Is there a particular reason why everyone is predicting the production AM Valhalla for the next series, was it found in the files or something? I would expect the McLaren Senna GTR before the Valhalla since we have the concept already but no McLaren Senna in general, although the Sabre is based on the Senna I believe. I wouldn’t mind a 720S with the Liberty Walk widebody but I am definitely hoping for at least one new McLaren. I would also love to see another Group C car like the XJR-9 or AMR1 but I don’t know how likely either of those would be.

Forza was the first video game to feature the Valkyrie, both the production hypercar (in FH5) and the AMR Pro (in FM2023), while the Valhalla concept first appeared in FH5. It feels likely to me that they'd want to include the production Valhalla if they got the opportunity.

Actually, it was GT7 that was the first non-mobile racing game to have the Valkyrie.
 
What British cars are popular in Japan?

Obscure prediction: McMurtry Spéirling. It was briefly on the Steam depot list for Forza Motorsport and set to be in that game’s Car Pass but got removed before release and replaced with something else.

I'd love a Spéirling. The car may suck hard, but it has its fans.

Because there really isn’t any other hot exotic British car to headline the update other than the production spec Valhalla or the W1.

And since the shipping of customer W1s is delayed due to prolonged development, the Aston is currently the best bet as the star car.

Sure there’s plenty of other new Astons, Bentleys and Maccas that we are missing, but none of them are on the level of the Valhalla.
 
Just for a left field choice, how about the MG RV8 for the British series? Of the nearly 2000 built between 1992 and 1995, about 80% were sold in Japan, which makes it especially appropriate for FH6. Just as an aside, the RV8 used the 3.9 liter version of the Rover V8 that was used in the MGB GT V8 in the 1970s. Because it was an all-aluminum engine, the 3.5 liter V8 used in the 1970s GT V8 was 40 lbs lighter than the all-iron four-cylinder used in the standard MGB.

Now, granted, they could always toss a curveball our way on Monday and reveal that the headliner is something like the McMultry Spierling or the McLaren Senna GTR. But Forza and Aston-Martin have always had a strong relationship, so more than likely it'll be the production Valhalla.

What if we got the elusive Bristol Fighter?

Minis, obviously, but old Lotuses (Lotii?) are very popular in Japan, particularly the Europa. There was a Manga in the 70s called "Circuit no Ōkami" that featured one as a hero car.

Kousuke Fujishima who created Oh My Goddess! also created a six episode OVA series called éX-Driver that featured the main characters driving a Lotus Europa and Subaru WRX, because he owned both cars. (The Subaru was replaced by a Lancia Stratos from the second episode on.)

What about Morgan? We've seen them in FH3, 4 and 5 and it would make sense to bring them in now. I'd also love to see the SD1 back as mentioned earlier...

I've been a Morgan fan all my life, even visited the factory in 1983, so I could go for any Morgan, but I’m especially missing the 3 Wheeler. Such a wonderfully barmy car.

Do you think they release the update notes Friday since Monday is a holiday in the US?

EDIT: lol McLaren just put out a presser confirming the W1 for Car Pass

I would love to see the Europa here so I can finally cosplay the one from éX-Driver.

Good point, and I wouldn't be too surprised if an Europa Twinkie was part of this month's proceedings.

Yawn at least the F80 is a Ferrari. The W1 has nothing going for it, for me. But hey, I'm sure its inclusion will make many people happy; and in any case, my lack of interest should not be confused for a dislike. So, 10/10 addition even tho I will probably drive it once and then forget about it.

And now watch all the "WEEEEE WEEEEE HORIZON 6 IS DEAD BECAUSE NO LATEST SHINY HYPERCAR" folks completely ignore the addition of the W1.
