True???
I doubt it too, but would bloody love it to be true 🤞🤞🤞
 
Looks like someone copied and pasted the car lists for the Twister films from Internet Movie Car Database and made a wishlist car pack
Yeah, that's the feeling I get from this too. The only things this guy's posted are very low-effort posts in the Suggestions hub from March of this year, so his credibility is pretty much rock-bottom.

In short, I consider this very, very, very fake.
 
Even if it were true, being that it's from a "Forza Insider," they wouldn't be one for long after breaking the NDA.

And there is the flaw with the Forza Insiders program, anyone can join and they will post whatever crap they like and people will believe it because the poster is an Insider.

It's fake. Too many cars and they stated it would be free. A car pack that large would never be free.

Yeah, if anything it'd be priced like the existing Universal Studios and Fast X packs--which, I know how I feel about that, being five-car packs priced at $10.

Plus, Forza Insiders are currently focused on Forza Motorsport. There's no way this guy would apparently have access to an FH5 pack. That'd be like me getting access to that role, seeing that HighLow was coming back on Donut (which it is now, using S550 Mustangs) and being like "Hey, Donut Media Part Three is back on the menu boys!" with no proof besides.

I mean, sure, I fully expect this next Car Pack to be a collab car pack too, but considering the Let's Go stream this Friday is placing the Doncic Camaro front and center, I wouldn't be surprised if we're skipping this month too. This seems like hoping for something really big.

Not true.
We might get cows though. Cows, we got cows...

(I was fortunate to meet Bill Paxton at London Comic Con, great guy)

Top tip time team.

For this week's Eventlab titled 'Gabriel Szayel Presents', do it in the 2022 Ford Focus ST with @Seb75 Mean Green livery (138 190 414).

With the neon lighting on the course reflecting off the cars paintwork it's like being in Salvador Dali's head whilst he's drunk on Absinthe 😂😂😂.

Try it, you'll see what I mean.

I may not have a GPU capable of raytracing but holy crap this gets psychedelic fast. This EventLab's great either way, it's very much an improved Cathedral Circuit, but man this is somethin' else.

That was one hell of a race. You need sunglases for this 😎
 
I thought about just saying nothing about this but... it's been gnawing at me for the last couple hours so I'm just gonna say it.

A lot of the challenge rewards and Forzathon Shop items this Series have been German. I know this probably doesn't mean much, just a commemoration of the game being at Gamescom, but considering how Cars and Coffee teased the Donut Media merch coming back with a horn in the Playlist, I wonder if this is meant to signal a German automotive theme for the update, like if we're getting the R8 Performance and M5 Competition or something. It's just something I've noticed.
 
Worst Trial, and first time I've had to re-enter, in ages. Four out of six humans just being straight arseholes.

We only won the second time round because I backed off at the end of lap one to let three humans past and blocked three AI until the humans were out of sight and one AI missed a checkpoint, and even then I nearly caught up with the dumbass humans at the end of lap three.

One day in the future, just after Hell freezes over, people will learn that The Trial is a team event and play as one.......... hopefully.🤞
 
I'm loving the Durango SRT Hellkitty, about damn time it finally showed up in Mexico. I know some people think it's not a worthwhile addition as we already have the regular Durango SRT, but since we have both SRT versions of the Grand Cherokee, it only made sense to give the Durango the same treatment.

Also, this is our first new Stellantis car since the Belvedere if we don't count the movie-branded ones, so I really hope this means that PG and Stellantis sorted out the licensing issues and more of their cars are on the way soon. Maybe finally we will get the damn TRX that is long overdue and so highly requested.

I worry for those who believed that was real.
Let me tell you a story about back in the days of Gran Turismo 4. There was a wishlist thread on this site (that I participated in), and there were numerous people who posted it on other sites claiming it was the actual car list for the game. It was amazing the amount of people who didn't have critical thinking skills and believed that it was true!

I think it was GT3 (because GT1 had ~200 cars, and GT2 had ~600 cars, so people thought GT3 would have many more), but I do recall the list was 2,000+ cars long and ended up being posted on a bunch of sites as a confirmed car list and then repeatedly posted back here as if people had found out the confirmed car list and were super excited to bring us this exclusive information.
 
Talking about GT1, GT2 and GT3, would be great to have more racecars like the Corvette C6.R GT1, Aston Martin DBRS9 GT1, Porsche 997 RSR GT2, Ferrari 458 GT2, Mercedes SLS GT3, Gallardo GT3, 997 GT3 RS (the GT3 racecar version) like late 2000s, early 2010s racecars. They were so cool, so clean.

(Inhale copium)

Wouldn't be surprised if it was both!
 
Okay, honestly after this update I do struggle to imagine what they could bring. Sure there's the AE92 and the AE111, but... Unless there's some high-profile '90s supercars or performance cars we're missing like the 1995 Mustang Mach 1 from FH1, this update added all the great '90s JDM cars we're missing aside from the Cappuccino and the kei cars of the time.

Just from cars that haven't been released but for which plans have been leaked at any point in the past, there's a Suzuki Samurai, Lincoln MkVIII LSC, Ford Mondeo, Ford Thunderbird, Acura Legend, and more, without getting into exotic stuff like the Lagonda or Venturi 300.

Outside of that the list of interesting 90s cars not in Forza is endless - you could make an entire season and car pack just from Peugeot and Citroen, for example. If you just wanted famous supercars and sportscars, Ferrari had the 456 and 348, there's the Viper RT/10, and the fact that we've never had a stock Porsche 964 in Horizon (but there's now a Turbo S in Motorsport...). Dozens upon dozens of obscure performance cars too, from the AC Aceca to the Yamaha OX-99 (couldn't think of one starting with Z!).
 
Back to the 90 is, or back to the thing belonging to 90?

Nineties isn't "Ninetie's". It should be 90s (Nineties) or '90s (reflecting the dropped "19").


I'm also quite sure they said very overtly that Pathfinders would be back this Series...

My first thought for a '90s car is this.....

The Alfa Romeo GTV. We use to own one about 15 years ago. We had it for 5 years and it was lovely. We had the 2 litre T Spark.

We only had to part with it due to an expanding family. Oh how I miss that car, even though at 6ft 5 driving it was a bit of a squeeze 😂😂😂.
