Back Top Forza Motorsport Strategy Guide
 Infinite Money: In career mode, purchase the Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6 from the Volkswagen dealership. Next, head into the Garage and the Buy Upgrades screen. Enter the "Engine and Power" section and purchase every engine upgrade available except for the Engine Swap (that includes each individual turbo upgrade, each intercooler, etc.). When you've finally purchased every upgrade, you can then purchase the second engine that's available in the Engine Swap for 2,500 Cr.
After purchasing the new engine, re-install the stock engine. You can then sell the second engine that you purchased for 44,092 Cr (remember, you only paid 2,500 Cr for it) for a profit. You can then buy the engine again (for 2,500 Cr), install the stock engine again, and sell the new engine again for 44,092 Cr. You can repeat this trick to build up as much money as you want.

Graphics
Just by examining the screenshots of this game, you can tell that it is the best graphics to date. Not only do the cars look incredible and accurate to real life, but the tracks feature ultra-realistic 3D components (such as trees, buildings, fences, grandstands, etc.) and jaw-dropping textures. The cars will reflect the virtual world of Forza Motorsport and leave rubber on the track surface. Everything will cast shadows as a result of the gorgeous lighting that will be implemented into the game, whether you are racing at night or during the day.
 You will truly appreciate the graphics - and feel as if you are racing in a real world, as a result of the painstaking work by the development team. For instance, the track surfaces sport incredible textures that are dynamic. You will see not one repeating track texture, as the development team has ensured that "every inch" is completely unique. Not only this, but the tracks will actually look like they had been raced on, since evidence of rubber marks and other such details will make up the track surface. This will form a "racing groove" or, in other words, the area or line of the track that results in faster lap times when following it. This "racing groove" will act as a guide and those who follow it will have an easier time improving their overall lap performance, just like in the real world.
And the graphics are not just for show - an extensive damage modeling system has been implemented into the game to simulate real life. If you smash into a wall as a result of too much speed, your car will take damage and its performance and handling will be affected according to the degree of the crash.

Audio
The sound will definitely blow you away and is an extremely important aspect to the game. Each car will have its own unique engine sound and tracks will come alive with environmental sounds. Cars will sound different as a result of upgrades and affects to performance as a result of damage taken from crashes. In the end, every sound will be simulated to create an accurate representation of real life and to enhance the experience gamers will enjoy when playing the game.

Gameplay Controls
Like everything else, the control and handling scheme in Forza is very realistic. It's also very challenging and will take some effort to fully understand. The sense of speed in the game may make you want to brake too late and, if you do end up braking too late, most of the time you'll end up in the gravel. You'll also have tendency to put too much pressure on the gas and brakes and that is the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do. On top of the basics that you will be required to accept, you will have to get used to each car's individual handling. For instance, the Subaru may allow you to accelerate quicker out of corners while the Corvette may require you to gradually accelerate to prevent loss of traction. The control scheme is very difficult and may be frustrating at first, but it is very rewarding when you learn to take the corners flawlessly and overtake an opponent.
