With Forza Horizon 3 in the spotlight after E3, you’d be forgiven for thinking Turn 10 has wrapped up support for their most recent title. Enjoying a new car pack each month since October – as well as two expansion packs focusing on Porsche and NASCAR – June saw a break from the typical release schedule, with only the new Ford GT LM showing up (for free). We’ve now had confirmation from the team that more cars will be added to the game’s 600-and-counting lineup, a week from tomorrow.

Community Manager Brian Ekberg dropped the news in his most recent weekly community-focused feature. The hint is intentionally vague, telling players to “prepare to drive something you’ve never driven before in a Forza game”. This could mean almost anything, as the majority of the content in the DLC released for FM6 thus far has been new to the series. Perhaps it has something to do with Dan Greenawalt’s hints at three-wheelers coming to Horizon?

There’s also the chance support for Motorsport could run well into Horizon 3’s launch window, with Turn 10 and Playground Games supporting both titles concurrently. There is, after all, the mysterious ‘Forza Racing Championship’ which would arguably make more sense in the sim-oriented title.

While we don’t know how long we’ll have to wait for news on the FRC, nor how long FM6 will continue to receive post-release support, we do know the FM6 car pack is just over the horizon. We’ll have a full report on the new pack next Tuesday.

    Prepare for something you have never driven before….

    That doesn’t leave many options I guess, since the franchise basically covers all Motorsport Segments.

    It could be
    Cars with less/more than 4 wheels
    Dune Buggies (even tho don’t make much sense on FM6 Tracks.
    Concept Cars
    Rally Cars

    I’d wish they add Pikes Peak in an Addon. The Game needs it.

      Not a concept car because of the IDx Nismo, not a rally car because of the Beetle GRC. Dune buggy doesn’t seem like much of a surprise considering we have seen it in FH3 footage. The term “Forza game” covers the Horizon series too I believe, so it must be something all new, like a 3-wheeled car.

      So it’s most likely the reliant Robin then and 6 normal Cars. Well at least we have something to be excited and perhaps be disappointed about lol

    The first of the big titles to do motorcycle and sidecar racing, especially if bundled with the Isle of Man TT will, I reckon, score big time. I’ve seen them racing on hillclimbs etc and they’re proper mad – Imagine two player co-op!
