Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

From Art Nuen 2 today.

From Highball Cars And Coffee

On the road

I'm sure I've seen at least 3 others. This did not happen with the previous generation.

Including the dealership one, I've seen 3 total

This one at a local cars and coffee (owner was kind enough to let me sit inside)

Another one at, of all places, Shedfest at Mallory Park

So, question for y'all. I'll soon have all the Backstage Passes I'll need to fill my garage back up, assuming the cars I still need pop back into Horizon Backstage. I've been thinking about drawing back the amount of work I do with the Playlist so I only get the 20 point reward car, and with everything slowing down, I'm beginning to think I won't need the expansions installed on my Steam copy--I'd just stay in Mexico from this point on. If I do that, would I lose access to the cars they added?

Granted, of those cars, I only really use Colin McRae's Focus and the Venom F5, on occasion, though I've come around on the Bad to the Blade recently, so it wouldn't be a huge loss for me if I did. But it's worth asking.

The Safarri Mountains tune - I hope they paid Rick Astley for that? 🤔

Also, I see they've added a filter on the Backstage list for owned/not-owned... which doesn't actually work! It still lists all the cars when you click on not-owned. Had to scroll through the list to find i was missing the Koenigseggseggseggseggsegg

At least in terms of content on the disk, the expansions are just the maps, all of the cars are in the base game install (one reason it's so large). This is so that driving those cars in Mexico doesn't break the game for players who don't own the expansions.

I can't say for certain whether there are any licensing / ownership issues with trying to drive those cars with the expansions not downloaded, but at the very least the files will be there.

There’s this color but I don’t believe you can change the stripe color without doing a custom stripeView attachment 1403967porsche racing green with lizard green accents.

You can´t change the color of the stripe, you can only use they ones they have already for the manufacturer colors (red, light & dark gray). I made a Porsche racing green livery with the gray stripe. One with black & one with gold rims. Unfortunately I am not good enough for a custom stripe 😅

Also stitching changes with different colors so let's say if you want black stripe and red stitching use manufacture red with black stripe and then change your color back to your custom color but if you want yellow stitching use manufacture yellow with black stripe 🙂 same with other colors

Well this week's playlist Eventlabs were rather disappointing. The offroad event was one of the least fun I've done out of all on the playlist so far.

On the other hand, the 911 Dakar is really good. Definitely a new favourite.

I really do think the 911 Dakar should've gone into S1 Rally Monsters, it feels way better than top-of-A-class would imply for its class. I mean, I thought it was excessive before, but holy cow it feels amazing to drive.

EDIT: I mean, seriously, look at this thing in comparison to the Hoonigan Escort you get almost immediately after starting the game, the two are very much comparable:

I agree totally with you bud. Also, just how good is the new Halo music on Radio Eterna?

Took me 3 ****ING YEARS but I can finally do a Fist Pump!

Yeah the eventlabs this week are "not good" to put it mildly. The offroad-event on the main map has bumps everywhere. You just suddenly get catapulted into the nearest wall. I had to use the rewind button a lot 🙄 And the eventlab island one isn´t much better.

On the possitive side this week: the Dakar Porsche is really good. I used it for this weeks trial with a tune and it worked like a charme.
