Forza Motorsport 5 & McLaren 'FilmSpeed' Mesmerizes
Teased yesterday, the collaboration between McLaren and Forza Motorsport 5 to create a flipbook-style animation from a series of still images strung around the perimeter of a race track, filmed from an MP4-12C has come to life. This is Forza FilmSpeed. We can't really imagine a more impractical way...

Remember flip books? If you're over 30 years of age, you probably played with them as a kid. You know, before we all had GameBoys in our pockets. A bunch of images are drawn on successive pages, and when you flip through them, an animated scene comes to life. Now imagine doing that with a McLaren MP4-12C and a race track. That's what McLaren and Forza Motorsport are doing, and this is the preview of what is to come. Called #ForzaFilmspeed, the project involves a race track, a bunch of still images of the McLaren P1 hypercar, and a video camera--and some smoky drifting, of course. This isn't...

If you're a gamer and into racing titles, you'll know the rivalry between Forza Motorsport 4 on the Xbox 360 and Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3 is as intense as that between Ford and GM. Gran Turismo has always had the realism and car diversity, Forza the greater fun factor and better online play. With the arrival of the May TopGear Car Pack, Forza 4 might just finally steal the diversity crown from GT. There's plenty to appeal to the speed freaks in the latest car pack. The chief new arrival is the lightning-fast 2012 Hennessey Venom GT. Loosely based on the Lotus Elise, the 6.2-liter twin-turbo...

Can Virtual Test Drives Produce Real World Sales?
Ford was an early adopter of promoting its products through video games and driving simulators, and it believes this strategy has boosted brand awareness and brand consideration.
Kurt Ernst -
Jeremy Clarkson is many things: tall, obstinate, outrageous, British, and even, occasionally, right. But if the message in the latest Forza Motorsport 4 trailer he voices is true, he is also the harbinger of the death of driving for fun. The video, showing an Aston Martin DB9 being used in a futile attempt to escape the congestion of a modern city commute, is depressing enough. But Clarkson's (and presumably Forza's) call to retreat from the real world into a video game as the last safe harbor for driving fun is, to us, utterly crushing. If all we're left with is cunningly rendered...
