I hope in FM 8 you can do actually a race weekend, with quali etc. What keeps me away from FM 7 is that you are thrown into a race have to fight your way to podium, no matter what, to get further. it mostly gets dirty against AI, especially in the first lap, bc otherwise you dont have a chance, when you set the AI to your skill level or you tune them down and they are only roadblocks you have to drive around. that is not fun at all
Interesting video... "Turn 10 Studios has quietly grown to the largest size the studio has ever been and is working on the most ambitious Forza Motorsport yet. New tidbits: - almost all assets being created with photogrammetry - early dev on a new skybox tech similar to RDR2"

Just when I think I finally understand tuning in this game, I re-race the car I tuned and it feels awful. LOL. I want to make the homoligated Rallycross cars more compliant to turn and less prone to on throttle understeersteer. I've set the balance to 75% rearward, opened the front differential (25% accel, 0% decel), stiffened the rear antiroll bars, softened the front bar, stiffened the springs, set the brake split to 68% front, 32% rear, and then prayed the Rosary. The cars still plow and shows no eagerness to change direction. And even when trying to flick the car into a slide, they just lazily plow one direction before plowing the other. Any help with these things would be greatly appreciated
Part of going through the career. Eventually you'd have to drive the inane crap Turn 10 put into the game. Its FM4 bowling on steroids when it comes to how annoying it is to drive things like Stadium Super Cross Trucks in a track based racer. Off road ATV on Silverstone, or Rally cross cars (equipped with street tires?!?) on a rainy Brands Hatch don't pique your interests? Too bad! The road to completing the game is driving those darn things. I'm glad that Turn 10 is deciding to take racing in Forza Motorsport more seriously. Too bad they didn't have this revelation when FM7 started development.
I think there are enough serious games out there. Nothing wrong with a bit fun. And you don`t need to drive events that you don`t like
True but I want to complete all the events in the career, so I have to play them. And there is nothing that says a racing title can not be serious while being fun. Those qualities are not mutually exclusive. Turn 10 has the ability to get this mix of sim and entertainment correct, and it sounds like that is one of the major goals of the next FM title. I need to calm down with it comes to Forza. Andy, you've said nothing to agitate me and I got all defensive about it for no reason. That last bit about playing elsewhere was uncalled for. I apologize.
Alright... I got past the rally cross cars event. It took setting the AI to stupid and turning off damage and fuel use. For some reason the Ai cars do not pit, but I had to. I lost a few too many races doing that. I'm glad that I can put those cars behind me. Now on to the NASCAR events. Surprisingly the car responds a lot better to tuning. It must be the tires. The Rally Cross cars were restricted to OEM tires, cause a set if sport tires were available as an upgrade, but getting them would have broken homoligation. I can also turn damage and fuel back on, and raise the drivatar difficulty back to pro. The medium race lengths are just long enough to allow me to pass the AI without banging into them or doing all the cutthroat tactics regularly employed in the 3 lap sprints.
