What a fantastic experience last night driving the Jaguar D-Type around Le Mans, huge pleasure. Then I went to Sebring and had lots of fun driving the classics American Muscle Ford Thunderbird, Ford Falcon GT XB, Chevrolet El Camino SS 454, Chevrolet Impala SS 409, Mercury Cougar Eliminator, Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds 442, Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SD-455, just to name a few. And for finishing the night in apotheosis, went to Road America and enjoyed the unusual Bertone Mantide, Aston Martin ONE-77, Devon GTX, Joss JT1, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Noble M600, Spada Vetture Sport Codatronca TS, Wiesmann GT MF5.... and I'm still drolling.  |

I never thought I would say this: Sorry GT5, I will plug my PS3 and play GT5 only for the community's races on Thursdays. Forza4 has: Stunning sounds, physics, handling, image quality, replays, great AI, great cars, do not have SPA but has Road America/Road Atlanta/Sebring/Infineon/Silverstone/Hockenheim/Barcelona, do not have 3001 Skylines but has a brilliant car selection which allow us to chose any of them for quick races. The carrer MOD is very nice giving us always three options to each race. The Challenge board is superb. Hundreds of challenges well made. I have spent all weekend playing it (mostly quick races and challenges) and I didn't want to stop. Visualy effects are stunning. The sounds are soooo perfect and give us an immersion that never had with another game (even PC game). The options to race online are many with many variations. I raced one that put on track two street car classes at the same time. And playing it with the Fanatec Porsche wheel it's marvelous. It's brilliant we can change settings while driving, such as FF, dampers effects, wheel rotation, etc... Thank you Turn 10 for making me being at work thinking on that damn game like a teenager, I'm 45 for god sake!  Anyway, it was an excellent positive surprise for me, therefore, I'm so sorry GT5.

I never thought I could have so much fun as I'm having.
Last few races were at Fuji with only street cars available and the mix was lovely. Acura NSX, Lexus LF, Dodge Viper, TVR Tamora, BMW M5, Aston Martin DB7, Porsche (RUF) 911 CTR, Audi LeMans 4, Chevrolet Camaro, Jaguar XKR, Mercedes SL 600, Nissan R390 Road Car and a few more. Since I'm driving it with the G25 the enjoying level raised a lot.

After testing the Mustang, Renault 8 and the Mini (finaly a driveable Mini), I really hope we can make a season with these two classes running at the same time on track. Nice physics. Waitingfor it.  |

how do you find the physics/realism Prib? As good/better than we are used to with the last crop of race sims for a pc..ie GTR2/Race etc. Are the races online with it in the same class/spirit as we are used too or full of spoiled kids wrecking peoples races? Are there proper racing leagues etc set up? Could see me finally sticking an xbox on my xmas list Never thought i'd see the day  but the Forza ALMS vid blew me away. About time someone released a race sim on the pc that matched the kind of graphics and realism ive seen in pc flight sims nowadays. Mark, the feeling is great. I do feel that the car have all the tires on the ground and the suspension work is what it should be. The steering and handling feedback is near perfection. We feel grip but we lose it if we drive over the limits (much better than GTR2 driving on ice feeling). In all, we have Sports, GT, LeMans, Super Cars and all kind of cars to enjoy and tweak setups to have fun. |

Well, I'm having lots of fun doing some online races (not in public servers tho) with GT5 and I have a Xbox 360 and a Fanatec Porsche wheel waiting for Forza 4 to come out. That is why I've been away from PC races lately.  Last night I was at Rome track doing two races with Ferrari 430 Scuderia '07, 458 Italia '09, 599 '06 and F430 '06 and it was a blast. These were the Ferraris allowed for both races. |
