Forza Motorsport is going to be an esport

Forza developer Turn 10 has announced The Forza Racing Championship, an esports competition for Forza Motorsport players.

“The Forza Racing Championship welcomes players of all levels to hone skills as they compete for glory and real-world prizes” Turn 10 said in a media statement. “Competitions will be open and competitive for all, from brand new players taking their first laps, to the fastest virtual drivers in the world.”

“Forza Racing Championship will be home to the best and most inclusive racing competition in gaming – where everyone has a chance to win, no matter how many miles they have behind the wheel.”

The Racing Championship will start later this year (more than likely in the American summer), and according to the company, it will “take advantage of Forza’s renowned authenticity and the massive amount of content available in the game, including more than 600 fully detailed Forzavista cars and an unmatched lineup of racing tracks from all over the world.”

The company did say that gamers should stay tuned for more updates, so maybe at a later stage it will announce the exact prizes that virtual drivers can look forward to.

To celebrate (read: stoke interest in) the upcoming Forza Racing Championship, from today Microsoft is handing out free DLC codes for the 2016 #66 Ford GT Le Mans race car in Forza Motorsport 6 through Xbox Live messages.

In all likelihood Microsoft and Turn 10 have had plans for an esports league in the pipeline for a while now, though it’s interesting that it’s taken them so long to get it on the starting grid.

It looks like it’s a busy year for Microsoft’s flagship racing sim. Earlier this year, Turn 10 announced that a new Forza would be revealed at this year’s E3 expo – which calendar-watchers will know is less than a week away. Expect to see a big shiny car somewhere on the shop floor.
