Celebrating Women’s History Month with Forza Motorsport 7
Celebrate women and their contribution to motorsport by joining racecar driver Shannon McIntosh for the Forza Motorsport 7 “Women in Motorsports” Rivals Event from March 3-15. Also, just for setting a time in the event, players receive an event inspired livery and if you finish in the top 40% on the leaderboard, you get very rare Forza driver gear.
