"Forza 3 ships with 100 tracks out of the box on day one. However, within each box you will find a redeemable XboxLIVE code to load up even more tracks and cars which will give you a total of 136 tracks off the bat.
However, before we get into the details of the tracks, let’s just take a few minutes to make sure your 360 is a happy little vegimite before rushing on XboxLIVE and downloading any DLC etc.....
Many of these are from Forza 2 (11), but an huge number (13) are also brand new tr..."
"Well it's not that far away now, just a few days away here in Australia, and several car updates from OXCGN until Forza 3 is unleashed onto the gaming public in Europe, Australia and Asia. Followed 5 days later in Nth America.
OXCGN will still be bringing you heaps of news on the game once it is released. Such as tournaments, the formation of various Racing Teams, such as Team OXCGN Racing (slip us an email if you want to join up), User Created Videos from the excellent Video Editor in Fo..."
"orza gamers are basically ’spoilt for choice’ this time around. Sure, some games can tout a higher number of cars, but we must remember, that while Forza 3 ships with 400 cars initially, it already has 2 major DLC waiting for eager owners, which will take the tally up to around 440, and an additional 20 odd tracks to ad to the already huge number out on day one, 100.
Forza 3 has the largest number of racing tracks in any video game todate, with many more heading to the gamers over the nex..."
Earlier today, Microsoft and the Xbox Live Policy and Enforcement team go on a pirate hunt. They are in search for Forza 3 pirates and quickly banning them. The banhammer was announced via twitter and already has been hit with backlash

Competing in world tournaments with other NASCAR racers, either on the big named Ovals or street tracks for something a little bit different . .

"With just TEN DAYS TO GO, here we have more hot cars from Forza 3. While we know all 400 of the cars that will ship on launch day, I’m wondering just how many we will eventually see over the course of the next 18 months in Forza 3.
Forza 2 had Car Packs being release upp to 12 months after its release, and Forza 3 seems to be following that trend, right from the get-go, with the Launch DLC pack that supplys a total of 20 new tracks to the already 100 on off out off the box, and also around..."
"Well finally we have what we have been dying to hear, or read as the case might be. The complete listing of all vehicles for Forza 3 available on release, the complete release listing.
Naturally the listing won’t stop here,. As we already know, the first DLC (downloadable content) will be the Ferrari Pack which will include 20 of the “worlds finest” machines belong to the prancing horses stable. No news as to costs for the DLC packs just yet, but my educated guess would be around the 800MS..."
"With the anticipation of Forza 3 right around the corner Zune and Turn 10 have partnered up to give owners a free car in their garage when they get the game. In TURN 10 STUDIOS BLOG they want to know your top 10 favorite driving songs of all time."
"Dodge fans everywhere will be jumping in their seats with this one. One of the best performing Dodge Viper Competition Coupes to roll around any of the Le Mans and Lite Le Mans tracks is of course the #11 Primetime Team's GT2 - R Dodge Viper Competition Coupe.
Drivers in Forza 3 will have at their disposal a pure breed racing car that is purpose built, but done so at a price that allows many privateers to enter, or 'Weekend Warriors" to compete on an even field. It's a semi-production veh..."
"Forza 3 drift lovers will just go berkoo with this one.
The Time-Attack world record holder, Taniguchi’s ever so slippery CT230R. In Forza 3 you’ll be able to take this slippery-sucker around the 100 odd tracks and see if you can match some of Taniguchi’s own times, as well as set some Forza 3 World Records on the huge Drift Leaderboard which will be set up.
Forza 3 aims to supply the digital racer with several major disciplines, as not everyone likes tail-chasing around the worlds big..."
"Most gamers dealings with the McLaren are somewhat limited and many have really only been familiar with the McLaren F1 in such games as Forza, Forza 2, PGR 3, PGR 4, and several others that have had the rights to use licensed vehicles in their games.
Not many have actually known the real history behind the F1 GTR and the fact that that series only had 100 cars ever built for both sale and use as racing rigs, of which only 28 were ever the F1 GTR’s. What follows will help Forza 3 fans under..."
Mazda has always made a name for its self in racing, OXCGN presents the next car in the line up for Forza 3's vehicle stable with the Dyson Racing Teams #16 Lola B09/86 MZR, one of the smallest, yet most formidable R1 Class vehicles on the track.
Slip over and check out the vehicles details and how it will appear in Forza 3, and the cars real-world details
"Everyone loves a BMW. Well, they are everywhere, and the poor ‘Supercar’ mans entry into a world of semi-elitdome. Or the thrill of driving around town with your top down wanting to be seen in something a little bit different, and be noticed.
I’ve always fancied the BMW Z’s, even since the first in 2002 when the infamous Z3 hit the streets across the globe. Being snaffled up as fast as hotcakes on a Sunday morning in the US.
But there was ’something’ about them at the time that irked ma..."
"The Aston Martin has long been the symbol for superstars, and one of those of course is James Bond. Being a movie star in its own right, the Aston Martin has made an impression wherever it has appeared, be that on the silver screen, on the road, or race tarmac around the world.
And little wonder, especially with its ground trembling grunt and power that can have many other supercars in its class trembling in their collective boots.
In Forza 3 we’ll see the Bell Motorsports present their..."
"Forza 3 is just 4 weeks away from release to the gaming public, and during the next 4 weeks, Turn 10 will be releasing a New car each day (week days) which will include it’s historical details, specifications and a small gallery of images of the vehicle in question.
OXCGN will republish these for all its readers so that they have the details all in one spot, plus we’ll elaborate a little more on each of these vehicles where needed. First off the starting grid for this feature is the exquis..."
"With the demo now live and many Forza 3 nuts circulating around the track in 6 of the different cars, one in each class, many have been hanging out to see what Turn 10 would lay on them next.
Drifting fans will not be disappointed, as the infamous Skyline, of which there are several versions naturally, will grace your screen and be able to be customised to your hearts content.
Here is an superb example of what Forza 3 can deliver in the hands of an expert Drifting team such as Team Blac..."
"Forza 3 lovers will be delighted to know one more of their favourite tracks is returning come October 23rd – 27th when the game is released.
It’s a tight, hard track, but one well worth putting in the effort to master. Plus Honda lovers will be delighted to see the Handa S2000 back onboard for them to go crazy over with liveries, customization, paint and all manner of do-dads.
“Coinciding with this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Turn 10 is proud to reveal that Fujimi Kaido, a fan favorite orig..."
"When I say not a lot for you today, I don’t mean that in a negative way, but more in the size of the update.

This update is the last of the Ferrari Madness Updates for September. Soon Turn 10 will start on one of the one main stables of cars in the game, my money is on either Porsche or BMW, as both of those have extensive..."

2) A video featuring pro race driver RJ De Vera.

"While many games on consoles claim to be simulations, most aren’t. Forza 3 would have to be the closest thing to a real racing simulation than any other game being released currently. I say that even knowing many Sony fans of the excellent Gran Turismo will be jumping up and down swearing profanities left-right and center.
The reason I say ’simulation’ for Forza 3 is because it does simulate as many aspects of the cars in the games as humanly possible.
Not content to use ‘canned’ crash ..."
"Yet another first for Forza 3, the world renowned superstar supercar, The Bugatti Veyron appears in Forza 3.
While the car has never appeared in any computer game in the past, you’ll have the chance to not only drive the 1000 bhp beast, but paint, wheel changes and other personalization one of the worlds most famous supercars

"Well, having just returned home from the Forza 3 Media Event in Sydney’s Lamborghini Showroom, I can now say without a shadow of doubt, that Forza 3 is going to rock many gamers’ boat.
I have over 500 hours invested in Forza 2, and just 4 laps into Forza Motorsport 3 I can already tell that this game is going to eat up a lot more than the hours I’ve spent so far in Forza Motorsport 2.
We are lucky enough to make known for the first time globally that there will be EIGHT V8 Supercars app..."
"We all love a good looking game presentation, and this time, the guys at Turn10 haven’t let us down with the arrival of the Forza 3 Limited Edition pack.
Unlike other Limited Editions which usually are a ‘cover-slip’ which goes over metal tins, which are great, don’t get me wrong, but this time they have opted for something a little more in keeping with “opening up the game” – so to speak.
The game comes with a beautiful book style case that house the 2 discs, booklet, 1 keyrings, 1 2gi..."
"Turn10 and Microsoft have confirmed that U.S. residents shall be getting their hands on Forza Motorsport 3 on October 27th 2009, but Euro fans still are in the dark since no date was set for that region yet. It is estimated that Forza will hit shelves in Australia on October 23rd."
The senior vice president over at EA Games Europe, Patrick Soderlund, had some tough things to say about the competition. While he actually enjoyed Split/Second, he felt that Blur was "completely underwhelming."
However, Polyphony Digital and Turn 10 Studios aren't the only ones who can talk trash. Soderlund didn't have anything to say about PD's Gran Turismo 5. However, he did say this about Forza: “Forza, I’m very confident we have a better game than them to be honest." Let's see if EA c...
"E3 2009 has come and gone, leaving delicious trailers and tons of information for Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 and Turn 10's Forza Motorsport 3 racing sims in its wake. It looks like it's time for the digital drag race to begin anew.
Will the winner be GT5, with its new WRC and NASCAR modes, or scrappy Forza 3, with its in-depth customization options and more flexible difficulty levels? Sure, you could just get both and have double the fun, but only one can be the best. Check out the..."
""We live in a very competitive world, and this is apparent in the video game industry where publishers and developers are constantly trying to get a leg up on their competition, whether it’s through clever marketing or brilliant feats of engineering. But what is NOT acceptable is when a publisher or developer uses bribes to gain an advantage. Che Chou, the community manager at Turn 10, has done exactly this, and we feel compelled to inform our readers about the dishonest tactics that the Forz..."
""Che Chou of Turn 10 Studios, developers of the Forza Motorsport series for Xbox 360, made a pretty underhanded criticism that certainly won’t hold over well with fans of the Gran Turismo series. While it’s standard for developers to try out each other’s games and swap information at trade shows, Turn 10 seemed particularly sensitive about Polyphony Digital showing up to the Forza booth at E3 2009.""
"Fanatec®, a leading brand of high-end input devices for game consoles and PCs, today announced that its lineup of Porsche® 911 Turbo S Racing Wheels for Xbox® 360™, which are offered in three different versions (911 Turbo S Edition, Clubsport Edition, and Pure Edition), will be fully supported by Microsoft for its soon to be released Xbox 360 title, Forza Motorsport 3.
