Yeah, sorry about that. It's caused by a difference in string cultures where compared to North America, Europe seems to swap commas with periods for numerical values. Sommergemuese released a temporary fix earlier in the thread that you can use until I go back and fix it in my version...

Well all I have to say is thank you. You guys (Energien, Veegie, Sommergemuese and others) have made tremendous progress just to get the models out of Forza and into an editor, and to me the models are looking pretty good. (hope we will be able to get the tracks extracted too - when the time is there).

Thank you for your continuous efforts.

Ernegien found RGB offsets for paints today.
Standard SQL layout.
Files can be found in Forza 3\Media\DB iirc

Yes.
Writing-to and importing an .mtl file with .obj is possible.

There are small artifacts in the render, but it still looks amazing.

I used 3ds max with mental ray, I imported the .obj directly into max. It could be a result of my choosing to import certain pieces individually, the 'artifacts' appear where the meshes intersect. This render shows is more clearly:
