Feels like a cheap copout to finally shut up everyone who was moaning about it being MIA since FM4 tbh.

Don't be that guy, please. Most of us probably saw this coming from a mile away but a lot of people really wanted this myself included. Mind you I don't really care about drifting but for track variety purposes and seeing this classic beauty be brought back to life in 2025 form, im all for it. This will lift a lot of peoples spirits for this game when this drops that goes without saying though hopefully there's no weird glitches or bugs that get introduced and T10 also drops some great car/event content alongside it.

To the content it could be a number of cars coming with this one, I have a feeling this may be the one where we could finally surpass the usual 10-12 cars per update and maybe get upwards of 15-20. Right off the bat a few highly requested JDM's would fit, VW IDR for high climbing, along with a Mazda Furai which would be interesting considering there's none left in the world. But it would be a great call back to FM4 and a Fujimi kaido tie in for this game. Why not. I could also see a few race cars make their way in maybe we finally get more SuperGT cars from that era like the NSX, GTR, Supra.? As outliers I would hope we get the SLR McLaren back finally after a decade or so, the MC20 finally and Bugatti Bolide too, they would fit this theme to a degree.

Feels like a lot of gamers are finally getting a highly demanded track they asked for.

Kudos to Turn 10. I’m excited.

 

[AttackDickie]

Bring back Fujimi kaido!

We're adding Fujimi Kaido!

 

[TheAdmiester]

Furai would be a crazy reintroduction however unless Mazda finally completed the rebuild of the car (and this is how it gets announced), I don't think they'd put in the FM4 model into FM.

It was designed in the 2000s, there's a 110% chance Mazda used CAD and the 3D models still exist.

I tried to figure out where on the track this screenshot was taken:

It looks like it's from the newer and wider downhill section, that was introduced in FM3. Could it perhaps be the corner at 8:07 in this Youtube video? 🤔

 

[TheAnimeDude]

OMG!!!🤯🤯🤯

What surprise news to wake up to, but not complaining at all, this next update about to be so good! 🤗 I never experienced this track, so all the more excited.

 

[BRS Zeus]

So far. With the delay of a new track announced coming only for May, makes sense, that the track will come in Forzaversary Update will be Fujimi Kaido. Tracks like Fujimi, have a massive development to be optimized for an actual console, like 4 or 5 months. I see the future of the game shine with this update and the upcoming features of the new Creative Hub and returns of Career Tours. With May Update coming out, I expect Monza to be a track coming with the Update of July Month, with the Maserati MC20, Ferrari 499 P Modificata, Ferrari 296 GT3 and more italian cars.

I said it

 

[Confus]

I think this is what will bring me back to FM.

 

[sirjim73]

Very happy about this. Great news!

My only concern (sorry, but it needs to be said) is that it will get used a lot in the May Featured Tour and then hardly ever seen again (except in Free Play and maybe a permanent Drift event). When was the last time you drove the Nordschleife in the Featured Tour...?

 

[-Fred-]

I never really cared for Fujimi as I feel it's a terrible "track" to actually race on and it's too wide to be a proper touge road, but if it makes people happy, so be it.

 

[turk1993]

Finally i can't wait! I will take some great photo's on this track with its incredible locations and views. It will feel also very good on my wheel with the new physics with all those elevation changes and tight turns.

Also here is a higher quality version of the photo

 

[RolexGTP]

I'm also in the same boat of believing this track has a connection to Hakone. The distant mountain in the background of Hakone when going down the main straight looks way too similar to the mountain in this Fujimi Kaido shot. Am I wrong?

[RolexGTP]

It's the same mountain 😆 look closely at the shape of the peaks. So my guess is the pits for Fujimi will be on the Hakone side and this will make Fujimi full over 12 miles long. Sheesh

Yesterday lol. The Daily Racers showcase with the Toyota Yaris GR.

I would have loved to see returning tracks for EACH series within the tour which would be built around the series' cover cars. I know some if not all the cars are in the game in some form already, but I think that would be fitting for the anniversary. And I would have promoted the update with a video of the T10 team at a track day.

 

[ykiki]

Not gonna lie - I think the 20th Anniversary logo would look pretty good on a driver suit.

 

[Dopplegagger]

I am not going to hate on Fujimi. Lots of people love the track so, this is a win for the community. They've asked, voted, begged, doubted and filled a voting thread about the track. Its good that Turn 10 has finally listened and recreated the track.

Now, comes the wait until the 20th anniversary update, and the speculation about what else is coming with the update and, I wonder if the career events and award cars will finally make a permanent return?

 

[UKMikey]

Its good that Turn 10 has finally listened and recreated the track.

Pretty sure they've been working on it for more than five minutes.

 

[Dopplegagger]

Pretty sure they've been working on it for more than five minutes.

Pretty sure Fujimi Kaido was being asked for since FM5.

 

[UKMikey]

Pretty sure Fujimi Kaido was being asked for since FM5.

I think there was a lot more missing from FM5 than a drift track.

 

[skazz]

I see it more as somewhere to test out cars, not really for racing.

The community asked, voted, and begged for it, because you can technically say it was one of the core tracks of the franchise that fans loved before it was put in the backseat for a long time until now.

Fujimi not being in a FM is the equivalent of Trial Mountain not being in a GT game, it just doesn't feel right.

 

[udontknowm333]

Grid Legends (2022) has a Furai in it

it would be truly the best surprise if it was added to FM. Fingers crossed for sure. Would be an amazing way to celebrate the anniversary

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I honestly didn't expect Fujimi Kaido to come back. Not the track I asked for myself of course as I never liked driving on it, but I understand why some people wanted it. So, I'll just say I'm happy for the people that got the track they wanted.

Though I'm willing to try the track again, maybe at least to take pictures on it. Maybe I'll enjoy it more with FM2023's physics.

 

[AMR Matthijs]

Fujimi Kaido returning is a really good move. Not my personal favourite track (I would have preferred something like Interlagos or Monza to go with my preference for endurance racing), but clearly a community favourite and it shows that Turn10 listens.

And seeing this now actually does make me excited, it's more than 10 years since driving on this track and I'm sure it will look fantastic on the Series X And I think it would be really nice for some test driving and hill climbs

 

[AttackDickie]

I think there was a lot more missing from FM5 than a drift track.

And here I am thinking I can't wait to drive this on it...

 

[Bogie 19th]

[willbsn13]

Did not expect Fujimi to return to the Forza franchise in 2025

A good move from T10 IMO. Will have to redownload the game, looking forward to seeing how the track looks now after 14 years and 2 generations of consoles.

I feel like the content in this game now is incredibly solid with 650+ cars and 29 environments. Could always have more but it's in a good place right now.

It's the other stuff, lack of permanent career additions, lack of creator hub, free play options, private multiplayer options for league racing and all of the other issues many users here have already brought up.

So I hope that the anniversary update is not just Fujimi, some highly requested cars and limited time career events. That maybe they can address at least 1 other issue. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Also, if they don't have public meet up lobbies at Fujimi for this update, I'll be very shocked and disappointed. One of my favorite things to do in FM7, still not yet in FM2023. Makes perfect sense for this update.

 

[WHO1]

I'm definitely looking forward to not drifting on Fujimi - I'm hoping it's a wide track so racing against the AI is enjoyable.

 

[ClydeYellow]

Guess I'll need to learn how to properly drive the Matra before then. Fujimi is no Circuito delle Madonie, but it'll do.

(Yes, yes, y'all don't need to tell me Matra didn't do the Targa Florio )
