Microsoft have sped through word the famed Le Mans race and circuit have been included in the upcoming Forza Motorsport 3, bringing the game's impressive manifest of features one step closer to race aficionado perfection.

Petrol-heads will be able to experience first hand the winding corners and speedy straights of Le Mans, one of the oldest and most prestigious endurance races in the world.
