Both DR3 and Forza 5 gameplay has been altered to provide a more inclusive gaming.  DR3 has eliminated the clock and Forza 5 has eliminated the requirement that you start at the bottom.  That is to say, all of the tracks are available for you to drive, and all of the cars are available for you to purchase.  Your ability to win races will be dependent upon selecting the right track for your car or purchasing the right car for the track.

It'll be interesting to see how receptive this works out.

That's interesting about Forza.  I can't wait to see what the fanbase thinks of that concept.  I'm not really keen on it, myself, as I love unlocking stuff.  I would hope they still have it planned out so that progression is not too simple.

I think what it does is make it more realistic.  I do believe there are some tracks that you can't access until you get certain cars, but it's no longer about progressive leveling but rather your ability to perform well in races and subsequently your winnings.
