how does the tweet thing work, as i dont have a twitter or whatever that is, is there some place i can go to get details as they come out, or will they be on that link provided?

The way it works is this: 

The guy will update his twitter by posting 140 characters maximum messages, which will appear on that page. I don't know if it will refresh automatically, but I don't think so.

As I have a Twitter account, I can use a 3rd party program (in this case Tweetdeck) which checks all the people I am following for messages every minute. Literally, for me, if he tweets, I will know about it within one minute of him doing so. Saves my F5 key.

As I said, I don't thik that one will autoomatically refresh, but it may show something along the lines of "1 more tweet since refresh" or the like. The info WILL be on that page, it's just how to get at it in a timely fashion.

"You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need."

oh as far as refreshing goes ill be hittin it manually about every 30 seconds, so i should be good on that front.

Good grief this is exciting!

I've got everything crossed that Bathurst is in. Obviously the developers know the track (FM1 Blue Mountains anyone?) and V8s just wouldn't be the same without it.

I'm excited about recreating Bathurst 12 hour cars too. A friend of mine is building a BMW 135i for next year's race. Should be awesome.

GoodGearGuideThe game features 'over 100' tracks, but no news yet as to whether there'll be any Australian tracks at launch or on DLC.

GoodGearGuideThe V8SC / Xbox 360 partnership means you'll see eight V8 Supercars in Forza 3 - four VE Holdens and four FG Fords.

four holdens and four fords confirmed!  

 woot!  

 

And we might be able to paint up favourites anyway, eg paing Courtney's Jim Beam falcon over the top of Whincup's car. Should be sick.

Triple post josh. Good to hear 4 Fords and 4 holdens and since we can paint all cars ourselves there is no livery we cannot recreate :) Too bad no word yet on tracks yet.

I can't believe they'd do the Ford V. Holden series without bathurst at the bare minimum.  I mean they're in australia.  Bathurst is the definitive australian racetrack.
