Think you can once you get a house?

Turns out to be tucked away in the game settings.

Yup me too. Although I wasn't as freaked out as my wife, who I'm pretty sure now thinks the Xbox is sentient.

Thanks for accepting my application to the club (Know Moon).

Just got out of the (very) long tutorial last night and the full map is a bit overwhelming isn't it?

Quick question: if I enter a pvp style event are there limits to how much tuning cars can have? The few I have tried seem to have people in seriously fast cars compared to my stock efforts.

Am i already in a club?

The club icon has been greyed out from the start, and i'm well past the tutorial, and it's giving me options to join some of you lads.

Finally qualified and just sent a request to join the EGFX group. Don’t play online much these days but it would be good to have some familiar Drivatars to race against!

That is annoying but the worst thing about this is the fact 90% of the unlockables in the wheelspins is now emotes, dances, horns and shoes. Should be optional. Being a car game, I'd like cars and money... to buy more cars.

I had a super wheelspin last night and won 3 pairs of leggings

Yeah – when the wheel is about to stop on something tasty and then it springs back to a novelty horn. Gah!

Any Windows 10 users who want to join the club, you can join before you've gone through the seasons bit by using the Xbox App in windows 10

I'm finally out of the prologue, couldn't find a club to join last night- and it only seemed to search the teams with up to 25 members rather than groups with 1000 members... where am I meant to look for this fabled EGFX?

Agree on the annoying cosmetics from super wheelspins. That said, there seem to be a finite number of them (and I seem to have almost half of them now). Do you get duplicates or will it just stop giving me them at some point?

My luck with the wheelspins hasn't been all bad, though. I spent 2 million on the house that lets you fast travel anywhere and got a bunch of wheelspins with it, getting around 1.8 million in cash back from them.

Type in Eurogamer and it'll give you a couple of options.

@Rogueywon ooh which house is that? Ive been busy finding all the fast travel signs instead.

@Cadence It's in the North East section of the map, albeit fairly central. Can't remember the name (and can't check while at work), but it's a manor house and costs 2 million. Once you buy it, you can fast travel to any road or track. Combine it with breaking all of the fast travel boards and it gives you an effective warp-drive. Handy if you're in a hurry to tick off events (though getting around the slow way also has its attractions).

@Rogueywon

I have still been charged for fast travel to the festival and own this mansion. Do you have to have it set as home?

Personally feel in future instalments fast travel to festival sites or homes should be free anyway. Seems pointless having them otherwise!

@H1ggyLTD

Hmmm, you should be able to join as far as I know. I presume you were online?

I need to pop on to check the dailies later so could check if you're in...gamertag match your username?

You do have to leave an existing club to join a nee one too.

@H1ggyLTD Have you definitely fully completed the prologue? You have to go through all 4 seasons and then into the current online season before clubs will be available. Averages about 5 hours into the game for most.

Finally out of the opening and submitted my request to EGFX. Weird racing around all the places in the north where I go a fair bit - Ambleside, Tarn Hows, Bamburgh, etc. - but I'm liking it a lot.

@H1ggyLTD You ain't there which in hindsight makes sense, you'd have had to manually request it and have a club admin approve it.

It sounds like you aren't far enough in to be honest so just keep playing. Despite popular opinion the prologue is fun.

On to the fixed seasons. Not sure I dig it now, tired of the autumn already and would like the option for manual change. I can see a week of not being able to control anything in winter may be fatiguing.

I think a good compromise would be a shorter cycle (maybe three days) although I guess this would mess with the Forzathon challenges.

I'm wondering if new houses, businesses and maybe race types will unlock in subsequent seasons?

Some of the Barn Finds are season locked, which adds to the fun in my mind.

A bit like appointment to view tv.

If you're playing in private Team Adventure you can set the season. You can also blueprint any season you want. Not ideal but it's something.

team adventure is the easiest way to get into multiplayer races.when ever I try to start a multiplayer race no one joins or maybe one person.the problem with team adventure is it's team racing and has free roam rush races which I don't like.why isn't there a single player version of team adventure where everyone races against each other.the multiplayer is the weakest part of the horizion games they should have had a proper open online lobby system so you could pick what type of race,car,etc,or create a race that's open to everyone not just those on your map.gta also has a poor online system takes far to long to get into a game type you wan't I hope rdr2 isn't the same.cod and battlefield have the best online set ups easy to find what game type you want, and quick to get into games.lots of new games seem to have taken a step backwards with poor awkward online systems with these always online open world games which just don't work well for multiplayer bring back lobbies

That hovercraft event was quite something.

Still hate how the entire world is empty until you level up enough in those respective skills.
