@MattP1Tommy Note that Colapinto got a penalty, so he ended up 10th. Also, Albon technically finished, but wasn't classified (didn't complete 90% of a distance, only 55 laps).

I'm bad with Photo Mode, but these cars feel nice (and sound great!)

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

Nice. Though the unfortunate Licencing pickle may make things difficult in the future, but it's nice to be able to enjoy things while they last.

I just learned more - turns out, we actually do NOT have neither Audi sounds, nor Honda sounds! Both engine sound bundles are just copies of Mercedes engine sound bundle.
So the only mistake might actually be Alpine, since the engine sound bundle is different (uncertain yet).

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

Update: I can CONFIRM that there are issues with the wrong Engine Sounds used!
Audi uses MERCEDES engine sounds (lol), Aston Martin uses MERCEDES engine sounds (should be Honda) and Alpine uses RENAULT engine sounds (should be Mercedes, probably).

There is an increasing suspicion that Codemasters may have done yet another oopsie on 2026 DLC release and they "forgot" to update the engine audio data... Which meant that they are still using data from 2025, which means no Ford for RB/Red Bull and no Audi for Audi.

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

I'm still investigating, but it is increasingly likely that the cars just reuse data from 2025... Which means that even Aston Martin is still running Mercedes engine audio, lol. I'll make another message if I find out anything.

Alright, let's go and try out the F1 2026 DLC. https://t.co/T67xAi3oI6

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

And now we wait...

[Reiza Studios @ReizaStudios]

Check out this audio preview featuring some amazing V10 and V8 sounds from the new and updated Formula classes coming in the next #AMS2 update — including the championship-winning Renault R25 and Renault R26 from the 2005 and 2006 seasons!

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

Just to note, I'll try to stream the F1 26 DLC tomorrow, depending on when the update/DLC arrives.

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

Damn, that looks good.

[Reiza Studios @ReizaStudios]

We are thrilled to welcome Renault to #AMS2!

To mark the start of the new partnership in grand style, the championship-winning R25 & R26 as well as the race-wnning R28 will be coming with the next AMS2 update.

More details in our upcoming Dev Update!

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

The work on my Overlay project continues, and I'm at update 15 for the Leaderboard. Jeez.
With a quite hectic work schedule and barely any days off, it has taken quite a while already...

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

What's this? AI Generated Content for F1 25?

Or just weird phrasing...

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

I'd say that's a reasonable price...

🚨 Official prices for the F1 25: 2026 Season Pack/Edition

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

Honestly, as a guy who mostly does his racing on a gamepad AND a guy who actually bought a GameSir G7 Pro recently, I'm rather intrigued by the steering gamepad...

[GameSir @mygamesir]

We're gearing up at full throttle for Forza Horizon 6!

......But to be honest with you, at the current development pace, it looks like we won't make it to completion by the game's release date. Really sorry about that!😭

But the development team is working flat out to deliver the absolute best product possible. So, here's a question for all of you! Between these two controllers, which one catches your eye more? Please let us know in the replies!

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

@BlackGamer86 Yeah, sorry, my message was worded a bit too vaguely (my bad, am at work still, lol)

What I meant is that I'm mildly surprised, I wasn't really expecting it until "next-gen" F1 27 due to potential time constraints

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

At least it's not delayed further. Also it looks like Madring? Interesting...

🚨 F1 25: 2026 Season Pack releases June 3rd, as posted on Steam

[SteamDB @SteamDB]

Forza Horizon 6 was very likely leaked by someone with early access to the build (reviewer or similar).

At around the same time, the file list appeared on SteamDB because someone (could be someone else) used our token dumper. SteamDB does not display or share keys, nor can it provide downloads.

[Mantazzo @mantazzo]

Alright, so this is approximately what exactly happened with Forza Horizon 6 leak. I checked with some others that also understand how SteamDB works, and what I wrote is pretty much accurate.
Do not blame the developers, do not blame SteamDB.
