I haven't posted in awhile. AXF-24 Audi.Forza.Challenge

[Derrict]

Wednesday this past week, I get an email for a media/VIP invite to the Audi Forum in NYC to preview Forza Motorsport 3, in addition to watch the 24 hour race between 3 teams for Forza 3. I originally had planned on attending the Mazda Formula X at NJMP, but this was an opportunity that doesn't along too often, especially since Forza 3 won't be released to the public until October '09.

You've probably already seen and read the reviews about it at E3 and other various media outlets, and pretty much it's all true. Simply put, this thing is going to be ridiculous. Graphics, gameplay, everything.

In addition to the Forza Motorsport 3 preview, they were also having a 24 hour Forza Motorsport 3 challenge. The winning team (3 per team, 3 teams total) will win a trip to the 2010 24-Hours of Le Mans.

Of course this was in the Audi building, so the 2010 R8 V10 was on display as was the #1 & #2 R10 TDI (#2 winning it last year).

Hey Derrict:)

Always love looking at your photos theyre always so crisp and feel like there's something frozen in them.


Im looking forward to Forza 3 bigtime. Goal is to have my house setup by then (or at least with a new ISP!) and get the 80$ upgraded version with the extra cars etc and go to town for a little bit.

Yeah, it was cool watching cars get airborne and rolling over. Even with the AI on easy/non aggressive, there were some nice fender benders.

Very cool D. Hope all is well.
