Man, watching Nick's reaction to the update gave me a sour taste...

For anyone wondering the release time for the Expansion tomorrow. Its 18.00 UTC.
Dang it, that's noon for me and I'll be at work...

10 different liveries for 1 car model, meh, but this begs to question, what is the garage limit in this game? I don't think it was ever mentioned, perhaps I missed it?

If we are reaching it soon, do we need to go through the silly game with PG devs on the forums/social media who pretend it's "impossible" to implement an increase, but end up doing it each and every time. I would hope they used the limit from FH4 and doubled it or added on a reasonable number to that previous limit.
 
Perhaps the various data limits have not changed at all from FH4 (after the update).
Therefore, the fact that they have made most of these cars exclusive makes it a tricky issue for collectors.

The various data limits have always been a debated issue, but while PGG has made updates and improvements to this issue, they have also done the opposite, intentionally making this issue worse, and I am no longer sure how serious they are about this issue.

Its 1000. I've hit it a few times. At first I set out out to have have atleast two of every car (one I'd use the other keep stock)and I liked to keep 3-4 of the Forza Edition cars and of rare and valuable cars worth keeping buts its so bad that I had to limit myself heavily down to 2 of most of the FE cars (I still kept my 4 Sestos and the good FE's) most basic auto show cars I just keep one Etc.

Its the same with livery designs, I've hit the limit of those and have had to delete ones that I dont use as much.

I remembered during livestream back when they increase garage capacity to 1000 cars, mike brown said they have almost reach the limit of save size (i assumed cloud save).
 
Because the Hummer is the only one with anything different compared to the other 9 teams. Just plain laziness is the best answer.

Will the New Zealand Region change trick, that gave early access to FH5 hours before its intended release time work in this scenario?

I believe in the livestream, they said it would be launched worldwide at the same time, so no need to change the clock.
 
Pretty annoying that PG are padding the list by splitting the Extreme E cars as separate models when the teams are running the same spec car according the regs. Could have been easier to have the base liveried Odyssey and have the team liveries selectable in the paint shop.
Could have been harder to convince all the teams and sponsors to have their own car featured as a livery for a generic "Spark Odyssey 21".

It's strange to me that having the Hummer livery without the Hummer design on the stock Odyssey body doesn't cause any licensing issues
****'s baffling - I can't recall ever seeing the Hummer livery displayed on the standard Odyssey body, and it looks like they actually had to redesign the nose area quite extensively, too. Do we know for a fact that the #99 doesn't feature its special front-end design as a body part?

I don't really mind the fact they're 10 different entities, as I said earlier today that's something we've been accustomed to with spec series/chassis and individual licensing, and it's something pretty much every racing game has to deal with. The NASCAR expansion in FM6 added 24 cars whereas in reality without the licensing nightmares it was only 3 cars with various paintjobs. Same with Indycar, Formula E and V8 Supercars. Hell, the JGTC GT500 cars in Gran Turismos of the past are a really good example. GT4 had 16 cars in its roster, but also only 3 different makes. That's not an issue, and it's understandable. As I said yesterday, licensing is weird.

What annoys me is that we're going to have to buy 1 of them and we'll have to do various events with various difficulties to win the same car with a different livery over and over for a full month. They should have put all 10 of them in the autoshow, and you just buy/use your favorite livery. I wanted to use the McLaren because reasons, and it's going to be the hardest/most time consuming one to get, it seems.
 
So, when does hotwheels actually launch? As I was hoping like usual it'd be ready when I got off work.

The good thing about all this (if you own the expansion) is that the festival playlist has events on the expansion map that add to the series tally of points im addition to the standard no. of points. So you can get the mclaren a bit quicker.
But since all the porsches are cars I wanted back, for me, I will be getting 20pts per season minimum anyways.

Let's hope each series after this leans more heavily into "New to Forza" cars rather than "New to Horizon 5". Atleast 3 of 4 each update. While they are at it, they can port over the backstage pass and maybe even the businesses too.

People should be more happy that this content is completely free of charge instead complaining about some details! 😛
Here's a delicious cupcake!.. but also, I'm going to slap you across the face.

Its free, don't complain.
 
I’m ready for Hot Wheels.

I have the day off from work.
Fridge full of food and drinks.
XBox Series S hooked up to my big TV for playing the game.
XBox One X hooked up to my little TV to follow the livestream on YouTube.
iPad for following the discussion here with all my fellow Horizon Pals™️.
 
What a great example of a human being you are. 😅
What did you expect when telling others they should be more happy. You have no idea about the pain they have to endure now. If there was just one model named Spark Odyssey life would be much better.

Personally I don't know why players expected one model with different liveries in the first place. It was never ever happened in Forza history to not have official team names with official liveries for racing cars. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Or as I said earlier, maybe they were only given one car to scan and so they had to use the same livery on that model. It's not necessarily laziness, but rather what resources they had access to at the time.
