The British Racing Invasion Arrives in the Forza Motorsport 6 Garage

For five weeks now, the team behind Forza have been releasing more details each week about the cars that come with the game. This week its a British Invasion with a pair of 2014 British Touring Car Championship racers. Both cars are built to the Next Generation Touring Car specifications. The #67 Audi was helmed by driver Robb Holland and the #80 Toyota by Ginetta racer Tom Ingram. 

2014 Audi #67 Rotek Racing S3 Saloon - shown above

Notable Jalopnik contributor Robb Holland was the first American driver to ever compete in a full season of the British Touring Car Championship. With the help of Rotek Racing based at the Nürburgring, the ultimate proving ground for anything with wheels, the team fielded this Audi S3 Saloon. Holland’s goals for the season were humble given each race of the season would be the first time he had seen each track. The team placed in the top twenty more than once and, despite some unfortunate on-track incidents that ended their chances early, earned points by the end of the season. For Forza fans, this BTCC racer is ready to relive its track time at Brands Hatch or anywhere else you choose to race.

2014 Toyota #80 Speedworks Motorsport Avensis

Speedworks Motorsport has seen success in the Ginetta G50 Cup, British GT4, and the British GT Championship to name a few notable series. The husband and wife team of Christian and Amy Dick debuted the first Next Generation Touring Car in 2011 and since climbed the steep learning curve. By 2014, the team doubled in size and had taken on promising young Ginetta driver Tom Ingram. A mostly trouble-free 2014 season saw the #80 to nine point finishes out of twelve races run, including two top-ten placings. The Toyota Avensis is a large four-door saloon that is not available in North America. In its BTCC racing dress, you can experience what has made it a success in Europe and Japan.
