Forza Motorsport Update 9.0 Release Notes – June 10, 2024
Forza Motorsport Update 9, Endurance Month, celebrates the tenacity and focus of one of the most unique racing formats in motorsport history with new endurance races, a debut car, and one of the most iconic endurance racing tracks in the world, Sebring.
Suit up and drive like a member of the Porsche 2024 endurance racing team with the 2024 Porsche #5 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963 and Porsche Racing Suit.
Today’s update also brings improvements to endurance mainstay tracks Laguna Seca and Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Below is a summary of new content and features, and items fixed or improved in Update 9. The list of changes in this version is lighter compared to previous updates as we work towards additional improvements to be released during the summer.
In the meantime, we wanted to let you know that we are looking into an issue where shift times can be slightly different based on your monitor refresh rate and PC framerate. The community has provided useful data to help us investigate this problem, and we expect to have it resolved in an upcoming release. In the future, PC players will also receive an option to disable TAA and an updated VRAM estimator. Stay tuned for details on when these updates roll out into the game.
Also, we continue to investigate a bug where many existing and shared livery designs inadvertently appear with matte decals following the addition of the Vinyl Material feature in the previous update. Work on this fix remains ongoing and we will let you know once it’s ready to be released.

The Endurance Series in Featured Multiplayer ratchets up the strategy and focus of the most competitive drivers for up to 1 hour per race.
With a different division each week, these races will require a renewed focus on strategies around pitting, tire compounds, and fuel levels.
We’re also permanently adding 30-minute-long races to the event rotation within both the Forza Touring Car and Forza GT Series. Going forward, the length of these evergreen Spec Series will cycle between ‘Short,’ ‘Medium’ and the new ‘Long’ races. The Nürburgring Nordschleife and Full Circuit layouts have also been included in the event rotation for Long races in Featured Multiplayer.
