Among other things, the update brings with it new hatchbacks and sedans to kick off the Daily Racer series of events that will run until March.
Developer Turn 10 has released a new update for its sim racing game Forza Motorsport. The update, numbered at 17, brings with it improvements to the Rival select system, updated car audio for a few of the cars, and other fixes. Check out the full patch notes for update 17 below.
Alongside these fixes, the studio has also announced new in-game events, the first of which will be kicking off on February 12. The main focus of these events is to highlight what the studio refers to as Daily Racers. These are essentially meant to be souped up versions of everyday consumer cars, and range from hatchbacks to V8 sedans.
As part of this event, four new cars will be coming to the in-game Showroom: the 2023 Toyota Camry TRD, 2021 Hyundai i20 N, 2022 Toyota GR86, and the 2021 Hyundai #98 Elantra TCR.
The event also brings with it new cars that players can earn by taking part in the Challenge Hub challenges, including the 2021 Toyota Yaris GR, and the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
As for the full event schedule, February 12 to March 26 will have the Modern Hot Hatch event with the 2020 Hyundai i30 N as its spotlight car, February 19 to March 26 will have the Luxury & Horsepower event with the 2022 Cadillac CT5V Blackwing as its spotlight car, February 26 to March 26 will have the RWD Roadsters event with the 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF as its spotlight car, and March 5 to March 26 will have the Battle of Sedans event with the 2022 Hyundai Elantra N as its showcase car.
Completing all four series in the Daily Racers Tour in Career mode before March 26 will allow players to unlock the 2021 Toyota Yaris GR through the Challenge Hub. Players can also get the car by completing 10 races in the Daily Racer Series in the Featured Multiplayer mode.
All of these cars can also be used in the Open Class Tour mode through the Featured tab in Career mode. Open Class Tour allows players to experiment with their favourite cars, allowing for fun upgrades and modifications.
Forza Motorsport is available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
