I hope you’re all doing well and looking forward to the holidays! I’m excited to announce our first race series of 2025, which will commemorate the very first event we hosted back in January 2024.
In that inaugural series, we used the 1999 Ford Racing Puma with basic upgrades. It was a great success, paving the way for the growth of this community and many incredible racing events throughout the year. To celebrate a full year of racing on Forza Motorsport, I’ve decided to bring back the same car but with some enhanced upgrades. Below, you’ll find all the necessary details and upgrade specifications for the event:
