Hey everyone, in all the hecticness here at Turn 10, I forgot to mention that voting has already begun on the 5 top submitted user-created liveries for the Forza Motorsport 3 Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro preorder program. Basically, we held a contest during the week of E3 for folks to submit their customized Audi R8s, and now that Audi has picked their 5 favorite designs, it's now up to you guys to decide which livery you'd like to see on your free car when you preorder Forza Motorsport 3.

Besides, if you vote now, you'll be entered for a chance to have a blast racing high-performance cars at the Audi Driving Experience at the famed Infineon Raceway in California. Go and cast your vote on Xbox LIVE by downloading one of 5 cool Turn 10 or Forza Motorsport 3 gamerpics (yes, free). For more information about the Forza Challenge Voting Sweepstakes, head over to the contest page over at Xbox.com: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/f/forzamotorsport3/challengevotingsweeps/

In other news, the latest episode of the Forza Pitpass Report podcast has gone live on Forzamotorsport.net, as well as iTunes and Zune Marketplace. In Episode 6, Dan Greenawalt and I recall our adventures at E3 and France, during the 24-Hour of Le Mans. Do check it out and let us know what you think. It's also the first podcast where we're experimenting with using photos and images during the podcast itself in our video player on the site. In retrospect, I wish we could have included more pictures and did so in a more integrated way, but oh well, you live and learn. Next time!

Next Tuesday, we'll be rolling out with a batch of new cars and screenshots -- so check back often.

Ciao, bambino!
