**An idea about improving permanent events by week **
I think that putting all series and events together in the same menu would be ideal for better accessibility/visibility as shown in the image.
About the events, they would be permanent except in weeks 2-4 the “Variable Series”.
NEW | Mazda MX-5 Cup: a new permanent event, was one of the most popular spotlights, a very fun car, should already be.
Formula Mazda: nothing, maybe in the future, be replaced by Formula E or a Modern Formula. Needs to rotate and not be permanent every week.
Touring Car: nothing, but adding a couple of cars like the Cupra Leon and BMW 330e M Sport, would be nice.
GT4: good, but boring for only being able to choose 3 cars, need 3 or 4 more.
GT series: I like GT2, is well balanced, but I think unifying GT2 and GT3 again would be the best, with a good bop, having more cars to choose from seems more fun to me. Please, no more Porsche 935 or similar in this category.
GTX series: one of the best series deserves to be permanent, but please, race tire compound.
NEW | IMSA Vintage Series: a new permanent event in weeks 1-3, as we have the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo and the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO.
Similar to this week’s endurance series but with a maximum of 12 players per car with 30 minutes duration. 12 players with the Audi and 12 with the Nissan.
Variable Series: the substitute IMSA event in the following week’s rotation, a different series each week 2-4. Perhaps the negative point is that it takes too long to repeat a particular series, but not that they have been very popular before.
Class Series: the ideal would be to put them all at the same time, but I think that would be dispersing the small number of players that already exists. Five classes per week seems to me to be enough to concentrate an acceptable amount of players.
**IMPORTANT ASPECT TO IMPROVE**
Penalties, that you get penalized for going off track a millimeter with 1-2 seconds is passable, but to be penalized because a player collides with you or for “avoidable collision” when you didn’t even have time to react, you lose the desire to continue playing.
Race frequency, increase the time between each race taking into account the duration of the series. The ideal is to finish an event and have enough time to participate in the next one, and not join a lobby with 3 minutes to start and only three players. Even if you have to wait longer, the necessary to fill the lobby.
Dynamic weather, it should return, start the race in dry and finish in wet or the other way around (and other weather variants), it gave more variety and uncertainty to the race.
Extreme slowness when searching and downloading tunes and designs. Searching through your downloaded tunes and designs is a suicide. Please fix it.
Limitation of tunes/designs you can save, maybe save them locally and manually upload them to the cloud, would be a option.
The kamikaze AI still needs work, very aggressive if you are in parallel and the brake checking is the worst.
· The storefronts as in Forza 3-4 must return (tunes / designs / driver suits, vinyls).
Exploring the user storefronts was entertaining and easy to know if someone you follow has
uploaded a new tune or design.
Not as much as before, but there are still some areas on curbs that cross the car as if you were pulling the handbrake.
Not important, but the sectors in practice or qualifying sometimes appear red when you do record or green when you do worst time. I also think that it would be better to put purple if you make record, green if you improve your personal time and red, if you lose time. Right now it’s confusing.
**SUGGESTIONS**
· Drift lobby
· The option of adding repairable damage to at least some series would be nice.
· Custom driver suits.
· Better/fix sound of some cars
· More information during the race, sectors with the colors described above, show who makes
fast lap record or show 8-10 drivers instead of 4 for example.
**SOME NOTES**
The ENDURANCE series , even though we asked for it, the endurance races unfortunately don’t quite work, 60 minutes is too long and more than half of the players drop out.
Putting more series per week than those in the photo I think is a mistake when trying to concentrate a certain amount of players. Gran turismo 7 has only 3 series, excluding the time trials, and more time between each race and it works well, with full lobbies.
Multi-class series (C,B,A,S) are a good idea, but I think people will stop playing it, too much difference between players of the same class added to the small number of players per group, makes it boring. Maybe limiting players per class and eliminating one-two of them would be ideal. For example, class C and A with 12 players per class.
Tracks: there has been a step back from Forza Motorsport 7, although right now the quantity and variety is good, I think it’s still a priority to bring these tracks back.
- Mount panorama Circuit
- Autodromo Nazionale Monza (maybe with the new first chicane)
- Sonoma Raceway
- Long Beach
- Circuit of the Americas
And we should not complain because they are recycled tracks, they are good tracks and even if we want new ones, we have to recognize that it takes a lot of time and work and it’s not easy.
But I think we would settle for Fujimi Kaido mixed with Hakone
