Im just going to use this thread to link to the relavent topics on the official forza motorsport forums here.

Don't forget the Corsa aswell......(toddles off to preorder off Argos)

Do you think there will be an option available to add a 4wd drivetrain to the Focus . Joking aside, this game is going to be fg brilliant. I am a bit gutted that it is released just before my university exams, so I will have to hold off buying for a a week or two.

Spa stands out as missing at the moment. The "hundreds" of tracks as I suspected are slightly different routes around fantasy island, not that bad a thing as road racing is great fun(like test drive). Still think Shift is going to edge this, as it looks to have moved things on.

Spa....

I hope if it's not included from the start it's a DLC...

Is NFS Shift a proper sim? I think FM3 will be a brilliant game, and very well sorted with good attention to detail. I say this because they have spent so much time on it, and FM2 seemed like a half arsed gap filler.

Yes, they say simbin's GTR levels of realism(actually the hands on reviewers have said this too). They also boast of "Forza 3's exclusive" tyre deformation.

But Forza has developed a huge community of online race fans and budding artists.

The site seems to have gone a bit "crashy" at the moment for some reason.

I used to be good friends with Simbin's boss back when he was still a nobody and working on his first GTR. They had tyre deformation, temp and fuel sloshing way back in 2001 (ish). how can FM2 claim it as exclusive?

They say exclusive for console, but Shift have rained on they're parade somewhat.
