Forza Motorsport’s multiplayer allows players to race against other players in public or private lobbies by participating in various events.

All Open & Spec Series Events For Forza Motorsport (January 2024)
Forza Motorsport’s Featured Multiplayer is one of the game’s multiplayer modes where players will compete against 23 players online, for which they must complete the Qualifier Series to unlock. Once unlocked, they’ll have access to two event types, namely Spec Series and Open Series, for which weekly playlist events are available to compete.
Spec Series levels the playing field by letting players race with identical cars pre-tuned by the Forza team. Their success in the Spec Series depends on their driving aptitude and racing skills when participating in races or playlist events.
On the other hand, the Open Series is less restrictive than the Spec Series, where players can bring their car to the race track; however, it should meet the Class requirement for the event. Likewise, the Open Series allows car upgrades and custom-tuned cars to these events, which rotates or refreshes frequently with different Car Classes featured.
Since launch, there have been several Spec and Open Series playlist events, which the developer has made available for players in-game. New race events will begin approximately every half hour, so they don’t need to wait long for a new event to join and compete in.
