So features PGR 4 had right? You could get black ice in PGR4, but it was uncommon, and only used in a couple races. However the game did have snow, sleet, rain, ice, and.... well a lot.

I agree about other car types, it would be nice to see an F2000 or an F1 car, something open wheel.

I wasn't aware that PGR4 had black ice. But yeah, the game did have a lot of weather. I hope the next forza has some, but not anywhere close to that amount.

 

The most prominent addition to PGR4 is advanced weather effects that affect the look of the game and the physics of the cars on the track. The weather can change from sun to rain to snow to hail within a single race. A system logged on to Xbox Live will download weather data from The Weather Channel, allowing users to set in-game conditions to mirror current weather in their respective cities.

The game simulates ten types of weather, including clear days, clouds, light to stormy rain, fog, snow and even ice. In user-created races, weather is fully customisable along with all the other race variations. In the game's expanded and improved career mode, weather is predetermined, which adds an extra obstacle for players to overcome.^[9]

I didn't know that I could have the actual weather I'm experiencing play in game, but yea, weather is best portrayed in PGR4. Ice is only done in patches, I remember playing a race and then suddenly I started to spin on a long straight. 100m later, I regained traction. It's an awesome feature.

Wow that's impressive. Didn't know that the game had current weather.

I hope Forza 5 has that.
