If you've checked your in-game messages, it's said that the next Forza Monthly is scheduled for the 26th.

Okay, this is weird. I did the weekly Treasure Hunt and Photo Challenge plus a couple of wheelspins. Then The Curse of S struck and the game crashed. When I restarted the game, I had lost that progress. When I redid the spins, I got exactly the same results. 100,000, 10,000, and 4,000 in the Super Wheelspin, and 250,000 in the regular wheelspin. You would think, if the wheelspins are truly random, then I would not get the exact same results twice.

Now that's extreme unlucky...or lucky. I mean, at least the rewards are not that bad lol.
 
It's surprising because I think the Odyssey that was on FM7 a few years ago has the ZF 9HP? Now I'm curious if they simulated that transmission properly.

The Odyssey in FM7 has the in-house Honda 10-speed - apparently the ZF was only used on the lower trim levels.
 
There can't be any licensing issues with the maps surely, can there?
There actually is licensing for maps, in terms of landmarks. Think about The Crew which had the Willis Tower or something like that, and the sequel doesn't feature it. Spider-Man 2018 used to have the Chrysler Building and Miles Morales has a generic building. Said landmark is still absent in its sequel.

Fair point bud 👍

I really hope to see more TCR/entry level race cars in the game. We only have 2 Chinese ones so far which kinda makes them a lonely existence. Would be interesting to get some new TCRs from FM and create a new Touring Car Class.
 
I was gifted a Lotus Emira. I already have one, so I tried to gift it to someone else, but I couldn’t. I got a message saying “this car cannot be gifted.” But if it can’t be gifted, then how was it gifted to me? So I put it in the auction house. It didn’t sell, and when I tried to recover it, I discovered I could gift it from there. So that explains how I was gifted it, and that’s how I finally gifted it to someone else.

And the 2020 Audi TT RS Coupe from car pass, in FH5 we have 2018 version.
 
If we get another Audi TT then I demand we have a new story in game. The story will revolve around your avatar transporting a hairdresser in their new Audi TT to their clients.

Earn 3 stars on all the missions and the new TT will be yours.
 
I don't understand how someone says that adding some cars is wasting space. Does forza have a limit on the number of cars? I think not. Of course if they were to add only 2 cars in the new update it might be silly but if they added 8 or 10 new cars I wouldn't mind if among them was this audi.

The front may not be much different but
The rear already much, it is more sporty and aggressive.

I'd say of these, we're most likely to get the newer models. If they go with the 'rest of Europe' idea and don't add cars from Italy or Germany, that would likely be the Sabre, Valkyrie AMR and Senna GTR from this list. Maybe the Valkyrie for a Series reward, then the Sabre and Senna GTR for Week 1 rewards, to make that week about Great Britain.

But if they DO include Italy and Germany, I absolutely expect the new R8 and the MC20 to appear at some point, whether in DLC or otherwise; Microsoft has a marketing agreement with Audi, and of course we know through that leak that the MC20 is coming to FM2023. The Sian and M2 we can eliminate from here because a) we already have the Sian and b) I assume the M2 you're referring to is the new M2 we just got in Horizon Creatives; I feel like we can also safely eliminate the Golf too unless they want to add a racing Golf to go along with the rally Beetle. Might be able to eliminate the Battista too out of sheer creator provincialism for the moment.
