With Forza 3 just around the corner, OXCGN takes a good look at one of the up-and-coming racing disciplines which will be featured in the game.

Details on the genre, interview with one of the leading Drag Racing sites, and lots of tantalising images, both in-game and real-world.

Slip over now and check it out, the next in the series for Forza 3 from OXCGN

One of the biggest things many Forza fans loved in Forza 2 was Drag Racing at the excellent track called Copper Head. Well this time, we have 8 lanes of drag racing in Forza 3 and it will be at the ex-Marine Corps El Toro Air Base in California, “The Benchmark High Speed Ring”.

Yes yes, I know, Drag Racing is typically one-on-one tyre smokin’, big screamin’ motor mayhem, but to give everyone a fair go, and not have waiting ques as long as the eye can see, Turn 10 have made it so you can have as many as 8 cars racing the Magic Quarter Mile to see just who can pip the cherry and arrive at the other end first.

Whether or not this is a good, or bad thing is up to time to tell. My personal view is that drag racing has always been between two people, with their reaction time to the Christmas Tree being the golden rule of Launch Mechanics.
