Ford to present ‘Tame the Track’ Forza 6 challenge at Gamescom

Community members who are planning to visit this year’s Gamescom game trade fair in Cologne, Germany on August 23, 24 and 25, will have the opportunity to take part in the “Tame the Track” competition in which Ford challenges gamers to match a professional racing driver’s real-world lap time. Get ready for another virtual to real experience.

Using Forza Motorsport 6 on an Xbox One, gamers will have to match a lap on the Belgian Spa-Francorchamps circuit which was set in a real world Ford Focus RS by professional British racing driver Harry Tincknell. Motorsport fans will know Harry as the Ford works driver who currently races a Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GT LM GTE car in the FIA WEC.

On August 23, 24 and 25, the “Tame the Track” competition winners will be flown to a yet to be announced circuit where they will drive the real Ford Focus RS with Harry as a driver coach. The winners will also get a pair of Recaro car seats and Bang & Olufsen prizes.

Those who don’t feel like competing in the Forza 6 competition, will still have a chance to take part in a challenge. on August 22, at its booth, Ford will set up a social media stand where you can win prices by means of sharing some Ford selfies.

Petrol-heads will be pleased to hear that throughout the event, the Focus RS, Ford GT M GTE race car, and the Ford Fiesta ST-Line will be on display at their show stand in Hall 8.
