Forza Motorsport Update 9 Patch Notes

Forza Motorsport Endurance Month is here and the full patch notes have been released by Developers Turn 10!

Forza Motorsport is receiving monthly updates full of new content and that hasn't changed for Update 9. June 2024 brings an emphasis on Endurance Racing, thanks to the 24 Hours of Le Mans taking place later this month.

Here's all the patch notes and everything included in Forza Motorsport's Endurance Month!

Forza Motorsport Endurance Month

There's a lot of content included in Update 9 of Forza Motorsport, but we'll do our best to summarize it all here. There's a new car added to the game in the form of the 2024 Porsche #5 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963.

There's a new circuit to race this car around, none other than the incredible Sebring. There's also new racing suits to look the part and a whole host of new events to try out.

While a lot of these new events are centered around endurance racing, there's also events based around Featured Rivals to try out too.

We can't forget about the discounts for VIPs, nor the Spotlight Cars either, both of which will be running through the next four weeks.

Multiplayer Events

The Endurance Series in Featured Multiplayer ratchets up the strategy and focus of the most competitive drivers for up to 1 hour per race.

With a different division each week, these races will require a renewed focus on strategies around pitting, tire compounds, and fuel levels.

We’re also permanently adding 30-minute-long races to the event rotation within both the Forza Touring Car and Forza GT Series. Going forward, the length of these evergreen Spec Series will cycle between ‘Short,’ ‘Medium’ and the new ‘Long’ races. The Nürburgring Nordschleife and Full Circuit layouts have also been included in the event rotation for Long races in Featured Multiplayer.
