Was I imagining the Hummer in FM4 then? What about the other 4x4’s?

Maybe a nice addition would be a quarter mile ;0) tune/mod your cars to the max and pit your them against other racers, and include some proper drag cars to boot. If you’re gonna have a drag strip, why not? Obviously it would have to be class based though, none of this homologation stuff. You have an S Class fiat 500? Cool, let’s see how well it goes…

I don’t want an expansion they are always gimmicky. Just give me new tracks for free like in Forza 5 and supplemental car packs to go along with them for money. Monte Carlo Grand Prix track, New York Long from FM2, Motegi, Tsukuba, Talladega, Imola, etc.
I think they will have gotten enough of my money after a car pack or two.

Time Attack cars, Rallycross, BTCC cars, old DTM cars, Super Touring Cars etc.
Bring back Tsukuba, Motegi, even tracks like Willow Springs, Donnington, Magny-Cours, Zolder, Knockhill, Rockingham, Castle Combe, Snetterton, the list of possible tracks goes on…
So many potentials, so many won’t ever happen.

I think one expansion needs to be “off road” or “jump” themed otherwise all the trucks and off road vehicles we have in the game will just go to waste.
So after there is some sort of “off road” or “jump” expansion, I’d personally like an expansion that encorparates the horizon blueprint to make championships or in this case, race weekends along with a practice session and qualifying.

The off-road/rally is looking realistic but I’d like to see a Rising Sun Japan pack with Twin-Ring, Tsukuba, and maybe Fujimi.
Unfortunately Turn 10 has stated many times that Fujimi is not coming back. I believe it’s to do with the lighting and the trees, but oh do I miss Twin Ring Motegi and Tsukuba. I’d give anything for those two or even one of the two to return in an expansion. I miss Fujimi too but I don’t see it ever coming back at least not in Forza 7. I hope I’m wrong.

Can’t T10 just use the fake cardboard cutout trees like they do on every other track in FM7?
The only trees that aren’t 2D fakes are the palm trees in Rio and Dubai. In a 2017 game.

Fujimi would be kind of neat to have back, I don’t understand the lighting/trees issue but I’d be curious to read more about it.
Motegi was never a favorite but I loved Tsukuba, it was my test track for the longest time.
Fujimi was a great track for driving alone but it was not made for racing. Way too narrow and not enough places to cleanly pass.
If I had my choice for an expansion I’d make…
Forza Championship Manager. A full control suite of options allowing you to build and customize your own race series from the races, tracks, and other basics to AI names, relative skill, livery, and cars. You can set weather for all races and the point system for race placement and championship points. The expansion would also come with several new real life tracks.
*It would also include options and support for player run multiplayer leagues and race weekends/endurance races.

I don’t see us getting anything dirt/off-road. That’s cutting into Horizon, just like adding race tracks to Horizon would cut into Motorsport.
I don’t want any more NASCAR tracks. We’ve got enough ovals already, and while ovals are popular with NASCAR fans they’re not popular globally and aren’t popular in gaming. Rovals are terrible and don’t count as a road course because they’re so terrible. We’ve already got Watkins Glen and Sonoma, which are the only good tracks we can get from NASCAR.
What I’d like to see is a track editor, particularly if done better than Gran Turismo 6. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would add unlimited replay value to the game. Especially if we could share our tracks, you could race on ten unique tracks a day and never run out of new circuits that you’ve never ran before. With Forza having been a community for sharing vinyls, liveries, tuning setups, photos, and videos, as well as the leaderboards and auction house, and clubs of old, it only makes sense for players to also create and share race tracks.

So why are all these Horizon type vehicles in a Motorsport game then? Is that not also cutting into Horizon?
I’d agree for the purely oval ones, but the ones with infield tracks too are nice to have.
I can’t see that happening. It’d cut into revenue from any track DLC they make. It’d also increase the longevity of the game past the 2 year span for the next game. Less reason to buy the new one = less revenue.
As much as I’d like to see this, it’s all about the money these days unfortunately.

How are these “Horizon” type vehicles? Off-roaders race on tarmac and can be tuned to dominate races too, and how would having dirt tracks in Motorsport “cut into Horizon”?
I thought that from the first Forza Horizon game onwards, the only difference between Motorsport and Horizon was that Horizon was a game focused on free-roam, do as you please/showing off antics, while Motorsport is about closed circuit racing on specialty tracks and having the smallest attention to detail when tuning cars for optimal cornering speeds and blistering lap times.
I don’t understand why people are affiliating off-roading exclusively to Horizon, when you see tonnes of race events these days happening off road (rally, stadium trucks, Dakar, etc). Maybe it’s because the Forza franchise only has ever had off-roading events in Horizon, but that doesn’t mean off-roading is cutting into Motorsport or anywhere.
Because as of now, not a single one of those events are represented in Forza (racing what T10 passes off as “trophy trucks” on the standard Long Beach circut doesn’t really count).
I imagine a lot of people would welcome non-tarmac tracks and events. But for the time being, the offroad trucks and buggies might as well be wasted garage space.

One could argue they are there to be utilized later in a rally expansion (still putting my money on this).
You lot do realise that you are like a pack of dogs on death row barking there heads off to no effect decision has been made no appeals or backsliding you will get what they at Turn 10 have all ready decided on and started work on.
I’d say rallycross. It’s pretty new to the FIA and ties in a bit with the Hoonigan pack as Ken Block races in it (though Hoonigan are pulling out next year Ken block races for someone else).
The races are short, punchy and drifty with first corner contact being part of the sport and a little bit of strategy thrown in with the joker laps. It would be a good match for Forza.
I don’t think they’ll go for pure rally because it’s just time trials and they want people racing against each other.

In regard to IceMan’s reply if the went the route of not cutting into Horizon then they would have left the offroad Horizon vehicles out of FM7 where without dirt tracks they don’t belong. The key difference is that FM style of racing unless you are not very good the cars are all heading in the same direction. I will leave the offroad cars in the garage because they are not so exciting to race and it won’t leave holes in the collection but if T-10 were to add a Dirt Pack Extension Pack of for example a Speedway, Hill Climb, Rally and Dirt Circut I would welcome it and expect to pay the same as the extensions for the Horizon series. it would be a nice little earner for them too. As it stands currently the vehicles are about as useful as b**bs on a bull.
