According to the Xbox App on Windows, about 27.39% of the people didn't complete the first race in the career mode. :odd: Reminds me of another game where 40'ish% didn't complete the intro.

This is probably gamepass or xCloud. I would bet that many of these people downloaded and tried to run the game on a potato PC or via xCloud on a terrible connection and gave up.

I do recall for a good while after launch, the game would not pop the achievement for completing the intro to builders cup event series for me even though I went back and completed it several times. I forget which update finally fixed it for me, but I wonder if that is a factor in the stats
 
So, I admittedly put very, very little time into Forza Motorsport 5, but I've absolutely fallen in love with the song "Lamron" that was added in the Anniversary Update. This is easily my favorite menu song in the game now.

I did the latest open series in R-Class in the Time Attack Starlet. It felt surreal to chase down supercars in a hot hatch, but it was a lot of fun.

The downside is that the car has a fuel tank the size of a teacup and a heavy drinking problem. With a full tank I constantly had about half a lap too little fuel left every race and had to start feathering the throttle and coasting the last lap, after securing a top three position.

Like many others have commented, the AI is what stands out for me in this update (besides the glorious Fujimi ofc!). Still not perfect ofc, but for someone like me, who likes to start from the back, it's so refreshing to not have a destruction derby every race start and being able to run two or three wide with the AI, and be given space, in the corners.
 
I still haven't heard a single new song. Who do you have to give a lotioned up tug job to just to hear these?
I had my game on quick resume on Xbox and the old music was playing. When I quit the game and restarted I got new (old) music.

I've heard a few. It was mentioned that the tracks would play in order before being added to the regular shuffle, but I wouldn't be surprised if that got messed up somewhere.

What I think would help quite a bit is if there was a "jukebox" of some kind in the game. I know that there's no proper race music like FM6 & 7, but it would still be nice to see a list of all the songs and pick and choose which ones you want to hear.

One of the millions of missed opportunities from T10 in this iteration regarding something fairly simple.

The default races with the Starlet are so weird, because it's the Starlet and the Xbox Holden Supercar lol
 
I'm really hoping they give some more focus to free play mode in the next few rounds of updates. Somehow I didn't notice until today there is no fuel multiplier option? Pretty glaring omission but then again I didnt notice until today. Repeating myself but also definitely would also like to see practice/qualifying/grid setting and also a way to specify tire requirements/restrictions. Could be a very powerful mode with these changes in my view.

Related, I was trying to set up a custom Indy 500 in free play with different divisions of open wheel cars and noticed with the formula 70s I needed to adjust the gearbox and trim out the aero to get some top speed on the straights and not bounce off the limiter, but then the AI seem to be stuck with stock gearing/aero and just cant compete even on level 8. Not sure if there is an easy solution to this.

Nope no fuel burn multiplier. You can't even separate fuel burn and tire wear to turn off just one or the other sadly. It would make a huge difference for strategy things when setting up races, especially if they also added a fuel tank size equalizer option.

Tire restrictions would also be amazing, but sadly the voting things for it haven't gained much momentum. Being able to block out the medium tire from use in particular would do a lot for strategy variety. One of the areas GT Sport had figured out that T10 could still learn a lot from is the lobby setup/restriction options for those sorts of things.

Someone on reddit has posted a poem about the next update. From what I can get from it, GT4 rs, Vantage v8 GTE and indycar
If it's legit, then there's some interesting things going on here. Both the GT4 RS and the Vantage GTE are already in the game, but they're both FOMO cars. At that point, I'm thinking either A) They've been released from FOMO jail in some capacity, or B) there's some kind of mix-up and we're actually getting the Cayman GT4 and Vantage GT3 race cars. Imo, I'd be more happy with the latter of the two, as the GT3 Aston in the game is quite old, and the GT4 category is in desperate need of some love.

Indycars would be amazing no matter what.

After rolling this around in my head this morning it could very well be the GT4 RS clubsport from FM7 that's been missing and dodged since launch that would add to the bare bones GT4 class. And the Vantage could be the earlier gen V8 Vantage GTE, like 2016 that has that sweet sounding v8.

...or perhaps the newer version with the 4.0 litre engine and updated aerodynamics. Either way, it would be a welcome addition that would make the GT4 class viable, if still a bit barebones.

As for the V8 Vantage, weren't some pertinent files leaked at some point in the past?

There were files leaked way back and I think it said 2017 V8 Vantage which could have meant the one the standard one or a race one? I don't know. But speaking of leaked files, I remember this from way back when the game first released. There's still some missing...



ALF_11_GiuliettaBTCC_18
AST_98_V8Vantage_17
CAD_57_CTSVTA_18 (TA being Trans Am, like the Challenger we recently got)
CHE_3_CamaroTA_18
CHE_14_Monza_77
CHE_24_Hendrick3rd_17
FOR_22_Penske2nd_17
FOR_98_MustangTA_18
LAN_Delta_92 (potentially just a FH leftover)
LEX_14_RCFGT3_20
MAZ_55_RT24P_18
MCL_01_720SGT3_19
MCL_SennaGTR_19
MER_71_AMGGT3_18

AST_98_V8Vantage_17 would likely be the GTE-spec V8 Vantage that raced in the WEC from 2012 (although arguably from 2008, when it debuted as the Vantage GT2) all the way to 2017, when it was replaced by the Vantage AMR GTE that we got recently. It would certainly make for an interesting addition, although by this point it's a heritage race car (not unlike the 2015 911 RSR).

Where's the source? I've checked r/forza and r/forzahorizon, to no avail.

To make some clarifications:

I've checked the car files on the retail build, and turns out,

"AST_98_V8Vantage_17" is actually the Aston Martin #7 V8 Vantage GT3 based on the livery textures that it came with.

And as of now, what's left in this leaked list include:

ALF_11_GiuliettaBTCC_18
CHE_3_CamaroTA_18
CHE_14_Monza_77
CHE_24_Hendrick3rd_17
FOR_22_Penske2nd_17
MAZ_55_RT24P_18
VOL_C30Polestar_13

I'll post pictures of these cars just to clarify who they are.

(Couldn't find a trans am Camaro from 2018 that had 3 in it's number box, this one is the closest I could find)

(It could be the version with wings or not, it wasn't specified.)

"FOR_22_Penske2nd_17":
(Same thing as the one above)
