Forza Motorsport Update 4 introduces the prestigious Daytona International Speedway – a truly iconic racetrack known for its engineering marvels. In the meantime, a new “Italian Challengers Featured Tour” invites you to build four cornerstones of Italy’s automotive heritage! Let’s dive into the details.
Update 4 will be available to download on Xbox Series starting Tuesday, January 16th
On Tuesday we will announce details about the fixes included in Update 4. This release focuses on new content and events and only contains minor fixes to car and track content compared to our previous updates. Work is underway on game fixes to address key community issues – look out for further improvements in Update 5 and beyond.
New track – Daytona
Daytona International Speedway is a historic, world-famous track with banked, high-speed corners and features two different layouts in Forza Motorsport. Master the 2.5-mile high-speed tri-oval circuit and the more technical 3.59-mile Sports Car Circuit.
Compete on both tracks in Career Mode and Featured Multiplayer, set your fastest lap times in any vehicle class in Time Attack, or enjoy a day of racing at Daytona, either alone or with your friends in Free Play and Private Multiplayer. We will also host a special multiplayer Daytona Sports Car Series to recreate the excitement of the legendary race weekend.
Daytona International Speedway was built in 1959 by NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., who wanted to create a track faster than any other in the world. Since then, several races have been held here, including the annual Daytona 500 as well as IndyCar and IMSA. The track was renovated in 2016 and has 101,500 seats, making it one of the largest stadiums in the United States!
With the release of Update 4, select existing Builders Cup series will be updated to include Daytona, Hockenheim and Yas Marina.
