why would I need an Xbox Live Gold account? Isn't this just for the Grand Final in L.A?

There is no sytem link mode listed on the Forza box so all the matches must be played online

OMFG!!! Well ok then, I guess I could borrow someone's account just for that tournament. If I make it to the World Final, there will be enough time for me to buy a Xbox Live Gold account.

Yep you do need your own account, however we might have 2 for people that will need 1!

@ Nic: I`m afraid your car with your custom painting won`t be allowed as it`s not stock in the game. Still haven`t received an answer about this, but that would be my guess.

A paint job doesn't do anything for the car plus in the game options it has an option "force stock tunnning and upgrades"

as I said, they haven't answered yet, but this is what I feel they'll say. Then again, they could just reply, then why would you want that paint job so badly if it doesn't change a thing

Just a little confused, it says 1v1 but max players 3?

Also, how many players will be selected to go to the finals in LA?

Only 1 player is selected for the finals in LA.

1 vs 1 but the 3rd is use in case of broadcasting as a spectator!

Alright, thanks
