I'm not sure which day it was confirmed. But the Infineon Raceway has ended up on the confirmed tracks on Forza Central.
"I did what I did for the good of the realm." "The realm? Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies, a story we agreed to tell each other over and over until we forget that it's a lie." "But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all?" "Chaos isn't a pit, it's a ladder. Many who have tried to climb it fail, never get to try again. The fall breaks them. Some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse, they cling to the realm. For the gods, for love. Illusions, only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is."

Also, don't you guys worry about Pescarolo/Oreca/Courage/Acura I have been reading up on what I understand to be the single most complicated car history ever. They are all the same and yet different...
This car is probably like some 60's childs whose parents were Hippies living in big communities.....You never know for sure who was the father ! :D

Did you go on youtube and search nose jumping? But yeah, just tune it in a special way, I was trying to do it with the 911 GT1 at Le Mans but it wouldn't flip.

Also, don't you guys worry about Pescarolo/Oreca/Courage/Acura I have been reading up on what I understand to be the single most complicated car history ever. They are all the same and yet different...
Na it came up as a suggested video when I searched for the FLMS haha :D

What’s the status of Porsche in Forza Motorsport 4?

This kills me. While Forza Motorsport 4 will feature RUF, it will not include Porsche cars. As many of you know, since the beginning of the Forza franchise, the Porsche license has been available only through a sub-licensing deal with EA. In Forza 3, we were able to feature more than 35 different Porsche models by offering to collaborate with EA. For Forza 4, we were looking forward to adding even more Porsche cars, and we were especially looking forward to featuring multiple Porsche experiences in our new Autovista mode. In the end, however, EA couldn’t see their way towards collaborating again.

We’ve asked our contacts at EA to reconsider their position frequently and regularly over the last 18 months. We also reached out to various influential people in gaming to lobby on our behalf, and on your behalf, but that was to no avail.

In our business, we stay friendly with all of the manufacturers and licensors necessary to deliver players rich and innovative automotive experiences. As you’d expect, this includes quite a few key people in Porsche circles. To make sure we tried everything, we consulted with these advocates and were happy to find they were already aware of the situation and lobbying from within on behalf of Forza 4--and, despite the result, we thank them for their efforts.

While we respect EA’s need to run their business as they see fit, we’ve regularly collaborated in the past and hope we can find our way back to that approach. Forza had the exclusive license for all Ferrari cars, for example, on the Xbox and PC platforms. But at the end of the day, we’ve always found that we just weren’t willing to block other racing games from having Ferraris outright, as we believed that this would do nothing but hurt the racing ecosystem.

I’m very sorry for all of this. Fans shouldn’t have to think about any of this – you should just be able to drive Porsches and Ferraris in the games you love. Porsche makes wonderful cars and I’m sorry that we won’t have them in Forza 4. As I mentioned earlier, we have added three RUF cars in Forza 4. RUF is a manufacturer in their own right, not simply an aftermarket mod shop—they completely remanufacture and enhance the models that they start from, and the results are unique, incredibly fast, and the cars look great. Losing more than 35 Porsche models is a lost opportunity for Porsche fans (as well as a lost opportunity to make future Porsche fans), but I hope that Forza 4 players understand and enjoy the new makes and models that have taken their place.

ForzaMotorsport.net has a interview up with Dan Greenawalt. Every Wednesday will be a new one.

http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/underthehood1/

Highlights.

No more car levels.

Replaced with Manufacture affinity levels. This level is affected by miles only.

Quote:
 
This XP leads to manufacturer-specific levels. These levels reward you with huge manufacturer-specific part discounts (up to 100 percent free parts), large cash bonuses (up to 150,000CR), as well as Badges and Titles for your Forza Player Card (more on that below). Level five manufacturer affinity takes about 30 minutes of racing. It gives you 100 percent part discounts (except on wheels, swaps, and body kits). This allows you to experiment with different part combinations without putting money on the line. Rather than five levels per car, we now have 50 levels per manufacturer. We used logged community data from Forza 3 to set the Affinity level milestone. Our target was to have less than one percent of our players have any manufacturer up to level 50 within 24 months.

Ultimately, our goals for the affinity system were: A) To give players the incentive to stay loyal to their favorite car or manufacturer, and B) To allow players to display their brand pride to the rest of the community, via the new player card feature.


About Driver Levels

Level Cap upped to 150 Levels

Quote:
 
...we want to continue rewarding you even after 24 months of loyal play. So, we used logged community data from Forza 3 to set the new Player Level milestone. Our target: have less than one percent of our players have hit level 150 within 24 months. In other words, reaching the player level cap in Forza 4 is going to take even the most dedicated players a long time.


Gift Options per level - A choice between several different cars up to level 50. After level 50 it will turn into a cash bonus.

Forza Player Card -
Quote:
 
includes several Badge and Title options tied to car affinity, World Tour completion, and of course player leveling. The player card also displays your current player level as a numeric value.


PORSCHE CARS WILL NOT BE IN THE GAME!!!!!!!

EA WOULD NOT WORK WITH TURN 10!

Dammit I was a little late. What I guess could happen is that Turn 10 could Dangle the Ferrari License infront of EA. Not having Ferrari on PC or 360 is a even bigger hit than not having Porsche. At best it could be DLC. Maybe..... Hopefully.

I vow that I will not run a Le Mans style series without Porsche representation. The two are foundations of one another.

Well James you can still Run a Rolex style series :P


EDIT: Also there is a possibility that Porsche higher ups might not like this. Will have to wait and see and hope there might be Porsche DLC later.

Not just GT2, Sportscar racing fullstop is incomplete without Porsche.

Unless I see some 2011 prototypes it's going to be tough justifying spending the cash for this game now. :(

maybe t10 will rename the porsche gt2, ruf gt2 or something, that seemed to be the way that the old GT games got around it. but yeah that is pretty lame. sounds like ea might not get ferrari in the future though.
