Omg the Ami is so slow. I really thought the Peel would be the slowest car for my time trials by far. Time to prepare for a 2 hour Goliath time

I hope the engine can be swapped for something somewhat stronger.

Okay, figured I should go ahead and make my preliminary predictions for Horizon Holidays--and the Series after that, since the Holiday Update's usually a double-Series update to allow PG time to take a break.

I would actually bet against that for this end-of-year update, seeing as Expansion 1 is slated for January and Fable is slated for February, so there probably won't be an extended break this year compared to the years prior since there is a lot of work still to be done at the studio, think the same held true when Fortune Island released in 2018, but that was just before i got FH4
Digolgrin
We know we're getting three New-to-Horizons again this update. Assuming they're all meant to race around our new Evolving World circuit, then they have to fit in a track that can fit inside the Horizon Stadium. Probably not a Track Toy update, then, though I'd love to see some more for a Christmas present.

My guess, though, is that this might be where we see some of the wagons from Horizon Holidays Mix-Up coming back into the fold for our two returning cars. Placing my bets on the Bentley Flying Spur and Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Wagon, with maybe the Hammer Wagon from the European Automotive car pack coming in for a dark horse bet.

As for my guesses for the rest of the series:
  • A combination of the Ice Rink and the Winter Wonderland track from FH5 potentially, or maybe even a giant oval with the ice rink in the middle, similar to how FH5 had the Oval, but this time with extra ice in the middle, maybe like a mini-Daytona
  • No special event for the FP like the ""Gifting thing"" they did in 2022 and 2023, wasn't well received enough to draw resources away from Expansion 1/2.
  • Cars really can't be called, will be a grab bag of whatever they have available and which is potentially high up the SHUB (The one call i will make is at least one 2024+ vehicle, keeping up the streak of at least 1 2024/2025 car being added per update that's been kept up since Series 3, looking up things, the 2025 BMW XM might be an alright bet on that front, that or a Subaru Wilderness car of some kind).
 
Will the Altezza and R33 appear at the Aftermarket spots a second time after you've bought them? Considering mine up on the Auction House for a quick buck, but would also still like a coupe models of each.

Similarly, I really wish the S660 was a Car Pass car so I could have multiple models of it, the customisation of it might be the best of any car in the game, bummer I won't easily be able to have few different builds ready to go.

They should reappear, i heard stories of people getting 2-3 of each from that
 
Especially with convoy hopping instead of restarting the game you can get as many as you want of them.
 
After digging around i managed to find something interesting in the files :

S7_Eventlab_Complete.webp

This one is just a placeholder, but the name revealed more since it's named S7_Eventlab_Complete. So i think it meant that eventlab creations are to be incorporated in future series?

TreasureCar8.webp

Again another placeholder for treasure cars clue. This one is interesting since you can see what seems to be the beach near the irokawa space center with its surrounding areas untextured

HF_Journal_Image.webp

This one seems to be placeholder/concept art for horizon festival japan. You can also spot a bunch of T posing characters in this image.

Oh yeah, bringing back Seasonal EventLab makes a ton of sense. I mean, not just from the 'visibility to the community' perspective I've been coming at this from, but also the uniqueness factor.

Does honestly make me wonder what they'll choose to showcase though. By the end of FH5, they were focusing more on EventLabs that genuinely felt like they could've been real events in-game, with minimal surrealism. Is that still going to be their focus or will they start out immediately teasing Expansion 1 with what they pick out?
 
Digging thru past FH5 Holiday updates, we get at least one highly requested, or popular (often latest) New to Forza car. However, knowing that we will have our first Horizon Holidays in Japan, I think things will go a bit older. Here are my guesses.

Possible Secret Santa/Gift Rewards (if it were to come as a surprise), or possible Series Rewards
  • 1995 Suzuki Cappuccino
  • Backup: 1994 Honda Civic 1.5 VTi (rescanned definitely. They can't risk bringing the FM4 model)
Possible New to Horizon/360 Returnee Playlist Rewards, either of these
  • 2019 Toyota 86 TRD SE (New to Horizon)
  • 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser (360 returnee)
  • 2025 Lamborghini Fenomeno
  • 2025 Aston Martin Valhalla (production model)
As for the Horizon Returnees, I have no idea.

Some Insane Car Pass Guesses (We're on the last 2 Car Pass cars by now, so pick either of the two)
  • 2003 Nissan Skyine GT500
  • 1985 Nissan Fairlady 200ZG Z31
  • 2025 BMW XM
  • 2018 Toyota Century
  • 1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Jr. ZR-2

Digolgrin
I think the BMW XM is a safe lock for FH6 for sure--maybe not this update, or even this year, but if we don't get it before the live service ends three years from now I'll be shocked. Pun not intended.

If it's neither the EG6 or the Cappuccino for our big Christmas gift, I'll bet it'd be the Twingo or (and this assumes the big gift would be a hypercar or simllar) the C8 ZR1. Something tells me they may want to go hard for the first Holiday Update and something powerful like that would work well.

If PGG goes crazier (or did their research on GT7) following Series 7, they might delve into the cult car side of Japan and add some shocking cars. I am currently looking into the place where the S660 was scanned, and might talk more about what cars they have (and prolly scanned) there.

If they'd pick one of those, the 1991-1995 Civic would be my biggest bet out those cars, since that was high up both the old and new SHUB.

Any of those cars above might be worth looking out for as a car that's coming into the game (Outside of the GLE)

I hope the devs add the Cappuccino with the 937 votes it has in the future, fits perfectly the Japan structure IMO!

This is old data, from the (now taken down) Forums, showing historical data that was publicly available until the end of June.

The reason i use this over current SHUB data is because that only started 6 months ago, which is way too short imo for that to have had any bearing on their plans for that update.

These two feel like ideal Series rewards too--most especially the Valhalla, though I suppose the Valhalla's more likely than the Fenomeno. While we're on the topic of Aston-Martin, I'd still be on the lookout for the Dreadnought--something tells me that'll be our internal cross-promo car for this game, between FH and CoD.

Oh yeah, do post about that when you get a chance. There could be some juicy stuff in there!
 
So, Cult & Classic has a very large inventory (and archive) of JDMs, both sold and in-hand.

I believe that this was the exact 2020 Suzuki Every PZ Turbo Special that they scanned. Upon digging through their inventory, including past sales, there were a lot of cars that I consider interesting (doesn't mean that they are 100% scanned):

Other interesting models include a wide range of Toyota Centuries, Daihatsu Hijets, Subaru Sambars, Toyota Crowns and many more.

Here is their sold vehicles, and their current showroom.

Thread 'Forza Horizon 6 - Custom Garage/Homespace Showcase Thread'

Hey! Thought we could do with a place for everyone to their creations, like we have for liveries. I've had my frustrations with the Garage editor, but once you wrap your head around working in the tight spaces, if you've got experience with the Event Lab on FH5, then this will come to you eventually.

Finally put some time into making a space I'm happy with, in the future as we receive more prop pieces I'll update the space as suits.

Old School Tuning Shop

Inspired by the messy and chaotic garages of small tuners and mechanics in Japan, with a wall of signage and memorabilia. I...

If anyone is after a refreshed home space, I have shared some more, with more photos and details in the thread.

Today’s daily event is “Complete a Horizon Rush Event”. Since the game doesn’t allow you to sort for them, they are a subset of the Wristband events, specifically Launch Control, Pier Pressure, and Off Piste.

Also, we are now just two days from S660 Day.

There are three of them? Yay, I wasn't feeling Pier Pressure. Well, I was feeling the pressure but not the event if you see what I mean.

Honestly, if this does lead to the AE92 getting added somewhere down the line, I'd be pretty happy. But honestly, I could see a rescanned Pulsar coming out of this, with the Fiat Punto and Tommykaira as darkhorse additions.

It's the three that you can get three stars on. The others only show complete or not.

Just to speed up finding them on the map.

For this week's facts, we have got a Volkswagen Type 2 revival with an interesting development history, and a modern Alfa Romeo with a racing (and movie) history.

2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz (Electric Buzz as PGG calls it)

While there was an official ID. Buzz concept way back in 2017, there were earlier attempts in visualizing what a Volkswagen Type 2 revival would look like in the 2000s. First, we have the 2001 Microbus Concept, based on the upcoming Volkswagen T5 at that time. There was also the fully-electric Volkswagen Bulli, which was revealed in the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and the Volkswagen BUDD-e concept in 2016.

2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde

This hot hatch had a racing history, not just in Europe, but also in America. In Europe, Handy Motorsport entered the 2018 British Touring Car Championship with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, and Rob Austin behind the wheel. He was able to place 14th in the Driver's Championship.

The Giulietta also raced in the WTCR by Romeo Ferraris, and had success in the Michelin Pilot Challenge under KMW Motorsports. It was also featured in Fast & Furious 6.

Meanwhile, I will be busy with Iceland and buses in Euro Truck Simulator 2 for the time being (though I will grind the Trial and some PR Stunts by Thursday before Coaches).
 
Well that's today's daily done I guess....

When I first set a time in this last week with my own tune + on stock tires there wasn't a single other MC12 anywhere to be seen, Adriansen changed from a '24 Camaro to it in less than 18 hours as I did a much better time on Rallies then seen him on the board after, and then when I came back on 4 days later there was a whole bunch of them.

Not entirely sure though why it takes some auto idiot who only plays 3-4 times a week now to discover something that's been sat there for at least a few weeks available for much more regular and interested players to find, sometimes a bit of independent thought wouldn't go amiss amongst this game's player base, I only stumbled across it through exploring alternative options to the Enzo after that S1 Retro Supercars championship, saw it has the Alfa 8C engine swap, low drag and it was practically guaranteed the handling would be good for A class, so despite the power-weight being unremarkable I gave it a try on Goliath and it went from there.

Noa Miyako's currently the best tune available by a distance as it's what I used for this, LetzeLU's is identical power-weight but understeers more and 10th gear is needlessly long so acceleration is a lot slower there, and the rest have less power which while not much is noticeable on a build like this.
