The Smoking Tire Car Pack

You really don’t need a logical explanation, you answered your own question:

This.

I’ll bet June’s car pack will be the most downloaded out of 'em all so far.


I 100% agree with you there man. I really love the game but the grocery getters have got to go and more race cars need introduced. I really hope they bring a ‘track pack’ to the add-on arena with Nürburgring on it. That would make me quite happy…even if I’m paying for it. ALSO, what time of day do car packs get released? I don’t see the Smoking Tire Pack up yet??? Anyone know when I should expect it to be downloadable???

Nope. I agree wholly with your thoughts. Seems we get more and more filler and less race lately.

Makes me pretty sad to see how far the series had come to be rubber banded further back.

Am not temped to buy this dlc at this point in time but forzas and its cars are like sweets in a candy store I just have to have them all at some point but not right now i would of rather have seen some more in game content to be added not that am moaning or anything :-/ the pack has no appeal to me althrough it will appeal to many others so have fun with the new dlc i may pick it up at some point but not right now :slight_smile:

So much agreement with this…

I am constantly fascinated by how disconnected the Turn 10 team is that decides on cars for these car packs. I started writing a buncha stuff but, seriously, how much do they care? Every car pack will be the same, a bunch of unwanted plebeian cars and a couple decent ones. What’s crazy to me is that it takes the developers the same amount of time to put this Abarth econo box into the game as it would a Mosler. But this is what they decide to give us. I’m sure the driving experience of this unwanted car will be vastly different than any other econo box in the game. Sure to be a D class thrill machine. Surely worth paying for… Ugh… I said more than I wanted… Safe to say, I won’t be paying for this car pack either. Congrats Turn 10

I’ll be the first to say…no C7!!! C7 is in Need for Speed, but not Forza?

For once, a pack with all new cars would be nice.

aside from the fact that I was awaiting and hoping for some race cars, I like the pack
I like the mc12, but I would rather want the GT version tbh, the 33 Stradale is a gem, one Ferrari per pack is seemingly a must and OK with me, and I welcome the FF,
but I am mainly interested in the punto supersport, fairlady twinturbo, Celica GT-Four and Audi RS 2 Avant
overall I am satisfied, but they should bring some racecars!!!

Can’t wait to get my hands on the FF, and the Alfa seems like a nice adition to the garage.

A bunch of rehashes. I should have known before buying that stupid season pass. Pathetic. As for this race car debate. I hate when they add race cars. Most people want to build cars not drive race cars.

I am starting to believe that Turn10 doesn’t actually listen to the community anymore… I am tired of these cars that are repeats. If it were half repeats, half new that would be fine, but the fact that there is only 1 new car and it is a Fiat! Come on Turn10! What are you doing!?! You are going to lose a lot of fans of this game if you keep this up, especially with Project CARS coming out on the Xbox One soon.

Dude I totally agree they don’t listen. They are going to lose so many loyal fans(since 2007) all of them will be on project cars in a years time this game isnt a sim either half the time your getting crashed into and half the cars wouldnt be raced anyway there are only 14 tracks with 2 of them bernese and Prague being made up they are both terrible tracks we want real tracks- monzaa hockenheiming nurburg Suzuka sepang gb the lost keeps going on. Bur what do they spend their time on? Putting 9 of 10 cars
Back in the game and frankly a few l them arent that good either

I like Prague actually. The track list doesn’t bother me. I am comfortable with it, I just miss Infineon and Nurburgring. Other than that, the tracks I can deal with. It is the car DLC that is just getting ridiculous. Stop bringing back older cars that no one drove. Bring in some new stuff. Along with that, where is some of the features that made Forza iconic? Auction House, old Storefront, Save Replay in Multiplayer and I feel like the Drivatars were a good idea, but executed incorrectly. I still like them better than the old AI though.

I mean come on, so many new vehicles that could be added. Corvette C7 Stingray, C7 Z06, C7.R, Lamborghini Veneno, Lamborghini Huracan, more race cars (that aren’t from older Forza’s, and some that were), Jaguar F-Type, Acura NSX (the new one), Camaro Z28, Cadillac ATS, New Mustang, trucks like the Silverado, RAM, F-150, new Dodge Dart, Jaguar XJ, Tesla Model S! I could go on and on, but it would take a while. Not trying to make this a wishlist, but this is just a list of obvious cars that need to be in or would be better than what is being put in.

I can say that I am done with LE versions of the Motorsport series until they step up their game and start bringing in new stuff and not repeats.

On the one hand, I disagree about the “…cars no one drove.”, since I’ve driven the '94 Fairlady a great deal (more than any other car, maybe I skewed the statistics?) in the previous iterations and the 033 Stradale is a LB car in FM4 in class A and some class B, so it gets driven a load.

On the other hand, I’m in complete agreement about the features you mention. Those are basically server-side features that shouldn’t be affected by the new gen console and code.

Lastly, I was thinking about this last night and I think that the drivatars are a gigantic FAIL. I was attempting to do a career race in class B on Bugatti and that track is just an outright nightmare with the drivatars, they spend nearly every second of the race smashing full force into each other and me, not only punting me out of every corner, but even racing up behind me just to knock me off of the course. I even tried hanging back and falling to 16th place at the first sharp switchback/chicane and it didn’t matter, the drivatars make what appear to be intentional moves to drive me off of the course and then spend the rest of the time not trying to win but to disrupt my race. I know that the human versions of the drivers don’t drive this way, because they actually want to race cleanly and win. If Turn10 can’t do it, I can write an algorithm for them such that the drivatars can learn how to avoid disruptive contact, drive faster cleanly and attempt to win a race. The current code looks like Turn10 hired a baboon to code it as it appears that the AI/Drivatars are simply slamming into others when they can’t get the line they desire and have zero consideration for actual purpose of the race.

They are not going to loose a lot of people to Project CARS since that game will have a even more limited roster of cars. But if Horizon 2 is done right they will loose a lot of people to that but I don’t think Turn10 will have a problem with that.

I agree Peter, Pcars isn’t as good as what people are hyping it up to be, at least not at the moment (hoping it will get better though). Assetto Corsa is better in almost every aspect, Pcars only really has a graphical edge on it at the moment. Even then that is only on the pc version, who knows what the X1/ps4 version of Pcars will be like at this point.

As for the cars T10 are releasing via DLC, what do you really expect? They are remaking the old cars all over again, as well as trying to provide us something new in the process. I am quite happy with my purchase of FM5 and the car pass, and I will also be getting any and all track DLC when T10 release them, even if they was previous forza titles. As I keep conveying to everyone, T10 are in a catch 22 situation at the moment. There two choices where to either port all of FM4’s content over to the X1 and FM5, or to rebuild it all from scratch. You just have to take a look at GT5, and the reaction it got over the standard cars to see exactly why T10 decided to go with rebuilding all the content from scratch.
