Seattle circuit tease for FM7?

Go to the homepage of Forza to see a picture that will probably tease the Seattle circuit (ForzaRC Pre-season update).

Nice catch, though I feel you’re reading a little too much into it as that’s where T10 will be holding a kickoff to the RC2018 Pre-season invitational, whatever that means.

  1. If you read the article you’ll see that the pre-season invitational is in Seattle, that’s why it’s in the background.
  2. Link to the correct section of the Forum for ForzaRC discussion:

You might want to read it though
They have invited some players to come to their offices in Seattle to race
That looks like the dubai circuit

Getting the feels.

In the most perfect of worlds, we’d get both this and NYC as an update – those jumps over the trolley tracks in GT’s Seattle Circuit were so, so good. I’d forgive T10 for a lot of their foibles if they were able to pull that off.

…of course, as you know all too well, KTVDS, that would mean a rather long drive for me through a corner of the virtual Loire Valley in a very slow car.

I hope you have a lot of free time in the near future. :wink:

NYC Circuit <3 <3 <3

nvm

Image for context, since nobody here has posted it:

It’s a composite image.

The forgreound is the start/finish straight at Yas Marina.

The midground is unclear, but looks like a basic off-track background section from one of the game’s circuits.

The background is the Seattle skyline.

…and the fact this thread exists shows just how antsy the player base is for something in the way of an expansion, or even news that doesn’t revolve around the words “ForzaRC”,“Rivals”, “Mixer” or “Twitch”.

Can we just all take a moment and appreciate the beauty that is Seattle? I went to the SeaTac area a few summers ago and fell in love with it.

Thats not a track that is currently in the game.

It has actual street markers on the tarmac and the buildings to either side don’t match anything currently in game. If you look closely, you’re coming off of a hillside making a left down onto the main straight. It looks like its just a heavily altered Yas Marina with the dubai straight away.

It looks like the picture is Yas Marina, Dubai and Seattle combined. I think you’re all right about the picture.
I miss the Seattle circuit of GT.

It’s just the Dubai Circuit with Seattle Photoshopped in the background. As someone who grew up in Seattle and now lives in Wichita, KS I would love a Seattle track, but it’s doubtful. Personally, I wish they would bring back Fujimi Kido, that would be amazing.

Too bad SIR doesn’t look anything like this picture and you can’t see Seattle from there either! Sadly, SIR is at best a third rate track. When I lived there I always thought the “International” part of the name was for the odd Canadian who might show up to race!

People were thinking it was Seattle from the GT series not SIR.

But why create game assets to create such a photo when a simple real photograph of somewhere in Seattle would have sufficed!? All in all, I would welcome a unique Seattle street circuit anytime! This was my original thinking also, but then I deferred to location logic - oh well!
