The Benchmark High Speed Ring is best described as an old airfield and hangar converted into a race track and automotive playground, perfect for all manner of creative “Forza Motorsport” hoonage and multiplayer mayhem. The track is characterized by 3.96 miles of rough surfaces and huge open areas, featuring a massive oval, an 8-lane drag strip, and an airplane hangar that players can drive (or drift) through.

Oh dose any 1 know if our old forza 2 tunes are compatable with forza 3, I know we can tranfer but if we build them up in the game will they work.

My guess is they wont due to the phsyics and all the extra upgrade options.

[XTI Jon Snow]

They build will be a problem, im pretty sure theres other stuff you can tune, XTI Apache was talking to a FM3 dev a while ago and he said you can use the tunes and they will work but may need some modification

[LMR DarthMario]

i sure as heck hope so Rogue! i got so many tunes i am not looking forward to writing down on a notepad to try to carry over. (i fear my B-class 394hp '04 STi wont work the same in Fm3 as it did in Fm2. it was a top 50 car @ speed tracks before all the missle cars were found)

[CQR Rogue]

LOL might create a open spredsheet so every 1 can use tunes for forza 3 as a benchmark, lol might take me wknd though lol.

Go for it.....I'm sure that will be most useful for various teams next year.

Has there been any word on carrying paints/vinyl groups over? From what I saw in the painting video a while back the set of templates looked very similar if not identical.
Also I really hope we're going to be able to add a block of text this time instead of having to add and then position each letter individually.

[LMR DarthMario]

i sure hope so! i wanna paint an '08 STi the same way i did the '04 STi (the Pepto-Bismol livery) without having to re-create the vinyl groups But i think they will keep the lettering as the way it is. i didnt have a problem with it once i found i can just 'stamp' the first letter, and each letter afterwards, just change it to the letter needed and move it left or right (instead of having to try and match them all)

[its troff]

Yeah I found that was the quickest way...but its still excessive faffing about for something that should be so simple.

[Crisis Nine]

For those of you who are paying silly money for the LCE version i just cancelled my order and got it from Blockbuster instead. Only 40 quid there for the LCE.

[its troff]

Tempted myself at that price. Don't like the look of this at the moment though:

How long will it take for my order to arrive?
Most orders under £100 will be sent via first class Royal Mail.

I wonder who will do the first flip over another car in next season's GTC, via FM3. I am going to say Shane in my view.

[XTI Jon Snow]

only 2 weeks till fm3 in the uk and 17days until the americans get it:D

[CQR Aero]

Hmmmmm.

I'm a bit disappointed to hear that there isn't in fact, a video editor facility in the game, and the replay video export feature is in fact only capable of exporting 30 second clips. Check out the video review for the game, plus a few other new videos covering stuff from "brutal crashes" to "cat and mouse mode" at www.gametrailers.com

[Matt]

I was led to believe that the export feature would be that short buuuuut saying that will we not be able to export full vids via the USB stick?
If thats an option then we're sorted

[Slider S15]

OH i hope that works like that!!

Just read the full list and was upset not to find the Ford Sierra RS500 on there

We could have had an epic pre 90's BTCC if they had it...

DLC it QUICKLY mr Turn 10

Yeah, we could have done a Group A series that way! We do however have the 1991 Mustang Cobra which looks like the original Sierra with the more hatchback style rear end they used in the ETCC and BTCC in the mid-eighties. A Group A DLC would make Forza 3 the BEST GAME EVER for me...

Burmingham Superprix Circuit (we can all dream)
Bathurst
Calder Park (Road + Thunderdome combined circuit)
Brno (pre-1987 mega long street circuit)

BMW 6 Series E24 (as well as the M3 E30 thats already in the game)
Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
Volvo 240 Turbo
Nissan Skyline GTR (the one before the R43)
Holden Commodore VL

We can all dream...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

.....whats that blue stuff at the top of the screen at silverstone!!!!!??????

[LMR DarthMario]

did the forecast at Silverstone improve from FM2 to Fm3?

[Crisis Nine]

Postal strike almost certain to be for three days starting on the 22nd. Confirmed on BBC news. I suggest everyone makes contingency plans now to avoid disappointment. I've already cancelled my pre-order with Blockbuster online and im gona pre-order in store tomorrow for collection. Same price for the LCE in store as online.

[Matt]

As I'm on holiday anyway I can't be bothered to change my preorder but just shows what a stupid, self obsessed, pointless waste of space Royal Fail are.
If you don't do your jobs, considering the current lack of them you deserve to be shot and replaced wth people who currently DON'T have jobs and are more than willing to do anything. Selfish so and so's.
Go frak yourself Royal Fail!
