Time is ticking down on the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo. With less than a month until E3 takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Centre, the big gaming companies are starting to tip their hands. First up is Microsoft, with the return of their FanFest initiative.

500 lucky gamers will be able to take part in the free event. Things kick off bright and early at 9:30 on June 13 with the Xbox E3 briefing. After that concludes, players in attendance will get the chance to play brand-new games, as well as meet and chat with various members of the industry. The day wraps up at the Petersen Museum, which has featured a Forza exhibit since the stunning KPF-led redesign of the building was completed late last year.

At 10:00 PM on June 11, fans will be able to line up at the Microsoft Store at Westfield Century City to get their FanFest tickets. You can read all the details here.

For driving sim fans, the draw is undoubtedly the Forza portion of the event. With the next Forza title scheduled to show up at E3, this could be the chance for a select few to sample the game before it’s even shown on the Expo stage. It may also feature Forza Motorsport 6, which enjoyed a triple-screen setup at FanFest in 2015, and just added a NASCAR expansion last week. Who knows, maybe there’s an update planned for Forza 6: Apex…

Either way, it’s not long now. GTPlanet will be present at E3, and we’ll be bringing you all the racing game news from the show floor as it happens!

P.S. Even without the gaming connection, the Petersen is a metal-ribboned Mecca to the automobile. Check out the Petersen Museum site for all manner of delicious metal.
