But yes. Very good addition. Should I believe that new Silverstone layout is in, it really ought to be now...

best part is, nearly anything can race here:
V8SC, NASCAR, classics, minis, trans am, Can Am, miatas, IndyCar, classic F1, GT, ISCC, spec cup, DTM, and just about anything else you can think of Very Happy

i've lost the link for where i can preorder this and the xbox, can someone (who knows where it is) post it for me, would be hugely appreciated

i can do it through EB Games, but i cannot get it together, but if i get the LE FM5 and the XB One as separate products it'll be...
$703 (that's including a 12 month warranty for $5)
Bloody EB Games is RIDICULOUS

something i will try without hesitation come novemeber

by **Ax4x Bandit** Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 6:28

DTM at Bathurst. :drool:

by theboomeranga Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 7:11

my thoughts exactly

by HCR generaltso Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 7:17

i wonder if this means the Nissan and Merc V8 supercars will be in it...

Jack Daniels or Norton Altima :drool:

by **Matt** Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 7:23

My god that pic is amazing. Very little to determine between a real and in game shot. They've nailed this lighting thing now. Hmm, the 12hrs could be interesting to consider...

Nissan is sh*t
Erebus motorsport is where it's at

My predictions for 'essential competitive track choices' is vindicated once more. I was right about Spa and I was right with Bathurst. Roll on the Monza ans Silverstone Arena announcements Wink

Norton Team finished 1 2 lately at Winton m8. Know they got 2 minor upgrades, but they're moving upwards. (Holden Fan LOL)

This really is our dream come true Razz

These lovely new tracks are fine and dandy but the most important question remains unanswered....................can we repair aero damage during a pitstop

by theboomeranga Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 12:44

i think the best bit about having bathurst is that my closest track on the game (and therefore home track) will be 900km away in the same country, not 6000 or so in Japan...
nothing agaisnt Tsukuba but bathurst is so much better

Really - wow!!

So much for upping reality then, we'll probably still be able to change an engine, suspension and 4 wheels within 5 seconds though Rolling Eyes

That's the power of the cloud Jono. Infinite cloud power

by CQR Jono Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 13:00

Shame 'The Cloud' can't change a front splitter or rear wing!!

by Guest Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 13:01

You think with all that cloud power, it could generate some weather too Hilarious

by CQR Jono Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 13:07

You're being silly now, we all know that's not possible Rolling Eyes

by LastNewtStandin Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 13:12

Remembering the Aero issue made me worried when Bathurst was announced.
Seeing as the endurance events will have the same issues i will stick with FM4
At least to the new year. Perhaps beyond depending on tora, gta & destiny

by XPR Roadrunner Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 13:25

despite some new stuff its really turning into Forza 4.5.

Regardless, Bathurst sealed the deal for me and I will be pre-ordering when I free up some money.

BRING IT

by Standaman94 Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 13:29

I thought Forza 4 was Forza 3.5? So does this make Forza 5, Forza 4?

by CQR Myles Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 13:32

Forza 4.5 would still be amazing, all they need is a decent car list with a massive grid and I'll be happy
