V8 Supercars in Forza 3

[gavkiwi]

I was on the fence re: Forza 3, but with the inclusion of 8 V8 Supercars for its release, lets just say I am more than tempted now. Shame its only 8, but just imagine the possibilities if a white Holden or Ford template is able to be painted in the paint shop.

[ALEXZANDER]

I really dont like the way Forza games look, The lighting, textures, it just isnt how i like games to look, but i will probably but Forza 3 anyway.

[ravenmorpheus2k]

Oooh sounds good. It's only 2 cars though, Holden Commodore (or do they use the Monaro now?) or Ford Falcon, but with 8 liveries.

But yeah this'll be great if you can paint them.

[gavkiwi]

Its the commodore & the falcon

[BYF1]

Having only 8 car grids is a big let down for me especially considering Le Mans is in FM3.

[hoboholic]

Wait.....they are gonna have V8s?
HOLY CRAP!!

Any screens of this?

sounds like R07 main problem .

[hoboholic]

Yeah R07 didn't look the BEST, but it looked pretty good on my PC and I dont have a top of the line one. Graphics dont bother me too much, im happy to have a slightly distorted texture to be able to play a game smoothly.

And I still wanna know more about this news of V8s for Forza 3 :D

Found the V8 Supercars.com link...

"Eight V8 Supercars will appear in the upcoming blockbuster game Forza Motorsport 3, which is exclusive to Xbox.
The #2 Toll Holden Racing Team, #33 Garry Rogers Motorsport, #39 Supercheap Auto Racing and #51 Sprint Gas Racing Commodores along with the #1 TeamVodafone, #5 Ford Performance Racing, #9 Stone Brothers Racing and #25 Britek Motorsport Falcons will all feature in the game."

Now this just leaves 1 question....
Any word on at least 1 Australian track to accompany this? Would make alot of sense and Im sure wouldn't be a suprise. ;)

oh surfers paradise please please please!

More likely to be Mount Panorama. I wouldn't get your hopes up though. They included LMPs in FM2 without Le Mans.

But they also had Sebring remember? ;-)

[ravenmorpheus2k]

Hmm yeah, ALMS, forgot about that, might be the reason why all the LMPs/GTs are ALMS liveries (from what I recall).

Ok so there may be an Aussie track. Haven't seen anything about one though and you'd think there would be some news about it considering there's news about V8s being in the game.

[Jonny683]

Don't forget the Nurburgring, and the Oval track. I want to see Symons plains in there, I like that track...

[hoboholic]

I have a feeling there is an Aussie track on there.... one of the screens kind of remind me of Hidden Valley but dont hold me to that :D

Oooh they look good.

Now what would really top off FM3 is a race version of the Merc CLK GTR and Ford GT...
