Upgrades and Tunning

[HLL8LLY]

How can I tell the class limitations, before I go to upgrade and tune my car? It’s annoying that I spend the time to upgrade, only to be told my car is illegal and have to go back and spend more time de-tunning my car, before I can actually race. It’s a waste of time, in other words, just because the limits of the class is not stated before hand. Aggravating!

Career - Stories of Motorsport

The main career mode in Forza Motorsport 6 guides the player through a collection of cars and circuit tracks with increasing length and difficulty. As you progress through Stories of Motorsport, you will be given the opportunity to enter Showcase events and then return to Stories of Motorsport.

In FM6 most of the cars are assigned a Division. These body types are used to select certain eligible cars in each Volume of the career. If a car is not assigned a Division or is not one of the options, it can’t be used in career but it can still be used in Free Play, Rivals, and Multiplayer. Each volume has three Series of six optional divisions. Once a player starts a series they must complete it or start over in a different division before unlocking the next division. However, players may continue to use the same division cars for the next series or choose a different division. One division in each series in a volume must be completed before the next volume is unlocked. Players must finish each race in 3rd place or higher in order to proceed to the next race.

Restrictions for each series are not shown but you can determine them by opening one, selecting Buy Cars, and seeing where each car PI is - buying cars from this menu includes automatically selected upgrade parts to bring the car to the top of the restriction limit. You can back out of the event and go to the main menu Buy Cars list, buy a car stock, and then upgrade it to your preference. Note that some series have a PI restriction lower than the maximum for that class, so some downloaded tuning setups won’t be eligible. Opponent Drivatars in Stories of Motorsport are upgraded to the top of the event restriction and do not adjust down based on the player’s chosen car, so using a stock car will be less competitive.

Class PI thresholds: E300 | D400 | C500 | B600 | A700 | S800 | R900 | P998 | X999
