Forza 3 heads to the Circuit de Catalunya
By Jessica Citizen - Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:12am
If you've ever wanted to race on the famous Circuit de Catalunya raceway, your chance is nearly upon us, with the announcement that the track will be a featured location in the upcoming Forza Motorsport 3.
This will be the first time the Catalunya raceway will be playable in a Forza release, and it makes a splashy debut with a bunch of new Euro-Sport Compacts, and is joined by German's classic Nürburgring (considered to be one of the most challenging tracks in the world!) in this year's lineup.
For those of you who may not be up to date with your circuits, Catalunya is the home of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, located in Barcelona, Spain. Considered one of motorsport's "most vital" test grounds, now you'll get the opportunity to create your own memorable moments - hugging the short, wide curves or screaming down the straights.
A whole new fleet of Euro-Sport Compacts accompanies these European tracks (gotta do these things right!), so you'll be able to take on the challenges in vehicles such as the 2009 MINI John Cooper Works, 2009 Renault Twingo Renault Sport Cup and the formidable 2009 Alfa Romeo Brera Ti. Just because they're compact doesn't mean they're lightweight - these little beasts will get you from 0-60 "in a heartbeat".
...and yes, you read right - tune. These compacts are widely considered to be some of the world's most modifiable cars - and that translates directly into Forza Motorsport 3. There's a multitude of customisable options right at your fingertips, giving you the power to transform these cars into super-personalised racers!
Currently due for release in October of this year, Forza Motorsport 3 is - surprise, surprise - exclusive to the Xbox 360.
