Pity the poor Turn 10 employee who has to write down all 450 of Forza Motorspot 6's car models. All those numbers, slashes and suddenly lowercase letters to remember, to painstakingly transcribe. Get one wrong, and you face the wrath of oil-stained motor-nerds everywhere. Oof.
In a way, this news story is a tribute to the hard work of that lonely individual - here are the 37 names of cars announced for Forza 6 today, including 10 electric supercars from the Formula E racing league. BUT, just to introduce a bit of spice to what is to many of us a jumbled bunch of meaningless runes, I have made up a single car - can you spot which it is?
