Turn 10 Studios and ID Agency invited us to CEC in Century City to bring the new Forza Motrosport 3 video game. Over a hundred people came to receive an early copy of Forza 3 and a huge Audi R8 Forza Motorsport poster.

Here I am drifting a Ford GT500 on one of the units provided by Turn 10. Even though I had played the game several times this was the first full copy I had played to date. So this was my first chance at drifting in the game and I just loved every second of it.

Here is Daijiro Yoshihara enjoing some Forza 3 at the event. He was one of many Formula Drift drivers in attendance at the big launch. Standing next to Daijiro is Ceso from Formula Drift who also was there to try out the game and get a copy. He challenged me to some Xbox Live but we have yet to meet for some battles.

The crowd was a great mix of people and a huge crowd around the three screen racing wheel setup. The three screen setup is great for cockpit view as you really get a true sense that your sitting in a vehicle while racing. If you have the budget at home you should check out doing this without a doubt.

Here you can see several Formula D drivers in attendance at the event. Some people have even been building Formula Drift cars before the game has  been released which we documented in our story “Forza Motorsport 3 Drifting Preview – Released This Week.” If this is a sign of the storefront and support this game will have then it’s going to be worth it beyond a shadow of a doubt!
