Virtual Motorsports brings you a total new series. Featuring some of the most, popular, fastest and exciting supercars, sports cars and grand touring cars that the whole world has to offer. You still don’t have a clue what we’re talking about? Let’s name a few then! The gorgeous Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the hardcore Lotus Exige S, the sinister Viper GTS and Toyota’s supercar, the Lexus LFA. These cars plus 18 other recent cars will battle it out over 8 weeks of racing in a challenging and diverse 2 race format. VMSC Series 1 will provide a mixture of standing starts and rolling starts, with a mandatory pitstop or no pitstop at all thrown in. One thing is for sure, no week will be the same!
Racing on Forza Motorsport 5 on Saturdays at 14:00 CST / 20:00 GMT / 06:00 AEST, the series will feature old and new racing circuits from around the world, starting at Silverstone Racing Circuit in Europe. Then we cross the Atlantic Ocean for three rounds on the North American continent. Starting off at Sebring International Raceway, followed by Road Atlanta, also known as Petit Le Mans. While Round 4 takes place at the iconic Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Then we head back to Europe, specifically, the Ardennes for Circuit de Spa-Franchorchamps. Next up is Nürburgring in the beautiful Eifel landscape. Round 7, the last European race takes place at Circuit de Catalunya. Last, but not least, is Road America.
Series 1 will feature 3 championships to contest, with all drivers being entered into at least 2. All drivers will participate in the Drivers Championship but away from this, they will also do battle in either the Teams or Privateers Championship, depending on their entry situation. Of course, team members must run the same paint job but don’t have to race the same car.
Working alongside Turn 10, the series is officially sponsored and will feature DLC and in-game credits to be won by the drivers. Those skilled, or lucky enough to finish in the top 10 of the Drivers Championship will earn themselves a share of the credits available. As well as one lucky participant selected at random who has completed at least 7 out of 8 races overall will win a Forza 5 DLC Code of his choice.
VMSC Series 1 will begin on the 18th October with the series finale on the 6th December. 8 rounds of racing in beautiful, fast and exciting cars. What will be your favourite? Pick it and race it! Good luck!
