Formula E is heading to Forza 6
Plenty of new cars revealed as Turn 10 details the latest addition to the racing series.
Formula E is heading to {Forza Motorsport 6}, and with the 2014/2015 FIA season heading to Turn 10's racer in its entirety, it will be the first time the discipline has been fully included in a video game.
As part of the announcement we've been treated to some details regarding the new Formula E cars coming to the racer, plus an additional batch from the game's 450+ strong lineup were also revealed. This is what Turn 10's Brian Ekberg had to say about the new additions coming to the next entry in the Forza series:
Formula E is a new FIA championship and the world's first fully-electric racing series. It represents a vision for the future of the motor industry, serving as a framework for research and development around the electric vehicle, accelerating general interest in these cars and promoting sustainability. The first race took place in Beijing in September 2014, the first of 11 races taking place in major cities around the world including London, Berlin, and Moscow. For the inaugural season, 10 teams, each with two drivers, compete head-to-head, creating a unique and exciting racing series designed to appeal to a new generation of motorsport fans.
While still in its youth, Formula E racing requires strategic use of the limited charge of the racecar's battery. During a pit stop, the entire car is swapped rather than changing batteries. Elements such as Fan Boost, where race fans vote for which driver should get an additional power adder, make the series even more immersive for fans.
The cars are not silent - their sound is unique and very prevalent with a recordable level of no more than 80 db, not much more than the average commuter car. Acceleration is impressive with 0-60 attainable in less than three seconds. Top speeds are around 140 mph.
This past weekend's 2015 Formula E season finale brought city circuit racing back to the city of London after a 40-year hiatus. NEXTEV TCR driver Nelson Piquet Jr. was crowned as the first Formula E champion after finishing seventh place at the Battersea Park circuit, earning enough points to secure the first Formula E title.
