I would like to know what the FM community thinks about adding a new game mode/ tab, which I have temporarily named Racing school. Below I will explain what it would be about.
As you know, multiplayer in the Forza Motorsport series is not considered as a place for people who want to have fair races. There are a lot of rammers and players who totally do not know the tracks, which results in dirty driving. The main idea of this new mode would be to educate players and teach them the tracks in the game.
The idea is to add a new tab in the career or multiplayer divided into two sub-tabs - AM and PRO (referring to the terminology associated with endurance racing). There would be separate challenge series for each track in the game (main layouts only). Each track would be divided into sections (depending on the length and complexity of the circuit). There would be a challenge linked to each sector. Each task would be divided into 3 subtasks for different classes of cars. So that players could learn how a particular class behaves on a given section. To complete the challenge you would have to drive the sector clearly and on the optimal racing line in the time limit. The final challenge would be to drive a full lap.
The difference between AM and PRO would be that in AM the challenges would be done with stock cars (from 3 classes, e.g. 500, 700 and 900) and in PRO with cars from 3 racing series, i.e. TCR/GT4, GT3/GT2 and LMP/LMH. In addition, PRO challenges would have stricter conditions set related to the time in which the task must be completed. For PRO, wet track challenges can also be added.
The reward for completing each challenge would be cash (in a not excessive amount). For completing the entire series for a track, the reward would be a racing suit plus cash (much more than for a single challenge). For completing the AM and PRO tab, the player would get some kind of unique car as a reward (something that was not in any game or appeared very rarely).
What do you think about this idea? In my opinion it would diversify the gameplay and add some depth to the game.
PS. In my opinion, completion of all challenges should be required to participate in multiplayer races. AM tab would give access to races not related to racing classes. Completion of the PRO tab would unlock full access. There is a problem with adding new tracks. There are two solutions:
- ignore the requirement to complete challenges for the new track - only for players who had all challenges completed at the time of addition.
- temporarily blocking access to multiplayer races until the challenges for the new track are completed.
This is just my opinion. I suspect that such a solution would not receive a positive feedback.
