This thread has been linked to the game 'Forza Motorsport'.
If anyone here is having trouble making money on Forza and they have XBL then you could follow my strategy.
1. Get 68,000 Cr
2. Buy the Bentley that costs 68,000 Cr
3. Start a 'B Class' career race online that uses the oval test track and whack it up to 3 laps.
4. Get loads of people to join around 5 - 8 and your winnings should be around 40,000 - 60,000 Cr.
5. Rev up your engine and start racing, for the first half of the first lap you will probably be last in the race, but when the car starts to reach its higher speeds you will overtake all the other cars and should finish about 30s before the car behind you. Netting loads of cash in under 5 mins.
6. With the money you get spend it on making the car slightly faster but still keep it in the B1 Class. Tweak the gears so that you can get a bit more acceleration in the first two gears.
Shame I only rented this game.
If you want an extra kick from this, then once you have caught up with the other cars stay with them the whole of the race complaining how crap the car is. Then when you reach the final stretch just speed off laughing at them. Laugh more if one of them is French.

I'll miss Tilt ramming me off the track on the first corner..that was funny, Tilt was just a menace on the roads!
I've played this once since I bought it.
It appears to offer a lot, but I just can't be bothered.

I got rid of it because I found it incredibly tedious and boring. A lot of people love it, I just found it really lifeless and hollow. Even on the first day I had it, I was sitting there winning races and unlocking new cars and all I could think to myself was "so what?"
It all just felt completly devoid of any life or personality of its own. Still, plenty of people I know swear by it and I guess if tinkering with engines and changing wheels floats your boat, this might just be the game for you.
I just couldn't bring myself to continue playing it.

Yeah, but Rib got rid of it because he had completed it.
Which also doesn't bode well for the game, but you know, whatever.

I think ribby and Tilt have gotten rid of it already.
It's requires a lot of fiddling.

Hmm. I've never really considered this game. Although, with the departure of Project Gotham 2, I could do with an online racer. Is it worth buying?
Interesting, and as I am yet to try it online, I will try this tactic.
Especially the French bit.
