Have you ever dreamt of putting your skills in Forza Motorsport 7 up against one of the best real-world drivers in the world? Your chance begins next week, with the ForzaRC Tanner Foust Challenge, which launches in Forza Motorsport 7 starting on April 11.

You probably know Foust from any number of his amazing accomplishments as both a race competitor and stunt driver. During his career Foust has earned championships in multiple racing disciplines including rallycross, drifting, and as a four-times X Games gold medalist. As a stunt driver he’s worked in Hollywood films and has set world records, as he did in 2011 with Hot Wheels when he made a 332-foot- ramp-to-ramp leap in a truck at the Indianapolis 500. Outside of the car, Foust has a busy career as a television personality, notably hosting the American Top Gear series, as well as in his Life in the Foust Lane YouTube series.

With the ForzaRC Tanner Foust Challenge, it’s the Forza Community vs. Foust. The entire Forza community is challenged to beat Foust’s time on the event leaderboard. You’ll be driving Foust’s race car, the Volkswagen Beetle GRC, on the Dubai Mountain Circuit, and everyone who ends up beating Foust’s final time will win the exclusive 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SD-455. In addition, come within two seconds of Foust’s final time and you’ll earn the Disco Driver Gear suit. Finally, we’ve got a great participation reward – the 1995 Volkswagen Corrado VR6 – that will go out to all players who set a time in the event.

To prepare for the Tanner Foust Challenge, be sure to add Tanner’s Gamertag -- SweetTFoust34 (corrected) – to your Xbox Live friends list, so you can follow his progress on the event leaderboard. We’ll have an update on the event in next week’s edition of the Week in Review!

I tried to find the gamertag but it says that they couldn't find a match.

Of course you don't have to follow them at all, just do your best and see where it comes out.

The WIR is probably missing a t as this account works, but ultimately confirmation needs to come from T10:

Thats a pretty weak reward car

Kinda surprised that they didn't make this a drift event

Apparently the only way to see Tanner's time on the new rivals event is to add him as a friend and check the leaderboards, so I did... and it doesn't work, because it's Forza 7 and of course it doesn't work :|

I'm unable to see his time, does anyone know what it is? I'd like to see if I beat him for the "additional reward" so I know if I can stop trying or not.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah makes sense, I guess I just figured he would have gone to Turn 10 sometime last month and set a time there on some fancy racing setup they have, like Romain Grosjean did on Spa with the E-23 for Rivals when Forza 6 first came out.

But I suppose it's totally possible he is just doing it from home any time during the rivals event. He's very competitive (maybe annoyingly so judging from Top Gear) so I suppose if he's doing it from home he's probably wearing out free play mode practicing for it.

Would have been nice if we had the lap time up there already though! Makes the difference whether I decide to put the time in to do 3 laps or 10+.
