FM7 #Forzathon is Live!
“As of today, #Forzathon events in Forza Motorsport 7 are officially live! To kick off the launch, we’ve got three events in the game. #Forzathon events in FM7 are slightly different from those in Forza Horizon 3; this time around, you’ll need to complete events in sequence in order to get claim your rewards. Here’s a detailed look at the three events live now in the game:”

November Bounty Hunter – Dan Greenawalt
“Last month we kicked off our Bounty Hunter series in sterling fashion with 2017 IndyCar champ Josef Newgarden. Now we’ve got a new challenger for you: Turn 10 creative director Dan Greenawalt! The new Bounty Hunter event begins today, and you’ll find it in the Featured Events channel of Rivals. As always, the goal here is to beat the Bounty; doing so will get you a sweet exclusive car as a reward (more on that in just a bit).”

New Hoppers – Drag, S-Class Breakout
“In addition to our new Bounty Hunter event, we’ve got a new pair of multiplayer hoppers going live today in the game. These include a new Breakout Hopper (S Class) and new drag event.”
Specialty Dealer
“We’ve got three great cars available in the Forza 7 Specialty Dealer right now – from the intimidating madness of the Nissan TITAN Warrior Concept to the 2005 SUBARU Impreza WRX STi, and the costly (but worth it) 2008 Lamborghini Reventón. There’s still a few days to grab those cars and, next week, look for three new entries, including the Subaru Legacy B5 2.0 GT, the TVR Sagaris, and the Ferrari 458 Italia.”

New Prize Crates
“Earlier this week, we introduced three new mystery prize crates to Forza 7, ranging in size from the Mini Mystery Crate, which features two items, to the Large Mystery Crate (four items), and all the way up to our Mega Mystery Crate which contains six items, our largest crate yet. All the these mystery crates include a chance to earn a Legendary item, including cars, Driver Gear, Mods, and Badges.”

Auction House Update
Last week’s update for Forza Motorsport 7 included the activation of the Auction House in the game. WE are aware of a couple of issues with the Auction House, including slow search overall and the inability for some cars to be sold on the AH. We are investigating both matters and I hope to have more updates soon. In the meantime, we’ve limited the number of searches results that appear to 100 while we investigate the issue. Look for more information soon."

Silverstone Recap
“What do you get when you combine the Porsche Experience Center at Silverstone International Raceway, a bunch of great Porsches available for hooning, and Forza Motorsport 7. A great time! Recently we invited some friends of Forza out to Silverstone for a day of fun at Silverstone, including some competition in Forza 7, as well as some real-life driving in some amazing Porsche models. Check out recap video for all the fun:” Video
Heavy Metal Affliction – 2014 BMW i3
“This BMW i3 is owned by Forza Global Marketing Manager Chris Bishop, and the story is an eye-opening look at the role EVs are taking in the world of cars.”
