There's a lot more cars there. I went home for lunch with the intention of kicking it off, hoping that it might be done by the time I got home a little over 3 hours later. I wasn't expecting it to download all 670MB inside 25 mins, giving me enough time to have a quick race. Started off in a Porsche 911 Turbo, 4th on the grid, and despite a slow start managed to finish 3rd, with only a Sagaris and Viper SRT10 ahead of me. With another lap or two I'd have won it as my 3rd lap was the fastest by anyone and I was catching them up nicely.

Graphically it looks very nice. Contrary to what some of the tools on OcUK have been saying (the thread over there is full of bickering, I'd have banned several if I was still Don there), even without AA in the demo the cars look great, a very obvious improvement over Forza 1. The Porsche handles beautifully, though there was some understeer as you'd expect with an AWD car. I'm going to give the Ford GT a try tonight as that much power through the back wheels should be fun to try to control

It *shouldn't* be too bad...but knowing me it'll be rock hard. Hopefully that will be my last uni exam ever and I'll graduate - but this seems too good to be true

Good luck with your exams Haly & Show.

Good luck Show too Sorry got distracted by Robert having an exam the same day as me
Mine will be hard but it leaves only one obstacle between me and an Msc so it'll be nice to be over with.
