Gamescom officially opens tomorrow, but Microsoft had a briefing today in preparation, touching on a large swath of its upcoming 2015/2016 lineup. Being just over a month away from release, Forza Motorsport 6 naturally has a display on site, with a community-designed livery wrapped around Ford’s new Focus RS complete with its own Stig standing guard.

Another week, another batch of cars announced for Forza Motorsport 6 en route to its September 15th release. This time, Turn 10 has focused on one of the standout marques in automotive history, with at least one car from each decade between 1940 and today. Before we get into those, though, let’s take a moment to focus on the new track reveal. Lime Rock is a new track to the series, a tight, rolling 1.5 mile ribbon in New England. It’s brutally narrow, with blind turns, downhill braking zones, and off-camber turns mixed in for good measure. It will be quite a handful for some of the quicker cars in the game.

Hot on the heels of Wednesday’s FM6 Garage reveal, Turn 10 has announced a free two-car bonus pack for their current game. While the ten car Porsche pack from last month cost users money, this pack is free. The catch? You only have until next Friday, July 24th, to download it (through the One’s Forza Hub app). After that the pack won’t be available for download, but the cars will stay in your garage.

Last week, Turn 10 began its weekly Garage reveal, announcing the entire Formula E grid as well as 30 other cars, bringing the total of announced vehicles for the upcoming game to 174. This week, the slow tease is continued.

A month into 2015, one of the most anticipated events in GTPlanet’s GT6 Photomode section has returned: the Tournament.
