FEATURES


TRACKS: Sunset Peninsula Returns to Motorsport, Bathurst coming with Update 15

  • Available for the first time since Forza Motorsport 4, Sunset Peninsula returns to Forza Motorsport with five layouts that challenge the skills of both drivers and automotive power, all while featuring a fresh coat of paint that maintains the classic racing experience this track is known for.
    • Built in 1958 on the west coast of Florida, the oval circuit includes long straights and challenging banked turns, making it a great choice for testing top speeds and mastering high-speed cornering. All-out horsepower is tested to its max at Sunset Peninsula’s 2.44-mile tri-oval, while the 2.78-mile full circuit combines the oval with technical, yet flat infield sections, where even a slight mistake in driver judgment could suddenly halt your race.
    • Plus, look out for Featured Rivals and VIP Rivals events throughout Mustang Month where you will have the opportunity to set your fastest lap times on the track. In addition, all five layouts of Sunset Peninsula are available in Time Attack and these circuits can also be enjoyed in Career, Multiplayer and Free Play.
  • Our next track release for Forza Motorsport is Bathurst, which we plan to release with Update 15 in mid-December. That will be our last track addition for 2024, with more tracks to follow in 2025.

DRIFT MODE

Drift is now a Game Type option in Free Play and Private Multiplayer. This includes a new Best Drift scoring option for the highest single continuous drift score (even across multiple laps) in addition to Best Lap and Total Score. Any segment of any track can be drifted for a score. Keep it going: Crossing the finish line will automatically bank your lap score and restart scoring for a new lap.

A new Drift Zone tab has been added to Rivals, where you can compete for the highest Drift lap score leaderboards in several new events featuring great car and track pairings. Top the leaderboards across Drift 101, 102, and 103, all of which will be permanently available. Updates will also include limited-time Drift Rivals, and for Mustang Month, you can show off your skills in both A Class Drift and Mediterranean Drift. Feel free to upgrade and tune for the best drift setup but remember, only rear wheel drive cars can be used for these events.

Drift scoring has also been added to Meetup Game Type options for private Drift Meetups. We are planning to add public Drift Meetups in a future update.

The Gameplay & HUD Settings menu includes an option to turn on Drift scoring HUD in other modes, however it will remain off in Featured Multiplayer races. The Drift Camera setting now applies to in-car and follow cameras when enabled.

Immerse yourself by drifting in some of the same cars used in official Formula Drift events. Today’s update adds these competition cars to the Showroom: the 2020 Formula Drift #151 Toyota GR Supra, 2006 Formula Drift #43 Dodge Viper SRT10, and 1997 Formula Drift #777 Nissan 240SX.

In addition, unlock the 2015 Formula Drift #13 Ford Mustang from the Challenge Hub by playing 5 Drift Races or by scoring 20,000 points or more in a single lap on Catalunya – National Circuit in the Mediterranean Drift Rivals.

GAME TIPS FOR DRIFTING

See Discussion topic.


PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING IN PRIVATE MULTIPLAYER

  • Find this new option in the Event Setup menu under Event Format along with options for Practice time limit, number of Qualifying laps, and Intermission Period.
  • You may choose to be a spectator for the race that follows practice by selecting Spectate Race from the Pre-race or Pause menu at any time during the practice session.

FORZA RACE REGULATIONS

  • Forza Race Regulations now displays the severity of a collision in UI notifications, replacing the ‘Avoidable contact’ messaging.
  • Individual FRR infractions now have maximum penalty times depending on collision severity, reducing cases where players were over penalized before.
  • Off-Track notifications now display FRR ruling: Small Time Gain, Large Time Gain, or Max Time Gain. Note that the penalty time incurred is a scaling multiplier on time gained, so penalty amounts vary for each. If no time was gained, there is no penalty.
  • Update 13 also includes general accuracy improvements based on the updated data capture system introduced in Update 12.
  • See Discussion topic.

OTHER GAME CHANGES

Below is a snapshot of the fixes and improvements included with Update 13. Head on over to Forza Support to view the full release notes :

  • Spectate
    • Added the ability to Spectate after joining a race in progress in Private Multiplayer.
  • Drivatar AI
    • Improved trailing ability especially in braking zones, making AI less prone to rear ending other cars.
  • Physics
    • Updated multi-car aero model to reduce downforce impact on leading cars, widen the aero wake near the car, smooth transitions near wake edges and reduce drafting induced aero balance changes.
  • Track changes to Virginia International Raceway (VIR)
    • Reduced the number of collidable objects on the track; improved grass quality; and tuned road wetness for better consistency.
  • Livery Editor
    • Added a new “Enter Text” button to Livery Editor font menus (all upper and lower letters tabs in the Apply a Vinyl Shape/ Vinyl Select menus), enabling you to type characters with a keyboard or virtual keyboard and automatically create a vinyl group containing those characters for faster creation of numbers, words, names, and phrases.
  • Rivals
    • Fixed an issue where Featured Rivals and VIP Rivals events had dynamic rubbering set to 0% by default. It should now be 100% by default.
  • UI
    • Added a Team column to the Pre-Race Driver List to inform players of each driver’s team affiliation
  • Car Proximity Radar
    • Added an “all clear” sound to Car Proximity Radar
  • Car Audio: updated car audio for the following vehicles based on community feedback:
    • 2022 Pagani Huayra R
    • 2014 Chevrolet #3 Corvette Racing Corvette C7.R
    • 2001 Acura Integra Type R
  • Car Accuracy
    • Our goal is to ensure that any new cars added to Forza Motorsport are built authentically and uniquely. We are updating our authoring techniques and pipelines so that we can update as many of the most egregious car audio issues as possible. The initial work on this is now complete and from Update 13 onwards, all cars added to the game will be built to this newer specification.
    • In addition, a number of cars that have been flagged as inauthentic, both internally and by the community, will be updated over time. Please stay tuned for additional updates on this in the months ahead.

Additional fixes are listed in the Release Notes.

FEATURED: MUSTANG TOUR

The Mustang Tour invites you to experience the Last of the Pony Cars, Colt Classics, Street Stallions and Wild Horses.

Last of the Pony Cars
Celebrate the Last of the Pony Cars in a series focused on modern-day Pony cars and how their time has come to an end. In 2024, the Ford Mustang became the last remaining Pony car still in production, while the Challenger and the Camaro ended production in 2023; despite the Camaro’s final model year being 2024. Compete with the 2024 Ford Mustang GT against a current fleet of production Pony cars to celebrate the end of an era.

Colt Classics
Celebrate the golden age of Mustang and the muscle car world by driving against some of the most iconic vehicles in Forza Motorsport that date from the 1960s through 1970s. Experience what racing against these legacy era cars was like before the modern resurgence of the Mustang.

Street Stallions
As the legacy of the Mustang continued in the 1980s through 1990s, the style and aesthetic of the Mustang changed with the introduction of the iconic ‘fox body’ styling, but the power and grace remained. Use the classic 1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R to compete against the 1980s and 1990s era of muscle cars.

Wild Horses
Mustang crashed into the twenty-first century with a variety of powerful representatives, high-end variations and special trims, from the new GT500s to the Saleen S302 Black Label. Race with the 2013 Ford Mustang GT500 against other Mustangs released after 2010.

Mustang Tour Reward
Experience the history and evolution of Pony cars in the Mustang Tour. Complete all four series in the Mustang Tour in Career before November 27, 2024, or 10 Mustang Challenge Series races in Featured Multiplayer during Mustang Month, to earn the new-to-Motorsport 2018 Saleen S302 Black Label.

Open Class Tour is where you can resume the journey of your favorite tuned cars, and each update to Forza Motorsport refreshes the Open Class Tour with new events and a different reward car. Cars you’ve already upgraded in a different Builders Cup series can be further levelled up in the Open Class Tour.

The Open Class Tour features six series, each with three races, that range from D Class to R Class. Upgrade your favorite Mustangs – or any cars of your choosing – and use them to complete all six series in the Open Class Tour before November 6, 2024, and you will receive the 1970 Ford #15 Mustang Boss 302 Trans Am, new-to-Motorsport with Update 13. You can also unlock the 1970 Ford #15 Mustang Boss 302 Trans Am by completing 10 Multi-Class Series races in Featured Multiplayer.

Driven by Parnelli Jones, this Pony racer made headlines when it won the 1970 Trans-Am season championship in a historic victory.

FEATURED MULTIPLAYER MENU

  • New MX-5 Cup Spec Series: Ideal for beginners and veterans alike, the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Cup is built for single-make racing series, which makes it a thrilling contender in this specialized MX-5 Cup event.
  • New Cycled Class Series: rotates events daily between P, D, X, C, and E Classes. With the introduction of this series, which will remain available in the game after Mustang Month, players will get to experience a wider range of classes every week. In addition, the dedicated B, A, S, and R Class Series will continue to cycle weekly as before.
  • New Community Choice selections as part of the Featured Multiplayer event rotation: GTX Sportscar Series, Forza Proto-H, and GTP/C Series. These events were decided on by player voting on the Forza forums; stay tuned for additional voting opportunities for the Community Choice Series in future updates.

Series / Schedule Changes

  • Moved the weekly, cycled one-make series from the Spec tab to Featured tab
  • Increased the race length of Medium races to target 18 minutes (previously 16 minutes),
  • Updated Tire Wear Scalar for all Short and Medium length races to 4x – making tire wear consistent across Short, Medium, and Long races. See Discussion topic.
  • Updated the Multi-Class Series to focus solely on ABCS.
  • Starting with Update 13, there will no longer be a Spotlight Series. This change will help improve concurrency across all other available Featured Multiplayer Series. We will continue to showcase Spotlight cars in Career, Rivals, and the Challenge Hub.
  • Following the release of Update 12, we made the decision to remove Forza GT4 from active Featured Multiplayer events due to the lack of cars and competitiveness within the series. In its place, the Forza Touring Car Spec Series remains available. In the future, we intend to explore alternatives to bring back Forza GT4 racing into Featured Multiplayer, for example, through a GT Multi-Class variation. We will also revisit the standalone Forza GT4 Series once we have a larger car roster to accommodate this Spec Division.

Now this is an update! Not gonna lie I’m hyped. I don’t expect every update to be this big. But keep this momentum going. I like the theme, number of cars added (I know you can’t always add this many cars but definitely more than 2.), and history given in the overview. Honestly, imo, you guys did well this update. Well done. I can’t wait to get started.

Disappointed though there’s no fix for being unable to transfer liveries from FH.

Not immediately. We’re shifting our video overview format, stay tuned.

I have multiple questions:

  1. What are the car divisions for each Endurance Series?
  2. What are the race lengths for all series in general? Which ones are Medium/Long/Short?
  3. Will Cycled Class rotate between the classes on a rolling basis for every 5 days, or will it “reset” every week? (in other words, will Monday always be C etc.).

This information (particularly the race lengths as Medium is preferential for some players) would be useful for my club to plan future events, as we normally plan our calendar weeks in advance.

The Multiplayer changes in the patch notes seem rather good by the way, thanks for those :slight_smile:

This is for all MP races? Even more soft tires in class lobbies now, yikes.
I’m not going to rebuild my entire garage. Less play it is then.

Been looking around and am having trouble finding exact information on cars added. Are they all Mustangs or are there some other additions?

Here is the full list of new cars:

  1. 1970 Ford #15 Mustang Boss 302 Trans Am (reward car)
  2. 1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R
  3. 2013 Ford Shelby GT500
  4. 2024 Ford Mustang GT
  5. 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse (in Car Pass)
  6. 2024 Ford Mustang RTR (in three variants)
  7. 2006 Formula Drift #43 Dodge Viper SRT10
  8. 2015 Formula Drift #13 Ford Mustang
  9. 1997 Formula Drift #777 Nissan 240SX
  10. 2020 Formula Drift #151 Toyota GR Supra
  11. 2018 Saleen S302 Black Label (reward car)
  12. 1967 Shelby GT 500

There are only three non-Mustangs (Formula Drift cars).

Thanks! That’s roughly what I found, just missed the FD cars.

The Dark Horse tied to the car pass makes it unlikely that we could see a one-make series in Forza based on the series that just finished the 2024 season IRL.

Whoever it is that decides how to utilize cars in-game needs some help.

Cool update. Lots of Mustangs.

Never driven that track before, not a massive fan of infield tracks but maybe it’ll be good?

I don’t understand why private multiplayer is getting all those options but not freeplay? Surely freeplay is far more popular and could benefit from the extra features?

Ive downloaded the 14GB update. I know its early but -

  1. “Cars free to players”, do we still have to spend ingame credits to get them?
  2. The rivals drift 101 seems to freeze as you start your first lap. Bug or too early?
