You can now run your enjoy your own version of Petit Le Mans on a regular basis, as Forza Motorsport Update 11 adds Road Atlanta and multi-class racing in the Featured Multiplayer, including the Endurance series.
Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is a familiar track to most racing game and sim racing enthusiasts, as well as anyone that follows American motorsport. It’s featured in every Forza Motorsport title since the original in 2005, so it makes sense that it would eventually arrive in the track list for the latest Forza Motorsport game.
With Road to Race Month adding both the Endurance Series and Multi-Class racing, both categories will be staying as part of the multiplayer events, which adds some more variety.
Other highlights from Forza Motorsport Update 11 include official support for Logitech TRUEFORCE, a new Road to Race Featured Tour with the 2018 Aston Martin #97 AMR Vantage GTE as the reward car, an Open Class Tour giving you the 1998 Nissan #23 Pennzoil NISMO Skyline GT-R, and the start of the eRacing Association Alpha Cup 1, with a chance to win $500 in cash prizes, along with the second Logitech McLaren Q Qualifier. There’s also a Mobil 1 Legends vs Leaderboard Rivals event to try and beat Jamie Chadwick’s time in a 1970 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1.
