Good stuff, glad the RX is back and keen to get the E63 to see if it has a V8 supercar kit

would be annoyed about lack of new cars, but paid for the season pass on day 1

Good to see the new E63. So much for the COTF coming out this month.
I think they will start putting more new cars into the game when the season pass runs out

I'm thinking that too, happy I didn't get the forza 4 expansion pass

They still haven't scanned the Nissan cars yet. So don't hold your breath

And probably never will (for FM5 anyway)   . I was talking about the Xbox car because I was told by one of the guys from the team to expect it this month.

So we get one CoTF... Wow that's going to promote racing...

That's typical Turn 10 though, Put 1 car in so then it has nothing to race against. eg: FM4 - Maserati Gran Turismo GT4.

Lotus T124

787b (so has this one)
Toyota GT-ONE (and again)
Audi Quattro Rally car
BMW V12 LMR
Rhys Millen Veloster and Genisis
037 Stradale
HKS Time Attack Evo
Maserati GT4
Hill Climb SX4
...

Turn 10 are victims of their own success unfortunately.

Due to a large proportion of its fanbase purchasing the season pass for not only this game but FM4 and FH (not sure if there was one for FM3), it's basically giving them licence to put a bunch of rehashed cars in the packs, because they don't need to go and do anything new or spectacular. So really, they could just blame us for purchasing whatever filth* they throw into a car pack, stating that 'if we didn't like the cars why did we purchase them?'

Honestly, I think it just genuinely needs some actual competition in the racing sector of games (Need for Speed is closer to Call of Duty than Forza Motorsport in some areas). It's the same with a professional sports player; If they become the best player on the field and are getting picked for every game, they can start being complacent with how they're performing due to guaranteed selection. Throw in Project Cars or something to really shake Turn 10 into doing something new.

(*Disclaimer: don't actually mean the cars are shit)

Would have been perfect for a single make series along the lines of the super fun Carrera Cup.

I did want to use it for a one make series but no one showed any interest in them.

Merc cant be built to spec even close to the V8's - Lowest weight is around 1650, so 300kg to heavy even with all the lightest bits used and RWD converted.
