On the evening of Monday, 6 November, Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games came together to announce all the new goodies fans can expect for Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5 in November. Here is everything you need to know this month.
In the latest Let’s Play! stream from Microsoft Games, the teams divulged information on the Forza Motorsport Update 2. Including a brand new circuit, several car additions, a selection of Career Mode challenges and the first DLC Car Pass, there is plenty to dive into concerning this controversial game.
A free update for all, the circuit will find itself in Builders Cup events. In fact, even championships and races featuring in the game from the get-go will get shuffled to include the new track.
In fact, for the next 30 weeks, players that spent extra cash on the Car Pass will receive a new car every week. In the latest announcement, Turn 10 has announced the first four. This Fantastic Four will release throughout November and into December. Here are the cars one can expect in the pack this month.
Elsewhere, Forza Motorsport players will also get a number of cars for free over the next months or-so. These will feature as so-called ‘Spotlight Discounts’ in the Autoshow at certain dates. However, they will be available from Day One of Update 2 in Forza Motorsport. Here is the list of eight new FM models.

This addition of new cars is sure to give a new lease of life to the game. However, do not expect these fast cars to upgrade any faster. Whilst last update improved the car levelling grind for tuning, it did not perfect the system. Players are still experiencing long levelling processes when it comes to winning Car XP in Forza Motorsport. It seems Update 2 will not address the issue further, with no mention of the problem in the Game Fixes notes.

This means that fans will get a whole month of motoring Americana in the Playlist rewards and challenges. Furthermore, a new Car Pack will drop alongside the next Forza Horizon 5 update. The four cars among the newest Car Pack are:

However, the biggest news of the American Automotive month is the return of the Stadium’s oval circuit. The month’s update will also include a number of fixes and the addition of two new race routes. As ever, the playlist will include races, challenges, treasure hunts and Rivals events, most definitely making use of the newest circuits.
