Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[willbsn13]

As mentioned before, the hint of "grab your favourite convertibles" in the blurb of the Upgrade Heroes article could suggest some new drop-tops coming to the game.

We know the 2010 Porsche Boxster and the 2006 Ford GTX1 have been leaked and would potentially make perfect sense for a convertible focused season. You also have plenty new-to-forza convertibles that would work like the Ferrari Roma, Aventador SVJ Roadster etc. Plus there's heaps ones from FH4/FH3 that could be brought back.

List:
2012 Audi R8 GT Spyder
2018 BMW i8 Roadster
2000 BMW Z8
1959 BMW 507
1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster
1953 Ferrari 500 Mondial
1948 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta
1995 Honda CR-X Del Sol SiR
1970 Honda S800
2006 HUMMER H1 Alpha Open Top
1961 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage
1957 Maserati 300S
1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata
1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL
2018 MINI John Cooper Works Convertible
2018 Morgan Aero GT
2000 Plymouth Prowler
1960 Porsche 718 RS 60
1957 Porsche 356A Speedster

The story could be Ramiro focused, or it could be potentially another version of the British Racing Green Story from FH4. The thumbnail used in the teaser is the exact same as in FH4 and there's also a number of drop-top British vehicles cut from FH4 that would be welcome to return.

1958 Aston Martin DBR1
1965 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III
1954 Jaguar XK120 SE
1953 Jaguar C-Type
1956 Lotus Eleven
1958 MG MGA Twin Cam
1938 MG TA Midget
1967 Sunbeam Tiger
1979 Triumph TR7 Roadster
1970 Triumph TR6 PI
1962 Triumph Spitfire
1962 Triumph TR3B

I could easily see maybe 4/5 cars in the Festival Playlist and then 2 cars in the Story, for a 6/7 car season.

Features wise - could we finally see PG fix some of the non-functioning convertibles like the 2012 SLK AMG? Who knows.

That's definitely concept art, and typically these don't indicate anything about content in a game, just the vibes.

I'm still waiting for the DAF Dakar truck....

I finally cleaned up my garage, so now I have one of every car again.

I keep on having to ditch a bunch each series. I'm back on 967 again I do with they'd give you the option to receive, sell, or gift like Wheelspin/Super Wheelspin prizes (and some marker on whether you own it or not).

Also I've pre-emptively made a B700 Classic Sports Car tune for this week's PR Stunt Speed Trap/Speed Zone based on the Capri. It'll do an easy 112mph through the Zone and 126mph through the Trap, so if the targets are higher than that don't bother Otherwise: 281 317 448

Edit: And a BRZ for The Trial - 546 604 297

Edit: The BRZ will beat the AI, but there's better tunes for outright pace; the Capri has no bother with the PR Stunts!

If you want to go red rather than blue, I used a code off internet for the GT86 in the Trial: 872 471 050
It was magnificent, beat everyone (AI and human) by miles.

 

[Justuxful]

I'm so damn happy that the second best Merc ever made is back, I love that car so much.

It obviously should've been in the game from the start, but we move on from that this time.

Now to continue waiting for the best Merc ever to make a return, dammit Forza make it happen.

I don’t think the Sauber C9 is a good fit for Horizon 😁

That Copper Canyon Rally Park eventlab this week was insane: The creator took a whole set of hotwheels roads (and 3 loops) and built it into the canyon, including on top of existing roads. He then added a layer of fake dirt effect tiles on top of all the hot wheels roads, and turned it into a dirt race.

The sheer amount of work which must have been needed to make it all fit together is incredible.

It gave me vibration white finger of the eyeballs.

The S 65, particularly the W221 we lost years ago? Please get it voted so it would see the light of day again. The original Forza Horizon is like a lost relic of cars that have never returned.

We still haven't had an announcement for Forza Monthly right?

 

[CarbonDaimon]

No 😢

 

[Nacho Libre]

I'm sensing a delay...

 

[Beebo]

We still haven't had an announcement for Forza Monthly right?

Not that I've seen...really hope it isn't another week's wait.

 

[skazz]

I thought they did the monthly early in the week of the new season, i.e. next week Tuesday?

 

[space_wadet]

Kinda late to announce it but, Forza monthly on Monday. Not sure there will be Motorsport info though...

 

[GTvsForza]

Longer days and nights, huh?

🤔

I guess she means people stay out longer in the warm weather?

Heh.

The Spring Season will run through to 1430UTC on Thursday July 20, bringing Series 22 to a close. Summer of Series 23, “Summer Party”, will replace it and we’re due to find out more about that on Monday July 17.

Both Eventlabs were very good this week. Really enjoyed both.

Whoever decided to give the SL65 the Zonda engine swap deserves a raise.

Yeah I saw this the other day to. Hoki does some good stuff on YouTube (and in game).

Tuesday midnight for me. Not sure if I should get up in the middle of the night to see this...

Hopefully it won't send you back to sleep.

If anyone else has as much fun as i have in the weekly Trial and drives it a lot every day please feel free to give my Subi BRZ tune a try and maybe a like Would really appreciate that.

 

[Johnny Caisse]

I hope they add an option to turn off online racing collisions in some online modes. I tried a few Horizon Tours and these were ram fests... I know, it's not realistic to a lot of people and it dumbs down the racing but at least an option to turn 'em off would benefit some of us.

 

[skazz]

Self-created online races in FH5 can have collisions disabled completely. But you need to race with a group to get that, hoppers for pure online racing only disable collisions for the first few corners to avoid the worst pile ups.

The Tour is supposed to be cooperative so there are no disabled collisions. I advise you to build a car with very high launch and acceleration (i.e. AWD) for the Tour to out accelerate the humans and get away from first corner messes that way. I have very good win rates for the Tour when I use that type of car.
