Forza 3 has Le Mans tracks, modes

Le Womans will be pleased.

Microsoft has confirmed the inclusion of notorious and prestigious endurance race 24 Hours of Le Mans in Forza Motorsport 3.

This is the real-life event where drivers race over the course of an entire day, taking frequent stops at Welcome Inns up and down the M1.

Le Mans circuits Le Sarthe and Bugatti will be included, as will the 24 Hours of Le Mans multi-class racing mode.

Microsoft also announced an enormous garage of over 100 cars for Forza Motorsport 3, which launches exclusively on Xbox 360 this October.

Developer Turn 10 revved the Forza Motorsport 3 engine loud and proud at E3 this year, promising "the best simulator on any console". Yamauchi! That's bold.

Luckily, we had plenty of hands-on time with Forza Motorsport 3 to test the claims.
