Forza Motorsport General Discussion Thread

[MagpieRacer]

Could be circuit Hakone, the new original one.

 

[Jezza819]

Ok, now I'm getting excited for this.

 

[AudiMan2011]

If we get the full IMSA GTP set of cars then that'll be a big positive.

 

[meganinja]

Also: The corvette has a number on it... might be a little teaser of what is coming

Can confirm it
It looks intresting, it means they want put more focus on the racing indeed, maybe is a system like iRacing where they put random numbers on the cars?

Any source for the original pics ?

Forza Motorsport Cover Cars

Meet the stunning 2023 No. 01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R and 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray.

Still hoping for a sponsor system that gives a higher pay out for including sponsor's logo on your car.

Unlikely (i think) logos will be on customization only

 

[warp9engage]

The document was posted on reddit before, but i can't find it anymore.
Some things that were in it included the following exclusive licences:

• to the WEC Name and Naming of the Events
• to the "24 hours of LeMans" names and Logos
• the ability to drive on track and car combinations that are featured in the WEC Series (in official and non-official events)
• Usage of the "Hypercar, LMP1, LMP2, LMP3, LMGTE AM, LMGTE Pro" names

Well, if that's the agreement, Turn 10 is already violating number 3. Here's a Corvette C8.R, which is a car that appears as a full season entry in this years WEC, racing at Spa, a track from this year's WEC, as well.

Also, it's probably a safe bet you'll be able to drive that yellow Cadillac V.Series at Spa. That's also a car model that's featured in this year's WEC, full time. Heck, the yellow Cadillac even crashed at the WEC race at Spa.

"But they don't have the WEC livery." That's not what the 3rd line says, it says combinations of cars and tracks that feature in the WEC, nothing about it being more specific. So yes, that screenshot above is a violation of line 3.

I did not say required but as an option for a higher pay out.

VIR returning to FM?

I think that this car isnt on other GT Classes in Spa beyond WEC?

 

[Northstar]

I'm guessing since Hypercar/LMDh/GTP are eligible for several series it will be similar to GT cars where they can include them just without series logos.

VIR returning to FM?

so it is

-Suzuka
-Spa
-Laguna Seca
-VIR
-Maple Valley
+10 Unknown Returning
+ New ones (5)
-Hakone (Fuji Speedway/Fujimi Kaido mix)
-Mid-Ohio
-Kyalami
-Paul Ricard?
-???????

--------------------
Bellow here is theories
-----------------------------

I think the last new track is Interlagos (most voted track on Forums BY FAR + like Laguna Seca has some classical layouts still scanable)

The other Returners are
1 - Daytona
2- Indianapolis (the Motorsport Games indy deal doesnt cover IMS)
3- Sebring (IMSA Owned, it would be as 12 hours of sebring)
4- Circuit of Americas
5- Watkins Glen (if sony doesnt have a exclusivity for being a track sponsor, but is also IMSA Owned)
6- Rio or New York
7- Sunset Peninsula (Permament Fantasy Track most voted on forums)
8- Nürburgring
9- Silverstone
10- Monza

 

[Beebo]

I'm starting to think if Fujimi was returning we'd see it by now, but hey maybe they'll surprise us come June. I just hope updates become more regular after the direct.

I think Fujimi will be post launch tbh. It's too big of a bullet point to not even be on the cover.

 

[Beebo]

I guess I'd forgotten that post-launch tracks are highly probable for this one, if they do bring Fujimi back I hope we also get Camino Vjejo De Montserrat. Here's your reminder to go vote for the tracks you want on the forums!

 

[GBalao888]

Really love the cover art, especially with the Cadillac V-Series.R being the first race car to be a cover car in a Motorsport game, and that the Motorsport word is larger than the Forza logo itself.

 

[nukleabomb]

Camino Vjejo De Montserrat

Give me all of it

Here's the link for it BTW:

Camino Viejo de Montserrat (Forza)

[Beebo]

Heh, I went to go vote for Camino and I found out I had already voted for it at some point, same with the others as well.

 

[Jezza819]

VIR returning to FM?

I hope so. I've put in a lot of miles on VIR in FM7. I really like it. But I only run the full length IMSA version.

6- Rio or New York
7- Sunset Peninsula (Permament Fantasy Track most voted on forums)
8- Nürburgring
9- Silverstone
10- Monza

I feel like New York has a good chance given Microsoft has an experience center in Fifth Avenue, and plus there was a McLaren Senna that was converted to a sim rig for FH5 there.

Right now, this is where we stand, based on educated guesses:

Spoiler: Tracks

1. Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
2. Circuit Hakone - NEW
3. Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit - NEW
4. Maple Valley Speedway
5. Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course - NEW
6. Nürburgring
7. Silverstone
8. Suzuka Circuit
9. Virginia International Raceway
10. WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

Spoiler Tracks

They already confirmed that will be 20 tracks, of those 5 are new and 15 are returning

 

[Beezer215]

Been using Camino Viejo De Montserrat a lot since it was brought into Assetto Corsa not too long ago and it is a great set of tracks to use. Would be really happy to have it in the upcoming Motorsport.

 

[meganinja]

I'm starting to think if Fujimi was returning we'd see it by now

if they do bring Fujimi back

It is likely that they had bring Hakone beacuse it fits Forza Motorsport idea more than Fujimi, i mind you both are on same region (around Mt Fuji) and Fuji Speedway is localized on a region also called Hakone

 

[Morbid65]

Could be circuit Hakone, the new original one.

Hopefully. Paul Ricard is lame.

I really like it. But I only run the full length IMSA version.

Man of refined taste.

I was kinda worried about VIR as it gets a lot of hate, but I think a lot of that hate is because of all the variants that constantly pop up in multiplayer hoppers that are much worse than the standard "full" circuit.

I enjoy VIR too, good challenge. I hope Camino returns in it's full form, great circuit.

Rio or New York

I'd rather have a full length New York street circuit than Rio De Janeiro but I'm not holding out much hope.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Forza Motorsport Cover Revealed, More Info to Come in June Showcase & Monthly Shows​

Turn 10 has revealed the cover for the upcoming Forza Motorsport reboot, with the first ever appearances for a racing prototype and for hybrid-electric cars on the front of a title in the 18-year history of the series...

 

[Jezza819]

I just feel more comfortable with a layout that I've been watching on tv for so many years. But I did go exploring around some of the variations just in a casual drive and not in race mode.

 

[TheOE]

Also Paul Ricard has 247 different configurations, from 0,8 km to 6 km length. I'm sure there will be many of them

 

[Nacho Libre]

I wouldn't mind more fictional (either new or legacy) tracks in later updates if they are as well designed as the FH4 Lego track.
