It has been answered a few places.
When finished with Ultimate, you can choose whatever car/class/environment, but you have to go through the series and finish the last before it opens up.
Hi Coastkey, thank you for the prompt reply, I had a flick through the forums and even used search but couldn’t see anything (just me getting old I guess 
)
Pretty sure you can compete in any volume that you have already unlocked - you don;t have to complete Final Volume.
So if your thing is Volume One Super street - you never have to go beyond that if you don’t want to.
One of the menu screens has Stories of motorsport in the upper right - click that and then you can open any volume you have already unlocked… Pretty sure that’s accurate. I haven’t gone back though as I’m working to unlock Indy 250 endurance showcase. Which is a race in Volume four. Got 3 more race to go and I’m Indy 250(ing) a freaking lot… 
Thanks Pervasive, I think I tried that but it kept putting me in the first race of that volume (even if that volume had already been completed), but will have another look later this evening.
Like I say not a big thing by any means, and am enjoying the different career races as it is
Good luck with your remaining 3 races and the Indy 250! Give my Drivator a wave when you go past
Hi, I have recently got FM6 and I am loving it, great games, great physics, great graphics, and great sounds.
One thing which is really bothering me, and I hated in FM5 is that you select a season event, a race, and a car for such a season event…but…I like to modify my car to the highest allowed for the class of the race, but I can’t see anywhere where it tells me! So I end up modifying the car, then it’s illegal because it is too modified and so I have to de-tune it. How can I find out what the class is before I modify the car??
FM4 told you before a race…
Thanks!
The only way to see what the restrictions are for a race is first select a car and then when the upgrade screen pops up, select manual upgrade and at the bottom of the description, it’ll let you know what the PI restriction is.
This is one of the little things that I do wish had been better considered, so I wouldn’t have to keep leaving and re-entering races.
“Your car has upgrades that do not meet criteria” or whatever. WELL what are those criteria? No one thought to simply place a small text box there to let us know?

manteo you should tell dan to put your spreadsheets in the game. and some tuning tutorials while you are talking to him anyway.

Thanks for that post ManteoMax, but it is a little annoying. they should have just popped a class symbol in the corner of the event screen.

Yeah I find it a bit annoying that they don;t specify A650 or less, S750 or less on the non standard Pi Max - or when the error comes up ( car is illegal - the PI MAx for this race is: PIxxx…
But been using the list MM supplied and doesn’t bother e much anymore as I know what to build for now.
I entered Modern GT racing yesterday with one of the Ferraris and the window popped up saying that I needed to upgrade my car in order to be competitive. I then chose “manual upgrade” and it did warn me that I couldn’t exceed 865 PI.
Why isn’t Manteo on the payroll already? At this point I find his spreadsheets are near mandatory to get the information you need that should be in the game.

Why dont they just show a little icon in the bottom corner?! I shouldnt have to go start a race, buy a car, compare, come out of it all, modify my car, then re-enter the race! Also…whats happened to just selecting the drift HUD in settings when mid-way through the game? Instead of exiting it all, going to the homepage, settings, then selecting drift HUD…sometimes I only know what drift point on a certain corner. C’mon Forza!!! This drives me crazy…and I hated FM5 for it…
I’m just a few hours into the game and this is really irritating. I know my way around Forza games so I can back out of a race and sort out a car but for anyone new to Forza this would be a major PITA.
Dudes you don’t have to enter a race to figure out what the max PI is. When selecting a race, go to “buy car” for that race and all of the cars available for the race are automatically modified to the max PI for that race. Still not ideal but better than entering the race and then having to exit.
Manteos spreadsheet is a good way if you can view it somewhere or like the poster above says the cars available will be at that PI anyway. Poor design.
I recently was doing some races with the “Executive” class cars, and upgraded a car from around 648 to 700 (still class B or A or whatever). However, I was apparently over-upgraded. Since my car class didn’t change, I was a bit confused.
How do I know what the requirements are for my current racing class?
On a related note, if I accept the auto-detune option to meet class requirements, how can I see what the game has decided to change?
It’s pretty frustrating. You have to go to the “buy car” menu from the series opening menu. From there, look at what cars it’ll let you buy and what the maximum PI is for those cars. Then you can back out, go to the normal buy cars menus, buy the car you want (from the list you looked at previously) and then tune it. But, of course, the buy cars menu on the series menu doesn’t tell you the original PI so you have no idea which of those cars will give you the most to work with until you go find it in the real list.
Hope this helps
