I think it will be a launch title for the next Xbox. Forza is always the showcase for graphics. I do agree with others 8 may be the "last" numbered title in that Forza will just get constant updates so that you don't need a "Forza 9". They've been doing that now with 7 (features/cars) as PD is doing with GTS and "live services" (in Jim Sterling's voice) via Forzathons.
I could see them showing the 8 and then flipping it to the side for "infinity" or "infinite", which goes perfectly with what is described above and to be in line with Halo Infinite marketing.

Agreed with a launch title for FM8.
I've read reports last month that said 2 of the new Xboxs are to be unveiled at E3 (since 2018 apparently was used to announce a next-gen. in development). I'm assuming they will at the least, just be detailing their specs and release date, but if a montage is included of its games, FM8 would be a strong candidate for the racing genre.

If the next Motorsport is released as a stand-alone title like the previous seven games, then I could see it being released as FM8. However if it's launched as a Game-as-a-Service release, it would be such a departure, it would require a new name. Maybe Forza Motorsport Infinite as @urmie suggested. I just don't see it being called FM8.

Agreed with this. I think it makes sense to get away from the numbers in the title too. Diminishing returns are 100% a thing when your on Number 7 in 14 years. Phil Spencer talked about how he felt they had burnt out the Halo brand a bit with so many Halo releases and I think the same applies for Forza Motorsport. So yeah a longer dev cycle, drop the number, call it just Forza Motorsport and service it like Asseto, GTS etc.

Can I just say, Forza 7 on PC...don't even bother. Apparently, there's a known bug where the game won't really register your graphics card and the Know Issues site says to just go in and change the setting back to where you had them...but I don't think the person who wrote that has ANY idea the amount of lag that's generated from that bug. One does not simply walk into Forza 7 on PC and change the settings. Yeah. Also, it keeps wanting to switch to 4K settings for me and my computer doesn't do 4K so, I have no idea why Forza 7 wants to. Also, also, I clicked on "Recommended" settings once and it switched from 1080p to 4K because...I mean, fair that's the settings Microsoft WANTS you to run on, but not what my computer can do. So...yeah, I'm not running Forza 7 until that's fixed.
Thank you, very helpful

Agreed. 👍 TVR so far has been given some love with returning additions like the Speed 12, Tuscan S and the new '18 Griffith being added to FH4. Will love to see Oldsmobile get the same treatmate as well.

Damn, I hope to see this car. GT Racing Reborn is bloated, yes, but it's the good type of bloat. And GM's only representation in this division is the Greenwood Corvette, which is from an older era of IMSA.
Speaking of which, the Car Pass wasn't stellar but there were such amazing things in it like the Greenwood Corvette, the Brabham-Alfa and Fangio's Maserati 250F that I question people who claim it sucked.

So guys, have you ever wondered what FM7 would be like with music from FM1? ...you didn't?
Fah, I still did it!

With most of the team moving to a new project, I guess that means more or less that there won't be an expansion?
That would be quite the shame

Ah. I suppose that the glitch on the PC with "graphic driver updates" just isn't ever getting fixed. Yeah, sorry if I can't get excited about FM8. Really, the only Forza I'd be excited for now is if they did a dedicated Rally game. Forza Rallisport. Bring back the Rallisport Challenge series with it. Include all the same cars and add some more R-GT cars like the 124 Spider and 911 R-GT...It'd be a blast. They could include Baja courses and cars and all sorts of things. They'd compete with the Dirt series pretty well, really.
