So on the 15th the Honda Challenge car pack will be released for free.

It includes the 2013 Honda Civic Si Coupe, the HPD Rally Fit, and the 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe. There's also a track pack as well that I think just serves a contest where you can meet some race driver if you beat his time and also a special photo contest for the 2013 Civic Si where you can win a limited edition 360.

I'm not really a fan of imports, but it's nice to see one of the car companies stepping up and handing out free DLC.

Well it is only a honduh...

That's pretty awesome. I'll definitely be looking forward to that. Thanks for the heads up!

Finally tried the online. Pretty good, but I wish when you are sitting waiting for a race to finish (when you first join), that it would let you watch the race. Move the camera about and such. That would kill time much better then just staring at a lap count.

do you even get a lap count?

Actually not sure. Mine said 3 laps, but I wasn't sure if that was a count, or if it was saying the race was 3 laps.

A lap dance would have been a better time killer.

Yeah, it gives you a lap count for circuits. On street races you're left twiddling your thumbs wondering how much longer though. I really like the online, apart from the few jerks I've come across that cuss up a storm if anyone even comes close to bumping them!

Honda Challenge Car Pack is out (32.5 MB). Here's the direct link.

The Honda pack doesn't seem to include a track. It just mentions the 3 cars. I'll take it, though. You do wonder, though, why you have to pay anything at all for any car. It's all advertising, in effect. They should be paying us!

I think that stuff sits for a very long time. I was a VIP in Forza 3 too and stopped playing and came back to it more than a year later and gifted me like 10 cars on the spot.

It seems that only people who have raced online got the car in Forza 4. I just started up Forza 3 UC for the very first time and I had six Turn 10 messages with gift cars so they definitely changed how they gift cars between 3 and 4.

Wish you could watch races while waiting and after finishing.

That's better than the room I was in where everyone was taking eachother down burnout style. Every time I had the lead someone would wreck me on purpose instead of just passing. Very frustrating.

No track for this, just three cars. The track was voted for on the dashboard and it will be red rocks. Should be raceable under the monthly rivals.

Eh, it's frustrating and haven't played the online part but I have a feeling it'll be better than the closest game to this, TDU2. There were so many obvious modders in that game and Atari did nothing. People had the highest level without achievements needed to get there and you'd see cars that had the max tuned level listed that shouldn't have had levels listed as they weren't tune-able.

it's really sad that there are people that feel the need to cheat in order to feed their sad egos...

That type of game is some of the more fun ones I've played! If everyone wants to bump 'n grind I go right along with it. But it's when everyone's respectful and you get one or two guys that do that that I get PO'd.

I am now afraid to play online... because I tend to bump into other cars, not out of spite, but because I'm a bad driver. LOL!

Is anyone able to invite people to the CAG car club?

I was testing a car with great acceleration and lower speed and kept taking the lead only to be purposefully crashed when they could have just passed me which made catching up that much harder. It was a burnout race to them...

People realize stuff happens but continuously wiping out other cars is frowned on. I have totally taken someone out on accident, recovered first, then waited for them to drive off first because I felt bad.

Look for inmateofarkham.

There are quite a few people wanting to join the club and as it was (still is?) full up maybe its time to set a restriction? Gotta have Purple, Gold or Finalist? just putting it out there!

Hit level 50 on a friend's account and was disappointed the rewards stopped. They should throw a lottery pick in at least every now and then once you hit green!

Seems like there will be enough for a second club.

Or a big prize for hitting a new color. Disappointing the way it is. Once I hit 50 I'll probably lose more interest. At least then I won't be afraid to buy cars because I may win them leveling up.

Can't believe only 3 of us tried the community bounty. I just beat Johniwanna's time who isn't going to try anymore. Looks like a Ferrari Dino will be coming my way!
