Got bored tonight and did a little looking around and see what I could dig up on Forza 3. Found some interesting things. See Below.

GameSpot learns third racer is definitely in the dev garage; purportedly leaked documents say game will be two-disc, 400-car, 100-track epic.
After speaking with a source close to Microsoft, GameSpot can confirm that Forza MotorSport 3 is currently in development. Set for release sometime next year, the racer will continue Microsoft's highly customizable racing series after Forza 2's commercial and critical success on the Xbox 360. The first Forza was released for the original Xbox in 2005 to similar raves from reviewers.
GameSpot's source would not go into further detail, saying only that the game was several months into development and would be "massive." However, more information on the game may have appeared as part of a huge information leak sourced to market research group Intellisponse.
Though Intellisponse and Microsoft are declining to comment, a series of documents attributed to it on the NeoGAF forums appear to outline a Mii-like avatar system for Xbox Live and a new 360 motion-sensing Karaoke game. They also appear to reveal exactly how massive Forza 3 is, saying that "due to the number of cars and tracks, the game will be sold as a two-disc set."
How many cars and tracks will Forza 3 boast? According to the documents, the game will sport more than 100 tracks and over 400 cars with "near-limitless customization options for car tuning and custom artwork." The documents also promise the game will introduce several new racing modes--drag, drift, oval, point-to-point--as well as new online community features.

Well people, I’ll be bringing you some VERY good news soon, can’t say too much now, but soon as I can, I’ll be letting you know, suffice to say my “predictions” have born fruit, and we will see Forza 3 in 2009. We will be having some comps based around it, some special events for Australian based gamers and be able to bring you all up-todate information as it happens.
We’ve been working on getting more information for you from MS, as this is the hardest hit url on Forza on the net now. And we owe it to our supporters to keep you updates as we get news to-hand. I can’t say anything specific, but from what I have heard, you’re all in for an ‘amazing’ experience come Forza 3 release time in 2009.
So on with the “wish list” . . . you can wish as much as you want, but I’m sure the guys at MS have nailed down the number and types of cars that will be in Forza 3 - around the 400+ mark I believe (with more via additional Downloadable packs etc). They have most certainly been reading your comments, and many other Forza 2 supporters comments from around the world, and you’ll notice some of those comments and wishes come true in the next iteration I’m sure.
So once I ‘can’ give you more details, you will most certainly get it here FIRST. So stay tuned and I’ll try to squeeze more info out, yet not give away the game all together. That wouldn’t be much fun now, would it. Tell your friends, spread the url and site around, and we’ll keep you well informed.
But best of all, I found some beta footage, gotta love those sneaky bastards leaking this **** out.
