Hey car fans,

Thanks to Xbox LIVE, Nissan, and the folks here at Turn 10, the very first downloadable content for Xbox 360?s acclaimed racer ?Forza Motorsport 2? will be available tonight (or tomorrow morning) 8/1 2AM PST. Speed over to Xbox LIVE Marketplace tomorrow morning to download the all new free Nissan car pack featuring three premiere Nissan models: the 2007 Sentra SE-R, Altima, and 350Z.

To celebrate this release, Xbox and Nissan will be hosting several activities for Forza 2 fans in the U.S. focused around these new additions to ?Forza Motorsport 2?s? already robust car list. The first of these activities will be a Nissan Sentra SE-R tournament on Xbox LIVE. In addition to the tournament, Nissan and Xbox will also be hosting an in-game customization contest, as fans utilize the incredibly deep livery system of ?Forza Motorsport 2? to create unique and stunning paint jobs on their Nissan Sentra SE-Rs. The contest will be judged by a panel comprised of Turn 10 developers and Nissan representatives, as fans vie for the title of ultimate Nissan customizer.

On top of the awesome free car pack from Nissan, we're also offering the famed Peugeot 908 race car for download on Xbox LIVE Marketplace (50 MS points). Coming off a second place finish at the recent 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 908 not only brings yet another top-notch race car to the Forza universe, but it is also the only paintable race car to be included in the game.

:thumbsup:

I have a question about Forza 2. It's not about the free DLC, but there aren't any up to date F2 threads so I'll post it here.

From what I understand, if you beat a certain time trial that car gets unlocked. However, I still won't be able to buy it until I've completed certain challenges, races, or level. Is this the way it's supposed to be? To me, it seems like I haven't anything in "unlocking" them.

I mean, we're already given a full list of cars to buy at the beginning. Winning a time trial doesn't really do anything. I know this because I see the cars from time trials that I haven't beaten already on the list, but locked.

So can someone please explain this? Thanks.

I haven't put as much time in as other people have (level21 or so right now), but from what I understand, cars get unlocked from the dealership as your level goes up.

I know there was the Fairlady Z. I honestly havent hooked up my 360 since I moved or I would check.

Content pack seems meh. Would be cool if they got some new tracks, possibly even older ones from Forza 1. I dont have a desire to race any of those except possibly the 350Z for five minutes.

Well, kind of hard to beat free.

One of the Forza 2 guys said we can expect more in the coming weeks. Whether that means more cars, more tracks, or both remains to be seen.
