I’ve gathered the top Forza Motorsport features voted on by the community. Using the “Motorsport Features” section of the “Suggestion Hub,” I identified the top ten most popular requests for each respective category. I then copied every request into ChatGPT-4 to summarise in one sentence. Sorted results from most to least popular and this was the result.

Good job! The only thing you forgot about is the meta request: When are patches coming that actually fix something?
And please after all this years, please give us finally a built from the ground up forza aero :>

Agreed. The #1 request should be fixing the game breaking bugs at a reasonable pace. Waiting over 2 weeks to prevent tracks from disappearing in a racing game is subpar.
I 100% agree that the priority right now should be on bug fixes. I was just interested to see what the community had voted on in the suggestion hub and figured I would share the summary above.
