I rarely play.

I don't remember what the game was, but it was on a Commodore 64.
How realistic would you say Forza 3 is?
From what I can tell, it's the most realistic racing simulator I've ever played.
How about drifting: how realistic was it? How hard was it to drift?
I've never drifted on a simulator before, so that was tricky. But I think more practice and tuning the car to my liking will make it more realistic.

Which track would you battle them on?
Deep Forest.
Should they add digital umbrella girls?
No.
Overall review/impression:
The game was surprisingly realistic. The amount of cars was amazing and the tracks, real and fantasy, were so detailed and realistic. I really enjoyed the "simplified menus" when navigating around the game. Forza 3 is really focused on making a racing game for car guys.
