Forza Motorsport ALMS Challenge FAQ



What is the Forza Motorsport ALMS Challenge?



The Forza Motorsport ALMS Challenge is a season-long race series in Forza Motorsport 4 that ties closely to the 2013 ALMS season. For each race on the 2013 ALMS schedule, we’ll put up brand new Rivals event, using an ALMS car found in Forza Motorsport 4 (available either on disc or via DLC) and, wherever possible, the same track being raced in the real event. For ALMS events that feature race tracks not found in Forza Motorsport 4, we will use an alternate track.



After each event, the top 500 players will be awarded points (500 points for first place, 499 points for second place, and so on). The player with the most points at the end of the Forza Motorsport ALMS Challenge will be awarded a trophy. After each event, all participants will earn a car with a custom ALMS Challenge livery.



What car and track will we be driving in March?



Date: March 16 – March 31

Car: 2013 #93 SRT Motorsport GTS-R

Track: Sebring International Raceway





How do I take part?



Beginning on Saturday, March 16, you can set a time in the “ALMS Challenge #1” Rivals Mode event. To find the event in Forza Motorsport 4 from the main menu, navigate to “Community” -> “Rivals” -> Community Monthly channel and then “ALMS Challenge #1”. Look for a new event on April 20 to coincide with the Long Beach Race, and for events throughout the rest of the 2013 ALMS season. Stay tuned for car and track details in to be posted here on FM.net in April.



How can I check my progress after each event?



You can check your position in each monthly event by checking the Rivals Mode event leaderboard. After each event is complete, you can find updated point totals in the FM.net forums.
