A bit early but have a great holibobs bud.I'm going on holiday on June 14th so will have to get a quick 20pts the day before if I want that BX. And I do.
My birthday present is some Group B rally car that its own manufacturer thought was so bad they wanted to bury it?
I am far more excited for this coming update than I was for our current one.Looks like a fun month is ahead of us.

I mean, Magic Sword is there. A Hotline Miami fan's ear would perk up. Specially for the composer of, like, one of the best songs in the franchise. Even a late #1 PC Game Critic (RIP bro) would point to it as a perfect exemplar of the musical excellence of the game's soundtrack. In one of the pieces of retro-inspired media that greatly helped kick-start the whole trend.[...]I don't recognise a single artist on the new radio station but hey ho[...]
There is nattering that only an EV works, and of any kind. May be a similar sitch to BMW/KTM last week?For anyone having trouble getting the 2nd daily challenge to pop 'Silent Cartographer', use the Audi E-Tron. It's the only Audi I could get it to pop with. Perhaps the silent refers to electric motor compared to an ICE power unit?

Random question, which car is closest to the GTA 3 Sentinel? Would it be the Lotus Carlton?
Looks like a 190E Evo II to me.Random question, which car is closest to the GTA 3 Sentinel? Would it be the Lotus Carlton?
Assuming that the Festival Playlist has all "new-to-Forza" vehicles, and that they would really be generous enough to add all highly-requested vehicles, this is what it could look like:
80pts. - 2020 Toyota GR Yaris RZ "High Performance"
160pts. - 2023 Koenigsegg Gemera*
Week 1:
20pts. - 2022 Maserati MC20
40pts. - 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto
Week 2:
20pts. - 2018 Kia Stinger
40pts. - 2021 Ferrari Daytona SP3
Week 3:
20pts. - 2022 RAM 1500 TRX
40pts. - 2022 Koenigsegg CC850
Week 4:
20pts. - 2019 Audi RS Q8
40pts. - 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S 680
I won't make any guesses for a potential car pack as Horizon Retrowave doesn't have one. Also, the Koenigsegg Gemera, if it were to be added, should likely have the 2,300hp hybrid V8.
Okay so I'll have to change my criteria for predictions on what the next Festival Playlist could look like:So about that Highly Requested Car thing Modern Horizons is teasing. This might be overthinking it, but I figured it was referring to cars that came into existence sometime in the last five years (so about 2019 to 2024). I went through the Suggestions Hub at a friend's urging and threw together the following list of likely contenders:
1) 2024 Toyota GR Yaris (1938 votes, jeez)
2) Koenigsegg Gemera (1868 votes)
3) Bugatti Bolide (1755 votes but people seem to think it might belong in FM2023 more)
4) 2020 Maserati MC20 (1527 votes)
5) Lamborghini Revuelto (1358 votes)
Part of me is becoming more and more convinced that the car they're referring to is the MC20, because according to that leak @nukleabomb posted, it's been in the files for a while now--not to mention it is the kind of car that's absolutely worth teasing and theming an entire car update around. While a good chunk of these are at the very least headline car material--the Yaris kinda isn't that for me but PG can do PG--a lot of them are also cars you would want to drop a teaser of right before the stream at the very least, not hype up for a full month. The MC20 absolutely fits that bill.
But, at the same time, the last time PG said "hey we're adding a highly requested car to the game", we got the Tsuru, which was the most highly requested car in the game at the time (which the SLR, I believe, now has the lead on and has a model that came out in the last decade), so given this criteria the Yaris might come out on top and we'll be getting an update dominated by marketing partner buy-in rides. We'll have to see.
This seems a little optimistic, especially making the Yaris into a Series reward and not a Playlist reward, and making some of the others into 40 point cars. But honestly I could see this for the Playlist itself, theming the entire series around the most requested modern cars.Okay so I'll have to change my criteria for predictions on what the next Festival Playlist could look like:
