You think that's bad? On my last time playing with AT I forgot where the accelerator was and crashed two people behind me.

Not saying you're an inexperienced driver because you generally tear it up at least as far as lap times go, but I'd rather have an unpredictable driver in front of me, I think. I can react to what they're doing more easily that way. Or tailgate them and pressure them into a mistake, that's always fun. Plus they can't punt me if they're not behind me! I've been punted more than my fair share

"2008 BMW Motorsport Z4 M Coupe"

Car of the day on FM.net, they're going to show off one of the new cars every day until release.

Hey! I was wanting to race with you guys today! how do I get to the Room? my gamertag is the same as my username here! I know this is probably the wrong thread but i couldnt find the other one

 

[Queasy]

This is for Forza 3 which isn't out yet. We're not running Forza 2 on Wednesday nights anymore because we are all waiting for Forza 3.

 

[BlackEmrald]

Oh I see.. well I deff want to be on board with Forza 3.

 

[Kabob]

I got on late last night to play FM2 and no-one was on (granted, I was 30 mins late). So I tried the Brutal Legend demo (loved it), did a few hotlaps on FM3's demo, and finished Fable II.

The Turn 10 Twitter says that review copies are already in people's hands and they are "starting to make some cool stuff...with the livery editor and layer groups."

Schweet. Can we see?

 

[Kabob]

Been in people's hands for a few days now, the lid comes off on October 4th (I believe it's the 4th...) apparently when reviews can be relesed.

 

[Lotheron]

I'm really itching to get this game. Been LOVING the demo.

BTW, for those of you on my friends list, I ran about 20 hot laps with each car. MY CHALLENGE TO PASS THE TIME: It's time for you to beat my times. HINT: Press Y for leader-boards on each car and X for friends list.

I'm coming up with Oct 8th for the NDA expiration on teh Goog.

 

[gar655]

So how is everybody getting the really fast times with only 2 laps and having to start at or near the back with little to no room to pass in the first 2/3 of the track?

Time Trials. Instead of starting the race, press Y to get to the Time Trials screen.

Update from the future! 10/8 when today is 10/7!

Is the packed-in DLC a limited time offer or is it included with every new purchase of Forza 3?

Uggh. I've been thinking it is one day ahead for most of this month for some reason. I'll get back from the future eventually.

This is obviously a ploy (and a good one) to get people to buy the game new. I haven't seen anything stating either way as to whether this is a permanent thing or a limited time thing. Also haven't seen anything about whether or not these cars and the two tracks will be available for purchase for those who buy the game used.

I just picked some random songs off Pandora and some stuff other people said. Always down for a free car :thumbsup:

The two tracks are the Benchmark High Speed Ring and the Sidewinder Proving Grounds:

BADNED
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.

Benchmark sounds ALOT like the place from Ken Block's "Gymkhana Practice 1" video.

I'm thinking the Sidewinder tracks are the snake tracks from FM2?

Apologies for dropping in the middle of this long-ass thread with probably a very noobish question, but I just saw this on Jalopnik and am a tit-bit worried:

2009 Corvette C6 ZR1 ~FM3 VIP Member Exclusive~

How the fuck do I get the ZR1? I should be getting this for my b-day, my GF will likely buy it at a B&M store.

EDIT I gather you get it if you buy the Limited Edition version of the game. I don't really care about all the other stuff you get with the LE pack, even the "Hand tuned" cars. I just want some of the hottest cars they've been advertising as part of the game:

2009 Aston Martin DBS
2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia
2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997)

How can I get these other than buying the Limited Edition $80 crap?

This is exactly why 2 hours ago I downgraded my pre-order from the LCE to the normal edition. Yeah, I really want those 5 cars and the VIP stuff, but to pay $22 (after tax) extra for that + a ton of stuff I don't want? No thanks.

If you live in the US then Gamestop is the only place to get the LCE. I'm hoping that after a lil' while they offer the VIP pack on Xbox live. The content is already on the disc, you need a code to unlock it though.

Ugh. I was hoping there was going to be some kind soul who would tell me I can just download the 5 cars that they have been ADVERTISING for MONTHS as PART OF THE GAME. Not part of some overblow $80 shit. That's really irritating. Especially the ZR1.

They better offer the VIP Pack of Xbox Live. I'm going to see if Turn10 has a customer service e-mail.

Posted to their Twitter account. We'll see

In their defense, they've had those 5 cars listed as LCE VIP pack cars ever since they were unveiled.

Go ahead and ask but Che (their PR guy who most people dislike) said recently they're "exclusive to the LCE" although he didn't say forever or for any set amount of time. For now I assume that means forever but who knows.
