Getting this at Midnight. Found a nice local deal.

I found this on the Forza forum-

UPDATE: Missing VIP and/or LCE offerings

Hi folks,

We are aware of an ongoing issue with Forza Motorsport 5 players who are not being recognized as VIPs or are missing specific LCE or VIP-related content in their games. We believe this is a platform issue and are working closely with the Xbox team to solve. Once this issue has been resolved, affected players should begin to see LCE and VIP related content in the game, including relevant content outlined in Wednesday's Week in Review post.

Thanks for your continued patience.

If I am reading the following Twitter exchange correctly, what jms said is accurate. You can "rent" those cars for free but to use them online or in a career you still have to spend credits on them-

[Swarley]

DLC cars, yes. All of the DLC stuff only unlocks those cars for availability. All of the Day One and Limited Edition cars you will not need to pay for using in-game credits and will hopefully be fixed soon.

Turn 10 should try and make this easier on their customers

What is there to earn now though?

4M doesn't go very far with a lot of the high-end cars and race cars.

[jms493]

46 cars is around 20% of the total car population.

You also need CR for upgrades. I play this game to race online mostly. Career mode is just a mindless checklist of stuff to do. The computer is decent at Professional which provides some level of challenge at least. Cockpit view in this game is pretty awesome.

I will confirm with my partner goat...we may try a bit of Need for Speed on the PSWHORE. If we play Forza I will invite you.

Yup. Didn't take me long as I spent half of that 4M on the Bugatti and Zonda but did it why they were 50% off
