So what were your favorite FM7 memories from 2018?
Which cars, tracks, and features did you enjoy most?
Do you have a favorite video or photo created by the community?
What are you looking forward to in FM7 for 2019?

1) So what were your favorite FM7 memories from 2018?

All the nice free cars, the cool gifts for all rival events and your hard work to improve the game all along the year :wink:

2) Which cars, tracks, and features did you enjoy most?

for my part, all race cars and classic tracks like Le Mans, Nurburg Nordschleife, SPA , Indianapolis speedway, Brands Hatch (and so many other)

3) Do you have a favorite video or photo created by the community?

to many to choose only one or tow ^^

*4) What are you looking forward to in FM7 for 2019?

Maybe more events in career mode, little bit like the showcase in FM6… :wink:

PS: A wish…it’s not about Forza 7 sorry… but one thing would be very cool… it is that Forza Motorsport 4 becomes backwards compatible… i think it’s a dream, but it’s just a wish…(^_^)

Thanks T10 for your great work. :slight_smile:

+1 Making Forza 4 backwards compatible would be awsome!

The spot light cars were fabulous, definitely my favorite part of FM7 2018. Let’s not enter the new year with wrong things. Ahem engine sounds and shift animations. Also new year should bring new tracks and that one car pack we still missing.

Looking for a smoother running game and many more bugs being fixed in 2019!!!

Tracks? Ha, none. It’s the same ones from FM6 and 2 others rehashed from previous forzas. Some new tracks would be welcomed in 2019. I do like the dynamic day/night and weather attempts on the tracks that have them. It adds a nice layer to this game. The selection of cars is vast too, a little bit of everything.

I like all the changes that have been made from listening to the community, it’s been a good year for the game.

For 2019, I’d like the sounds on some vehicles to be improved, more career content and a track or two. (But I realise it’s probably unrealistic to expect that stuff).

My favorite FM7 memory from 2018 came at the expense of Josef Newgarden.

After winning the Torana FE car from Josef’s CBH, I painted it up like his Hitachi IndyCar, printed it out and had Josef, Will and Simon sign it at the 2018 Long Beach GP.
JN: You beat me?
Me: Yeah, by four hundredths.
JN: You [Something about the beach]. :slight_smile:

I had to explain to Simon and Will what they were signing, but Simon did turn to Josef and ask, “How come I didn’t know about this?” Will thought it was cool that the reward car was a Torana.
