Is there still no clarification on TOD and weather?
I'm guessing this dynamic weather stuff is campaign specific and/or an option you can toggle? It looks fun from a "story" perspective, but I sure as shit don't want dynamic weather when I'm trying to hot lap for leaderboard times.

It is sad it will not support VR for PC.

Looks great, but they really need to increase the brightness of the tail lights. Especially on braking
~8 seconds to load the track, awesome.
Absolutely. I'm hoping for a post-release patch at the very least. This is 2017.
Customisable race length in career......what will they complain about now?
So any actual proper details about the Time of Day stuff, cause so far the stuff I've come across has been pretty vague.

Watch around 4:22, weather can be adjusted by the player.Yep it's been really vague. I guess we will have to wait for the demo to find out more. I'm thinking the "dynamic" weather is a string of pre-baked scenarios on certain tracks. I would like to be proven otherwise though.
*Cough* Helios?

Has there been any footage for the standard xb1 or xb1 s?
Hopefully all of the NASCAR benefits are in straight away, which were:
- Rolling Starts.
- Quick Stops (required pitting each race).
- Cosmetic Damage, but Fuel and Tire Wear (this one I really want in!).
- HUD Proximity Arrows (I'm not really bothered, but it's a nice feature).
I really don't want rolling starts, have they said it's standard?

The tires automatically change from being slicks to wets when the weather changes in the game? Please say it isn't so.
I get why they have done this for casual players but for goodness sake, make it optional. Some of us actually want race and tire and pit strategy to be part of the game.

Some of these cars would fly off the track on a wet track.
I hear you though. Options are nice.

There's no way that's true. It would be right up there with auto braking as the ultimate dumbing-down decision.
Does it mean they auto change wilst your driving? Or do you atleast have to pit for them to auto changeI don't udnerstand why they would go through all the bother of implementing a dynamic weather system only to do that? It makes no sense to me.

Yeah select 1080p in the YouTube quality settings
Sound kinda stupid from a motorsport perspective if the tires magically change to wets, but since they also have to cater the casuals, it might be the only way to do it in a standard 3 lap race in career mode.
I'm sure there will be options to change that and have you change tires manually.
The thing with Forza is it's always had a very accessible career for everyone, not just sim fanatics. It's more of a pick up and play game. If they made it so you had to pit stop in every race with weather, I imagine that would annoy more people than those who would prefer it.
It would be nice for it to be an option for higher difficulty though. Or at the very least available in custom races and not the career mode.
Yes I agree. Personally I think there should be 2 career modes. Keep the current one with all it's accessibility, and where it provides 'snaphots' of all the different types of racing.
Then have a simulation season mode or something like that. Where you race all the tracks in a proper league setup, and of course option for full race lengths, qualifying, pit stopping and all the 'difficult' stuff.
And of course keep the quick race, time trial, multiplayer and modding stuff.
