you got bored because you cant drive the cars properly, its a sim not an arcade racer with powerups

such as...? imo this has the best physics to date, including lfs. 
 
it updates the physics 360fps faster than anything yet made 
 
they even hired toyo to help with the tyre physics

physics are pretty good, but they've certainly seem have made it a little easier than FM1 - take the corvette, in FM1 it was a pig to handle (which is pretty much like it is in real life, foot down out of a corner and you're all over the show), in FM2 (no aids on, nothing, nudda) it just seems to grip and is so easy to handle, very poor show. 
 
Though they have let themselves down with the graphics, which is a shame after all the hype about how good they were going to be and then trying to blag it's to do with smoothness by limiting it to 60fps   
 
I'll still get it though, just because it's forza and it's generally a good game
