Could be faked, but you never know...

Here is the back of it.

"Featuring 24 new cars from the 2016 season, new Multiplayer events, new display elements for improved drafting and car spotting, and a new destination, Homestead-Miami Speedway"

This looks to be a nice expansion given that all of that content will be all new to the Forza franchise. It's a surprise to see that Microsoft was able to negotiate a license deal to make this expansion possible. All we are missing is a release date and the price for the expansion.

It's $16, it says it on the front of the card in the tweet I linked.

Edit: well actually it will probably be around 18-20 U.S. dollars.

Likely 20 in US/Europe because pounds are a very strong currency.

fake obviously

IF this is real, I'm a Forza follower for life.
Well, if it's real, I'm STILL a Forza follower for life. lol

I'm not saying I completely believe they got licensing for hundreds of sponsors, but please show me where this is "obviously fake."

Well now with the picture of the back of the card it looks pretty legit to me.

I thought that the rights to NASCAR weren't open.

That said, I know of three current racing games with NASCAR, one being NASCAR '15, the official NASCAR game, and the others being Gran Turismo 6 and Real Racing 3.

Should this expansion leak be true, this could knock off a highly-requested set of cars in the game, that being modern NASCAR cars. I hope that they are not all modern NASCAR cars and we have NASCAR cars from different eras.

I never trusted the Porsche leak to be true, and I suspect the same here.

Edit: Hey, this is my 600th post! B Class here I come lol.

Well hope it's true, but I won't get my hopes up yet.

Yeayyyy another bone to keep us happy and forget about the many issues FM6 suffers since FM5. And they even dare to pick our pockets again !!!!

Its a 3 gig download.

Who knows, it could come with a lot of new things. It says 24 new cars, a whole new track (which there could possibly be different layouts for) a whole new career section, and new improved game physics. The new game physics they talk about is the one thing that leads me to believe it could be fake. The porshe expansion was 2.41gb. Storm island for fh2 was 3.07 gb. So the size of the download is very believable.

If you don't like the expansion packs, don't buy them, they aren't trying to "pick our pockets," they don't force feed you the expansion and take money out of your account

As for the leaked nascar info, I bet they will add it, it's been one of the most highly requested cars on forza, I hope they add it because I'm a big nascar fan, if they add Talladega I'm gonna be so happy

If this is true, then...

LET'S GO RACING, BOYS!

If this happens to be true, then Turn 10 has really made my year! However, I always abide to the phrase "Don't raise your hopes too high if something seems too good to be true" and no offense to OP or anyone else, but I'd rather see an official word on this.

.....AND DANICA

I don't know; seems interesting. Yes, I also remember reading somewhere that NASCAR holds onto its rights until grim death. Then again, GT had the license, but its cars only go until 2013 (but so does its game; SHA-WING!!!), leading me to believe that any agreement PD may have had is no longer.

The addition of Homestead would leave us with four ovals; I guess that's enough to make for a new addition to career mode, in the same vein as the Porsche Expansion.

Still, though, I don't see this dropping much before E3, at which point I would imagine MSoft/T10 preferring the community focus on Horizon 3, or whatever they're going to be revealing there, if anything at all. Then again, they're pretty bullish on APEX these days; the NASCAR expansion -- if there is one -- could be a way of garnering more interest there. Either way, the timing needs to be considered.

Hey, I'm all for it -- especially if they manage to include some classic NASCAR racers -- but I'm staying guarded on this one because as I always say: it's vapourware until T10 says otherwise.

While of course nothing is confirmed yet so i wont be too mad if this is fake but guys we have seen many leaks and 90 percent of the time they are indeed real. If this happens to be true my God turn10 will have my money. I love the content they keep pumping into this game. The more the better. Now if only they tweaked multiplayer and fixed freeplay this game is complete.

If it's real, I don't care about the price.

Not really into NASCAR, but I kind of have a very good feeling about this. Remember how Forza 3 and 4 had NASCAR in them? Not sure that for many people, it will be disappointing like the Porsche Pack or not.

Anyway, this may not look too much of a letdown to me.

I'm a NASCAR fan, but I'm not really excited for this, should it be true. Until Forza changes their tuning settings, (separate slider for each wheel instead of one slider for the front and another for the back) I'll stick to the officially licensed games.

The card is real, the store at which this is happens to be very very close to me and would be my usual store if I bought discs instead of digital.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get there and see if it's still on display
