I've been meaning to post this up for a while...

The latest in the line of the Xbox game series "Forza Motorsport" has classic Minis in it for the first time. As per the Forza franchise history, all vehicles can be upgraded from mild to very wild. It's a good way to spend the times it's too hot/cold/etc to be out in the shed...

Given the TV is about the size of a mini windscreen, and the new sound system, it's almost like being there :D

Here is one of mine with a decal set from the online database

I have the previous forza and it always annoyed me that they didnt have the classic mini on it. Good to see they included it in the new one. 8)

Yeah, it's nice to have some older cars for a change. There is an old beetle, Fiat 500, and an RX-3

There are upgrades, but no tuning. The game is a bit more arcade style compared to the other in the series.

Stock:
55kw
163kph

Tuned A-series, tuned chassis
179kw
240kph

Tuned A-Series, tuned chassis, supercharger (sounds awesome too!)
207kw
252kph @8500 redline in 6th gear

BMW Cooper S engine (1.6T)
135kw
208kph @7000 redline

Tuned BMW Cooper engine
338kw
226kph @7500 redline

Unfortunately due to the lack of tuning in the game, you can't adjust the gear ratios to get the most top speed out of it!

I tend to be somewhere between the first and second setup, basic engine mods, supercharger for the nice whine and around 100kw
