A new ranked element is due to be included in Forza Motorsport when the title by Turn 10 Studios releases in October of 2023. Featured Multiplayer Matchmaking events will be sorted by the new system, which is being called Forza Race Regulations, or FRR for short.
These regulations will include a Driver Rating, which includes a Safety Rating score and a Skill Rating number. That all combines to give players a numerical Driver Level.
Forza Motorsport Creative Director Chris Esaki sat down on Forza Monthly on Friday (11th August) to explain the new system and how it will change multiplayer modes in Motorsport for the better.
Stay Safe, drivers
A welcomed sight to Forza Motorsport is a Driver Safety Rating score. Similarly to most other online multiplayer racing titles, how a player drivers will affect how a player is ranked in terms of their safety. Those who engage in Track Cutting or Intentional Collisions will find themselves more lowly ranked than those who keep it on track.
The safest drivers score at the ‘S’ rank and those who disregard everything will be ranked at ‘F’, with letter grades ‘A’ through ‘E’ also listed. Esaki spoke broadly on the subject, but did note that the system will evolve as time goes on with new types of incidents added into the programming. Esaki notes that “players will receive penalties and race disqualifications based on the severity of incidents.”
Because of the new system for detecting these safety measures, specifically the course cutting and track limits addition, that means that courses will have more of a realistic setting. Those unrealistic tire walls and barriers have been removed and more realistic track limits are put into place for a more authentic experience.
