They never said which fan(s). The way it was worded, it could be Turn 10 Studios intern’s favourite track.
I hope it’s Fujimi Kaido. It feels like it’s the most missed track since we last saw it in FM4.
I wouldn’t get disappointed if it was Sonoma, COTA, or Long Beach either. Or Camino Viejo de Montserrat as a surprise return track.
I definitely don’t consider Bernese Alps, Prague, Rio, or Dubai fan favourites. They’re just filler tracks in my opinion.
Where do you have that from? 
I hope not but that’s what I’m thinking because it’s so often requested.
It’s in the fujimi kaido thread from track voting. This was shared by one of the developers in the youtube.
I can understand trolling each other in good faith about motorsport preferences (e.g. “NASCAR is not real motorsport” to trigger Americans 
) but putting people down for these preferences is not cool. Japan has a rich car culture and you don’t have to watch anime to know that. Even if we take the Japan part out of the conversation, Fujimi could still be a fun hillclimb route, which many people asked for on these forums. I’ll admit. I never played FM4 - only watched this track on Youtube, but I’ve experienced such routes in other games and they were lots of fun. It’s good for drift, it’s good for time attack, it’s good for cruising. When it comes to racing, people said the same about Nordschleife, that it will be a chaos in multiplayer. But most of the time it’s crazy fun, especially now that the people who crashed are being ghosted. Idk man, sometimes it’s okay to just be happy for others like I was when NASCAR update dropped. I wonder, what track would you prefer instead of FK?
That’s a response from a frontline environment tester a few months ago, but he had left the team even longer ago. Probably not super relevant to what might be happening now.
Another reason the believe it’s the Fujimi-Kaido: this track currently has 1766 votes in the Suggestions Hub, while the next Forza-specific track is New York with only 500 votes. I couldn’t imagine announcing a “fan-favorite” track like this four months before the release
There is also the Tsukuba with 844 votes along the way but it’s a very small track, I don’t think it’d need 4 months to prepare. And none of these two fit the 20th anniversary
Can we quit the really slow drip feed of old content cars? There are lots of cars in horizon that could be ported across now whilst people are still playing.
I honestly think the drip feed of old content has hampered this game a lot.
I get it for new content but this game should have started with the cars that were in the last game as a minimum! I know there is the built from the ground up argument but when the models carry glitches that were in previous games it feels like that just isn’t true.

What a joke. This game is done. Not that it ever got off the ground. Same drip feed of “content” and not addressing the core fundamental problems.
Pathetic excuse for “community engagement”
This article was…shorter than I was expecting? I reloaded the page on my phone because I thought it hadn’t loaded the whole thing. It just kind of ended abruptly.
The vague wording on everything here is also a little concerning. What defines new content? Are we not getting a new track until May? To tease that it is a “fan favourite” track returning in May and have it not be Fujimi Kaido will demonstrate an incredible lack of self awareness. So here’s hoping that doesn’t happen.
I truly hope a career mode revamp is considered “new content” because as it stands right now, the FOMO single player aspect of the game is the lowest point the franchise has seen.
Fingers crossed, I guess.
That’s a long, long, long list, and it has nothing to do with being American. Tsukaba? Twin Ring Motegi? Fuji? Those are three of them. How about some actual, proper historical layouts - I’d love to run Monza with the oval. Hockenheimring before it got all Tilke’d up. Classic Spa. Le Mans before the Dunlop curves were added. The Rockingham and Eurospeedway Lausitz ovals. Surfer’s Paradise. Willow Springs. Texas World Speedway. The Pikes Peak hillclimb. Again, the list could go on and on.
But no, let’s bring back the Japanese mountain road that doesn’t even exist so that people can overmod RX-7s and pretend they’re Han from Tokyo Drift.
Sweet.
I’d love to have Brooklands in that historical update.
So nothing about permanent events or undoing the FOMO garbage. Well, I meant what I said months ago: I’m not coming back to the game until that is addressed. I’ve got better things to do with life than deal with anxiety induced by a video game. I’ll just keep playing Motorsport 4, a game with an actual career mode.
This ain’t a lot to go by for the whole of 2025 and very vague as well. At least we have some kind of projection for the next few months on what’s to come. One of my friends should definatly be interested in the Porsche update!
What’s worrying me right now is how open ended this article sounded in terms of the months August through December. While i absolutly understand the frustration and lack of hope from 95% of the playerbase, i for one still want to see Motorsport be supported beyond 2025. Yes, there’s still a lot missing and problems to resolve (some very well might never be fixed) but that’s not stopping my enjoyment from playing the odd online race or livery creating (still to start on one but the M4 GT3 probably is gonna get me going). I too get frustrated at times with the odd certified Forza Motorsport moment™️ but, again, a good race tends to fix that mindset.
Let’s just see what 2025 brings for Motorsport before we go the “it’s over” route.
For those that aren’t familiar with game dev, this essentially means that the next 4 months of content plans are locked. Turn 10’s next step is to actually make and release what they’re planning (and they’re not announcing all that stuff now because dates may slip further on some things).
If you’re looking for something to be added quickly (and it’s not already being worked on), don’t bother. Turn 10 isn’t going to flip its roadmap at pace due to some forum threads.
In other words, unless something is already in their roadmap, think long-term with requests and expectations.
That’s nice.
So what’s the roadmap? Right now, I can go to at least one competitor’s website and get information on what they have been working on and are working on for future releases. And this is for a game that’s not even out yet.
Forza? “Uh…we’re working on stuff. No, seriously, we are. And we can’t tell you anything about it. But stay tuned, because we’ll be sure to let you know in a month. Maybe.”
As far as road maps go, this doesn’t qualify. It’s not even engagement.
“Thanks for positive feedback. More unspecified content coming, vaguely”.
Just forces the endless speculation to continue as people try to read between the lines. And it very much does read like there won’t be any new tracks till May, which would be very disappointing.
I’m sure not gonna spend much time playing to be drip fed 2 new cars each month till then.
This community message has strong “Our resources are being redeployed” vibes.
The last year has felt like that. I just wish they would stop being so mealy-mouthed about it.
I don’t think that’s entirely true. The August update suggested that they had plans, as did putting in place the Insiders programme.
The silence since then, and failure to produce what was promised, followed by this, suggests to me that it’s a decision taken after that. It would be nice if they’d at least acknowledged the missed promises and apologised for that though.
