Beat Phil Spencer in Forza Motorsport 6 for Ultimate Bragging Rights

To celebrate the launch of Forza Motorsport 6, Xbox is inviting all fans to compete in the Forza Motorsport 6 #TimetoShine Challenge, with the goal of beating the race timings set by Lotus F1 Team Driver Romain Grosjean and Head of Xbox Phil Spencer for a chance to win ultimate racing bragging rights.

Called the Forza Motorsport 6 #TimetoShine Challenge, participating fans will need to better the race times set by Romain Grosjean (1 minute 52.703 seconds) and Phil Spencer (2 minute 00.343 seconds), using the 2015 Lotus F1 Team’s E23 Hybrid on the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium, for ultimate bragging rights against the two Forza Motorsport 6 racers. 

Fans will need to set their time using the “Time to Shine Challenge” Rivals mode event in Forza Motorsport 6, which can be found in the Community Monthly channel of Rivals mode in the game. Fans who succeed in beating these times should post a screenshot of their race timings with the hashtag #TimetoShine, on their social media pages, in order to be recognized.

“With the launch of Forza Motorsport 6 worldwide, we invite all racing fans to experience the game and the Lotus F1 Team’s E23 Hybrid with a little friendly competition. Both Romain and I have set our best lap racing times and we want fans to try and beat us for the ultimate bragging rights in a game that will certainly be the center of many epic virtual racing moments in the months to come,” said Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox. “I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Romain the best of luck in the Singapore F1 race on 20th September as he represents Xbox on the track,” he added.

“I am extremely excited about the launch of Forza Motorsport 6 in Asia. I’ve had the opportunity to race the E23 Hybrid in the game, and the entire racing experience is absolutely amazing. The visual detail within the car is immaculate, the graphics absolutely breathtaking and the sound is incredible – it almost feels like I’m racing the actual car itself! I’m particularly impressed by the night racing and wet weather modes as they provide an added dimension to the virtual racing experience. I hope fans will put in their best efforts in this challenge, and look forward to seeing them beat the timings set by Phil and I.” said Romain Grosjean, Lotus F1 Team Driver.

This coming weekend at the Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix, Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldanado from the Lotus F1 Team will be bringing the Forza Motorsport 6 racing experience to life, and will be decked out in Xbox-branded racing suits for duration of the event. In addition, the Xbox brand will be making a special appearance on the E23 Hybrid cars of both drivers, as they compete against the field for maximum points at the checkered flag.
