... playing Forza.

The addition of the Gurney Eagle T1G (and its Weslake V12) was a big reason why I wanted to get Forza 6. I would have been happy to fool around in 5 and 4 for a decade but I really wanted the Eagle (and the C7R).

The Eagle holds a special place in my heart and in motorsports history. Dan Gurney piloted it to victory in the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix on the original Spa road circuit, becoming the second of three drivers to ever win a Grand Prix in a car of his own design. It’s also the only American-built car to win a Grand Prix.

Of course I’m sure you all know that a week earlier Gurney was part of the only All-American victory at Le Mans when he joined A.J. Foyt in the Ford GT Mk.IV and absolutely dominated Ferrari. It was Henry Jr.’s last middle finger to Enzo. Gurney also started the tradition of spraying champagne after the win.

Those two weeks must have been something else.

The Eagle is a lot of fun to drive, too. Nice four wheel drifts, sounds great, looks perfect.

Lots o torque, lots o fun!

I had a lot of controller time with the Lotus 49 and the Brabham BT24 in Forza 5. That whole era of F1 cars is a hoot... and a challenge.

Did you ever play Grand Prix Legends on PC? Still arguably the most hardcore racing sim of all time, showcased the ‘67 F1 season and it was spectacular. I'd love to see a Honda RA273 and some of the other cars as DLC.

I downloaded it a few months ago and gave it a go. It’s damned impossible.

Now that they've added the Gurney in the 67 lineup and the McLaren is a 66 but still similar to the 67 cars, the one that really seems to be missing is the Ferrari 312. I know it wasn't a contender that season but still, how do you not have it?
