During their 2009 E3 conference, Microsoft released details that they would be working along side Audi for the creation of a new racing game, Forza Motorsport 3. Audi and Turn 10 have been working together to ensure that the 2010 Audi R8 is exactly correct because it’s being used as the cover car for the game aswell as an actual in-game car.
Turn 10 game director, Dan Greenawalt, said that the Audi R8 is “powerful but refined, sophisticated yet inviting, the perfect blend of design and performance”, he said that because the Audi R8 is like this, it would make the perfect partner for the game because that’s the way they approached the creation of this game.
To try and promote the new game, Microsoft and Audi are running the AXF-24 Audi-Forza Challenge. This challenge will take the top 9 Forza players and put them against each other in a 24 hour Forza 3 endurance race. The 9 players will be split into 3 teams and the winning group will win an all exspenses paid trip to the 2010 Le Mans endurance race.
The race happens at the Audi Forum in New York City on June 13th. The game is set for release some time in October 2009.
Buying the new Forza 3 game isn’t the only way to get your on an Audi R8 without having to pay the £80,000 price tag. Car leasing is a great way of getting the newest model cars, like the Audi R8, at the cheapest prices. Whether you are after Audi leasing or something less pricey like Nissan leasing, almost every car make is available for lease.
Alternatively, you could buy Forza 3 for £40 and get a driving simulation of the Audi R8, atleast you wouldn’t have to be concerned about scratches and where to park it at night.
