Are there other ways to get free cars besides leveling up?

 

Not that I'm aware of.

 

Well then I guess I will soon have all my free cars and will have to resort to playing other parts of the game. Well or if it takes me till Monday night to get to level 50 then I will be switching to Battlefield 3 at that point and Forza will be put away for the next month.

 

Add to my garage? Yes please...

 

Really you spent the money on that. I find that they handle like shit.

 

I spent 3 tokens on it

And yeah it handles like total shit, even with weight reduction and better tires.

 

Tokens you mean you actually paid for TOKENS to get it. Dang. that it still sucks though.

 

I had to add those stupid MS Points so I could get the Season Pass and I had some left over. I'm not going to use those points towards any other games so I bought 11 tokens for 400 MS Points or something like that.

 

I thought the season pass comes with the limited edition copy of the game?

 

I didn't think so

 

Oh then I will need to get on that. I thought it did so I was waiting for my dell order to process. I am getting worried though cause it still says processing and they no longer have them listed on the site.

 

I'll look into that.
Gonna have to jump on tonight and see what all damage has been done.

 

anyone here setting any s-class lap times on the ring?

 

Do you cuss much?

You will.

 

anyone using steering wheels? or are most of you using controllers

 

Fuckin hell - you weren't kidding!

That's what I get for not playing for 5 days. I managed to get a few back though - that should hold up for 15 minutes or so....

 

You know the car handles like shit when the AI runs that car into the wall trying to stop it at the end of the Mulsanne straight in the game.

 

Im using a pad. I like wheels, but I don't want to buy one, I dont want to store one, and I like to be lazy on the couch when I play....plus the 360 controller was made by other-worldly designers.

 

I use a controller, but I think I may try to buy the csr. My PC/ps3 wheel hasn't aged too well and wasn't that great in the first place. Still 250 for a hobby that isn't a real automobile hurts a bit.

 

i ordered the speed wheel... gonna get here tomorrow

i just topped my first rival time in the club...woo

also, holy shit you guys are pretty good, mable, stapler, and civicdrvr

driving tips please guys

 

Lately I have taken to loading civicdrvr's ghost and cursing.

 

^ That.

I actually find it easier without aids. It lets you push them further.

 

yeah civic, mable, and stapler what is the secret cause your times are crazy

obviously I am doing something wrong

 

Interesting, If you have a full list of rivals and you can beat them all. It pays off more to sand bag and beat them one by one.

Okay, they line is actually kinda useful in this game. It helps me slow down allot, which is very important for going fast. If you don't have yourself set up to exit the turn correctly you will loose allot of time.

On that top gear small car star challenge thing. Manual clutch is key. You will loose a half a second on the first straight without it. Don't for get to blip the throttle on down shifts.

After you have leaned to pay attention to the line don't pay attention to it too much, but leave it on so you know where the AI cars will be in the trackdays challenges (they pretty much stick to it unless they are passing)

After all of that Curse at cividrvr

 

i think i just managed to beat one of your ghosts (was it you stapler?) on sunset track day Rivals, god damn that took alot effort, that f430 you were using had insane acceleration

 

Dunno, I usually don't run in a f430.

 

i also just turned off ABS for the first time ever... that was an interesting experience O_O

Too scared to turn off Stability and TCM though ...

 

also, geting "clean" lap times is near impossible when AI drives straight into you for fun =/

 

so is this worth getting the 360?

had gt5. loved the driving mechanics. everything else was meh.

 

You might be amazed how much time you can gain turning one of them off as long as you can manage the traction.


Some shots of my GTO. Have been able to just run through the S-Class races with this car.

 

Funny thing. Remember how Dell seemed to have LEs when everyone else was out or had oversold? I just got an e-mail asking if I wanted to cancel or take an alternate product. Guess I'll get a standard copy and get playing soon.

 

<<<----- Tshirt Ninja

 

That will piss me off. I guess I will just cancel cause I already have my regular copy.

 

Finally got pictures. Need to take some more but here are ones I have taken so far.















I love my 2002Turbo. I have it up to A600 and beat all cars in that class. I will have to put it in the shared garage for a while. It takes a while to get used to the handling but it is so quick.

Can you still use cars you share in regular races in the single player part?

 

you cannot use club cars for campaign... only for hotlaps or online competition.

 

I still can not upload my pics

 

Stapler, I was wondering how the hell you pulled away on the straights of the Top Gear track.

You are using a wheel right?

 

Once you share a car can you un-share it so you can use it for campaign again or is it gone forever?

 

you can still use the cars that you share in the car club.... even while they are shared.

if you couldnt.. o2cls wouldnt have any readily available cars to use

or at least any miatas..

 

With stability and traction control off, it is easier to use AWD cars obviously, but the trick with RWD cars is to ease down the throttle when exiting a turn. When you feel the car "exit" the turn and wheels are all straight then you can slam that baby down. It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you NEVER want to go back.
