Get ready for race weekend with Daytona, new Spotlight cars and the Italian Challengers Tour
On Tuesday we'll share details about the fixes contained in Update 4. This version is focused on new content and events, and contains only minor fixes for car and track content compared to our previous updates. Work on game fixes to address top community issues is ongoing—look out for additional improvements in Update 5 and beyond.




NEW TRACK - DAYTONA
Daytona International Speedway is a historic, world-famous track with banked, high-speed corners and in Forza Motorsport, it features two distinct layouts. Master the high-velocity 2.5-mile Tri-oval Circuit and the technical, more challenging 3.59-mile Sports Car Circuit.

Compete on both layouts in Career Mode and Featured Multiplayer, set your fastest lap times in any car class in Time Attack, or enjoy a Daytona race day either solo or with your friends in Free Play and Private Multiplayer. We'll also have a special Daytona Sports Car Series in Featured Multiplayer to replicate the excitement of the iconic race weekend. Daytona International Speedway was built in 1959 by NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., who wanted to create a track that was faster than any other in the world. Since then, it has hosted several races including the annual Daytona 500, as well as IndyCar and IMSA. The track was renovated in 2016 with the installation of 101,500 seats, making it one of the largest stadiums in the United States! With the release of Update 4, select existing Builders Cup series will be updated to integrate Daytona, Hockenheim, and Yas Marina.

SPOTLIGHT CARS - UPDATE 4
Spotlight cars are featured in the Showroom every week, available for you to acquire with a 30% discount using in-game credits. These cars can be used in the new Italian Challengers Tour, as well as Spotlight Series events in Featured Multiplayer and Rivals. Further details can be found here.

SEE YOU AT DAYTONA
Whether you're racing Italian Challengers using the new Spotlight cars, competing online at Daytona to celebrate race weekend in the upcoming Featured Multiplayer series, or building your favorite cars in the Open Tour, we can't wait for you to discover everything Update 4 brings to Forza Motorsport starting on January 16.

I guess it's something. Game has been a big disappointment so far.

 

[P4-630]

I'm still good with Forza Horizon 5.

Where the hell is Sebring or Imola?

38% approval on Steam

What a trainwreck.

I dunno, you have to do the practices, put in the time and get your car level and driver level up, then its pretty decent. They make you grind for it..

Gamepass reset this Game twice. I decided to get it as a gift on Steam. The Game is fun to play and the cars have nice Physics. The issue I have is that 7 was so much more than this. Multiplayer can be fun though. When you get people that are actually trying to race you and not spear you it comes into it's own. There are multiple lines at just about every corner but some of the tracks are so tight (VIR) that passing without incurring a time penalty is almost impossible. Speaking of the AI, someone ran into the back of me and I got a penalty. That needs to be fixed asap. This drip of tracks is ridiculous though.

No Nurburgring Nordschleife either!

Nürburgring and Laguna Seca are the best Raceways ever. Nothing could compare to that.

I'm not a Forza fan, but this is kinda cool! I wonder how well it will work?

Makes you even wonder why they release DLC's for a game nobody plays. "Forza Horizon 5" still has 16x more players, "Forza Horizon 4" 6x more players.

I agree and I'm a very big fan of Road America too. It's kind of like a mini Nurburgring. ...and it's about 15 minutes from my house. I love it there.

Ratings aren't everything. If you have enough of an installed user base, making expansions make sense.

Obligatory Daytona USA post:

That is your opinion. They are nice but Imola is sweet. Bathurst has to get a mention and Spa is nice. It's too bad Sebring is not in many Games, that is an epic track to race on. Sonoma is a better track than Laguna Seca. You are right though the full Nub track is the best long track in the world.

They will use this data to justify never making a motorsport game again. Honestly, with how bad this game was maybe they shouldn't bother with motorsport anymore.
