I still think China is an option.
It'd certainly line up with the biome diversity Mexico had. But hey, if you can't go to China or Japan without ruffling feathers or radically altering the map so it doesn't "feel" like either country, there's always South Korea or Malaysia.

That being said... I don't think PG or Turn 10 would just go to the Nissan Heritage Museum and scan four Japanese cult cars or (presumably) grab a Mark II from a JDM garage in Britain if they didn't consider Japan to be a major contender for a setting. Whatever they're doing, it sounds serious.

If it was Malaysia there’d probably be more Protons (gimme gimme gimme). Philippines also has an underrated car culture.

If it’s Japan though I don’t think it will be in Tokyo. I think it will be somewhere smaller like Sapporo or Okinawa (mix of Japanese and American cultures). Even Osaka is difficult due to its proximity to Kobe and Kyoto.

If you’re looking for America but in Asia though, Forza Horizon: Guam would be kind of sick lol.

It doesn't entirely tally with their values of inclusion and diversity though.

Independtly if you are right, left or center, companies only care about profits and shareholders
the only value they truly care is the value of the money, independly if they are in USA, China, somewhere in middle east or even Antartica

First of all, GAC and Zeekr, two mainland Chinese manufacturers, have text strings and textures in the game's files. Zeekr is owned by Geely, one of PG's marketing partners, and they're also the current owners of Lynk & Co, so it's likely they'll make the jump and not GAC, but it's absolutely worth mentioning.
GAC is more than likely to be for motorsport tho (besides FH5 had some TCR cars)

Considering how many Chinese cars we got in this game, that’s not out of the question.

Singapure is more likely than china, considering how much % of its population has connections with China
TDU:SC for exemple tried to explore chinese market with hongkong, i dont doubt that Forza could try do the same with singapure

about Japan, as i mentioned before there has a region around mt fuji that is mostly rural with smaller cities that could make lot of sense for Horizon, also its exactly most regions that touge racers go to race

also its visually amusing, here is a shot of a japanese drama currently airing that is on that mt fuji region
try imagine car photos with such a view, amazing isnt?

The only thing I'm worried about is the lack of elevation. I had the opportunity to drive up Bukit Timah Hill last year though and it's very picturesque but 163m isn't very high.

Vídeo in portuguese
dude only copy and paste info he founds here, nothing new to talk about
the worst part is that, instead of credit the user for commetary, he wants take credit as much as possible saying stuffs like "i remembred myself" when it was a gt planet user that wrote it instead

you should spend more time interacting here and talking than watching such channels...

I think Okinawa or Hokkaido would be darn near ideal personally, the vibes from Okinawa were pretty much the biggest inspiration for the PS2 era. But I also think the area around Mount Aso in Kyushu would be a neat place to set a festival too, you have a big mountain to the south, a flood plain all around, and a lake not too far away. Just about the only thing you're missing would be a major body of water to act as a natural map border.

proton in forza is literally in my wet dream

Singapore is definitely underrated too. That would be very fun. I’m considering visiting there and Kuala Lumpur on holiday this year.

Would also be a place where we could get a Proton in Forza lol
