Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios have announced today that open-wheel cars will finally make their series debut in Forza Motorsport 5. These include current and historic grand prix racing cars as well as race cars from the IZOD IndyCar Series.
2012 champ Ryan Hunter-Reay's Andretti Autosport car.
The game will feature cars representing four of the top teams in the IZOD IndyCar Series: Andretti Autosport, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Target Chip Ganassi Racing, and Team Penske.
Forza Motorsport 5 will feature Formula 1 cars, including the 1976 McLaren M23 and the 1976 Ferrari 312-2. These cars were driven by Niki Lauda and James Hunt during the extraordinary 1976 F1 season, where the World Championship was decided by a single point. They both feature in Ron Howard's upcoming film Rush and will be available as a free download to all Forza Motorsport 5 players at launch.
Check out the trailer for a taste of those historic machines.
The inclusion of open-wheelers also gives Forza Motorsport 5 the potential to embrace manufacturers that have been absent from the series to date, including Ariel, Caterham and KTM, but no mention of these makes was made.
Expect more open-wheel car announcements during the lead up to launch. Meanwhile, see Ryan's impressions of Forza Motorsport 5 here.
