What i was going to say, do we look like a dumb rednecks trying to drift a circle track seriously, any drifter in his right mind is gonna jump on Fujimi Kaido, and atleast use a AE-86 or 370z.
Wanna talk about getting your gymkhanna on, how about meet me on TDU with your fastest car and ill lap the island in 1 drift.

You won’t get some of the benefits you get in the seasons, such as more vehicle sponsor discounts etc but you will work your way through the levels, incl both Driver Experience and Vehicle levels, of which there are only 5 (per vehicle – but you one get 5 Vehicle level Achievements overall)

I can see myself spending many hours with this game, prob more than I have done in Forza 2 (in excess of 500 hrs) and anyone that has said they have ‘finished’ the game and has only had it a relatively short period, is pulling your leg big time. It’s a game that to truly finish, will require a serious amount of time to do.

The AI in the game is heaps better than previous games, and it wants to win at every possibility when on the highest setting. Set it at that, and go through the game, and you will find yourself hitting restart a great deal, as they can be relentless in some races, and it’s up to your driving skills, not how big your car is.

WHen matched with the same cars in class events, then you really do have to “race” . . Give the game the time it deserves, and it will reward you with hours of fun. Try not using the rewind or cutting corners, and race in a gentleman’s manner, and you’ll enjoy the game. I think I’ve posted a few race replays on Forzamotorsports.net if you want to check them out, and you can race other ppl’s ghosts to from Forzamotorsport.net by downloading their ghosts and racing them.

That way you learn better drivers race lines, braking points etc.

i think you have a very good point about the online play, ive found that people will race you over and over again if they are winning but as soon as they get beat they leave the lobby, they wont race unless they can have their best car, so when youve just started the game its near impossible to win a race with a stock level car.

just cant give it the time that forza 2 took, want to i just cant face all those races again.

just started it yesterday, did a drag race online the best car that ive seen for that is the datsun 510, i was in a buggatti veyron, the guy gave me a 500 feet head start still beat me. seriously fast car.

Plus you will have to understand, different locations spell differently in the English language, and often phrase things differently. Our Editor is down very sick at the moment, so we are all trying our hardest to do the best we can, so be patient with us in that regard please.

For the “Lapper” achievement, you actually have to go to the Time Trial leaderboards and select a race from there, that is the only way. Reading through it looked like it was written by a 6th grader.

My next one will be detailing the menue layout, as well as discussing working with just a few cars to get through most of the “Class Races” in Seasons Mode.

You do NOT need all new cars for every class. Personally I’ve found the Audi M4 one of the best equipt cars that can range from “B Class” right through to to top of the “S Class” – and especially at the Drags and Speedway events.

It just takes a little modding, and you can change back and forth using the Auto Upgrade, and it will remember your settings from the previous time it was in that class.

That and a few more will be detailed in further Guides. Please let me know if you have any problems with the downloadable PDF of the guide as well. I want to make it as easy as possible for armchair racers to enjoy the game, without having to go to the PC all the time to check settings on some site.

Feel free to share the site around of course, and if you have any feedback or Forza 3 Tips, then let us know, and we could incorporate them in further Guides if viable.
