I hope they don't make its parts available for engine swaps. Not sure I even want to get in that thing virtually.

 

[GTvsForza]

Hoping I can fully complete this Playlist, then I need to win an Eliminator and get my Open rank to 100 (currently 23)

So not only does it look crap, but having used it for the monthly rivals, the new M4 also sounds crap and feels disconnected going down a road. Mehhhhhh.

I heard that putting the racing exhaust on will make it sound closer to the real thing.

Yeah, on the previous page:

One thing that's weird, the sound recorded especially for it is only used for the upgraded exhaust. From experience and the fact that it has upshift crack sounds, that upgraded sound is the most realistic one to go for.

Did the HW championship today. It was far too easy. I won the first race by over 20 seconds, the third by over 45 seconds. The second race however I won by 1 minute and 4 seconds. I've never won a championship by that much. Has anyone else had it this easy on this championship.

On the same subject I bloody struggled with the VW Buggy championship. That took a fair few rewinds I can tell you.

After doing some digging, i found this image (i believe its should be coming from coming soon page). But i don't remember this one being used to tease HW expansion and the image itself named Nexus.png.

I also found this one named We_Will_See_You_Soon.png after latest update. Anyone know what it is?

Seasonal Bonus Boards? I can get behind that.

The second icon looks like the famous UFO called "Black Triangle".

Or it looks like a prominent crop circle discovered in 1991.
Given the presence of Easter eggs about UFOs on some of the FH5 maps, and the fact that this franchise has been more mass-oriented since FH4, I would not be surprised if this icon was indicative of a limited time UFO event, to be held during the Halloween season.

I hope this speculation is not accurate, however....

To be fair I've been waiting for something UFO related in game for ages. Like you said there's a fair few UFO references in game.

I was thinking it could be a stylized rotary icon

 

[Edax 76]

The logos in order from top to bottom are:

1, The piece of plastic used by Pizza Hut to stop the top of your pizza sticking to the box. This must mean we are getting a pizza delivery story.

2, This is clearly a Klingon Eye-Patch as seen in Star Trek 6. We are clearly getting Warp Engine upgrades for the in game vehicles. That or War Bird cloaking devices.

3, XP. Xtra Pizza. Rewards for the story mentioned above. The more you win the heavier you become from eating the pizza, thus the car gets slower making winning more difficult. This in itself will present the main challenge of the story.

1. Finally we have a use for all those Domino's liveries 👍
Presumably the story is split into 8 slices err chapters.
2. All bets are off for the country appearing in FH6. Its clearly going to be the Undiscovered Country.
3. I feel like this part has been heavily influenced by someone who played GTA San Andreas a lot 🤔

Just so long as we don't have to hunt down alien plants which only appear when it's raining.

Yeah i was initially thinking the same but the black triangle thing look almost the same with the icon.

I just wanna say that while I like the eliminator and don’t mind it being part of the festival playlist, whoever decided on the 3 opponent elimination challenge on the last day of the season can get 34+35ed.

100% agree.

Is it all-in-one or will three separate eliminations count? I accidentally did three in one go...

I’ve seen a lot of people on Reddit say that it can be during three separate eliminators.

Can’t say about it myself since I also accidentally did three eliminations in one game

I'm a terrible Eliminator player. I camp in my Beetle on the edge of the map waiting for numbers to go down. I have won one game but I will admit I got very lucky. I haven't even attempted today's daily. I've just made a Dad's Army Jeep livery instead.

 

[GTvsForza]

If they're for separate rounds, then I might get a few in tonight and finish it before the season changes tomorrow morning.

Doubt I can get the achievement for winning, but you never know...

I'm on holiday, forgot about this, and was worried I'd missed hard to get Forzathon prize cars such as the Celica or SF90. Thank goodness, I've missed nothing.

 

[Populuxe]

I can confirm you don’t have to get all three eliminations in one round. It actually took me four rounds (I had one sad but mercifully short round) to pass the challenge.

 

[Pepperoncini]

I am still working through the hot wheels expansion as I got back from vacation later than I thought. I am enjoying it a bit. I like the progression system, although sometimes I am left with some nuisance ones to finish off to move on to the next level.

Despite having a face only a mother can love (and even then), the new M4 is also surprisingly not great to drive.

 

[Justuxful]

Is it bad that I’m kinda starting to like the way the new M4 looks?

Also I like the way it drives and it’s fast, sounds amazing as well!

Hating on the looks of the new M4 is very fashionable right now. But like any car, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like it, don’t be afraid to say so.
