DRIFT ZONE EVENTS

Drift your way to the top of the leaderboard in style by achieving the highest drift score in a single lap. Drift Score is based on speed, angle, and duration of each drift and must be successfully “banked” to count. Too much rotation, leaving the track, or collisions can interrupt a Drift Score. Rewind will invalidate or “dirty” a Drift Score. With Update 21, we’ve added 8 permanent Drift Rivals events.

https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/42589031132179-Forza-Motorsport-Hotfix-21-2-Release-Notes-June-30-2025

  • The Multi-Class Series is now permanently available in the Semi-Open Events.
  • We’ve replaced rotating playlists within the Multi-Class Series with a static ABCS playlist.
  • Other multi-class events have been removed from the Semi-Open Events rotation, such as the 20th Anniversary Series, Porsche Multi-Class Series, BMW Challenge, and so on.
    • Developer’s Note: With Update 21, we experimented with a unique rotation of multi-class racing and special events. Since then, we’ve been reading your feedback and closely monitoring player concurrency in these events. Based on a combination of both factors, we’ve made the ABCS Multi-Class Series an evergreen series in Featured Multiplayer Open Events.

Is Multiclass ganna come back in the future?
I like meetups cuz everybody can drive whatever car they want. But its mostly a cruise server.
I’ve been wanting to race in a place with large variety. Multiclass was the closest thing to it (outside of Freeplay).
In the open servers, everybody races with maxed out P.I. cars, and I’m not looking for hard competitive races.

No more weekly challenges and discounted cars?

4 CYLINDER SERIES FTW

Thanks T10; this is exactly the kinda thing I was hoping for. I’ve had some really close races in this hopper.

Please consider keeping this ‘in rotation’.

According to the multiplayer set rotation list in the last update article, it will appear in a nine week rotation.

There’s no thread up for this week yet so I’ll ask in here.

In Featured Multiplayer > Semi-Open Events > Cycled Production Series, do we know what time of day the series should rotate over?

As of 14.00 UTC on July 3 it’s currently Modern Sport GT, but by my calculations Early Sport Compact should be today. Maybe it’s switching over in a few hours?

My assumption would be that everything across Featured Multiplayer ticks over at midnight, but maybe that’s not the case.

Currently seems to rotate at 15.30 UTC.

@Snooty was telling me that the rotation offsets by 5 minutes every day, so maybe tomorrow will be 15.35 etc.

This is actually the worst week of hoppers I’ve seen since launch.
