They had a hype about the December update the other day, but apparently this looks like the same update as usual.
I was hoping that the bodykit update they’ve been delaying for nearly two years would come in Series 30.
At least it would have excited me more than Koeningggssenisseggsegnignigsegigiseg or new achievements.

What body kit update has been delayed?

In the spring of 2019 they gave notice of it. Originally it was supposed to be done around summer 2019.
This was for the purpose of adding body kits to existing models at the time of April 2019, and they had said that many body kits would be added.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXEFzfPf9iE&feature=youtu.be&t=4112
But this update has already been delayed for more than a year. (Even in the Monthly update stream after the addition of the bodykit to Mini Cooper, they mentioned that this update was delayed, so the addition of the bodykit to Mini is probably unrelated to this update)

Spring of ‘19? That feels like a decade ago lol
Did they say it was going to happen soon or that they were “looking into it”? Gotta love the semantics game that some of these developers play.
Nice. Just watched that episode of top gear last week (amazon is running some of the early seasons)
I guess the Jesko that was temporarily leaked on twitter is coming, then.

Would be amazing have the old Koenigsegg CCXR Edition/Trevita besides Jesko
damn i love this car!
90s Alfas, they could be the 155 Q4 and the SZ Zagato. IMO the SZ isn’t all that interesting, I’d rather the Alfetta GTV6, which could be a bootleg James Bond car. Classic Fiat, almost surely the 8V Supersonic.
For an “Italian” update that’s pretty weak IMO. Maybe the Alfas come with the 2.9L V6 from the Giulia, who knows.
The Jesko could come, but I think it’s pretty unlikely unless they give us 4 cars this time around. Biggest problem with the Jesko is PI, it should go straight into X class unless they undertire it. T-Rex could’ve been the new RAM TRX, but again, very unlikely.
Speaking of the bodykit update, yes, it’s been promised more than a year ago and likely shelved due to working on stupid things like the Eliminator. To ignore it ever happened is to clutch at straws.
Guess the game needs some boost in playtime according to PG’s metrics, hence the new achievements. Cheap way to make people play, as was done all year. Couldn’t have asked for lazier support.

Yeah, I had seen that, but didn’t expect it so soon.
“Welcome to Turn 10”, Dan Greenawalt said. But it’s Playground who reaps the benefits, as usual.
Another article you may well have already seen, though:
It's been only a few months since we first saw the teaser for the upcoming new, and un-numbered, Forza Motorsport, but one industry insider reckons that the next title in the Horizon series could arrive first.
To date, the open-world Horizon has...
“the Horizon series has also overtaken Motorsport as the franchise’s sales juggernaut in recent years. FH3 outstripped FM7‘s lifetime sales to date, and FH4 is by far the most popular car-based Xbox exclusive game in the console’s history.”
They’ve got to go with the customers to a large extent.
Don’t forget the 75 from FM6,7 and FH3, 1992 MY, so that could be a possibility too

As the Jesko had been leaked, its coming. I doubt it will be straight to X Class but around Agrea RS (S2-996). Agrea RS according to the internet has more power than the Jesko but not a huge margin and is lighter but not a huge margin. The only thing left as a comparison is grip. The highest it is going to be is S2-998, bear in mind it is RWD.
It should be noted that we have 2x S2-998 base cars. VW IDR and Ultima 1020 which meant that there was not much you can do in terms of upgrades for S2 racing.

According to who or what?
Agera RS has 1 megawatt power = 1360 ps, metric system or 1341 hp if you prefer
Jesko has 1600 hp, and much faster than Agera RS by any means

It’s depending on fuel being used by the Jesko. In the world of Forza fuel as no value.

doesn’t matter at all
base Agera RS has only 1160hp with petrol, less than Jesko no matter what fuel used
you still wrong

And default Sport tires which means it’s very hard to drive at S2998…
I don’t like the high-powered Koenigseggs in FH4 very much because of that. But it’s still an important addition, because it’s a new car.

its a RWD car with over 1,200 so its gonna be difficult to drive either way. As I doubt Rally tyres to squeeze AWD in will keep it in S2.
