Forza Motorsport | Update 9 fügt Porsche 963 und Sebring hinzu

Während sich das vorherige Update 8 auf "Track Toys" konzentrierte, betont Forza Motorsport Update 9 den "Track"-Teil noch mehr. Nicht nur der Sebring International Raceway kehrt in die Streckenliste zurück, sondern auch der Tabellenführer der IMSA und der WEC, der Porsche 963, kommt in das Spiel - inklusive Porsche Racing Overall.

Die beiden letztgenannten Fahrzeuge werden als kostenpflichtiger DLC zum Preis von €4,99 erhältlich sein, allerdings erst ab dem 20. Juni. Davor können Spieler die "Porsche Combo" bis zum 19. Juni, 23:59 UTC, völlig kostenlos erhalten. Sie ist nicht Teil des Car Pass oder einer der Editionen des Spiels.

Das Auto wird auch mit einem entsprechenden Spielplatz geliefert. Natürlich ist Le Mans bereits in Forza Motorsport enthalten, aber Sebring war es bisher nicht. Der Austragungsort ist Teil des IMSA-Kalenders und markiert auch den WEC-Saisonauftakt 2023 - der 963 nahm an beiden Veranstaltungen teil. Sebring ist bekannt für seine harten Bodenwellen und ist auch der Austragungsort des jährlichen 12-Stunden-Rennens, das erstmals 1950 stattfand.

Außerdem sind die Multiplayer-Events jetzt bis zu einer Stunde lang, und die 30-minütigen Events sind jetzt Teil der Touring Car- und GT-Playlists. Zusätzlich können die Spieler 45-minütige Einzelspieler-Events bestreiten. Als Belohnung für den Abschluss der Endurance Tour erhalten die Spieler den neuen Nissan R88C und für den Abschluss der Open Class Tour den Chevron B16.

Nürburgring-Nordschleife mit aktualisierten Randsteinen

Neben den neuen Inhalten wurden auch bestehende Strecken überarbeitet, vor allem die Nürburgring-Nordschleife und Laguna Seca. Während sich bei letzterer die Boxenausfahrt nun an der richtigen Stelle befindet, wurden bei der Grünen Hölle die Randsteine entsprechend den realen Änderungen zwischen den Saisons 2023 und 2024 überarbeitet.

Das bedeutet, dass bei der Fuchsröhre in Richtung Adenauer Forst Vorsicht geboten ist. Die letzte schnelle Linkskurve, direkt nach der Kompression, war in der Vergangenheit sehr einladend für Kerb-Cutter - jetzt ist der Rüttelstreifen deutlich höher, so dass es wichtig ist, ihn zu meiden und eine andere Linie zu wählen.

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.
