While the cuts at Microsoft this year have had quite a few effects when it comes to new projects being cancelled, according to developers Turn 10 and Playground Games, support will continue for racing sim Forza Motorsport as well as open-world racing game Forza Horizon 5. In a new post on its official website, Turn 10 has detailed the new content that is coming to Forza Motorsport, this time around focusing on the Track Toys Tour.
The Track Toys Tour has been brought back to Forza Motorsport permanently, and with it, brings back a reward that players only had a chance to get when the tour was first available in the game – the 2019 Porsche #70 Porsche Motorsport 935.
Turn 10 has also confirmed that each month will see another Tour being brought to the game, with September 4 bringing with it the Ringer Tour. This cadence of Tour release will continue until all of the Featured Tours have been returned to Forza Motorsport.
These Tours were previously available on a temporary basis, and while many players had been unable to complete them when they were first available, the studio has stated that these players won’t lose their progress. If, for instance, you were halfway through completing the Ringer Tour, once the Featured Tour comes back in September, you will be able to pick things up right where you left off.
Turn 10 does point out that the rewards associated with the Featured Tours activity can only be earned once. This means that if you, for example, have already finished up the Track Toys Tour and got the Porsche in the past, completing it again will not reward you with a brand new one.
Along with the Featured Tours, new challenges will also be added to the Challenge Hub that will allow players to earn previous Open Class Tour rewards. These challenges are also slated for release at the same monthly cadence as the returning Featured Tours.
For players that might not be familiar with the Track Toys Tour, the Tour is split into four distinct series, with each one focusing on specific vehicles and their races. Series 1, for instance, is dubbed Ginetta Juniors and will have players race around in a 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior. Series 2, on the other hand, will have more options, including the 2016 Porsche Cayman GTS. Series 3 will spotlight the Caterham R500, and Series 4 will wrap things up with purpose-built track cars, like the 2019 Elemental RP1. Finishing all for Series will earn you the 2019 Porsche #70 Porsche Motorsport 935.
September’s Ringer Tour will focus on German-made cars, with its various series featuring vehicles like the BMW M-series cars, the Mercedes-AMG cars, and Audi sport cars, before wrapping things up with a showdown between different drivers behind the wheels of the Porsche 911. Completing the Ringer Tour will earn players the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
Completing some of the new challenges being added to the Challenge Hub can earn players rewards like a 1974 Porsche $1 911 RSR and a 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe.
