Thing was, though- the Hot Wheels cars in FM were real cars. Custom hot rods based on a model rather than the other way around but real, driving, show cars. The Fallout car in FM6 was fictional but not the Hot Wheels.

The amusing part is that even GTA's designers stopped caring about making up cars, & just straight up copy the real thing.
They still have some GTA "charm", but if you look up the Remus or ZR350, it's about as close you could probably get legally before calling them a Nissan & a Mazda.

They did make a fantasy GT500-esque version of the Hyundai Genesis:
I was fine with it, pretty cool car.
As for totally made-up cars... I don't want them pumping out unlicensed knock-off replacements for Camaros and Supras and etc, but single-make spec prototypes or open wheel or whatever for "junior formulae" and stuff? As long as the resulting car is fairly plausible and fun to drive, then go for it as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't care less whether I'm driving a real Formula Ford, or a Formula whatever the hell brand wants to put their engine in it, or just a "Formula Forza." If it's the kinda thing you have to Google to find out whether it's real or not, then it would be less jarring than the Bone Shaker and stuff, even if that was a "real" vehicle.
Could actually be a really interesting thing to see their creativity with either making their own cars or just making their own fantasy racing spec version of cars. Besides the Genesis, I think we got a little taste of the latter with some of the Forza Edition cars starting in FM7. Some like the ATS-V and C63 with their similar style widebody kits ended up kinda ugly, but ones like the cool widebody '87 Trans Am and E30 M3 looked plenty realistic enough for me.
Even stuff like iRacing has the fantasy Dallara iR-01, RaceRoom has the Silhoutte Series, Formula RR variants, and DMD/Mistral prototypes, AMS2 has its "Formula Vintage" and so on cars. If it's good enough for them then I don't see why it would be ridiculous in Forza.

not directly said besides the parternship announcement, but in the last 2-3 years or so we had only formula e official content on trackmania or asphalt
So by logic, we can assume that they had done a exclusivity or something simillar
Funnly enough, there has some nice fantasy EVs racing concepts made for HotWheels
i wish Forza had racing-concepts based on real cars like GT´s F1000 and some of GR.4 cars, not just outside but inside of them as well

I'd be quite happy for them to curate a totally fictional GT4 series, the cars are already there, bring together a bunch of wide-bodied cars, have a community competition to provide some fictional default liveries, then get the insiders together to build a BoP for them. Don't even need to make the cars fictional GT4 versions, just configure them with in-game upgrades.They did make a fantasy GT500-esque version of the Hyundai Genesis:

The Bad to the Blade would really fit this game and would make for exciting one-make battles.

I'm liking the massive career improvement, and pretty much it brought back a lot of decent Hard-to-Finds, and 2 ways to get the R33 GT500

Not a bad update at all especially for career mode players like me, and seems like FOMO has finally been squashed. While I do like that we are getting the current gen Indycars as new cars, it seems like there will still be a continuous lack of a good number new to Forza cars for the foreseeable future. That's the only let down I see and it sucks when there's so many more cars they can tap into even just 3-5 more per update would be a nice jump from the usual two.

champions cup sounds fantastic, exactly the type of single player content I am looking for, and no time limitation.
glad to see featured tours return, I suppose monthly is a decent pace rather than unlocking all at once, may be annoying if you are waiting for a specific tour or reward car
as someone who usually ignores rivals I do like the idea of the open division rivals, potential alternative to the open class tour for getting a car tuned.
I'm glad to see meetups and other multiplayer aspects of the game are getting continued attention and expansion, but I do notice the absence of any mention of free play mode in this update post. I'm sure it will get some focus eventually, cannot complain after all the attention they have given to other parts of the game.
Excited to try the indycars, and hopeful they will be popular enough that they consider some historic american open wheel racers for future updates.

One can dream, either would be incredible in this game.
Just poking around the career page after updating the game is putting a smile on my face seeing both new and returning tours and events. As expected they are making us work to get to the good stuff like indycar and GTP events. Nothing unreasonable though.

Just to confirm, the returning Featured Tours will be permanent additions and won't rotate out as before, as it's not stated here.
To be honest this contains about 90% of what I've been hoping for. I have only one teensy weensy concern as to whether other new Featured Tours will be coming from update 22 onwards, as there's no indication either way. It would be disappointing if only repeated tours were added going forward, more so I suspect for those who already have the FOMO cars.

Freeplay really needs some love next. With the multiple changes and features added to mupltiplayer, some of those should make their way to freeplay. Grid ordering which has been heavily requested since FM6, challenge the grid like in career mode, further manual adjustments to AI cars like drag, downforce, grip etc, fuel usage multiplier, rolling start timers per bucket, being able to choose stock or modified AI cars to race up against, and different livery choices for them too.
There were seemingly plans many games ago for a big list of historic Indy 500 winners from 1923 to 2007 (plus a couple of notable non-winners like the W154), but the only mid-90s car among them was the Penske PC-23 with the pushrod Mercedes engine. Only about half were released in the end, over a long period of time.
