New Forza Motorsport update is just as generous as the previous one
Forza Motorsport continues to be improved with numerous cars, most of them new to the series. Today's Update 18 adds such technological marvels to the game as the latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Lamborghini Revuelto, SC63, and Countach LPI 800-4.
Turn 10 studio is on a roll. Although the updates released since December lack tracks and new gameplay features (this is supposed to change in May), the Forza Motorsport developer at least continues to spoil us with cars. The recently released Patch 18 isn't inferior to the previous one in of the number of added cars, and it sures it in of quality. It includes more models that should appeal to a wide range of players and car fans.

Changes in Patch 18, Update 19
Unfortunately, just like in the previous two updates, in Patch 18 there are very few new features besides cars. The biggest changes are:
- improvement of matchmaking for more full lobbies in the recommended Featured Multiplayer;
- extension of "short" races from 8 to 10 minutes in the above mode;
- adding a counter and lap times to the interface in events, where the length is determined by the number of minutes, not laps;
- improvement of sound for three cars: 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia, 1998 Toyota Supra RZ, and 2020 Toyota GR Supra. The updates for the Toyota models were supposed to be implemented in the February Update 17, but they "got lost" along the way.
On the Forza page, there is a full list of changes. We can expect the next update in four weeks - it will most likely be released on April 7th. It will be dedicated to the Porsche brand, with a particular emphasis on the icons of its motorsport division.
