Forza Horizon 2: Storm Island gameplay with racing wheel

Storm Island expansion for Forza Horizon 2 just launched, so we quickly put ourselves behind a Thrustmaster TX Ferrari 458 Italia Edition racing wheel and took a ride around the new roads. We of course captured those first minutes in the following gameplay clips for your viewing pleasure:
