from Aug '09 GameInformer:

"NASCAR's deal with Sony is not exclusive, which is the way NASCAR wants it to stay. Davidson says that the association is looking into a broader strategy of multiple stock car titles across different platforms and genres, and it is currently looking at which partners are the best fit for each category."

In pretty much every Forza thread where Nascar was brought up, I made the comment that Forza 3 will have stock cars.

How much does the special edition cost?

Forza 3 is the best racing sim ever. What other game has it where if you dont use the clutch properly you break the transmission. Not even PC games have that. Also look at this pic. This is why Forza is so amazing. Custom designs for the world. This is why there are thousands of unique cars, unlike other racers where they max out at 8-900.

Forza 3 is gonna rule the raceworld. Bring it on.

I am seriously tempted to get a wheel and stuff for this game. What is the best bang for the buck on some accessories? As in, the cheapest I can get and still have some good equipment.

So true! no other game (not even GT5) offers as much car customization as Forza 3, this is the one thing I am REALLY looking forward to, being able to drive a truly unique car that noone else would have!

Me too but isn't the MS wheel the only one you can really get on the 360 for a decent price? not saying anything is wrong with the MS wheel, I tried it and was impressed with it.

This October, racing fans around the world will be able to experience first-hand the adrenaline of taking on the revered Circuit de Catalunya raceway, as Turn 10 today announced the track for “Forza Motorsport 3.” The Catalunya raceway will make its franchise debut with a roster of exciting new Euro-Sport Compacts, as well as the return of the venerable Nürburgring raceway in Germany.

Home to the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, Spain, Catalunya is one of motorsport’s most vital testing grounds. Fans will create their own memorable moments as they encounter a variety of obstacles, whether it’s hugging the short and wide curves or speeding down the straights. Making its return alongside Catalunya is the Nürburgring raceway, which is widely considered to be one of the most challenging and legendary tracks in the world.

“Forza” fans will be able to pilot these celebrated European tracks in style with an entire roster of new Euro-Sport Compacts, including the formidable 2009 Alfa Romeo Brera Ti, 2009 Renault Twingo Renault Sport Cup, 2009 MINI John Cooper Works and more! Don’t let their size fool you – equipped with compact exteriors and packing high-performance engines, these compacts will get you from 0-60 in a heartbeat.

If tuning is your specialty, you’ll love the multitude of customizable options available right at your finger tips. Compacts are known to be some of the most modified cars, and tuners can expect that same level of customization in “Forza Motorsport 3” to transform these cars into powerful driving machines.
