It’s teeming rain at Brands Hatch as my Volvo 850 Estate revs eagerly on the grid. Framed by a field of far sportier competitors the shiny red station wagon looks slightly absurd. But she’s a true sleeper car; from the outside she looks as if she ought to be packing nought but a cabin full of groceries and a back seat stuffed with squawking, snot-smothered kids but underneath she’s meanness set to music. She’s stripped of every excess kilo, turbocharged, stiffened, lowered, and converted to all-wheel-drive. Not even the fondly remembered 850 Estates of the ’94 British Touring Car Championship I built her in homage to could touch this thing.
She’s not entirely unbeatable, though. In torrid conditions the best I can manage is second. But it’s moments like these where most of what’s truly great about Forza Motorsport 6 can be observed all at once. The wet weather is like nothing I’ve ever driven through in a game. The offbeat Volvo family truckster-turned-track weapon is a perfect illustration of just how charmingly far-reaching and eclectic Forza 6’s garage is, and just how heavily you can modify its cars. The glorious driving dynamics. The superb sound. The unflinching frame rate. All right here.
