Some comments from a Microsoft exec have popped up on the Tesla Customer Blog.

In his comments he talks about a team of sound engineers from Microsoft Game Studios recording audio for Forza and Project Gotham.

A team of sound engineers from Microsoft Game Studios (some working on Forza, some on Project Gotham Racing) asked if I was willing to take my Roadster to a track so they could record a variety of sounds. Some time ago they had the opportunity to record Tesla motor noises when a prototype was being run on a dyno at Tesla. But the teams were excited about the prospect of recording other sounds, particularly tire skid and squeal noises, without the interference of loud engine and exhaust noise. Of course I said “yes.”

There are a couple of things that could be taken away from Mr Burts’ comments.

• Project Gotham 5 may be in development at Turn 10 already.
• He may be slightly confused about what the audio is actually being used for (PGR 4 had a Tesla in the game).

Make of it what you will.
