Later than usual publish for the Week in Review today – apologies for that.
How’s everyone doing in the Stig’s Challenge? I’m only losing by 8 seconds. So, you know, that’s something.
Enjoy the wrap-up this week and get ready for a fun week!
Seems things have been a bit overwhelming at Turn10. Glad to see how much I’ll have to look forward to when I eventually get an Xbox One.
I am curious though: was March the end of new Rivals events on FM4? Nothing new had appeared and I’m a little anxious.
Anyway, take care. Can;t wait to see the big reveal!
Best,
Leland
Great WIR, Brian! I just have to say why couldn’t this have been the CBH for you. As it stands right now, I’m a good 4 seconds ahead of you, but still way off the Stig’s time and don’t think I’ll ever get there. However, I set a goal for myself for this rival and have accomplished it so far. I am in the top 300 and will likely improve on that in the coming days.
I hadn’t seen the Ferrari video and it’s gorgeous to see all those Ferrari’s together in one film. It’s amazing! And that map of the Isle of Mann circuit is crazy! The fact that all those tracks can fit inside it is unbelievable. And on a finla note, just like everyone else here, can’t wait for the big announcement to drop. See you on track!

I’m guessing it’s possibly the long awaited porshe pack or new tracks hopefully either COTA, DAYTONA, OR FUJI. Wishful thinking is some kind of partnership with the Tudor United Sports Car Championship and dlc of some of the race cars!
Awesome Ferrari video, really cool to see all those Ferraris racing down the track together! School’s been keeping me away from the forums and I see that a lot has been going on. I’m super excited to hear what the add-on is and I can’t wait for the announcement! I don’t have the car pack so I can’t participate in the rivals event but it looks like the Stig’s Digital Cousin is going to be insanely hard to beat, if he can even be beaten at all that is.
Great article. That’s a pretty cool fact about the Isle of Man. It’s next on my list of places to visit after we do Wales.
As for the big reveal… ooooh what could it be? For me it’s between one of two things:
- Marketplace.
- Nurburgring Expansion.
I would prefer the latter, but either would be a great addition.

Another good read. Thanks for that.
Can’t wait till I can afford an Xbox one.
With all these exciting competitions going on.
Wish I had one now. Still no good just wishing must save harder.

Nice write-up! For the Stig’s digital cousin challenge, I won’t be making any improvements to my time (which is 2:13:642) as I’m currently under the weather, The Holden handles very well in stock form, even with TCS off. That map by Redditor is flat out amazing, plus it included Darlington! I’m looking forward to what will be added to FM5.
Yes IOM TT is big but look at Targ Floria 45 mil and its for cars , Dare you T10
Very excited for new dlc. Hopefully its a track or two
good job mechburg. love the article.

I’ll tell ya, the Stig Digital Cousin in this rival is nothing like the one in career mode. Must not be the same cousin. lol
Great article as always Brian and thanks for sharing with us. I cannot wait to see what this big announcement will be. I don’t want to speculate but I definitely can’t help but question myself what it might be. Road America was an awesome surprise and i have a feeling it will be just as good.
The Top Gear car pack is full of some great cars, especially the Chaparral. It’s a little different, I feel as if I’m going to take off like an airplane, but it is great fun to drive.
Great read can’t wait to find out what the announcement is I wander if it another expansion?

fantastic stuff and free new add on everyone like free
I just wanna know when the Add on comes out… im checking the forums constantly lol
I hope the add on is The Isle of Man TT course. I’d love to take the 2011 STI around it like Mark Higgins.
great article this week !!! cant wait for the reveal either, as for that digital cousin of the stig he needs to get hit by a bus! im stuck with a 2:09.7 and my driving skills just arent enough to get around him lol. great challenge this time T10
