It really isn't important in the grand scheme of things, but I'm looking forward to finding out what each corner names in Maple Valley actually is.

 

[PJTierney]

New images have leaked, probably from QA.

They are not mine.

Looks like somebody did a bodge-job to mask their username watermarks. Lots of basic cloning going on.

These are the names my former sim racing league used:

What you think about the modern BMWs?

😎

 

[Nacho Libre]

74 Impala, that has to be the meanest car I have seen.

 

[SloGrumpyDad]

'74 LaGonda Series 1...reminds of a modern day Audi S7

[UKMikey]

It's a 1974 Hawke DL11 for added seventy-four-ness.

N-Vision 74

I am suprised those cars are on games yet, i wonder why Hyundai has not decided to put them in games yet, maybe beacuse of their hydorgen technology?

Oh, I hope they will pop somewhere, and don't worry about the fuel, they run on pixel power.

As someone who's never turned a single lap on Maple Valley...why "Syrup?"

Maple Syrup

The other fictional tracks got made-up corner names too.

this one reminds me that when the platform formerly known as Twitter finally bites the dust, I will deeply miss the Cars Shaped Like A Friend account.

Motortown Behind The Wheel had one of those N Vision 74s. Yea it's unlicensed and is on Steam but it's needed.

Can I suggest 73 Monte Carlo? Best looking design.

I dont know if is good or bad that between the Forza Monthly streams there not much info about the game, no new interviews or reviews or stuffs like that

I am still waiting to know what will be the last new track that will come at launch and even what ones will return....

 

[Beebo]

If I recall correctly, there's currently five tracks that are still unaccounted for; those being the "never before seen" tracks.

• Indianapolis Motor Speedway
• Laguna Seca Raceway

You can add Road America to the returning list. You can see it here:

It was discussed a few pages back and while I’m not worried there does seem to be a hell of a lot of info still to be released in just 2 forza monthly

Really hoping Bathurst is on of the few tracks still yet to be announced

 

[egl92]

Road Atlanta has been present in all Forza games.
So could be one of the returning tracks.

 

[skazz]

If you think about Forza's US track list, it would be unexpected for them to give up on them since they are a clear differentiator over EU and JP games.

FM7 had: Laguna Seca*, Indianapolis*, Daytona, VIR*, Sonoma, Sebring, Road America, Road Atlanta, Homestead, COTA, Lime Rock, Longbeach and Watkins Glen... 13 official US tracks of which only 3 are so far confirmed in FM2023.

FM2023 is adding Mid Ohio, probably at the cost of similar tracks like Road Atlanta or Sonoma. Eagle Rock speedway is clearly replacing Homestead (I understand the point of a shorter oval, but Eagle's Canyon Raceway would have been nice instead)

If I had to choose which ones to keep, I'd definitely bring Daytona back as another 24h race track for modern endurance cars like Le Mans or Spa. Then I'd seriously consider Sebring as a unique race track for their 12h endurance racing. Road Atlanta hosts Petit LeMans but I don't like the track all that much. I'd prefer Watkins Glen actually, but I suspect it would be Road America and maybe COTA.

If we're doing detective work, we can also look at the America LMS series for some inspiration:

2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship - Wikipedia

Trouble is, that basically looks like the FM7 US tracklist (minus COTA, Sonoma and Homestead):

nd.	Race	Length	Classes	Circuit	Location	Date

[MrCrynox]

It's a real shame that we are seemingly losing most of the American tracks, the only ones I think are meh are COTA, Sebring and IMS. I'm really looking forward to the new game, I really don't want to sound ungrateful but I honestly don't understand why we are losing any tracks, I would have thought that we would have got more not less.
