92 Escort RS Cosworth is European

The game has the Cosworth as the United States selection for the World Cup in the Dirt event. This car could not be imported to the US till 2017. Please give us picks that were actually available in the US.

I have noticed this as well with some of the cars for the event. Sad that we have to point it out

You could also argue that the Mini used in the world cup is not actually from the UK. lol

It is. The Mini is an english brand owned only by the BMW Group. Main production factory is located in Oxford UK. That most of the engines are delivered by peugeot doesn’t make a difference :wink:

Only letdown is the fact that the original Mini is also sorted under the Mini tag, but the classic Mini was build several years before the Mini became it’s own brand so it should sorted under Austin or Morris in the game. At least the FH5 Model has lost the brand tag on the back that was existent for the FH4 model.

Apparently, they could be imported as early as 1995.

It’s rather simplistically based just on the manufacturer rather the car model, so Ford as a company is American.

So on that basis all the new style mini models should be German as the parent company for the mini brand is BMW lol

The fact that PGG/Turn10 treats all Fords as American (including unique Euro/UK or Australian models like the Escort or Falcon) has been a thing for multiple Forza releases and isn’t going to change any time soon.

Simple answer if you think its misrepresentation and it bothers you that much, don’t use it. lol
