Career tours where good! All about race cars!
Please add QoL features like radar and weather slots.
Drift & drag racing must comeback too. :smile:

Yes. We need racecars in MOTORSPORT title. I hope we’ll get more. I’m sure we will.

I did not understand why the Strassenversion needed to be buffed as it was already a meta car but other than that i guess i’m alright with the car balancing changes.

E class addition was great. However the track and layouts selected were disappointing.

I’ve very little interest in doing E or D class races against the AI in career mode. I appreciate that others do like these but we have yet to see anything above S class (and even that not for a few months now) in these open events. The ideal would be to have the full range each month but only require completion of 4 events to unlock the car.

Similarly, the question about whether the race lengths are correct or not misses the obvious choice for people to vary the race lengths to suit their own preference (a feature that was of course present in FH7). I don’t want to do every event as a 30 lap marathon but I might (for example) have done the 60s F1 event as a longer race or one of the other races I enjoyed.

I appreciate that this doesn’t seem to be T10’s preference, but giving video game playing customers a choice is always going to be the best way forwards.

Let’s start with the absolutely most shameful thing about the Update 7, i.e. Nissan Silvia Super Silhouette not being eligible for Rulebook Racers event in the featured tour in career mode (despite fitting there perfectly). In other words, we were disallowed to use the content we paid for. At least we could drive Lotus Type 35 and Porsche 956 in the following events - otherwise I could start seeking options for getting a refund for Car Pass…

Other than that, I loved the theme of this update, both retro race cars in Featured Tour (with great introductory videos for each event) and cars from the 60s in Open Class Tour. Reward cars were very interesting too (especially the Renault F1 car), although having only two new vehicles per update is too little. Brands Hatch is a welcome addition as well.

Sadly, the Open Class Tour was fun only in E and D class (and maybe in C class too… to some extent). Races in B class turned out to be a chore when I tried to use a full-stock Ferrari 250 GTO and had to compete against heavily upgraded E-class and D-class models (like Nissan Fairlady Z or Jaguar E-Type) that turned to be much more nimble and faster even than Ferrari. It ruined immersion, there should be only “native” B-class cars in that last category (the game contains plenty of those). Or at least we should have an option to make races longer so that we have more time to chase opponents.

Anyway, I’m hoping for more updates with strong retro (and racing) vibes like this one :slight_smile:

I like Brands Hatch a lot. I like these sorts of club tracks that can fit all ranges of power from a classic Mini to a GTE racecar.

Regarding penalties, honestly, didn’t really measure a change. I only play against AI, so penalties have never really been much of a problem. I think the AI has improved a little, but I still find it braking in places you shouldn’t, and generally unwilling to move off the racing line in a straight even when they have a massive overspeed advantage.

About the featured tour… you know what I’m going to say. Just stop removing content. Career mode would be more than twice the size it currently is. It would start to look like a proper game. And it’s the same for reward cars. Make them available to buy and rent instead of deleting them.

I appreciate that the open tour ventured into E and D class. It’s certainly a change from only being able to run C/B/A/S classes all the time.

I do appreciate the themes of classic cars and classic racers. As far as I’m concerned, the most quintessential form of racing is 1960s formula one. Before aero and safety was a concern.

Biggest improvement this update was the ability to finally play this game for more than 2 races. I finally have stable framerate and the game doesn’t choke to 60 then 30 after a few races. Although being able to do a bunch of races in a row highlights a few usability issues, like how in theory you can buy and upgrade cars in a lobby without having to go through the main menu, but in practice it’s borderline impossible if there’s any car restriction rule in effect.

Whilst this is a minor point in the scheme of things, I do think it was very disappointing that this oversight wasn’t fixed by way of a patch. I can’t imagine it would have been difficult to do and it was flagged on here immediately. It’s the type of little gesture which would show that T10 listens to its customers.

Yes, we had two hotfixes during the five week break between updates and T10 did nothing about it. Not even stated that it’s by design and they’re not going to change it. Being treated like this, I’m not encouraged to spend more money on this franchise. Especially that it’s not the first nor the worst situation when there were issues with paid content and devs were reluctant to fix them. Remember Dodge TA Challenger’s engine sound missing for at least two months? :slight_smile:

I welcome the introduction of Brands Hatch as it’s a circuit I’ve actually been to for Group C endurance plus World and British Superbikes, as well as watching on TV events like F1 and BTCC.

The dynamic weather is an improvement on FM6’s static puddles and streams, but the Tour event set at night was terrible. The car’s headlights were insufficient to illuminate the track once out of the Indy part of the course (ie, in the woods on the GP layout). The AI cars’ tail and brake lights also didn’t seem to work, so I had to turn on track limits markers and full race line to see where to go. I wasn’t the only one to suffer this, as I watched a YouTube racer with vastly more skill, ability and experience than me also resort to turning on track limit markers.

I’m also 100% on with this idea. Because I’m 100% opposite of your race class selection. I much prefer the lower classes over the S and above. So a full range of the classes with our choice of 4 (with no repeats of course) would give everyone the perfect class mix.

Is there a way to word this in a suggestion so we can get the 20 or so people who care that are left here to vote on it?

Builders cup tours should be permanent. At least some of them.

I wouldn’t call it content at all. Recycled Cars and Tracks is content you left out on purpose to at least have something to ‘add’.

FOMO-Mechanics have ruined the game and I’m not going to waste my time racing the bad AI at all. I don’t care if I miss out on cars I can drive in FM7. This game is dead and it’s all on the developers.

From Update 5 to 8 I only jumped into Rivals once or twice a week. Shortly after Update 8 dropped I deinstalled the game and don’t see any need to come back. With the amount of issues and bugs you should release updates every 2 days instead of not touching a broken game for a month. It’s obvious T10 don’t care at all so it’s no surprise the playercount dropped this fast.

Monthly Playlists are no content!

This poll is a slap in the face to all the players suggesting improvements in their respective forums and it’s clear as day T10 has no intention on listening.
