# Forza Motorsport 7, GT Sport, Project Cars 2 All Nominated for a Game Award

It's been a busy year for racing game fans with everybody from hardcore *Project Cars*-fanatics to casual [*Need for Speed*](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/11384/need-for-speed-paybacks-gameplay-trailer-is-a-playable-fast-furious-movie>) racers receiving a new release sometime in the past 12 months. It's now been announced that three of 2017's most anticipated and popular racing games—namely [*Forza Motorsport 7*](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/15032/our-review-of-forza-motorsport-7-is-it-worth-the-upgrade>), [*Gran Turismo Sport*](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/8884/exclusive-first-impressions-from-gran-turismo-sport-beta>), and [*Project Cars 2*](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/11254/project-cars-2-release-date-accidentally-revealed-as-september-22>)—have secured nominations in the Best Sports/Racing Game category at [Geoff Keighly's annual Game Awards](<https://thegameawards.com/awards/>). Think of it [like the Oscars,](<https://www.marketplace.org/2015/12/03/business/video-games-have-their-own-version-oscars>) but for video games instead of movies you lie to your friends about seeing.

Occupying half of the proverbial grid, the trio of racers must also compete against *FIFA 18*, *Pro Evolution Soccer 2018*, and *NBA 2K18*. Despite this, it wouldn't be considered foolish to bet on one of the checkered-flags-and-tire-smoke titles to take the win as the last three winners were *Forza Horizon 3*, *Rocket League*, and *Mario Kart 8*. Okay, so *Rocket League* and *Mario Kart* are definitely more car-*related* than full-on car games, but they're a damn sight more automotive than *Madden*.

The winners of The Game Awards are determined by an international jury in tandem with online fan voting. Voting can be done on the show's [website](<https://thegameawards.com/awards/>), [Twitter DM](<https://twitter.com/thegameawards>), and [Facebook page](<https://www.facebook.com/thegameawards/>) in addition to [Google Search Voting](<https://g.co/kgs/auRjH6>). The polls close Dec. 6 and the show will be broadcast live Dec. 7 at 8:30 p.m. EST on [Twitch](<https://www.twitch.tv/thegameawards>), [YouTube](<https://www.youtube.com/user/thegameawards14>), Facebook Live, and a bevy of game console streaming services.

Which title do you think deserves the trophy? *Forza* with its encyclopedic, 700-strong car list, *GT* with its ambitious, FIA-sanctioned online racing, or *Project Cars* with its deep, racing focus and formidably comprehensive track list? Those who suggest one of the [sportsball](<https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sportsball>) nominees can kindly leave this website now and never come back.
