Forza Motorsport 6 goes to eSports

Forza Motorsport 6 has redefined racing on Xbox One with its powerful mix of stellar graphics, stunning realism, and the world’s best cars and tracks. Over the years, the Forza franchise has also established itself as an innovator in competitive racing, with programs such as ForzaFuel for Forza Motorsport 6 and Forza Horizon 2, the Mazda MX-5 Challenge, the Audi AXF-24 Challenge and most recently, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Series, as well as other live events at the Gfinity Arena in London, San Diego Comic-Con, E3 and BMW Welt in Munich.

Now, fans will have another chance to test their skills against fellow Forza Motorsport 6 players around the world with two brand new eSports racing competitions that pave the way for the future of competitive online racing on Xbox One.

ESL, Formula E and Forza Motorsport 6 – Race Off Pro Series
The all-electric FIA Formula E Championship has launched its first ever virtual championship – the Race Off Pro Series.
