Still nothing my end either in sunny Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire? I lived in Upper Heyford for a couple years in the early '80s.
 
The update is out for PC for 90 minutes already. Xbox can't take much longer.
 
It's downloading here in hot Mexico City... about 12.8 GB for the Series X/S.

The car pass for PC is showing in game but not yet purchaseable.

Can someone please tell me how to get the Barbie cars? They are not gifted, and they are listed in the car list as acquired via Forzathon shop or seasonal playlist - did you guys set your clock forward to Thursday to get them early or something?

I have a feeling that the Barbie cars will be promo cars like the Oreo Pagani.

nope, they are listed in the official car list, unlike the promo cars, so everyone should be able to collect them and they count towards garage % completion.
 
In that case, most likely gifted cars like the Cupra last year.
 
I can't wait to put Tyres McSquealer in Barbie's car....
 
Huayra R is fun. Sounds great and I love the crunchy gear changes. Haven't tried the other cars yet. Lotus does look very pretty though.

The fire extinguisher tab and door pulls in the Forsberg Altima are weirdly well animated, as in they actually respond the way they would in real life under movement rather than just jittering about the way the wipers and mirrors do on every other car in the game.
 
Just purchased the Racing Pack on Xbox, so should be good to go hopefully.
 
The low car has the V8 intake as a hood option so I guess low car will get a V8 swap and high car will stay turbo’d.

I haven't had a chance to try this update yet, but I did see an interesting article about Barbie's Corvette.
It is obvious from the outside that this Corvette in the movie is a filming replica of a toy for Barbie, scaled up to real life scale.
But this Corvette replica is more than just a Barbie-sized Corvette. The cnet article notes that this Corvette replica adopts some of the external features found on GM EVs, suggesting that it is probably a promotion for GM's EV strategy.

While the Barbie Corvette in FH5 resembles the Corvette in the movie, some details are closer to those of the real world C1.
Is this Corvette really an ICE like the real C1? Or is it an EV like the movie car?

I am absolutely going to see this in the theaters. The cast is amazing and it just looks like so much fun.
