April in Forza Motorsport's Featured Events is a throwback to the classic eras of racing, with a whole new list of events to compete in and cars to race.

Let's take a look at what March has to offer in the Featured Multiplayer and Rival Events in Forza Motorsport.

Forza Motorsport's Featured Events are split into two main categories. Featured Multiplayer Events contain both Open and Spec Series, while Featured Rivals include Rival Events in dedicated cars around specified tracks.

Open Series allows players to bring their own wheels to the track, with upgrades and tuning encouraged. Spec Series, on the other hand, levels the playing field by putting all racers in the same car. These have all been tuned by the Forza team to provide the best racing possible.

Let's see what Forza Motorsport has in store this month.

Improved racing

There are also new Spotlight Cars to take for a spin, the new Retro Racers Tour in Career Mode to complete, and a new track to drive around, Brands Hatch.

April in Forza Motorsport takes us back to a bygone era of racing. The cars available to drive in the Retro Racers Tour all pushed what was possible with racecars when they were first developed, bringing a new age of racing revolution.

The tour kicks off with the Rulebook racers, putting players behind the wheel of the 1981 Ford #2 Zakspeed Racing Capri Turbo. Unlimited Racers then transports us to the golden age of sports car innovation with the 1969 Lola #10 Simoniz Special T163.

We then head to the fast and dangerous with the Grand Prix Racers putting us behind the wheel of the 1967 Brabham BT24. The Retro Racers Tour then concludes with Consumption Racers and the 1988 Jaguar #1 Jaguar Racing XJR-9.

Players have until 29 May to complete the Retro Racers Tour. Those who do complete all four series will unlock the 1977 Renault #15 Equipe Renault Elf R.S. 01, the first turbocharged Formula 1 car.

There is also a fifth car, the 1975 BMW #25 BMW Motorsport 3.0 CSL, to drive despite not having its own Spotlight series.
