We’ve addressed a game exploit whereby players could use Forza Edition cars to gain unrealistic leveling and rewards. In the interest of maintaining game balance, we have instituted rewards changes for all Forza Edition cars, replacing flat XP secondary rewards with a percentage-based credit (CR) reward. With this update, all Forza Edition cars will offer a primary percentage CR reward and a secondary conditional percentage CR reward. All VIP Forza Edition cars will now offer a primary +50% CR reward and a secondary conditional +50% CR reward. For example, the 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R Forza Edition previously offered a primary CR reward of +25% and a secondary flat +5,000 XP award after 3 good drifts in a race. With this update, the Silvia now offers a primary reward of +25% CR and a secondary reward of +25% CR after 3 good drifts in a race. As a further example, the 2014 BMW M4 Coupe Forza Edition (a VIP FE car) previously offered a primary +40% CR reward and a secondary flat +10,000 XP reward at the Nürburgring. With the update, the BMW now offers a primary +50% CR reward and a secondary +50% CR reward at the Nürburgring.

Starting on December 1, that four-car gift and the credit bonus will end for new VIPs. New Forza Motorsport 7 VIP members will still be able to enjoy the benefits of VIP membership in Forza 7, including that 2X base rewards bonus feature, five Forza Edition cars included with VIP membership, and more.

Since Forza Motorsport 7 launched into early access last week, everyone here at Turn 10 has been keeping a close eye on our players’ feedback. The most important thing to us is to maintain open communication with the Forza Community. We’ve heard what you have had to say and, starting today, you can expect some significant changes.

VIP and Ultimate
Over the weekend we heard loud and clear from Ultimate Edition owners expressing frustration over the VIP membership offer in Forza Motorsport 7. We immediately updated the VIP description in the Windows Store to alleviate any future confusion. As head of the studio, I apologize for any confusion or frustration our players may have experienced.

Going forward, we will continue to ensure that Forza Motorsport 7 VIPs receive the most value for their VIP membership, including new experiences and great content. Starting today we’re sending all Forza Motorsport 7 VIPs three additional Forza Edition cars:

2016 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 Forza Edition
2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Forza Edition
2010 Maserati Gran Turismo S Forza Edition

Forza 7 VIPs will be able to download all these cars from the in-game message center and add them to their car collection. Players will not only enjoy an immediate bump to their Car Collection score after adding these Tier 5 Legendary cars to their garages, they’ll also be able to take advantage of the inherent perks that each of these Forza Edition cars offer. In addition to the cars, we’re also sending all Forza 7 VIPs 1 million credits.

Secondly, and even more significantly, we will be changing VIP rewards in Forza Motorsport 7. This new system will work like it did in Forza Motorsport 6, offering a 2X base credit bonus after every race. We’ve already started work on this feature and we will release it as soon as possible. Look for more information on this update as we near the release date.

I thought the VIP cars were monthly gifts. You might be thinking of the day one car pack and in that case they haven't revealed it yet.

How many 100% CR bonus Mods? or is it a permanent bonus?

Any news on day one cars?

I don't see the point in the VIP pass any longer. There was a time in past entries into the franchise where it was worth it but now it seems like it's just milking money from players and not offering much in return.

I feel the same in many ways. The extra CR and XP can be nice but it's not essential for me especially considering I spend thousands of hours on the game anyway and it's been relatively easy to earn money in Forza titles since the economy patch in FM5.

It's a bit hit and miss whether I buy the VIP car pack. Forza 6 had a few cars I really liked in there like the McLaren F1, Veneno and 458S and FH3 had the Regera and a few others too. This year round, I'm not sure if there's any honestly.

Do you lot not read it states 5 exclusive HE cars

So to me this means that those 5 HE cars are for VIP only, now it would have been nice to let us know what the bonus is for using them like 2x credits or mabey 2.5x credits, could be a pack leader perk start at the front, at the moment it is a stab in the dark what the perk is.

is it confirmed that the vip pass will give you the FE cars listed above (camaro gtr RAM)?

If so it would be nice that it's a vip only perk and that you won't be able to earn them through forzathons and such.

Exclusive Forza Edition cars include the 2012 Nissan GT-R Black Edition, the 2014 BMW M4 Coupe, the 1969 Camaro Super Sport Coupe, the 2013 Ram Runner, and the 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth.

I also can't see them giving the cars exclusive bonuses as that would increase a lot of the pay2win complaints the VIP pack has always been subjected to.
