Why don't you play X Class?

  • Tests the limits of your capabilities.
  • Fun.
  • The AMR Pro looks really good and sounds good too.
  • More balanced, as everyone runs the AMR Pro anyway.

“Fun” - trying to survive as everyone crash everywhere not being able to handle fastest car in the game…

And tbh these fast cars are not even that fun, since it’s just brain afk with proper tune… The only problem is traffic, I played a lot S2 class In horizon just to try tunes… It’s boring 4f.
Idk I get more adrenaline when I race side by side in slow (b/a class) cars, when u trying to outsmart your oponent.

And also supercars/hypercars suck.

Give me old RX-7 and I will trade any hypercar for it…

“trying to survive as everyone crash everywhere not being able to handle fastest car in the game”

See, I play loads of X and P class and I rarely ever see this happen. I see it more often in slower classes and spec races.

Also you contradicted yourself lol. “brain afk with proper tune” and “everyone crash everywhere not being able to handle fastest car in the game”

So which is it?

25

Hard agree, miss my rx7 on fh5, now so ugly on fm8 that i never use it anymore

It might be brain afk, but faster car means it’s harder to judge braking points and u have less time to react, S class by itself is prime example of this, everyone want to race fast cars, bo not everyone can handle it…

27

So just turn on the braking line?

28

One reason i can add on why i don’t play x (or p/rclass) , is that i can’t make the car feel like my own.

If i take a f1, a lmp or whatsoever racing car, amr pro, or hyper/super car

The job is already done on the car, you have a big width, best tyres compound, a highly/fully upgraded engine, aero etc etc.

But i’m not even going to make a R class brz because i like modify my car, 1st it’s going to be very bad, but i also wouldn’t consider this car as my own.

If it was possible to create, to build my own racing car (like build a new f1), so maybe i would have an interest for those class.

This helps answer the thread’s original question (which is why I asked the follow-up).

  • A large percentage of this game’s players aren’t skilled enough to drive S- Class cars, let alone anything faster. Their skill ceiling is far below X.
  • Highly subjective and while you may enjoy X, many do not
  • It’s also paid DLC, and a class is more than a single car
  • Having a paid DLC car be the only competitive choice alienates those who do not have access to it

I like X, and I hotlap Nordschleife to “cool down”, but that’s an extremely minority preference.

From experience the popularity of classes tends to take a Bell Curve approach, so it’s understandable that the extremes (E and X) are far less popular than the middle (B, A and S).

Another thing, I like trying different cars and builds, driving one op X class car over and over again is just boring for me.

  • you get away with turning on every assist possible and hardly lose any time.

I enjoy lower classes (B to E) more because they offer more in terms of wheel to wheel battling.
Entering a corner two (or sometimes three) cars wide and exiting still side by side. Being able to set up a different line to counter the defence of the car ahead. Having the freedom to drive multiple lines without losing too much time.

In X class (same for P and maybe top of R) there is only one racing line, going off that line will mean messing up the next couple of corners. And the only way to overtake is if the car ahead made a mistake (or made the mistake of driving too safe).
There is no margin for error and mistakes are punished hard. To some this can be their challenge, but to me there’s nothing better than some proper wheel to wheel racing with battles that last multiple laps.

You just gotta upload the close races we had and the ones you had with others so these people can see that the same wheel to wheel racing experiences that they praise in the lower classes is still possible in X.

If we had permanent alphabet hoppers the X class community would naturally weed itself out as well as every other lettered hopper. But turn10 would have to stop rearranging the lobbies after the race ends. Worked perfectly fine in FM5 and 6

So do they irl. I don’t see the big deal. Stop shaming people for using assists.

Nobody is shaming anyone here - just straight facts. I use assists myself and there is nothing wrong with it.
Turn on all assists in E class though and you’re 10 seconds off. There is a reason why you sweat x and p class exclusively.

36

Actually I’ve won E class races just as easily, it’s just boring driving under the speed limit in a racing game.

Interest

It’s more boring for me to reach those insane speed. I feel like “why so much speed ?” “Did i need it ?” :joy:
I already consider reaching 220 km/h as something insane and if i can go over that, so the straight line is probably too much long

But that’s probably because the 1st type of race i like is “touge racing”

If i can’t imagine a car racing here, it’s instantly doesn’t interest me

Because I can’t create a public lobby and have it listed in a server browser. Come back here occasionally to see whats going on and log onto forza occasionally for a race or two but the restriction on lobby/car/track rules really sucks the fun out of the game. I don’t want to race against other people who are using abs/traction/stability/racing lines and I don’t want to be forced into a 30-40 minute rotation on tracks that I may or may not want to play.

why does it matter who is running assists or not? It has no affect on you.

how does it not affect me?
