The American carmaker is embarking on a virtual 48-hour marathon around the Circuit de la Sarthe in a world record attempt at the longest video marathon on a racing game with Forza Motorsport 6 (available on Xbox One). It is a serious challenge, with representatives from the Guinness Book of Records in attendance to validate the performance!
Several gamers will take turns for 48 hours and 1 minute, including German Johannes Knapp, Spaniard Jesus Sicilia and French gamer Kijooki. Racing driver Stefan Mücke, who drives the Ford GT in the World Endurance Championship (WEC), was present to launch the challenge as it got underway at 2 pm (CET) on 16 August.
