I'm looking at the Fiesta RX...that's a Austin Dyne car from the recently deceased GRC. So we might be getting GRC content after all - just not the one we were expecting.

Could be some content that they forgot to take out. At this point I've very suspicious of anything GRC related being added to the game, what with all the legal kerfuffle that seems to be going on between the organization, the brands and venues, I think the timing couldn't be much worse.

Turns out there were some leaks after all in the thumbnails...

I'm spoilering these images because they're actually extremely interesting. I'll spoil one thing, let's just say there's a rather British theme.

I mean, could they not just remove any mention of GRC and release it as a Fiesta RX car? Like what PD did for the Lotus 97T in GT Sport, turning it into the F1500T?
 
You know how I mentioned the 924’s body kit had the Q60 Concept name in it a few pages back? well good news I found it.

Just not on the 924.

Yep, on the now fixed ‘32 Ford Coupe. :D

Perhaps, leaving it as a body in white could work, yeah. Considering the current situation with GRC though, I wouldn't be surprised if anything RX related will be left on the table for a while to see what the outcome will be.

Besides, if they did that, then it wouldn't feel weird removing a livery that was already on it and replacing it with something else.

Or is that just me that thinks that?
 
I should point out that Tanner Foust’s Beetle does still say Global Rallycross in its name, so I imagine they’ll change that out if it comes to it.
 
Just did a few races between the Greenwood Vette, 935 and Bob Sharp 280zx and they are alot more competitive and closer than their PI makes it out to be. The Datsun and Vette are nearly neck and neck even down the mulsanne straight but the Datsun edges it out by a few mph. The Porsche kills both in straight line speed but it gets closer the more corners there are. I like these 3 cars together, real fun racing.

What the hell is GRC? and whats the situation with it?
 
Those Leaks! :drool:

The London Taxi: No word of a lie I suggested awhile a go this should be put in Forza.. I will buy the game just for this Bad boy :D

Ford Escort XR3: Ha ha, the ultimate Chav mobile of the 90's... This is going to be fun ;D

The Peel P50: Just imagining this racing against a Hummer or the Merc Race truck.. I mean if this car can make the game then there is no reason why the Reliant Regal Van and Morgan couldn't have been in the game.

The Morris Minor: Another British Classic.. I can see this car being a sleeper.

I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions but these will make excellent editions to the game..Please be true ;D
 
A little late, but dropping these patch notes here, care of the official forums (yes, it still says April 10 :P ):

April 10, 2018
Today we released the April update for Forza Motorsport 7, which includes new features like the ability to test drive cars in multiplayer lobbies, as well as our new Race Telemetry panel in Spectate mode. For more on these features, check out our April Update announcement story on FM.net. In addition, we’ve made numerous improvements and bug fixes to the game, including the following:

PC
  • Fixed an issue where PC players were running into an extensive hitch in performance every time they used Alt-Tab to return to the game.
  • Fixed an issue where game would hard lock after tabbing out from multiplayer Spectate to the race lobby.
  • Particles will no longer clip into the ground when DRS “Particle Resolution” is set to “Full.”
  • Corrected mouse control behavior when using the Spectate Ticker and Telemetry functions.
  • Fixed an issue where some PC players were encountering black screens in between MP races.


Cars
  • Fixed an issue with the 1972 Land Rover Series III where the front tires were missing turning animation.
  • Fixed an issue with the 1997 Honda Civic Type R where the driver’s hands clipped through the steering wheel while in neutral position.
  • Corrected the position of the air vent in the cockpit for the 2016 Audi #17 Rotek Racing TT RS.
  • Fixed an issue with the 1983 Jaguar #44 Group 44 XJR-5 where the manufacturer livery on the sides of the car clipped with the vehicle’s body when damaged.
  • Fixed an issue with the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, where the aftermarket Forza rear wing would clip through the supports around the tire.
  • Fixed an issue with the 2011 Ferrari #62 Risi Competizione F458, where the right side door livery was mirrored from the left side door during races.
  • Reduced darkness of windscreen for the 1976 Brabham #8 Motor Racing Development BT45B.



Tracks
  • Fixed issues for inside apex curbs that caused players to unrealistically slow down. These fixes affect the following tracks: LeMans, Hockenheim, Monza, and Circuit of the Americas.


Livery Editor
  • Fixed an issue where livery decals applied to one side of the 2016 Ariel Nomad were duplicated to the interior and the opposite side of the vehicle.


Multiplayer
  • Improved general menu performance when entering a public race in progress.
  • Fixed an issue where a private lobby host would be moved to the back of the grid before entering the “verify the grid” screen.
  • Fixed an issue where some players in a lobby would not load to the next track and would miss the race.
  • Ticker feature that are time based now use the “00:00:00” format.
  • Fixed an issue where, in a private lobby, if the host set Weather Type to “Rain”, the lobby would switch to “Partly Cloudy” conditions.
  • Players can no longer “ready up” during Verify Grid screen.
  • Removed Collection Tier icon on opponent label Gamertags from multiplayer and Spectate.
  • Fixed an issue where elements of the Car Info Spectate Telemetry UI were persisting between instances of Spectating during a single race.


UI
  • Fixed an issue where UI would be blocked by a car during map load between races.


Accessories
  • The analog handbrake for Fanatec wheels will now work with the console versions of Forza 7.

This is just making me want a London based Horizon :lol:
 
They are screwing with us that want the new supercars in the game. But its planed you have to pay for them instead when car pass expires.
6 months of car packs and not a single one of them has had Any of the new supercars exept chiron. Every car pack has had at least one suv some time more. Suvs are useless in a track racing game. They don't have rally like gt sport. Are the still keep going to ignore us that wants the new 720s, superfast and more
 
The Nissan gtp is super competitive, wow. I probably just had the best race in forza yet and I'm posting the setup in case anybody wants to try it.
Freeplay: AI set to pro or unbeatable
Max AI somewhere between 15-20 ( I did 18)
Set four buckets and random grid layout, bucket 1 is yours using the Nissan gtp
Bucket two Mazda 787b
Bucket three Jaguar xjr-5 #44 with upgrades set to yes
Bucket 4 being the Dunlop Porsche 962
Each bucket of cars set to Max of 3, 4 or 5 each and lastly is pick a track with some length, straights and some turns to it like road America, Sebring, Watkins glen, road Atlanta full or Daytona, set laps as many as you want I'd say 10 is decent and have fun! In case anybody cares I started in 7th and finished 4th, as this combo of prototypes are real close to each other in performance and it's nice blend of gtp and group C

Would be said if it would be gone. Being from Europe I watch the FIA WRX championship but it's always good to have multiple racing series from the same genre to keep global interest in it.

I wonder what will happen with Project CARS 2 licencing though, they have a lot of liveries from the GRC series, heck even the entire GRC Lites licence.

Even if GRC would end to exist, I think liveries and cars that already exist in games can just stay as they are? Since they were part of past deals.

That would be fair, I would hope the organization wouldn't lash out to games like PC2 and potentially Forza 7...it's a waiting game now.
 
So the 1948 Ferrari 166 Inter Sport comes with a giant roll cage as standard equipment?

Edit: Ok, I found where to remove the roll cage, but still find it odd that it first appears in my garage with it pre-equipped.

Very disappointed with update part, specially when they are mentioning "we are listening community"!

No Time Trial, Private Lobbies, qualifying, Replay features, even Free Play issues are not fixed, for example multi-class options when you can't change more than one option, bcs they are removing one each other...

So many more things to fix, not to add...
If they really care, there would be more alone, real updates long ago!

They are most happy with final NOTE, that this is last "free" Car Pack...
 
Looking at the bare 3D models of the new cars and these are probably some of the lowest quality cars to date from Turn 10, the body of the Odyssey is so lumpy and so many of the faces aren't connected that should be. Almost as bad as the one miata aftermarket bumper where none of the faces are connected.
