Update 4 of Forza Motorsport is live, so here is everything that was added with the update, as well as full patch notes detailing all the bug fixes and improvements.

The fourth major update for Forza Motorsport, Update 4, is now live. Similar to previous massive updates Microsoft’s serious racer has received, it’ll fix many bugs and add new content.

Turn 10 Studios highlighted that Update 4 won’t touch on some of the biggest criticisms, like AI and grinding, having already issued a statement on it recently. But there are still plenty of changes coming to Forza Motorsport, including the release of a brand-new racetrack.

So, here’s everything added with Update 4 of Forza Motorsport.
