Microsoft executive Tom Burt may have accidentally announced the existance of Project Gotham Racing 5 when discussing the intricacies of rendering the Tesla Roadster to Forza Motorsport 3 and the new PGR.

Tom Burt was posting on the ‘Customers’ blog over at Tesla and confirmed he was asked to supply sounds for both the PGR and Forza teams with his Tesla Roadster:

“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.” ”

The wording of the interview also hints that Forza developer Turn 10 is working on it, replacing Bizarre Creations, which was purchased by Activision over two years ago.
