The echo/reverb around Rio is great. Especially in a thundering V8 like the AMG GTS.
Vid yo!

Just wanted to thank Turn 10 for the Rio track; it’s just so much fun and my favorite “fictional” track in the series. Splendid work, have a nice weekend

I agree. I’m not normally a huge fan of the fictional tracks (Prague wasn’t too appealing to me) but Rio is awesome. It’s a great challenge, it flows really nicely.
I’m still not a fan, it’s way too bumpy for high class cars yet they give it to us on the Ghost League rotation. There are some exposed walls that can stop you dead in your tracks and Forza’s penchant for tyre barriers have made some corners really tricky, or asinine, even more so when they’re hit and are littered across the track.
Only good T10 made track since Maple Valley. Bernese Alps and Prague were liked NASCAR tracks with left turns.
I’ll second that. Bernese Alps is OK for a quick blast in really fast cars (LMP, etc), or to play with friends who don’t normally play FM, but it quickly gets boring.
Not a fan of Prague either, although I visited it this summer and it was fantastic.
Haven’t done much running on Rio yet, but I like that it’s got both technical and fast sections, and finally some colours !
Have to agree. It’s a stunning track and I’ve spent the majority of my time so far on that track. The visuals are just great and it’s an ideal environment for endurance races. Just going around lap after lap enjoying the scenery.
It’s okay but I can’t stand the full version.
I have to agree, this is one of my favorite tracks. Hitting those bumps in a super car at high speeds using dash cam view is exhilarating!
I don’t like Rio at all, Maple Valley and NY is the best “fictional” tracks in the series IMO.

Rio is good, but those sticky out walls are a menace when you’re punted sideways by someone…
For fictional tracks you still can’t beat Kaido. I miss that track. We only have one long track in the game now with the 'ring, and one middling track with Le Mans. Plus Kaido was where i ran all my hill climb and soapbox derby competitions. Soapbox in Forza was the best way to spend a sunday afternoon.
I find it too bumpy. Car is like a kangaroo, can’t get any grip when tyres are in the air!
Try running it in reverse. It’s awful, it’s like someone made this course out of speed bumps. lol
Running higher bump will mitigate some of the bumpiness, but it’s still a handful for anyone!
I wish Forza would make some nice fantasy tracks, imagine something of similar nature to Watkins Glen. Instead we get some city track which they have to make a circuit out of. Want to know another entity that did that? Formula E, and most of those tracks were all jokes.
It is beautiful but It’s horrible as a race track and would never work in real life racing, anything above C class is horrible to drive, i actually felt sea sick after driving BT24 after couple of laps, it was more swimming than driving. Prague is tons better.
I have nothing against fantasy tracks, except all the ones made by T10. Sunset forward was a good track and Sedona wasn’t too horrible. Rio looks like it might be ok-ish but all the rest are shocking.
O my worst track in the game not just cause of the bumps but everything about it is awful for a race track. They should have added this to horizon. Imo all the fictional tracks in this game are terrible for racing, okay for drift events and just goofing around. I wish they would just add more real tracks or even call them something else like project cars did. I just feel like if I wanted totally unrealistic tracks I would have bought horizon. Just my 2 cents.

Hated this track at first but found practising the shorter versions helped me take on the full one with a bit more skill. I quite like it now. It seems to be a feature of the fictional tracks that they are often bumpy with steep elevation changes. New York being one exception i can think of.
As for other fictional tracks i always felt that Maple Valley was a bit dull and i haven’t managed to get to grips with/learnt to like Alps and hoped they might ditch it for 6.
Omg is that a bonus track in one of the packs? Makes me shed tears man. Back when xbox live kicked off, I held world records on the only GP racing game available game back then. It’s been so long, must see it again.
I’m in the camp that really likes it. I think it is my favorite track in 6 and I actually do like Prague as well. I think Turn 10 designs some really good tracks.
