Awesome setup you got man.
Wooo they put a Matra Simca in the game. It sounds good too. This gives me hope for the future of gaming. Whoever is bringing content like this into sim based games is going to have a job once T10 goes under lol. The 77 Renault is a welcome addition too. Good job car nerd guy. Will play this update.

Private MP drivatars? Still not a thing? Well, it is in just about every other racing game. Great job! I care more about this feature than any track turn 10 could add at this point.
Thereās is no mention of what is in or isnāt on the May update. Why make stuff up?
āUpdate 7 will be live in the game for 5 weeks before Update 8 is released in mid-May. Update 8 will not include a track ā our next track release is scheduled for Update 9, expected to be available in June.ā

Literally zero changes to career modeā¦
They couldnāt even be bothered to add another event for the longer than usual update period

Ah man that sucks. I just read the release notes and watched the VLOG. Apologies
Theyāve some good new cars. The Simca, Ligier and the Renault F1 car are cars I personally like anyway.
I think releasing these tracks so slowly and sometimes not at all in an update is such a HUGE, HUGE drag on this title though. I donāt mind them drip feeding us with cars and that kind of thing but doing that with tracks is just a bad idea. This game shouldāve been bursting with circuits at launch.

Some more thoughts after reading blog post and release notes:
- Finally some events for race cars in singleplayer!
- Iām disappointed that after this prolonged, 5-week series weāre getting no new (or rather another recycled?) track in May. I hope June brings something big then, no less than Bathurst in size
- Finally an Open Tour with E-class cars, this should be fun. I was hoping T10 will put Indy layout to good use and they didnāt disappoint
- Still no free camera movement on upgrades screen or ForzaVista? Thatās another disappointment and a big QoL flaw.
- āReduced Video Memory usage when the āCar livery qualityā setting is set to Medium, High, or Ultraā - I hope it improves framerate as much as it sounds.
- Changes to proximity arrows probably wonāt stop anyone from requesting the radar but I appreciate T10 is doing something in that direction.
- āWeāve introduced a popup warning the player when they are about to sell a reward car that they may not be able to reacquireā - does it mean we can finally sell duplicate reward cars?
- ā2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS: Fixed a bug where the car was loading the incorrect audio filesā - looking forward to hear it!
- Other fixes are appreciated too, especially in terms of AI and FRR.
- And last but not least: now that Car Pass is complete I wonder what happened to McMurtry Speirlingā¦

Too slow on track releases.
Not to mention, when are we getting the Alt layouts of the tracks we already do have???
Drip feed is exhausting. Just pls give us the copy/pasta versions youāre doing without the needless car level up fiasco.

Didnāt spotlight cars used to be new cars added to the game?

There are some topics in Track Voting - FM with Track - More layouts, you can vote on those or request a new topic in track submissions

Interesting update. Feel kinda robbed with the Car Pass. Never buying that again, should have just stuck with the vanilla version. $40 extra for cars I will hardly ever drive, and the desirable road cars are locked behind FOMO.
We should be getting a lot more road cars, newer ones especially but only if T10 is willing to do the sound justice, otherwise itās just not worth it. More than half a carās personality is in the sound.

Could someone translate this to Mouthbreathian?
" * Gamma changes have been made to address banding in dark base color values. [1728611]"
What am I to be expecting with this alteration, hetherofore?

Why vote T10 have already proved they donāt listen.

The best we can do is vote on these things. If it gets a good vote count it shows the community is interested in it.
Not voting will only lessens the chances it gets picked up.

Thatās just itā¦.donāt think thereās much of a team left.
I think Microsoft is completely losing interest in this franchise. It just looks more and more of a desperate attempt at gaining every game pass monthly payment possible, and then abandoning it (probably by the end of summer, IMO).
The competition on PC is miles ahead of them and I donāt think they have the resources to keep up.
This game feels like an afterthought more and more each update/month. If they canāt even be bothered to add game modes (which already have in-game upgrades) and add new spotlight cars, then you know EOL is coming to mind.

Another terrible update not addressing the big issues.
AI got same tweak 2 months in a row.
Nothing for FRR, Skill System, Safety System, longer racers, etc.
This is ridiculous.
