I don't know why you keep insisting this is the case. Nothing has been released at all concerning triple monitor support or lack there of. With no information it would be make more reason to assume it is supported rather than not since it has been in a couple of versions of Forza already.
It also make complete sense that Turn 10 has not addressed this yet as;
a) the number of people using triple screens is pretty low.
b) with it being a console launch title it make no sense to waste marketing time and effort speaking to the very few who will go out and buy three consoles and games at launch.

It makes perfect sense to talk about it since its the most awesome feature of the Forza series. No triples, no purchase.
Also, don't get so serious gentlemen, its just a rumor I heard from a friend who work at Microsoft. If you must know I worked for Microsoft from 2003 to 2006. Supposedly triples has been scrapped because the kinect head tracking is much better now. Which IMO is a poor replacement for the immersion offered by the triple screens. If you want to see my Forza 4 triple screen setup here is my youtube video. Compared to single screen there is no contest, the immersion is simply orders of magnitude better.
I also have a thread here on GTP with many pics of the panoramic and realistic view from inside the "cockpit" vs a single screen. Just check my thread history.

Yes three pocket projectors, three 46" panels. No bezels and the seam between screens has been blended with projection material.
This setup is used for PS3 triple screen GT5, as well as all PC racing games.
I also have a 4 actuator Dbox on this rig for PC Sims.
The large wraparound screen just destroys a single screen, I can't go back. Feel like your really in the car. Will be saddened if it's not in Forza 5. If not I'm done with Forza.

Nice what model projectors are you using? I may eventually go to some type of three screen rig but I would likely be a curved 3 projector unit. Of course the screen I'm using now is 7ft tall and 10ft wide so it takes up my entire view pretty well. I'm hoping with the new improved advanced headtracking that's supposed to be perfected in Forza 5 that it makes for a great experience.

Qumi Q2 projectors
Bigger isn't better to me, the three screens provides a close representation of a 1 to 1 scale with a real cars front cabin, any larger and the dimensions are all wacked out. You can see in my videos that the virtual arms and wheel are pretty much identical to my own arms, keeping that scale is important for immersion. If I were to go larger, it would be for my next rig iteration which will utilize a screen system like the TAG system, where I'll be using a real car cockpit, including both doors, roof, dashboard and working instrumemts. In this type of implementation the rendering of internal cockpits is not necessary since you'll already be in a real cockpit.
I've used track ir on PC for years, and much prefer the panoramic view of the ultra wide form factor. But for single screen users, it is an ideal way around the lack of peripheral coverage.

Liked your setup with the three screens. Am wanting to do something like this down the track but its not a biggi for me..Im just as happy playing on one screen.
Also wanted to know what the big surprise was supposed to be this week for Forza. I think it was stated in the last week in review. Havent seen anything that has surprised me yet..

...I wasn't prepared mentally for that. The pre-race with the people walking around looked real. Not just realistic, but actually real. That's incredible. I need to start taking small jobs from people as much as possible so I can get it ASAP.
