Thread: Forza Motorsport 3 Demo Discussion Thread

To find a ghost, scroll down/up the leaderboard and you'll seen an icon in the the column with the paperclip icon, this means there is a ghost replay avilable. Highlight the player that has such an icon and click A.

Gotta love marketing... LFS, rFactor and iRacing are all better, quite easily, imo There's also netKar Pro and probably others that I haven't put enough time into but are quite likely to be better as well, It's good, it's not the best sim though. imo of course

Dan Greenwalt says what he does becasue on the 360, he's spot on. Of course he also refers to the PC games, but the PC games are very limited.

I'm sure I saw/read that in FM3 we will get the option to vote kick as well which will help...
