However, I really don\u2019t see the point of the 1966 Ford Country Squire station wagon being in the car pack. Racing it makes me feel like a &#8220;late-for-class&#8221; geography teacher.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, it was nice having some rare racing pedigree such as the 2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato or even the ballsy Ultima GTR.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-34335\" title=\"Forza 4 March DLC 1\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-297x167.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-530x298.jpg 530w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-625x351.jpg 625w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Forza-4-March-DLC-1-250x140.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For all the Tarantino fans out there, a \u201969 Chevrolet Nova is included as well;
