@Gordon / @ SRR What preset did you select for driving model? I went Hard and it feels closer to playing a mainline Forza than the very arcade model you get as standard. It feels better and more involved - which is a good thing.
Drivetaars / difficulty is still a bit bobbins. Rubberband-tastic so you don’t really feel like everything is playing fair - all in the name of making it feel “exciting”, it just feels false and fake to me. Particularly obvious in showcase events where you just manage to beat the plane/train/boat/badger by hundredths of a second again!?!!%&!
I have my drivetaars on “above average” which in the Goliath race meant they were all together and right on me at the start, I pulled away a good bit mid race but they all inexplicably managed to catch up on one corner at the end of a long straight where they could stop on a dime and I had a massive power slide. I then battled past the front couple in the latter stages and once there pulled away with ease so they were not visible behind me even on long straights. I cross the line well ahead then they all pile in 6 seconds later - which a) seems too quick for the visibility and b) suspiciously similar to how far back they are on other races.
On the plus side I quite like the variety is events - stuff like the telemetry ones and the additional check lists in areas. Helps break it up.
Would be up for some Time Trial like challenges when we’ve all settled in a bit.
