October Update No. 2

Hidden in the list of news is the October 14 update: http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fh3_october_update2

This update has a lot of performance and stability improvements. It also has quite a few gameplay related changes:

  • Horizon Edition cars that boost either Skills or XP no longer provide a benefit in Online Adventure
  • Fixed an issue where the Perk “The XP Bump” worked in Online Adventure. Now it provides no benefit outside of single player racing
  • Added a 30-second cooldown to the Drift Tap Skill
  • Reduced the amount of XP awarded for banking Skill Chains
  • Reduced 3-Star score target on the following Drift Zones: Mountain Scramble, Mountain Foot, Reservoir, and Gold Mine
  • Previous Horizon Edition cars removed from Wheelspins; new Horizon Edition cars added. The new HE cars are the BAC Mono Horizon Edition , Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Horizon Edition, Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV Horizon Edition, Mercedes C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series Horizon Edition, MG Metro 6R4 Horizon Edition, MINI Cooper S Horizon Edition, and the Subaru Impreza 22B STi Horizon Edition
  • Fixed an issue where the Landmarks stat was incorrectly listed as 21 instead of 19, stopping players reaching 100 percent complete

The first few changes are related to XP grinding and that you could use HE cars online to win because of the boosts. More interesting, perhaps, is that they've removed all the HE cars and put in a new set of them. Some of these I've seen driven by drivatars, but they've not been available. Sounds like some of these HE cars may or may not be rarer than first anticipated?
