Overall surprisingly good update.
Better selection of Mustangs than expected. Not a Mustang guy at all, but it's great to have the '95 Cobra back as it fits in nicely with Forza's decent selection of mid '90s cars, assuming they keep the body stuff from FH5 the '24 GT and Dark Horse could provide some interesting options for builds, and the '67 GT500 is decent.
The Trans Am Mustang is a surprise and the most fun to drive of the lot of them, but sadly it kinda highlights a long-running problem with T10 both with which cars they select and how they introduce them to the game... There's just not anything to do with it. It has no rivals in the game to race against, and as a FOMO car it can't be used for a Featured Multiplayer Spec series, and realistically can't be used for private multiplayer either as not everyone will have it and there is no non-FOMO alternative. Kinda the the same deal with the GT500 Nissan from 2 updates ago.
I know most people first think of the Sunoco '69 Camaros, but since we got the '70 Mustang I'd rather have the Chaparral Camaro to keep things 1970... And because Chaparral is underappreciated and awesome.
Sunset Peninsula is fun. It's weird since I haven't driven it in so long, but it immediately felt strange and I couldn't figure out why until I realized it was all of the missing grand stands, for a moment it was kinda like watching someone play iRacing with the pit buildings/grand stands turned off for performance. The kerbs are still a little dangerous in a few spots but it kept its kinda street circuit feel. The Club variant kinda sucks though, I couldn't remember it very well and now I see why, no reason to run the inferior Club version when the regular layout is so good. Not great in reverse either really I think, hopefully the standard "Full Circuit" will be what is primarily in hopper rotation.
Sound improvements are good to see, and the C7R definitely sounds more like an angry race car now. Hopefully the Sauber is up next on the list.
It will be really interesting to see what the next update is like. Obviously no track, but if updates start bringing more cars like this then the game will feel a bit more lively as we will have more to play with between updates. Hopefully this isn't just a one-off.
Still no manual grid ordering in lobbies though...
