I have a tune for Laguna Seca, that's about it for track based tunes. But I didn't buy it, so I'm fairly proud of it. Other than that I have the obligatory 274mph tune for the Agera, and some drifts for some Hondas/Nissans. Also, I'd like to point out that I'm working on probably the best Forza video ever, except for some of DomesticMango's videos. It has Ferraris and the Nurburgring.
Sounds sweet, but you used an Italian car on a German track! I don't understand the Agera Tune, I can only get mine to like ~ high R2, but the tune is R1. I create my own tunes for drifting, but as you're not in the FH car club, you can't have them
Thats another thing i've never gotten into ... drifting. Explain plox. (i know what drifting, just not how to do it properly on Forza)
Pick your favourite car. Make it either RWD or AWD. Throw on all the extra parts you want, including all the handling parts, but NOT the race gearbox as this screws up the gearing and reduces acceleration and overall top speed. Make it look pretty and stuff if you want with some nice wheels, a body kit and a sweet paint design. Then go through the tuning menus and tweak it so that you're INCREASING oversteer and DECREASING understeer. Read through the information panels on the side of the screen to see what changing the set-up of each part will do. Oversteer is what makes the back of the car step out when power is applied to the wheels whilst turning. If you've got an AWD car, I'd suggest tuning it so at least 75% of the engine power goes to the wheels, making it behave more like a RWD car, but still allowing more control over the car as a whole as it's easier to save the car from spinning compared to a full RWD car. Be careful not to over-tune the settings, as this can lead to a very unstable car and it becoming un-drivable. There are some great guides on YouTube that will help you get that tune just right. RWD cars are slightly harder to control due to them being easier to spin as they don't have any power going to the front wheels. AWD drifting allows for some spectacular angles whilst drifting but you do have to sacrifice quite a bit of speed. Before you can drift, you need to be able to powerslide the car. To powerslide a car, simply approach the corner, brake as normal and try and flick the rear end out either using the E-brake or the Scandinavian flick technique. The Scandinavian flick is where you turn away from the corner before you get to it then turn sharply towards the corner once you have reached your desired turn in point and it's another good way to force the rear wheels to lose traction. A mix of both is a good place to start, as the E-brake will lock the rear wheels, causing them to loose traction and when you turn into the corner, the rear end of the car will step out and slide, causing oversteer. Then keep the power on and counter-steer the car, steering in the opposite direction to the corner, maintaining the angle of the slide. Also, modulate the amount of power you're giving, if you feel you're going to spin the car, counter-steer and reduce power, if you feel you haven't got enough angle, steer back towards the corner and apply more power. Keep changing the power and the steering and make small adjustments to keep the slide going. Drifting is achieved when you can link more than one corner together whilst maintaining a powerslide throughout the corners. It's a little harder to achieve than simply powersliding the car, but all you have to do is keep the slide going, and if the corner is in the opposite direction to the one you're currently on, turn in towards it with a sharp turn and give the car some power, causing the rear of the car to flick around and slide around the other way and then hold the slide through the next corner. It's best to drift with the gearbox in manual, allowing for greater control over the speed and power of the car, stopping the car from spinning out too much. A manual gearbox is better whilst drifting because it stops the game from changing down through the gears on its own when you don't want it too, as this can force the engine to bounce of the rev-limiter which makes the car slow down significantly. Most corners are 3rd or 4th gear corners, although some wider ones may require 5th and some of the tighter corners may need you to drop down into 2nd. Take the Alps track as an example. The first corner is a 3rd gear corner then the next two are 4th gear corners due to the angle and approach speed of the corner. The corner at the bottom of the hill on the full circuit is also a 4th gear corner, and sometimes, depending on the car 5th. Some tracks like Maple Valley short may require 2nd gear as the hairpin corner is quite tight and slow. I hope this not so little guide has helped you. If not, I'm sure there are many wonderful guides on Youtube. /textwall

I just put myself under 600th in the world for the nurburbring in X class. Not quite sure how the top 10 have under 6 minutes, the best I could do was 6:34 and that was dirty. Clean I pulled a 6;40.691
TS- the way i learned to kinda half-ass do it and have fun but still suck is to just download some "beginner drift tunes" and such crap and then just try them out and try to get used to it. This was much more fun for me than trying to retune my own garage.
Info about the upcoming Title Update. It's good to see they're addressing the issues with online games failing to load. I'm not so sure increasing level cap is such a good idea, but we'll see. Also super excited to see Porsche return to Forza, it's been a long time coming. **** you EA. Source Shanon, when you get Forza, join us in the ForgeHub car club (FHFH)
Anyone want to help a brother get all the Ferraris on disc 1? I'll gift all the cars back to you once i'm done ...
I'm also working on this one, luckily I own the 250 GTO and I think I have the P4 as well, and maybe a couple of others. Most of the more expensive cars should be available on the auction house for quite a bit less than normal. I've also got 20m in the bank to spend but I hope I don't have to spend too much, but if we collaborate, I'm sure it will be much easier.
I'm gonna make an inventory of the ones i need tonight. Only got 6m in the bank at the moment. The list to get the achievement is (for reference): (01) 1957 Ferrari 250 California (3 Million Credits) (02) 1957 250 TR (8 Million Credits) (03) 1964 250 GTO (10 Million Credits) (04) 1967 330 P4 (9 Million Credits) -- Level 30 Reward Choice (05) 1968 365 GTB/4 (270,000 Credits) -- Level 16 Reward Choice (06) 1969 Dino 264 GT (55,000 Credits) (07) 1984 GTO (320,000 Credits) -- Level 25 Reward Choice (08) 1987 F40 (380,000 Credits) (09) 1991 512 TR (75,000 Credits) (10) 1995 F50 (400,000 Credits) -- Level 31 Reward Choice (11) 1998 #12 Risi F333 (2.2 Million Credits) (12) 1999 360 modena (90,000 Credits) (13) 2002 Enzo (1.3 Million Credits) (14) 2004 F430 (150,000 Credits) -- Level 28 Reward Choice (15) 2006 599 GTB Fiorano (310,000 Credits) (16) 2009 California (220,000 Credits) (17) 2010 #83 F430 GT (1 Million Credits) (18) 2010 #89 F430 GT (1 Million Credits) (19) 2010 458 Italia (240,000 Credits) -- Level 34 Reward Choice (20) 2010 599xx (1.5 Million Credits) (21) 2011 FF (280,000 Credits) (22) 2011 599 GTO (370,000 Credits) -- Level 36 Reward Choice
Well, I know the full list is just over 41 million credits with every car bought new, but considering you can get some of the cars for around half their value compared to their brand new price, I'd say the actual value of the full list is just over 25 million. Thank god I already own the '64 250 GTO but other than my two unicorn Ferraris that's the only one I own... Looking through the auction house, some people are ****ing retards trying to sell their cars for way more than they're worth new... I'm gonna go through the auction house and see what I can get cheap. Quick list of what I've now got: Red = Owned Blue = Bidding Green = Someone else do it Pink = Someone Else Has (01) 1957 Ferrari 250 California (3 Million Credits) (02) 1957 250 TR (8 Million Credits) (03) 1964 250 GTO (10 Million Credits) (04) 1967 330 P4 (9 Million Credits) (05) 1968 365 GTB/4 (270,000 Credits) (06) 1969 Dino 264 GT (55,000 Credits) (07) 1984 GTO (320,000 Credits) (08) 1987 F40 (380,000 Credits) (09) 1991 512 TR (75,000 Credits) (10) 1995 F50 (400,000 Credits) (11) 1998 #12 Risi F333 (2.2 Million Credits) (12) 1999 360 modena (90,000 Credits) (13) 2002 Enzo (1.3 Million Credits) Some tool decided they wanted to pay over the original price for this one... (14) 2004 F430 (150,000 Credits) (15) 2006 599 GTB Fiorano (310,000 Credits) (16) 2009 California (220,000 Credits) (17) 2010 #83 F430 GT (1 Million Credits) (18) 2010 #89 F430 GT (1 Million Credits) (19) 2010 458 Italia (240,000 Credits) (20) 2010 599xx (1.5 Million Credits) (21) 2011 FF (280,000 Credits) (22) 2011 599 GTO (370,000 Credits) Will Update when I have more. Could someone try and get hold of some of the less expensive cars on the list please?
Sure, please do! ♥ It's not like I want to keep them, personally I hate most Ferraris. Basically going to need all the cars that are grey on the list.
