Forza Motorsport 3

[Kiel_GTI]

If its anything like GT2 (yes the PS1 version) It'll be about 30-40 Euro's and around 550 odd obscure Japanese makes ranging from about 6 different Suzuki wagon R's, to JTCC's. Although fun as it was, didn't really interest me at the time as it wouldn't now...

I still want it badly though, and my TV is a $200 ALDI jobbie, which makes me feel that much worse when I'm on the PS3...

There will be a lot of Japanese cars no doubt, but there is also Ferraris (Namely the 458 Italia), Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Bugattis, a ton of audis, the new mercedes SLS, toyotbru FT-86, and all in crazy detail. Plus about one million Nissan skylines

The 458 Italia will be out as DLC for Forza 3 soon enough.

I have to say though, my favourite track in F3 is the Maple Leaf Short Circuit.

It has just the right amount of corners, slope and straights to make it enjoyable to drive in any vehicle.
Plus you can fang the tail end out on a RWD car around half the corners so it is driftable.

They should offer you a job in sles/marketing!!! Can't say anything bad about the game, and you are hooked! lol

Maple's not bad. The left hand hairpin is lots of fun in a WRX or Evo... I reef on loads on handbrake there just for fun.

I love the Kaido hillclimb circuit. It has everything, wide open corners, hairpins, off camber tightening-radius bends, jumping crests, tunnels and some seriously steep gradients.

I haven't had the chance to race on Kaido yet, must try it out when i prep a RWD car for drifting.

I have mainly been playing through on career mode.

If anything wants a quick challenge on the game my brother and I (live in different citiesd) have been trying to beat each other's lap times around the road atlanta long course in a stock Subaru 22b in arcade mode (don't have live).

His best is a high 1:33, mine is a low 1:35...

Have a crack if you want.

They verified or unverified times? Either way they're pretty good.
Just did 10 laps. Best verified time was a 1:40.6 and unverified was a 1:39.8.
Plenty of room for improvement.

Off to play FM2.. You bastards haha.

And the first patch is out.

Be careful when updating as your saved game might be wiped! Didn't happen to me though luckily but read on the FM3 forums that it can happen.

The patch allows loading of saved custom car setups at the lobby for multiplayer games and fixes an issue where rebound and damping would switch themselves around.

Cheers,
Trent
