If you like big big understeer or massive lift off oversteer, you will love this game big time, for the car either handles like an oil tanker in slushy ice, or a a shopping trolley on sheet ice.


A bit of a shame. Although the career doesn't seem to be the best, at least it has a big amount of cars, and it's on PC, unlike Gran Turismo. I liked the options for custom races, it's available in free play, so one could create some nice custom events to play in.

In the case of understeer, I noticed it's a poorly implemented assist for controllers (and I imagine kb+m as well), as when I play with a wheel cars can turn more, which is also the case in the Horizon titles, though not as much there (except on 5, on that I find it more noticeable).

It's like it's limiting how much your car can turn so it doesn't understeer physics-wise, but it's too strong so it just ends up not turning anyway. When playing with a wheel, you can turn better before encountering actual understeer.

This doesn't look like a standard manufacturer color for the car, like it's supposed to be used for images. Is it? I think it looks interesting, do you remember what color it was?

Which came first: The Porsche 356 uses the VW 4-cylinder boxer engine from the Beetle, or did Porsche design a 4-cylinder boxer engine for the Beetle? It will seem confusing, but it is a question that I have not known for a long time which of the two was the first, since both the 356 and the Beetle, and even the T1, share the same parts apart from the engine: Headlights, bumpers, etc.

A quick look at Wikipedia showed me that the original Beetle first came out in 1938, while the first Porsche 356 prototype "had it's maiden voyage" in 1948. "Most of the mechanicals (including engine and suspension) were derived from the Volkswagen Beetle".

So the Beetle came first.

Also, something I didn't know: The Beetle was made by Ferdinand Porsche SR, the 356 prototype was made by Ferdinand Porsche JR.

The Crew 2 (2018)
Look at those tail lights! This looks a lot better than the 996 based GT1

I wish Forza had this one instead, I don't have The Crew 2, because I am NEVER buying an always-online game. I only have the first one from that time they gave it away for free. I wanted to know how the game was, but was never going to pay for it.

in fh2 there was a stock hood. a less sporty model has that wing. they could have put on the stock hood and removed the Mazdaspeed badge. that would fit the traffic car theme better.


They obviously don't care how easy it could have been. I mean, how hard could it have been to mirror a blacked-out interior also? Almost all traffic cars driving around Australia and Britain are left hand drive for some reason in this Forza universe. Also, why is every modern Fiat 500 we see on the road an Abarth? I guess this is a universe of gearheads with a lot of money.

Passat. And I don't think that's bias towards a car from where I'm from. Actually comparing images, I still think this.

I really don't think this has anything to do with a Supra.
At first I thought Corvette C5, with a different front (and the back I can't see), but after seeing those pics of the Aurora GTS-1 (which I never saw before), I say it is definitely that.

I also say +1 for Oldsmobile Aurora GTS-1

True that. I never saw the appeal in making your car look like a Barn Find with fat tires and stupid exhaust piles.


Well, I never saw the appeal in making your car look like a Christmas Tree with huge stupid spoilers that do more harm than good. There's a lot of styles for cars that many might find "stupid", and others that it seems not ENOUGH people think look stupid.
I like that these cars tend to be a lot more about "go" and less about "show". Sure, they might get attention, but only because they look like shit, until you notice the engine and tires that make your everyday sedan shit itself.

Now that I think about it, isn't Rat Rod sort of like Grunge? You don't care about your looks, because to you that doesn't matter as much as others seems to think.

Playable via cheat codes! not modding but only cheat


Why can't modern games like the newer Need for Speeds and Forza Horizon have this feature? I remember seeing some videos of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) and Burnout Paradise with mods to drive traffic cars, but why not have cheat codes for that? Even if less detailed, the models are there! They are just going to waste.

Rockstar should call the RV's in game manufactorer "Dubago" (pronounced dew-bag-o).

Now that I though about it, the name is clearly a portmanteau of DUB and gangsta. Too bad it will also remind me of a certain genre of music that I really hate.
