This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

Typical T10 right...lolWatch them pull it off and the cars be 10 different liveries of the Focus RS RX that's already in-game
Whoaaa.... I see " Forza X"...."leaked" pic from some event.
Same here, it would make sense with the number of off-road cars in the game, but I won't hold my breath on this news alone. The number of events and races Gran Turismo has sponsored over the years which have had very little to no bearing on any of the games is huge. But if it was true, it would be a fantastic addition to the series.
Thing is though is that when this picture came out, people were predicting that the new Xbox would correctly be the Xbox 1X. I don't think there will be an offical Forza X game but it was an example of what the new xbox is capable of. See that one thing where they had banjo kazooie to show off the kinect a while ago.
Yeah, Rallycross might be a great idea for Forza 7. So far, Forza 7 feels a bit like Forza 6 in 4K with dynamic weather. The car line up so far is pretty much Forza 6 + Horizon 3... which isn't bad... but still... i see quite some room for improvement. A serious take on offroad races might be the next big step.
I feel a bit strange about Forza 7 right now. I'm really looking forward to it but i have the feeling something is missing. We have seen only ONE trailer so far. There are almost no up-to-date GT3 cars in the game... there HAS to be more.
I dunno. The differences between one FM and the next never seem to be really that large.
There was a world of differences between FM4 and FM5 (understandably, since it was for a new platform and whatnot) but having spent some time tonight with FM5 for the first time, there's a huge difference between FM5 and FM6, not just content wise but also visually and with the controls.
A BMW Isetta rallycross race would be hilariously funAlso I hope they don't restrict what cars you can use.. If I want to take a Formula 1, Formula E, Indycar, Nascar or LMP car Rallying.. Who are you to not allow me?
Off road racing doesn't even require any licensed content. I am genuinely surprised Motorsport hasn't introduced a fictional dirt track with multiple rallycross/short course ribbons. You could even include a dirt oval and then build rally stages(!!) out of the entire map but alas this feels far too revolutionary for Forza to tackle.
Not to say official GRC cars and tracks wouldn't be welcome; they are underrepresented in games, and with it effectively being a manufacturer-backed exhibition you'd think that they would push for this kind of exposure.
Annnd my expectations just shot through the roof. Great...juuuust great.
The amount of times that I've seen speculation like this on this site is very high.Yeah since most of the offroad buggies, heavy offroad, pro trucks and rally monsters from FH3 made it into FM7 I would say something with offroad is coming to FM7. Not sure if that would be rallycross or just dirt circuits a la GT:Sport.
I honestly can't recall the last time something speculated like this actually came to fruition.
"Shrug" get your hopes up if you want.There are often clues like this. When Turn 20 started adding so many Holdens to FM6 people including myself started assuming the next FH game would be in Australia. And that was pretty much spot on.
