Forza 5 GOTY announced. IGN says 18 tracks. [WIR: 17]

We all know that Forza 5 only has 16 tracks at the moment including Test Track and Top Gear. So IGN just said the GOTY edition has 18 different tracks. Did they just let the cat out of the bag about Monza and Pac Raceways?

The article actually says: “In addition to Forza 5’s original content, this edition features 18 next-generation tracks and the Top Gear car pack with 10 downloadable vehicles.”

In addition to the original content, the edition features 18 next-generation tracks.
Is this just bad wording or are there 18 more tracks to come?
Or do I just misunderstand that sentence?

Yeah I noticed that too. I think it’s just bad wording. 18 additional tracks would be a big ask for even Forza 6.

Well it does say “In addition to Forza 5’s original content, this edition features 18 next-generation tracks and the Top Gear car pack with 10 downloadable vehicles. Forza Motorsport 5: Racing Game of the Year will be available for $60/ £50/€70”

That does read like they are adding 18 new tracks that weren’t included as original content… We have only received 2 DLC tracks so far…Hard to know

Well either way you look at it that’s at least 2 new tracks by July 22nd so a track pack for June and another for July perhaps?

I highly doubt it includes 18 new tracks. That would be a big task to ask from even Turn 10. I see it as two new tracks.

So they say 18 next gen, plus the top gear and test track wich are also next gen, so thats a total of 20.

so if there’s 12 now, and it says in addition the top gear and test track (makes 14) then that means 6 new tracks coming up. Unless i’ve now also read it wrong lol

There are sixteen tracks as of now including the Test Track and Top Gear track:

Alps
Circuit de Catalunya
Spa
Indy
Le Mans
Long Beach
Laguna Seca
Bathurst
Prague
Road America
Road Atlanta
Sebring
Silverstone
Yas

It’s hard to say. The wording they used could have multiple outcomes of the exact number of tracks. I’d just go with 2-18 new tracks. They could have gave in to the complaints and release all the finished tracks for Forza 6 but I see 18 being a bit much. They could have even worded it wrong to where it meant 16 tracks so then there wouldn’t be new ones

Realistically it’s probably two more tracks.
Considering two more car packs are announced for the Car Pass, it would fit.
18 new tracks seems to be atronomically high for a game that’s out for a good amount of time.

Good to know I’m not the only one being confused :smiley:
Maybe a mod can get some clarification on this?

IF they actually let something slip it CANT be more than 2 new tracks. Especially since there have been links of those two laser scanned tracks. But it could just as easily be a misprint on the description and we might not see any tracks!

I think they messed up on that tweet as well. There are only 16 total tracks at the moment, not 17.

They just tweeted ‘18 in total’ so only 2 new ones

Now they said only 1 unannounced track

Any chance for us to get those 2 new tracks for free?

Regarding the 18 tracks in the #Forza GOTY edition. That’s the 15 tracks at launch + Road America + Long Beach + 1 unannounced track.

Just on Twitter from Turn 10

Could someone tell me where they are getting 15 tracks from? Where is this elusive track at?

maybe:
- Bernese Alps
- Bathurst
- Catalunya
- Indianapolis
- Mazda Laguna Seca
- Le Mans
- Prague
- Road Atlanta
- Sebring
- Silverstone
- Spa-Francorchamps
- TopGear
- Yas Marina Circuit*
- *- Test Track Airfield Circuit (launch content update)**
- - Test Track Airfield Drag (Drag and tag content update)***
- - Road America*
- - Long Beach*
- - new*

_- *So they are counting test track twice as a launch track?
