Fueled by Car Passion: A Young Racer’s Epic Road Trip

Mario Bonfante Jr. is always up for a challenge. So when Turn 10 Studios invited him on a road trip to check out Forza Horizon 2 at their studio in Redmond, WA, Mario suited up. He slid into a modified 1998 BMW M3 E36, gripped his custom shifters and hit the open road to chase down his favorite racing franchise.

A fiercely competitive race driver who refused to give up his dreams when his career was cut short in a tragic accident eight years ago, Mario’s story is the kind that inspires Turn 10 Studios to create groundbreaking and passion-fueled Forza experiences.

Join Mario on his journey as he goes off-roading in his BMW, meets the Turn 10 team, shares how Forza helped him re-acclimate to driving after his accident, and gets an exciting first-hand look at the fun, freedom and action-packed driving that define Forza Horizon 2.

Featuring all-new Forza Horizon 2 gameplay, this video highlights the myriad of exciting new features fans will enjoy starting on Sept. 30, including the game’s massive, living open world, endless free-roaming fun, deep online social experiences and diverse collection of more than 200 of the world’s greatest cars.
