For those racing fans with an Xbox One or gaming PC, Forza Motorsport 7 should be on your watch list for the last few months of this year. It might be Microsoft’s only major first party release, but it’s also one that they have the most confidence in, as the series delivers year in, year out. We went hands on with the game back at Gamescom, which you can read about here.
As the game has now gone Gold ahead of its release on 3rd October (or 29th September if you buy the Ultimate Edition), they’ve announced that there will be a demo on both console and PC releasing on the 19th September.

You’ll be able to play three events: race the Porsche 911 GT2 RS around the game’s Dubai circuit, the Mercedes-Benz Tankpool racing truck around Mugello, and the Nissan Nismo GT-R LM around the Nurburgring Grand Prix circuit. It’s this final track that will demo the game’s impressive dynamic weather and track conditions to the fullest.
For PC owners, the demo will be a great opportunity to see how well the game runs on their PC, with Turn 10 having revealed their target specifications for various quality, resolution and frame rate targets.

My pc is above the recommended spec so I may give the demo a go but I doubt if I’ll get the full game as I’m really enjoying F1 2017 and with PCars 2 out soon and GT Sport not that far away I won’t have the time to play it.
