Furthermore, the video includes in-game footage of a wet weather race on the Top Gear Test Track driving the Jaguar XXR- S GT.

It was already rumored that the title will feature a DirectX12 graphics engine and that the game will support a 4k resolution. The included screenshots also confirm that the Forza Motorsport Autovista showroom mode and photo mode will be featured in the PC version.

Turn 10 Studios already confirmed that future Forza Motorsport games will be developed concurrently for PC and Xbox One and that the Forza Motorsport 6 Apex Free 2 Play PC title will become available later in the Spring of 2016.
