Id rather the revuelto instead. Thats entirely new Lamborghini. The Evo spyder is pointless in Motorsport since you cant take the roof off

What is the motivation for rotating the Touring Car series? Were people asking for the change?

They added more weather selection options.

Okay we won’t tell you.

I was (asking for TC and GT4 to be one rotation, and GT3/GT2 to be another), maybe others too.

Hmm, that’s more limited than in Forza Motorsport 7 where you could go from fully dry to fully wet.

I got the shaders bug back in it’s glory: AMD 7900XTX with the latest drivers for Space Marines 2 (maybe are the latest drivers who cause the problem). Anyone else in the same boat?

Okay yes, rivals is 100% track rubber too.

It does have the option for rains at race start or race end

It is? Were you able to verify it vs Free Play?

Yes. Running 50% in free play I was about 4s slower around nurburgring. When I set it to 100%, it was aligned with my WR time.

(also, club rules have been fixed entirely, fuel is now whatever you set it to, and not 100%)

Hmmm… driving seems improved but…

Did the reverb effects get toned down? I no longer hear my car’s exhaust bouncing off the side walls like it used to or maybe it’s really weak.

I can’t tell if the audio has been improved a great deal but will have to do more testing. I don’t think the cars reported in the Car Issues thread have had their audio improved, sadly.

Also, I don’t have time to grind to win the Penzoil GTR - did T10 mention they would make a way available to win these ā€˜missed’ reward cars? Pretty sure they did

From what I hear, most of the audio improvements can be gound in the replays. My car was better focused and the cars in general didn’t drown out all of my cars audio. Also the quietness of when the cars are far away, to when they get close and pass the camera is far more dynamic. The constant drone of Forza engines at half throttle is also addressed. Now the cars sound like they are using the accelerator pedals, and while its not as dramatic as another game that recently recieved a graphics and sound update, an approaching car makes better use of the doppler effect than before this update.

In game, I didn’t notice anything different. Maybe less static in the audio… But that is also on the Headphones I used. If I stay away from Corsair’s iCue and use my studio headphones, I get clean audio. If I use the Corsair HS60s I get static, reverb and mud. But discord chat sounds good. :dotted_line_face:

Just want to say the Rail Cam feature in the replays is a superb addition to the franchise & will help promote the game & series organisers events no end.
Keep it coming plus the fixes we sent tickets for way back in Oct/Nov '23 for various things, don’t forget those, & we may have an epic game in a few months time.

I’ve noticed my car now double-shifts after the update using automatic, it didn’t do that before.

I think they said that ā€œsomeā€ would become available, so no way of knowing whether that will include the Pennzoil or, if it does, when it will be available.

Why would you ask for that? What’s the point of taking away TC from players? It’s only slightly less popular than GT. There’re many dedicated TC players now with noting left to do on Multiplayer.
And why would you want to cycle it with GT4 which is basically a meme series with only 3 cars available and only 2 of them being actually viable?
TC Series is also a great introduction into Online racing for new and less experienced players. They are incredibly easy and fun to drive and allow to focus more on actual racing and less on the handling of the car.

Great update! Many new features, Challenge HUB and better sound.

And three tracks have been graphically improved! SPA, Indianapolis and Hakone got beautiful textures, much better grass and nice lighting.
