Can-Ams would look epic like that imo

I know we're not supposed to bump threads, but I feel this to be relevant information in this thread. I would like to add the BMW Isetta, from one of the recent DLC packs to this list. Now, if you're the kind of person who likes insane three-wheeled cars, this is the car for you. Try racing it however, and... the car will die in the most absurd ways imagineable.

Stock, it has a pi so low that apparently Forza can't tell you exactly what Pi it is, because the scale only goes down to E100. But be very careful when upgrading it... because you don't want to put much power in it. At all. Because if you do, weird and wonderful things will happen. Like this:

Definitely needs the Toyota 578A 7 for high-speed Watkins Glen hijinks. However, I must say that in my experience the McLaren M8 is a very pliable and well-behaved car which destroys the Prince on the straights with superior engine power.

I have a new worst car; the McLaren 570S. My god is it a turd in stock form. I'm gonna try building an S800 tune for it.

Yeah, it's pretty terrible as stock, but it becomes amazing once you start tuning it.

Sim racing* problems #1 sweet real world supercar falls to pieces when raced haha.

*let's not get bogged down in the semantics of where Forza is on that spectrum, please...

Having sampled this weeks FRC car, the Formula Ford is complete dog:censored: on a stock setup. Absolutely awful.

Agreed. Like the McLaren 570S it's awful in stock form but once you upgrade and tune it, it becomes a great car.

The brake balance is my biggest complaint about it right now. The thing is easy enough to drive if you're careful with throttle application and never shift below third. I imagine it's going to be an utter mess at wet circuits though.

The main problem, as ever, are the people incapable of driving it without smashing into you.

 

[ClydeYellow]

Absolute dog? I wouldn't say that. It's not half as grippy as it used to be in FM5 (and it shouldn't be, really!), but it's still a blast to drive, provided that you can adapt your driving style to it. Trail-braking and throttle discipline are the key to be fast in this thing. Shifting below third is only necessary on a few corners, and still requires a fair bit of confidence and bravado; first gear is absolutely useless, forget that you have it.

The thing is absolutely brilliant at separating the men from the boys in the League lobbies: the boys will usually go on a crazy rodeo trying to keep the car in check and will end up crashing into a wall within three corners - possibly taking half the field with them. Which is just typical behavior, sure, but it didn't emerge as much with the Mustang, which is just like a big, dumb Labrador: always happy to play and never really mean to you.

I was really disappointed with the Escort Mk1 we have in the game, but then it is from F&F, so it's not really a surprise. It's just so OP that the way it drives is cartoony and it would only need to be set up like that for a Gymkhana or stunt show.

Roll on the standard model.

Lotus E23 is absolutely ridiculous. No turning circle so if the back steps out it's impossible to catch. Too much power, too reliant on downforce for grip. Horrid car. The MP4/4 and 641 F1 are examples of how an F1 car should drive. Good low speed grip, very peaky engines that you need to keep in the high revs, quick steering. Very stable at all speeds, darty, very easy to place where you want them to. Easy to learn, hard to master. So satisfying when you kick the throttle of the Maccer a few times mid-corner so it's on-boost as you come out. Rear end just slightly steps out and slingshots you down the straight. With good tunes they both run equal to or outrun the E23, and that should tell you something.

Noticed people complaining about the sliding in the 60s F1 cars. You're aware they're supposed to be slippy, right? Bias ply tyres perform their best at relatively high slip angles. Should steer with the throttle, and only use the wheel to initiate a turn. very good at teaching you throttle control. The new Ferrari 158 even more so, because it's a 1.5 litre-era car meaning you can't cover up your mistakes with a bootfull of throttle on the straights like you can with the 'return to power' 3 litre cars.
