Australian V8 Supercars in Forza Motorsport 3

Published September 2, 2009

V8 Supercar racing is on the rise, quickly becoming a popular spectator sport around the world, in addition to being the fan-favorite race type in Australia and New Zealand. So it's only fitting that Forza MotorsportĀ® 3 will feature eight versions of the well-known Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon when the game releases October 22 in Asia, October 23 in Europe, and October 27 in North America.

Often referred to by fans as a hybrid between NASCAR and the British Touring Car Championships, the 19 teams of the V8 Supercar series run strictly homologated 5.0 liter pushrod V8 engine cars from manufacturers Holden and Ford. In Australia, both the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon are popular cars, and the drama of the on-track rivalry between Holden and Ford is something unique to pop culture down under. Unlike NASCAR, the V8 Supercar races are held on road courses as opposed to ovals, with drivers battling for position, often with full-contact results.
