By way of a story of feelings, Turn 10 Studios released the 2025 Chevrolet and Honda IndyCars in Forza Motorsport, and the racing community… well, a story of feelings. The cars are now in the showroom, ready to be raced in the blocks of IndyCar Series Featured Multiplayer events. For many, the new metal is totally cool in their books. However, equally in tune with all this fuss are those who are simply using this as yet another chip on which to air all of their Forza grievances. Classic gamer moment.
To begin, the cars look sick. The 2025 IndyCars got that new windscreen design being slowly adopted in the real world (remember: shoutout to @BuddersTheOne who asked, “Since when did IndyCars have windscreens?”-brother has been under a rock since 2020!). Handling, in the reports, is tight, with @PCRepair5 having already thrown down a custom tune for the Honda in the marketplace, calling it “good tuning options.” Contrastingly, @Rob3on777 rants on about loving them but pleading for a proper T-cam view like the one we got in F1 games.
And that’s where the mess begins. The reply section quickly turned into a full-blown therapy show. @BrunoOficialONE rants about race payouts (“1h race to win 80k sucks”) while @iLoqiiCz cannot even play online because of those endless “multiplayer unavailable” errors. Then, there are the remarks from @TheHowlingBrown, equating the game to “standing in line for a closed shop” after the recent layoffs at Turn 10 by Microsoft.
Speaking of layoffs, @Yorchspeed threw down some serious stuff in the reply thread: “A month ago MS laid off half of T10 employees, including the audio lead and almost all the modeling team.” This stirred up concerns for upcoming content updates, though @FatalPhantom399 swiftly shut down those claims: “When idiots say this game is dead but content keeps coming.” The drama!
And then comes the arrival of the wishlist mob, @TheMitchF1 wants Super GT cars, and @NGoetia begs for a Hennessey Venom F5: “I wanna blast down the Le Mans straight at 300 mph.” Meanwhile, @ALRaptor97 calls on people to rally for LMH prototypes to race alongside the current LMDh cars. And @Dtrainboy just made a casual demand: “Bring Forza 4 and Motorsport to PlayStation!” Yeah, that’s ever going to happen.
Which leads us to that moment: @3atm3tvitter refuses to race until those “child r@pe flags” get removed from drivatar cars, which… huh? Even @___subatomic___ asking “The American flag?” as a reply didn’t clear things up. Internets will internets.
Despite all madness, the official Forza Motorsport account recently acknowledged ongoing support, assuring that “Turn 10 will continue to support Forza Motorsport” alongside Playground Games doing Horizon 5. So, the players do have complaints to bear, but new IndyCars are telling us that content is still being put out anyhow. The question now: are they going to cut it for hardcore sim racers remains down to further discussion, least of all with @JCole360 mentioning that we still technically don’t have “proper factory ABS and TC settings for GT3 cars.”
And at the end, any time is a fantastic time to mix fresh cars in together, while performers are on the knife edge between deciding whether the glass is half full or totally shattered on pit lane pavement. The 2025 IndyCars are already in the hands of anyone wishing to just put pedal to the metal and dislike all of the drama all the way. Just maybe don’t look anywhere near the replies.
