Are you guys ever planing to rescan Indy? The track has changed dramatically.

Request it here and you never know what might happen http://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst148p31_Forza-Motorsport-5-Track-Wishlist.aspx
Well when they did Long Beach they said that If the layout changes they will go out and re-scan the track. That was for a street course, only open one weekend a year. Im not really making a request but more of a suggestion of redoing a current track. It looks dated in forza 5.
Nice I wasn’t aware they had a new road layout but reading up on it on wikipedia apparently its only used for motor cycle races. It looks shorter then the old GP layout which is longer then the racing oval.
Nope, the loop by the Pits it used for the Moto GP, they then use the layout we have on Forza, the “new chicane” after turn 3 (the way we run it) is new, the loop by the pits is in the game just not used
I asked about this when the Indy car race was on and I was told to go to the wishlist by the over exuberant “mods” … I expect this will be the same …
They wont … they are too busy recycling Forza 4 cars for DLC

Here is a better video than what OP posted: Grand Prix Of Indianapolis: On-board with Simon Pagenaud - YouTube
Well that’s just silly. Doesn’t he know he’s supposed to cut through the grass on turn one? …what…he’s not! …but we…Ooooh
Anyone notice when the construction and configuration was finally ready? October, 2013. And that was changes to the Moto GP course - for motorcycles. Even if that particular configuration was added, how would the developers have completed the scanning and converted all that to the game to be included in the manufacturing process in less than 60 days?
This is rather interesting, when you start adding up all that goes into a track: http://tannerellison3d.com/forza-5.html
Moto GP has been going to Indianapolis for 6 years with the iteration that they have now, it has been changed in 2014 to have a more curved radius, they go anticlockwise and turn left at the end of the pits onto an infield section (the same section the indycars used in the race) that is in the game if you look to the right as you go around there, the only thing they have added for the Indycars is a straight so instead of doing 2 hairpins, they have 2 90 degree corners
That section is useable at the moment in the game (It doesnt sticky grass you) so all they would need to do is take some of the grass away on the pit entrance to the track and they could offer to Moto GP track (albeit a year old) and then if they wanted to make the new Indy track, its only a chicane in the back straight and a straight off the infield GP section
I say its only, we know its a bit of work to get it done, but then thats another 2 tracks in the game … for free as such, it wont take 9 months to edit that track and to be able to offer those 2 tracks in game
