Tier 8 will begin at 10,000 Forza Rewards points and Tier 9 will start at 12,500 points!
There is a great news post by Mechberg here if you have not seen yet: News - Forza
This weeks WIR - also great news on releveled out Tier levels
Also… WEEKLY rewards! Starting today, a day early.
I am glad about tier 8, I have been grinding all the points out of the old games and just crossed 10K this week!
12,500 eh. Nice to have a tier that’s somewhere in the distance to work towards. =) Definitely doable with a bit of time in FM6.
Definitely, I figured the first week of playing a lot of folks in T8, will get into T9!
Tier 8 right off the bat, nice 
I wonder if the weekly rewards will be the same amount of credits each week, or the same amount of credits broken up over the four weeks.
I think it will be the monthly amount, broken up, but this month (august) they will be doubling. This was from Mech’s post
“To celebrate our new rewards cadence, we’re doubling the total credit rewards available in the month of August! For example, a player who would have earned 100,000 credits per game in July will now earn 200,000 credits per game in August, with the total credits amount divided among weekly payments. Please note that these rewards will expire each week, so make sure you come back to Forza Hub every Friday to check in on the latest Forza community news and claim your weekly credits!”
I shouldn’t be too far off Tier 9 then, nice one
Yep, you are auto upgraded to T8, and close to T9 – no one can hit T9 until FM6 Release.
Yeah, it’s showing the new tiers for me now
Teir 9, here I come. raceCat
And they fixed the scoring - got into Tier 6 on the last day of eligibility. Woo-hoo!
…aaaaaand they did NOT fix the scoring. F&F still gives me zilch outside of Gamerscore points.
So if that gets fixed, I might get to Tier 7 sooner than later. That would be cool!
It’s not fixed for me either. What gives?
Just got my weekly bonus - 80,000Cr for 360 games and 800,000Cr for XO games, at Tier 8. Probably not a coincidence to see so many 8’s 
So if this is doubled, the credit rewards for each month (4 wks) after August will be 160,000 for FH1 and FM4, while FM5, FH2 and FM6 get 1,600,000. So the amount of credits has gone down - just as well, the economy was getting a bit silly.
Anyone else read new “tires”…
Looks like I’ll be aiming for Tier 9 once Forza 6 comes out now, looking forward to getting that 2014 R18 in my garage on day one as well.
Just barely squeaked into tier 8, would be a lot higher if I bought more DLC and tokens but hopefully I can get into Tier 9 after Forza 6 comes out!
Great news, so does this mean they will fix Forza Horizon’s “Paid DLC” stat for everyone? Mine shows 3/5 and I have every single DLC available.
This has been ongoing for many users for a couple of months if not more.
this is welcome news
Been achievementhunhting these past few weeks to gain tier points. Now I can ease down a little. Joy.
Very cool. I like it
