For the people that havenā€™t yet, be sure to vote on Pikes Peak:

Also check out others with the hill-climb and mountain-pass tags!

No vote - there should be a third option:
3) Finish the Drift functionality (and the rest of the game) properly.

That gets my vote.

I went with Pikes Peak because itā€™s cool and you canā€™t pay me enough to pretend thereā€™s anything cool about drifting or racing in a straight line. Point-to-point races arenā€™t quite right for Forza Motorsport, but at least itā€™s a long course.

Hill climb gets my voteā€¦ although Iā€™m afraid Pikes Peak is out of reach, as Gran Turismo holds seemingly exclusive rights to it (and does with them nothing beyond adding a couple of Pikes Peak carsā€¦). Although there are many other options on the table, e.g. Mt. Washington.

Its called forza motorsport not forza circuit racer. I donā€™t understand how yā€™all that cry about drag and drift can be so dense and not be able to comprehend what a motorsport is. Fun factā€¦Drag/drift/sprint are forms of motorsports. Just cause your bad at them donā€™t make them not cool. And lets not forget that this is forza motorsport and not forza circuit racer.

Egzactly! the mass exodus to other better titles, is because car bowling, point to point, rally , nitrocross, auto cross, cone challenges, ice racing and on are fundamental to motorsport culture and vehicular passionsā€¦

How many other games include all of those motorsport categories in one title?

So So many do, iRacing, Grid Legends, Automobilista 2, RaceRoom, Gran Turismo 7 has most of it. Grid Legends even did a great demolition derby mode utilizing the damage model nicely. I think NFS Shift and Shift 2 did as well. Even motorcycles get included like Gran Turismoā€™s Tourist Trophy and Project Gotham Racing 4 had them. - like almost 2 decades agoā€¦

BeamNG provides all this as well with a Lidar version of Pikes Peak

Iā€™d expect this is common knowledge for those into digital racing. Shockingly Iā€™m finding it too common that thereā€™s detrimental amounts of echo and willfully unaware of the state of reality/cherry picking some false online dropping and use that as their basis for perception, versus just enjoying a couple hours checking out the amazing titles out there.

Most of those games (excluding Gran Turismo 7) are a bit dated and donā€™t have player populations large enough to suggest a ā€œmass exodusā€ pulling players away from games that donā€™t have as many motorsport categories.
Why werenā€™t they more popular?

Neither . Kujimi kaido is the second highest voted map, but tbh at this point I just want any type of hill climb map . Also thereā€™s still no city tracks either

On what planet? :rofl:

Motorsport is about competition, ā€œcoolā€ factor is just a side effect. Drag, drift and point to point races are 100% legit formats of competition.


I voted for Pikes Peak realising that itā€™s a very unlikely addition just to prove a point that we need Fujimi Kaido in FMšŸ’…

I would like to add Goodwood FoS that will be nice

Adding a single player career.

Iā€™d like race tracks from the 1900-50s even if they are just ā€˜best guessesā€™

Bales of hay, loose surfaces. A Mile Miglia type stage. Brooklands, Tripoli, the old Spa and on it goes.

If they get that right they can do some more intense rallying.

And as for Ice Racing that could be done as a cousin to drifting. With the Andros Trophy, itā€™s a very honourable part of motorsport.

Thatā€™s what Iā€™d like to see.

Pikes peak or Isle of Man would be dreams come true.

Not sure how they could balance the insane cars humans make to break records there.
