Hey there! So, you're diving into Forza Motorsport 7 and wondering about all the different cars? Let's break down how they're organized, which the game calls 'Divisions'. Think of these like categories that help sort out the thousands of cars available. How to Get Cars: First off, you can grab cars from a few places: * Buy Cars menu: Your main go-to for most vehicles. * Specialty Dealer: Offers a rotating selection. * Auction House: Where players sell cars to each other. * Driver Level Rewards: As you level up, you'll unlock cars. * Forza Driver's Cup: Progress through the career mode to earn specific cars. * Forzathon events: Special timed challenges that often reward unique cars. Car Collections and Homologation: Something new in Forza Motorsport 7 is the 'Car Collection' tier. Every car you get adds points to your collection score. Collecting more cars and hitting certain point thresholds helps you unlock even more vehicles. Pretty neat, right? Also, cars you get outside the main 'Buy Cars' menu are 'homologated'. This basically means their performance is already tuned up and ready for specific types of races within their division. It saves you some setup time! Forza Edition Cars: Keep an eye out for 'Forza Edition' cars. These are special versions that give you a boost to your credit rewards, which is super handy for buying more cars or upgrades. They also often come with unique looks and some performance tweaks already installed. Car Availability: Good news! Since a few updates, most cars (except for special 'Unicorn' cars and some Forza Editions) are available in the 'Buy Cars' menu. Even most 'Forza Edition' cars have been added, though a few are still tied to specific content like DLC or the Forza Driver's Cup. Understanding Divisions: Now, about those Divisions. These are what the game uses to group cars for events. You'll see a long list of them, and each one has its own set of rules and types of cars. Here are some examples: * Ariel Nomad Spec * Classic Street Muscle * Early Prototype Racers * Early Sport Luxury * Early Sport Touring * Elite Factory Racers * Exotic GT * Fast & Furious * Formula 70s * Formula 90s * Formula Drift * Formula E * Formula Ford Spec * Formula Mazda Spec * Forza GP * Forza Group Rally * Forza GT * Forza P1 * Forza P2 * Forza Specials * Forza Touring Cars * Forza Trophy Trucks * GT Racing Reborn * Historic Road Racing * Hoonigan * Hot Hatch Genesis * Hot Hatch Icons * Hot Rod Revival * Hypercar * IndyCar * Major Micros * Mazda MX-5 Cup Spec * Mercedes-Benz Racing Truck Spec * Modern Hot Hatch * Modern Off-Roaders * Modern SUV * NASCAR * Nostalgic Drag Racers * Offroad Buggies * Open-Wheel Legends * Polaris RZR Spec * Prototype Group Racing * Radical RXC Spec * Rally Heroes * Rebirth of Muscle * Rise of the Supercar * Showroom Rally * Sport Compact * Sport Compact Icons * Sport Coupe * Sport GT * Sport Luxury * Sport Touring * Sport Touring Icons * Supercar Renaissance * Supercars Championship * The Birth of Grand Prix * Track Toys * Vintage GT Racing * Vintage Off-Roaders * Vintage Sport Compact * Vintage Sport Coupe Each of these divisions is important because when you enter a race, it'll usually be for a specific division. So, knowing which division your car belongs to is key to making sure you're eligible to race! Have fun exploring the huge car list!
