I have absolutely no qualms about that. I too want Turn 10 to make the game a little more serious. But, I am often reminded that we can't leave Little Timmy behind. :(
 
I was patiently awaiting the Formula 90’s series until one of the cars came up on levelling. Finally, the Ferrari appeared. Inevitably the net level up car was the McLaren! That left the only specific type series the Ultima 1020 one. Amazingly the Ultima appeared while I was doing the Formula 90s series. When I have completed the Ultima series, I have the two any car series in the Master event to complete all of the Driver’s Cup.
 
Hopefully this update fixes the Land Rover Series III. The front wheels don't steer at all, and the right-rear wheel clips through the ground under hard cornering.

In a world where every car game with a "believeable" handling model is austere and takes itself very seriously, it's a breath of fresh air to be able to drive a limo in anger.

I'm sure some brave soul has made an Assetto Corsa mod for the XTS. :P

Patch Notes:

December 5, 2017

Today’s update for Forza Motorsport 7 includes numerous improvements to the game on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. This update also introduces Leagues to the game. For more on Leagues, see our description in last Friday’s edition of the Week in Review. We’ve also added new features including the ability for players to dramatically increase race length (up to 1,000 laps for a circuit race and up to 24 hours for a timed race) in any race, including Forza Driver’s Cup events, Free Play, and Private Multiplayer races.

- Updated messaging for Super Easy mode. Note that events run with Super Easy assists will require steering input in order to earn XP and credits at the end of the race.

This stops people using rubber-band tricks to grind out XP and CR in oval races.

- Removed lap count information in “Vote For Next Track” screen.
Click to expand...
Curious as to the reasons for this, as lap counts can help predict race length, and Multiplayer race lengths are inconsistent.


- Fixed an issue where team icons on the mini-map were all the same color in Free Play.

Hopefully this also applies to Multiclass races, both on and offline.


- Fixed an issue where Drivatars in the 2017 Renault R.S.17 car would consistently leave the track on Maple Valley.

This was the worst track for Drivatars for this exact reason.


- Fixed an issue at Lime Rock where vehicles with low chin spoilers could collide with the ground and cause spins).

This was most obvious in the BMW M3 Forza Edition.
 
Apparently this is in the collection menu

Earlier on I got a nice surprise when taking part in my first MP race via Leagues. And that surprise was seeing @PJTierney in my lobby. 👍 Unfortunately having a slight headache meant I couldn’t finish one place below him or one place above him. :boggled:

Still it was good fun racing against him. Plus it looked like we were going to have a second race against each other. That was until the game crashed for both of us at different times. 👎
 
Can anybody without the Car Pass confirm the RSR's availability in the rental car section?

Trying to figure out if it's tied to the pack, or the update.

Nice to see you too :)

I don’t like ghost Lobbies as I don’t consider it “real racing” but right now it’s all we have and I need to get my Rank/Band up before the proper Lobbies Open in a few weeks.

I was in Pinnacle in the last game, need to get back up there :)

Oh great, turned it on at lunch, seemed stuck so I held down power button, but it was UPDATING and since I dont know how to recognize that yet on the screen, I turned it off

After turning back on it is now downloading this update at about 10% per HOUR and I have 100/10 speeds. It did say there was an issue on their end, something live, is THAT why it is so slow?

Is cancelling an update and restarting it ever result in it going faster? I have to find those settings so that it updates by itself without taking up a whole day when i want to play.
 
Speaking of the RSR, is it classed properly as a Forza GT? Might be time to retire my MP4-12C I use for the online lobbies if that's the case.
