They're a little tricky in Forza, as they seem to happen randomly; You can be watching a replay where a car will backfire, so you rewind to see it again, but it won't happen. So I was lucky to catch that one.
I'll keep at it though!  _________________

lol, In GT5 there was recently a "fast forward/rewind" option added in a hefty 1.7GB patch which added **** views to all of the standard cars and despite the option appearing to be frame by frame, it rewinds/fast forwards at least 27 seconds at a time which is rubbish for backfire pics.
So for now I still have to press pause at the right moment during a replay just to get it... which is harder than it needs to be =\
ah well, I'm sure they'll add frame by frame at some point. |

wow :O Nice! I love that "steel" case on the ultimate, its epic. And Jeremy is great at the narrarating.. Calling ferrari's front end's idiotic xP
So yeah, ultimate edition WINS |

While I love the presentation of the book, I was somewhat disappointed that it's just a print off of what Jeremy Clarkson says for his piece in the Autovista Mode. The book that came with the Forza 2 Limited Edition was much better I found, as it goes into all sorts of details on both how the game came together, as well as the cars and tracks, and more.
Are you on Live? I'll be interested in hunting down your times. So far, the best I've managed is 10th (F Class, one of the Silverstone circuits) and am usually in the top 60. Though the longer the game has been out, the more I'll be bumped down the table.  _________________

Yeah I'm on live, just use my mm2c username . I bet you'll beat me though, my favourite car to use is the Veyron Super Sport around the Indianapolis circuit. Yeah it took me a minute to find out the book was what Jeremy says in Autovista mode, though, I still love checking out the cars interior and all with every informations (some-most not in the book).
This game is so dayum fun tho.

Added!
Come on, I'm sure you can pick a better car at least, many people seem to default-favourite it just because it's fast. There are better ones out there, with some personality to boot!

So, I had some fun with Tim on Live. So here is what our final cars were:
Me: 2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Tim:Koennigsegg Agera
And after a while ( 30 seconds ) Tim epically owned me passing me by 17 seconds by the end of the race. I passed him once:
Wall pass xD. Which epically failed in the end. Also when Tim didn't notice (probably because he was epically owning me) , I did a few little flips:
He ended up beating me, but overall it was fun  |

It was fun seeing you in my rear view mirror.
Your late braking maneuver ..
.. Made you do this ..
.. Nice to see you eventually found some traction.
Also, random monster, I managed to capture some more fire spitting. There's a few more on me Forza page.

This game looks kinda cool.
Too bad it's not on PC... I'm not gonna spend $200 on a gaming system inferior to the laptop I currently have, just to play 1 game.  |

Yey FLAMES!
I love the sense of achievement after popping some pictures in 1080p of a car spewing out flames after endlessly trying to pause the replay at the EXACT moment it happens.
Also, I think a toddler was let loose with some paintbrushes around that BMW  |
