Unlike previous Forza Motorsport games that employed only one point of tire contact, the new game will get eight. This allows tires to find grip on uneven surfaces like bumps, curbs, and rumble strips, meaning you get the full use of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires on your Corvette Z06.
Players can likewise choose various tire types for their cars. These are divided into five categories: wet, drag, race, performance, and street. Race tires then have sub-types: soft, medium, and hard. Like in real-life racing, softs will offer the most grip but wear out the fastest.
It isn’t all positive, though, as Esaki also has bad news: the game’s drag and drift modes won’t be available at the time of release. However, the related parts will be available from the get-go via the game’s extensive car-building feature. As such, a player can still test them out on a private “meetup lobby.”
Forza Motorsport 8 is coming to the PC and Xbox on October 10, 2023. We’re particularly excited since Turn 10’s continuous updates and tidbits hint that this game is going to be a banger.
