Do you are in PC or Xbox?

After this update there are couple of new brands mentioned as a text strings only, here are the clues :
1. A quite famous F1 team, strangely not the one that is expected
2. A car brand that is associated with a former F1 driver, this brand are making "modern take of a classic car"
3. Both brands name start with the same letter

Hmmmm,since its about F1 it mean either we got Monza back or we might get a new track like Redbull Ring for the next year ???
The hints can be whatever and i dont have much knowledge when it come about F1 lore.

Enjoying the NASCAR spec series quite a bit. That being said, if there's one thing I've noticed about the NASCAR races, is that it becomes very obvious very quickly which players don't have the proximity radar on while racing.

Since it's not expected, it is probably not Alpine.

My first guess would be Mercedes and McMurtry

Here's a quick replay vid of the Mustang reward car race in the Saleen S302, for those who haven't unlocked it yet:


Also, the AI is a bit iffy still on Sunset Peninsula:

Williams and Westfield?

Is it just me, or is the AI really dirty? Like even more after the latest update

Radford is a good shout but :

Ligier and Lister?

Former F1 driver Stirling Moss and "modern classic car" the Lister Knobbly?

Edit to say that I didn't remember that Ligier already appears with the LMP3.

The AI is a mixed bag even after roughly 7 updates to them. Most times I have great racing against them but the brake checking has yet again reared its ugly ass head. I don't understand why T10 cannot squash these AI bugs one by one permanently. They correct one thing only for an older issue to pop back up.

This should help...

 

[AudiMan2011]

NASCAR races on the ovals have been hella fun. The opening laps of my races have been really chaotic since people have negative spatial awareness but I've had some pretty good fights with people once everything settles down.

 

[Jezza819]

This is what has been driving me crazy since the last couple of updates.

Level 5, Daytona Road Course. PI set to match mine

How is the lead car, 12 points lower PI number, going that much faster than me? 1.1 seconds fastest lap? This was an 8 lap race and I paused it on lap 7 for this screenshot. At the time P1 had nearly a 10 second lead on me. Again, I think they have made AI stronger. What used to be 5 is now 6, 6 is now 7, etc.

Took your advice and now my Series X won’t power on. Thanks a lot.

Stuff like this makes me hope that they rebalance the AI which they have already rebalanced a few GT and prototype cars but for online play only.

It seem like it's effected free play more than career. You're not getting pushed from behind because it's only you and the one AI car that seems to be on pace. Look how much slower the other cars are. On career I'm still at 5 like I have been from the start and the races are competitive. Some I win, some I lose which is what I like. But free play isn't like that anymore.

Agreed, I've really enjoyed the races, especially if you find a drafting partner. I've had some cracking races chasing people down and running side by side for a few laps.

I did have some plonker at Sunset Peninsula in turn 1 think it was a good idea to cut across my nose when I was already against the wall, but thankfully I didn't get a penalty. I saw him later on in the race (lap 19) manage to take out two other drivers.

I think on the next update the radar needs to be on by default and has to be switched off - that would help a lot of turn 1/lap 1 incidents.

The PI system is inherently flawed, and the lead car with the right build is one of the fastest cars in A.

But was it always like this?

 

[PJTierney]

But was it always like this?

The PI system has always favoured certain cars and builds over others. Stick a Honda engine in a car and it’ll do better than other engines at the same PI, been that way since Forza Motorsport 2.

The AI has its own set of issues but that’s a separate topic (and I exclusively do multiplayer so never race them anyway).

 

[sirjim73]

@Milouse Someone is using the "Zimbabwe method" and keeps knocking 3 zeros off car prices . The new Ford Nascar was showing at the bargain price of 326CR which I've now corrected. I always spot these as I sort my cars by "Missing" and "Price" by default.

Also, is there any way I could get permission to add basic information on cars on the site, by that I mean the figures you see when buying a car I.e. Speed/Braking/Handling/Acceleration numbers and Power/Weight numbers? As i would like to help with these.

I've no idea how the 0-60 etc gets calculated but am happy to chip in and help where I can 👍 (cutback73)

Wow loading time on Series X take so long now.

The third picture looks like a Stadium truck, could we be getting these later?

It's the Phenall "The Cholla" from Forza Horizon.

 

[RolexGTP]

I was going to say that picture screams Forza Horizon, I see nothing FM in it.

Per the other replies, I spotted that when compiling the article on this glitch and to me it looked like the Penhall from FH5 snapped at what I thought was the Hot Wheels Nexus (although it could be another location too; there's a hint of the Horizon Festival site in the background).

 

[fuchs171]

It's been a while since I've felt like doing a design, maybe I'll do it for the other 2

 

[Nacho Libre]

Wow loading time on Series X take so long now.

Its 35 seconds from launching the game to the home screen. And about 20 seconds to start a race in the open tour, skipping everything, how long it takes for you?
