At what points in Forza 3 do you start races in higher positions? - SmarterGamer most recent 30 from http://smartergamer.com 2010-09-09T14:32:51Z http://smartergamer.com/feeds/question/507 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://smartergamer.com/questions/507/at-what-points-in-forza-3-do-you-start-races-in-higher-positions At what points in Forza 3 do you start races in higher positions? John Rudy 2009-11-24T21:29:07Z 2010-08-29T08:22:17Z <p>Pretty much self-explanatory. I'm playing through the career on Forza Motorsports 3, and am now starting at position 6. When I started the game, I was starting at position 8. (Both of these are assuming an 8-car grid.) </p> <p>I'm fairly certain this has to do with driver level, but I'm not sure what the progression rate is. Does anyone know the progression?</p> http://smartergamer.com/questions/507/at-what-points-in-forza-3-do-you-start-races-in-higher-positions/514#514 Answer by John Rudy for At what points in Forza 3 do you start races in higher positions? John Rudy 2009-11-29T20:17:50Z 2009-12-05T21:28:32Z <p>My general experience has been that for every five driver levels you advance, you advance one position in the starting grid. So the standard progression appears to be:</p> <pre> Driver Level Grid Position 1 8 5 7 10 6 15 5 20 4 25 3 30 2 35 1 </pre> <p>However, there are exceptions, notably on more advanced races. There, your car also becomes a factor. It is my current belief that these are your highest possible starting positions; other conditions may lower them. (I've had one race when I should have been position 2 where I started in 3, and another where I was pole and started at position 3.) I need to do more fact checking and verification on how the progression actually works.</p>
