As Sti says, it will encourage banter if the 'winner' has all aids on and 2nd has them all off etc.

Sounds fair, as said before its for fun and to have a laugh with maximum participation.

Strange that, I find manual gears easier to drive the car. As I do think the AI uses the wrong gear for some corners. Yet turn the ABS and TCS off and I spend most of my time backwards or in barriers.

Really need to get a wheel very soon.

Sorry, to answer the question you get it by winning the porsche races in, I think, the manufacturers tournaments.

It wasn't very easy on full difficulty, rather than buy a new car I used the old porsche turbo you win earlier, and then modified it significantly, however it was an absolute beyatch to drive hard, it took me quite a few goes to beat that GT2 especially on Mugello!!!

talking about Gifting cars


I was reading over on the Forza forums that people have been sending cars as gifts, the recipient hasnt been getting the car and the sender's garage is one car less.

Sometimes the gift servers go down.
This happened to me when I sent a Scooby to DJDunk to vinyl up. It had disappeared from my garage but he hadn't got it.
Once the servers went back online he recieved it though.

Word of warning - make sure you are signed into Live when you start Free Run - had a go at lunchtime and I'd had to reboot my router, clocked a time of 55.690 only for it not to register. Had to try it again but only got 56.003.

Do the TT's and Exhibition races - they free up cars to use in Arcade & Multiplayer.
