I just do the quick upgrade to get it up to the top of class and learn to drive it. I may look deeper if its just too hard to drive but usually just learning the track and the car is most important there is always time left out there i feel without even tinkering just got to put together that perfect lap.
I find what helps me the most is if I like the sound of the car then I stick with it no matter what just makes chasing rivals that much better if the car has a certain growl.
One of my faves is the Mazda 3 that thing sounds like its gonna blow up at any minute its awesome.

A fellow lazy sod. Quick upgrade to the top of the class, like Jimmy.
I entered the Car Showroom last night and found about 40-50 free cars available. Scooped up all of them and found custom paint jobs for each. Three hours of my Tuesday evening vanished in an instant.

I can guarantee you that you could spend an hour sweating over which parts to put into the car and then hit the track.
Or, you can spend an hour tinkering with your line out on the track using a quick upgraded car.
You'll be faster in the quick upgrade, I promise. Until you learn every braking point and squeeze every ounce of speed out of ANY car you drive, the setup doesn't mean sh*t. There are rare circumstances where a set gives you a snappier turn in or better acceleration, but there's absolutely no substitute for on-track time.

Ran a few races and just as expected, great game, and..... I pretty much suck! It'll take quite a while until I'm placing in the top 5 consistently, and that's alright. I guess it's learning the track, understanding the car I'm driving, and staying focused throughout the race. I love that that the drivers race very close to human like and will make their fair share of mistakes.
I was able to download a car pack that came with the game, which is cool.

Forza 5 requires you to adhere to one of the most basic maxims of auto racing as well as any console game I've played: Slow in, fast out of corners.
Don't scrub speed braking too late for corners. Not only does it pooch your corner line, it also kills your momentum for the corner exit, which usually is followed by a straightaway.
Learn to find the latest you can brake without locking up and then coast to the apex (center) of the corner, applying the power for exit at that point.
Easier said than done. It's a skill honed by tons of laps. Good luck!

What he said.
I do get the idea Paul ...its the execution where I get executed.
Game is so bad ass...If it werent for Dragon's Age I would be spending every gaming minute trying to squeeze every second out of every class at Yas but alas Im an rpg geek.
screw twitter. i don't need to be fed the same marketing PR hype that they deal out to fanboys like you Aristo. I rather get the good from guys who have played racing games for a while like PK, Tcrouch, and countless others.
You can shove twitter up your twat as far as I'm concerned.
Right. I wasn't promoting Twitter I was pointing out that much of your posting is Twitter-like banality. It's not like I'm going to read you on Twitter. More like, if you were posting on Twitter, maybe you would post less here, and everyone would be happy.
I won't get into the argument about Inuyasha's posting habits, but I will say this:
OF COURSE Forza 5 looks better than Horizon 2. FM5 just renders a single track with 16 cars or whatever. FH2 has to render an entire countryside that you could zoom through and leave the road for at any moment.
It's like comparing Grand Theft Auto graphics to a corridor shooter like Call of Duty. GTA looks awesome, but not at the detail that a CoD game does with its limited rendering distance.
