Until now, racing gamers formed alliances by adding prefixes to their gamertags but there was no other way a grouping could be shown in gameplay. The latest Forza Motorsport title has created an in-game garage environment so that team-mates can drive both individually and as teams through team challenges. Players share a garage with other members of their “Forza Club”, allowing them to paint cars in team colours and drive any other car in their particular garage. This ability to club together is similar to the “friends” function on social network sites. In a “Forza Club”, players can constantly enlarge their circle of racing allies.
