EDIT: The January 15 content update for FM7 only includes the Barrett-Jackson Car Pack and the free Spotlight car. The Porsche 992 shown in the #ForzaMonthly promo image was only for FH4:

which Porsche is that, could it be a spotlight car? any idea what else is coming in next weeks update?

I believe thats the new 992 Carrera.
if it is the new spotlight car thats awesome!

Coooool.

I'm always eager to hear what Chris Esaki has to say. New features for FM7, the better.

Please be drafting changes and headlight at night fix.

Also, please don't be a 911 spotlight car for FM7. Hoping it's for FH4 and we actually get something interesting for FM7.

Seems the "deal with Porsche" Phil Spencer revealed at E3 2017 is starting to bear its fruits... We're getting the new releases ahead of everyone else. Happened with the 2018 GT2 RS and the 2019 GT3 RS.

In the GT3 RS' case I thought it was a bit unfortunate that the car came out so quickly, because the version we have in the game is not the Weissach package with the cool stripes and magnesium wheels. Not even as upgradable parts.

Either way, this new Carrera is extremely capable out of the box and will be a great addition to either of the two games.

Today's stream will cover:

• January Spotlight car
  
• Player Events
  
• Community Choice Rivals Poll
  
• January Car Pack
  
• Photo Contest

The free Spotlight car will be the Audi #1 RS 3 LMS. The car will be featured in a Rivals event at Dubai. The event goes live on Tuesday, and all participants will receive an Audi gift car (non DLC) TBA:

No Porsche, or have i missed something?

Nope. That Porsche is going to FH4, we are getting a free touring car Audi. And no word on what's coming with the update, overall it was a crappy forza monthly.

i thought so, never mind looks like FH4 gets the best cars, again.

I wouldn't count on much coming with this update, or any future updates for this matter. Seems that everyone has moved onto FH4.

No Porsche for us?? Wow....ok....so Manteomax's post here with the big picture of the car was misleading.

Misleading you say, this seems to be happening more and more with FM7, inappropriate car packs that belong in a sega amusement sonic arcade game, mis leading info ie Porsche. Hope we get a decent MOTORSPORT pack soon.

Don't hold your breath...they already announced that the halfhearted "Barrett-Jackson Car Pack" is the last one.

Last one with car pass ?

Yeah I'm done trusting them.

Welcome to life as T10/MS player. Maybe one day they will improve their treatment of FM players (customers - $$) by upgrading us to illegitimate red-head step child status...

I see a PS4 in my future... Anyone know if a TMX Pro will work on PS4 and GTS?

Edit: Never mind. Just looked up on TM site, and it's PC/XBox only. So I have to get another wheel setup. I wonder what the used market is for X1 and TMX Pro.

For sure the last one with car pass...probably the last one for good considering how long it took to release it.

So, no Porsche 992 for Forza 7 ?? 🥺

As soon as I knew Chris wasn't there I knew there would be no race regulations update. Its becoming a joke that there has been no definite date of release for them.

Same they always go quiet instead of just keeping us updated.
I can live with a 3 month release date for race regulations it's the not knowing thats frustrating.

I mean the RS3 LMS is nice and all, but how is it any different to the S3 NGTC? different under the skin, quite different actually but both do the same lap time.

Well, that's the point of Homologation, isn't it? It's useless anyway as there is no Touring hopper... They should put someone more passionate about motorsport in place of that lady who makes hopper decisions. Terrible, unbalanced, not relevant track selections, AWD drift hoppers [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D], cringe worthy division hoppers, mini games (????) , while there is only ONE (1) hopper actually related to motorsport and not road racing (Forza GT) and still it has awful track selection, standing start, and lap count instead of time frame. Give us permanent Group C endurance, touring, multi-class modern endurance, okay even NASCAR (hate it but can't disrespect), in place of weird 60s hatches division hoppers give us different spec divisions every week like Radical, Formula Mazda, Formula Ford, not hot rods. Come on!
