Gameplay Upgrades and Improvements

As always with Forza Motorsport updates, the full patch notes runs to 4,000 words. Here's a snapshot to give you the crucial details.

  • Added the ability to Spectate after joining a race in progress in Private Multiplayer.
  • Improved Drivatar AI trailing ability especially in braking zones, making AI less prone to rear ending other cars.
  • Updated multi-car aero model to reduce downforce impact on leading cars, widen the aero wake near the car, smooth transitions near wake edges and reduce drafting induced aero balance changes.
  • Changes to Virginia International Raceway (VIR): Reduced the number of collidable objects on the track; improved grass quality; and tuned road wetness for better consistency.
  • Added a new “Enter Text” button to Livery Editor font menus (all upper and lower letters tabs in the Apply a Vinyl Shape/ Vinyl Select menus), enabling you to type characters with a keyboard or virtual keyboard and automatically create a vinyl group containing those characters for faster creation of numbers, words, names, and phrases.
  • Fixed an issue where Featured Rivals and VIP Rivals events had dynamic rubbering set to 0% by default. It should now be 100% by default.
