Next week, Turn 10 rolls out Update 3 for Forza Motorsport, which will add another wave of new content to the racing game as well as some more fixes and improvements.

The highlight of Update 3 for many will be the iconic Hockenheim track that features three different layouts: the 2.8-mile Full Circuit, the 2.3-mile National Circuit, and the 1.6-mile Short Circuit. Turn 10 says Hockenheim is "known for its long straights and ultra-narrow final sector" and is one of the great European tracks.

Also coming with Update 3 are 33 new race suits for your driver, five new Car Pass cars (which you can see in the table below), new 30% Spotlight Car discounts, and new Career Series, including the Contemporary Tour and the British Marques Tour.

As for fixes and improvements, Turn 10 has shared a few highlights of what to expect with Update 3. According to the developer, you can expect performance and stability improvements across all platforms, a fix for long load times, fixes for numerous cars, and more. Unfortunately, it looks like there aren't any fixes for the buggy Forza Motorsport achievements with Update 3 — fingers crossed we'll see fixes listed in the full patch notes next week.

Turn 10 hasn't given a date for when Update 3 will begin rolling out, only that it's coming "early next week."

In the last Forza Motorsport update, Turn 10 made one of the game's hardest achievements a real pain to unlock.
