Forza 8

https://www.pcinvasion.com/forza-motorsport-8-confirmed-new-details/

(What's unsaid may be more important than what was said and that is there can't be 2 Creative Game Directors.  This appears to be an unspoken slip that former Creative Game Director Dan Greenawalt is moving on, finally.  Why?  Because as mentioned there is a new Creative Game Director named Chris Esaki.)


It would make sense for Greenawalt to move on to greener pastures. The history of Forza as it currently is has run its course with him at the helm.  This is great news for the fans of Forza!  With a new Creative Director, a new direction will take place steering Forza to a new experience having more to do with racing features than apparel and so called "car culture" hopefully.

Will Forza 8 require the new "XBOX ONE Series X"?

Will we need to buy new racing wheels?

Yes you will need a new box and may need a new wheel but we don't know about needing a new wheel yet.

Anyone else as jealous as I am about people who are able to race in Grand Turismo Sport?

I've been watching some GTS streams lately and its unbelievable how good their HUD is compared to FM7. The amount of data those drivers get to look at on GTS is miles beyond what we get to see on FM7. The HUD in GTS only helps make their racing so much better.

During the race GTS drivers get to see/use:
- Entire leaderboard
- All their lap times, not just your best.
- Sector times with fastest sector.
- The entire track map with every driver location.
- Fuel consumption with ability to change mixture.
- Change tire compounds during the race.
- Radar showing where cars are located around you.

I really hope FM(8) is taking notes...

Cool

Forza 1 has the lap time of each lap. Plus the Tunes could be downloaded and you could what the build was. lol

Where do we go to race around in circles?? Like the old days of Forza 3. I’ll have to go bail Bogaf out of jail probably. Tom you’re still ticking?!? You were an ol man like 15 years ago. I was talking with someone the other day about our old oval racing days and I had to go back and try to find all my login info for this site. Those were the days lol. Glad to see y’all are still going here.

Good to hear from you! We will be visiting the ovals this season and in seasons to come. Sign-up and we'll get you on a team if you don't have one.
