Nordschleife joins Forza 5

10 posts in this topic

Includes Nurburgring GP, Nordschleiffe, and Nordschleiffe + NGP.  The pack is epic!  The new scanned track looks just like the way it looks on TV.

 

In addition to the track pack, the booster car pack includes 1967 Repco BT24 Brabham F1 which was the championship winning car in that year!  It was not the fastest nor the most powerful but most consistent car.  I would have preferred the legendary Lotus 49 or the awesome sounding Ferrari 312 but I'll drive Brabham over any other cars in FM5 any day of the week.  The car drives the way GPL cars did (even though it has been almost 10 years since I last touched GPL).

 

Driving the BT24 on Nordschleiffe has been hairy/scary!  Need to develop more stable set-up that I can use; the default set-up feels little springly and under-damped.

 

Still, FANTASTIC addition to FM5 library!  This kind of car pack I will gladly support with my wallet.

Forza 5 already made me want an XBox One but this now REALLY makes me want to have one.  I turned so many laps around the ring in GT4, love it.

I've just went and got myself an Xbox One and Forza 5 and oh my god was it worth it. Hours an hours of fun to be had

I'm waiting for Darin and Jason to run a hot lap of the Nordschleife in Forza 5.

 

We've just seen their hot laps in Assetto Corsa (Pagani Zonda) and Project Cars (BAC MONO).

 

This would be a great time, to follow up with this, and offer some comparisons.

No Xbox One yet. I can't dismantle my current setup, so I would have to set up a completely different rig (stand) just for the Xbox One and Forza 5.

It will seem absurd before you do it but this is exactly what I've done and its worth it if you have the cash. Amen about the test drive but they probably won't for a while since they did the Project CARS one recently. This is the best version of the Nordschleife I have seen in all of sim racing. The Assetto Corsa one is really good too but Turn 10 has made this one so there is just the right balance between fun and fear :)

This buy worth every cent!
