OFFICIEL: 8 V8 Supercars dans Forza 3 !
La fameuse annonce Australian V8 Supercars, organisée chez un concessionnaire Lamborghini de Sydney, a enfin eu lieu et révèle ses secrets. Autant le dire tout de suite, ce n’est pas aussi impressionnant qu’on aurait pu l’espérer, notamment niveau circuits.

Le communiqué de presse ( disponible plus bas) officialise l’arrivée des V8 Supercars dans Forza Motorsport 3, ça c’est l’excellente nouvelle! Les Holden Commodore et Ford Falcon pousseront à coup sûr leurs carrosserie sur tout les circuits de Forza 3, y compris là où elles ne sont jamais allés (on peut penser au Nordschleife, Suzuka, Laguna Seca … ), ce seront exactement 8 V8 Supercars qui feront le déplacement, voici lesquelles:
- 2009 Holden #2 Toll Holden Racing Team Commodore VE
- 2009 Holden #33 Garry Rogers Motorsport Commodore VE
- 2009 Holden #39 Supercheap Auto Racing Commodore VE
- 2009 Holden #51 Sprint Gas Racing Commodore VE
- 2009 Ford #1 TeamVodafone FG Falcon
- 2009 Ford #5 Ford Performance Racing FG Falcon
- 2009 Ford #9 Stone Brothers Racing FG Falcon
- 2009 Ford #25 Britek Motorsport FG Falcon
Quatre Holden et quatre Ford, pas de jaloux, la grille complète de la série australienne présentant plus de 2 fois ce nombre, il sera possible pour les fans de peindre les autres autos du championnat, je rappelle que cette année, chaque voiture de course « classe R » peut arborer un paintjob personnalisé!
Là où bas blesse par contre c’est niveau circuits…en fait, aucun circuit australien n’a été annoncé, pas même l’exceptionnel Bathurst. Che l’a confirmé sur le twitter de Turn10 en affirmant « And yeah, no Bathurst in the game. But the V8s are fun as hell. We have 3 new tracks we haven’t talked about yet. And 1 returning from FM2. » Histoire de ne pas laisser les fans sur une demi déception, on sait donc maintenant que 3 nouveaux tracés n’ont pas encore été révélés dont 1 de retour de Forza Motorsport 2.
Je vous laisse apprécier quelques images de l’événement et des V8 Supercars, certaines des berlines de course les plus puissantes au monde!
