– Today’s insane-yet-amazing news is that Hot Wheels and Forza are combining in what must be the craziest idea to ever grace the Xbox. Forza Horizon 3 will be getting the Hot Wheels DLC on May 9 which will include classic Hot Wheels cars, crazy tracks and even mechanical dinosaurs. Honestly, how good does this sound?
