Tomorrow a free update will be coming to Forza Motorsport 5 which will add for the very first time in the Forza series, the iconic Long Beach Circuit. The Long Beach Circuit will be playable in the career mode, Rivals and multiplayer lobbies.

Below are some official details in regards to the Long Beach Circuit:

Starting April 10, the famed Long Beach circuit is coming to the “Forza Motorsport” franchise for the first time in “Forza Motorsport 5.” Available for free as part of the latest “Forza Motorsport 5” content update, delivering tight turns and blindingly quick straights, Long Beach is surrounded by the sun-drenched beauty of southern California. Long Beach in “Forza Motorsport 5” is packed with stunning detail, with the entire track and surrounding area recreated with obsessive precision through laser scanning, thousands of photos, and hours of video. From the angles of each unique palm tree along Shoreline Drive to every nuance of the track’s surface, this circuit is a racing experience unlike any other.

The full eleven-turn, 1.97-mile course, home to this weekend’s 40th running of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, is included, as well as two alternate ribbons: the slightly shorter East Loop and the half-mile West Loop, both of which are perfect for drifting or pushing your technical driving skills to their limits.

Like all track add-on content for “Forza Motorsport 5,” Long Beach has been fully integrated into every mode of the game. Once you download the content update, the Long Beach circuit becomes part of your “Forza Motorsport 5” world. You’ll find brand new events in Career mode, new Rivals and multiplayer lobbies to challenge your friends, and more. Download the latest update for “Forza Motorsport 5” and experience this world-class track for the very first time in the “Forza Motorsport” series!

In addition to tomorrow’s free update, a new car pack will launch alongside it called The Long Beach Booster Pack. It will feature five new cars including the 1977 Ford Coyote Gilmore77, the 1974 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale, the 1956 Jaguar D-Type, the 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG Mercedes CLK GTR and finally the 1971 Ferrari #2 Ferrari Automobili 312 P. The Long Beach Booster Pack will be available to purchase tomorrow and will of course be available to Forza 5 Car Pass owners at no extra cost.
