Forza Motorsport Update 11.0 Released With Patch Notes

Forza Motorsport Update 11 brings back an iconic race track.

By Ricky Frech

While many fans are looking forward to hearing about what's coming next for the Forza series, the developers at Turn 10 Studios are still working hard to bring new updates to Forza Motorsport. The franchise reboot was mostly a return to form after Motorsport 7 was a major disappointment for the community. That said, there are several lingering bugs and a few progression issues that led fans to post negative reviews on Steam. Fortunately, Turn 10 has released several major updates to improve those aspects. Recently, the team dropped the eleventh major update, adding an iconic track back into Forza Motorsport.

Update 11 brings back the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta Circuit. The fan-favorite track was first featured in Racing Destruction Set, a 1985 Commodore 64 game, but has been in nearly every Forza Motorsport game since the franchise launched. The team has also dropped a new Featured Tour race that's available until September 25th. During that period, players will be able to earn new cars like the 2018 Aston Martin #97 AMR Vantage GTE and the 1998 Nissan #23 Pennzoil NISMO Skyline GT-R. 

Below, you'll find the full patch notes for Update 11.0. Forza Motorsport is available now on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
