Just in case you weren’t aware, April has basically become the month of Porsche, at least in the Forza world. To continue with the theme, another Forzathon has landed on Forza Horizon 3, bringing along a supercar that first started production three decades ago, but still manages to impress.

Today is the big day for many Forza Horizon 3 racers around the globe looking to get their hands on one of the many pieces of Stuttgart’s finest up for grabs. In a special one-day only Forzathon, players can earn the much sought-after 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder.

The beloved Stuttgart-based automaker continues to make rounds this week all over the racing game world. Porsche has decided to introduce itself in Gran Turismo Sport, while being reintroduced to the Forza series via a Forza Horizon 3 car pack and as a sponsor for Season 3 of ForzaRC. To make things even better, a couple of Porsches will be up for grabs in this month’s Forzathon events.

Even though spring in the land down under technically takes place during the months of September, October, and November, it’s springtime in the digital world of Forza Horizon 3. And with that, comes the newest assortment of Forzathon challenges all bundled under the title of “Spring Is In The Air.”

If there’s one thing Codemasters does right in many of its racing games, it must be the audio. The developer’s latest release, DiRT Rally, has received plenty of praise from reviewers for its quite accurate representation of vehicle sounds.

One more Forzathon titled “Fooling Around” has made its way into Forza Horizon 3 to conclude the transition from March to April, while also rewarding players with a car that last made an appearance in the original Forza Horizon.

For Forza Horizon 3 players who missed out on the snowy fun that came with the game’s first expansion back in December of last year or a few exclusive cars along with additional in-game benefits: the time has come, as both Blizzard Mountain and the VIP membership are 50% off their regular price for Xbox Live Gold users.

Another weekend, another Forzathon, another vehicle for players to obtain, as Forza Horizon 3 has received the latest batch of Forzathon events. The challenges this time are themed around Japanese cars and features the appropriate name of “Spring Festival.”
