Drag racing in private lobby?

Turn 10, in my opinion has no direction anymore. No real understanding of car culture, what people can actually do to and with cars these days. It’s seems filled with programmers that may “like” cars, maybe have seen a race or two. Not folks that have a passion for motorsport, which includes drag racing. Which is one of the fastest growing motorsports there is over the last few years. Along with drifting.

Again, my opinion, but even as a business/developer standpoint, why in the world would you not try to capitalize on the popularity of the No Prep, Street Outlaw (they DO run at actual tracks sometimes) and fix or add at least some of the things that have been brought up since the 1st couple games. It doesn’t make sense to me.

Alan Hartman and his crew need to go to some local, small tracks and watch some test and tune nights, or check out the weekend racers. Then work their way up to watching, in person, some professional racing. Talk to folks that are actually part of it all. Going to track days and getting to drive exotics around because you’re wealthy doesn’t make you a car guy or car people. There’s a huge difference. To me, the direction this series has gone is showing that.

Racing suits and loot crates are great for the “gamer”, just like Call of Duty. Those of us that ARE car people, well at least me, would much more appreciate actual improvements to the core game, fixing the debacle that was drag in 6, or whatever you want to call drag in 7.

Things I would have rather seen than racing suits, an actual drag upgrade path (Drag chassis, drag trans, drag suspension, PROPER wheel options, an actual tree or at least a countdown that you can get to your rpm before the half second mark. I could keep going, hopefully I got my point across.

If anybody has the means and knowledge about making a game, if love to help make a proper drag racing game. I had big hopes that after 6 games of drag racing being an afterthought that this time it would at least be functional. So much for that.

To reiterate, this is all just the opinion of a disappointed Forza fan and drag racing fan. So much potential completely wasted! Sad.

Exactly this!!! i have tried to post on multiple threads regarding the introduction of “real” drag racing. Top fuels, big drag slicks like on the top fuels,funny cars, pro mods ,pro stock and even top fuel drag bikes and even a christmas tree. hell it cant be that hard to put some more effort into a strip that is a maximum of 1 mile long ffs…they have no excuses as with the strip being small they would have more time to work on the finer details like drag vehicles mentioned above and even adding this in depth drag racing ability to all cars to use (top fuel engine conversions,big ass drag slicks etc)

Us drag guys fans want real drag!!! if Turn10 brought everything i mentioned above about the in depth drag racing as a DLC pack for about £30 i would straight up pay for it and im sure alot of other drag fans would too!!!

Edit: i forgot to mention real staging and tyre warm up also

This is why year by year I’m getting sick of this game. Not only do they remove the most used and simple features, they don’t even bother to correct them.

I hope this is a mistake from their side. When you go to private race and click right stick on custom to see more information, it lists all the game modes you can choose including drag and tag, so that is why it could be a mistake from their part. Still a very stupid one and one you wouldn’t expect from a company like this, but a mistake nonetheless.

Dan Greenewalt should actually listen to the community. He hasn’t done so since Forza 4. The ‘new’ drag tracks have absolutely no grip like the airfield test track, just like in Forza 6. Could it be since it’s modelled as part of the normal racing track and they couldn’t be bothered to re-work it with extra grip? Just screams laziness in my opinion.

Not to mention you can build some 700hp FWD Hondas with only 225 drag slicks, how can you ever find grip with those!
