I third this (is that even a thing?). I expect (crossing my fingers) that we should see a guessing thread soon!
Can’t wait for the clue thread some time today, since clue threads are usually on thursdays 
Does the clue thread start today?
It might. Or it might not.
Either way we’ll have the DLC next Tuesday.
you mean this Tuesday the 1st
Now I’m not sure if we’ll get a DLC clue thread this time around as some of the staff at Turn 10 are taking some time off (see latest HMA thread for an example).
Hey guys watch this video and let me know what you think for July.
It says they can’t wait for them to be made available it’s could just mean they want them in the game. I hope they do make it in but could just be them wishing.
The licensing issues seem to be a bigger nightmare than you could possibly imagine from what a friend at an auto maker has told me. That side is really multifaceted as well because it involves Turn 10 paying the owner of the IP (typically auto manufacturer), working out what the amount is and the possibility for cross promotion there (free manufacturer specific car packs, the cars being featured at the launch of a game, etc), the manufacturer actually seeing the value in having their vehicles in the game (some obviously really understand the importance based on how quickly their cars show up in games, some clearly don’t, my friend is at one that doesn’t seem to see the value of it but being a Forza player he helped push to make some things happen).
Plus the already mentioned issues of actually obtaining a car to scan and run on a dyno.
Cut Turn 10 some slack, they can only do so much given that they have to contact the appropriate parties for every car to work out the licensing, obtain the car, etc.

I’m pretty sure the July pack will be pretty good wonder when the clue thread will show up did terrible last month didn’t guess any right.
From the WiR:
July Cars Coming Tuesday! Folks, a new DLC car pack is coming to Forza Motorsport 5 on Tuesday, July 1. Normally we’d do a “clue” thread in the forums, dropping some delicious hints about the next pack of cars. However, with John on vacation this week, we haven’t been able to do a traditional thread. That said, I’ve got a couple of teases for you about next week’s pack that will hopefully whet your appetite for what I believe is one of our strongest FM5 packs yet. Here we go:
- Another “Grand Prix Legend”.
- Ascari almost won in it.
- Pure poison.
Hopefully #3 is the Veneno (which means “Poison”)
As there isn’t an official clue thread;
-
Another “Grand Prix Legend”.
1967 Lotus 49 ( a counterpart to the Brabam" - I think the quotes are a reference to Papyrus’s Grand Prix Legends
I’ll take as many 1967 F1 cars as T10 chooses to model… -
Ascari almost won in it.
If Antonio Ascari - 1925 Alfa Romeo P2 - The car he was killed in while leading the French Grand Prix
If Alberto, the 1951 Ferrari 375 - 2 2nd place finishes and 2nd overall for the year (He was better with the Ferrari 500 with which he won the championship in 1952 and 1953. -
Pure poison.
I’ll second this: Veneno (which means “Poison”)
If #2 is about Alberto Ascari then that would be an early 1950s race car, maybe the Ferrari 375?

Good guess. Ascari drove it during the '51 F1 season and he got a 2nd overall place behind Fangio.
#1 Any car driven by Senna would be Legend-ary!
#2 Def the Ferrari 375 from 51’.
#3 Please be the Lamborghini Veneno!! (But probably another Cobra Mustang)
I could see #3 being the Shelby 1000, another viper, or another Hennessey venom
#1 I guess it will be the 1967 Lotus F1 car as a counterpart to the Brabham
#2 1951 Ferrari 375 Just…makes sense
#3 Pure Poison…Hennessey Viper Venom 1000,you can’t get more poison XD
Grand Prix Legends was PC racing sim from 1997. Brabham BT24 was one of the cars in the roster. Other prominent cars were:
Lotus 49 (most likely July DLC)
Ferrari 312 (2nd most likely)
Eagle Weslake T1G (remotely likely)
Honda RA300 (not likely)
Cooper T81B
BRM T115
Who says you need a lot of cars in a racing sim?
And still one of the best sims out there
