Forza Motorsport Teases 5 Of All 20 Tracks, Maple Valley Returns

Turn 10 Studios, the creators behind Forza Motorsport, has released new videos showcasing five of the twenty tracks that will be featured in the upcoming game. The tracks include Grand Oak Raceway, Kyalami Grand Prix, Road America, Eaglerock Speedway, and the nostalgic favorite, Maple Valley. Fans of the franchise will recognize Maple Valley from previous installments of Forza Motorsport. All five videos can be found on Forza’s official YouTube channel.

Aside from the tracks, Forza Motorsport boasts an impressive collection of over 500 cars, including over 100 new race cars making their debut. Additionally, players can customize their vehicles with 800 unique upgrades. According to Chris Esaki, Turn 10 Studios’ Creative Director, Forza Motorsport is “the most technically advanced racing game ever made.” The game features 4k resolution at 60 frames per second, enhanced by ray tracing for exceptional visual fidelity. Dynamic time-of-day settings and realistic weather models add to the immersive experience, while the condition of the tracks evolves as rubber accumulates over time.

The auditory experience in Forza Motorsport is equally remarkable, with support for Dolby Atmos providing immersive engine roars and environment acoustics. Each car has distinct engine notes, and the audio environment responds with echoes and reverberations. The game even includes regional voices for track announcers, adding authenticity.

The partnership between Forza Motorsport and General Motors is highlighted in a previous trailer, featuring the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray and the Cadillac Racing V-Series.R LMDh racer. The grand unveiling of Forza Motorsport is scheduled for October 10, 2023.
