One observation about what to expect from the Expansions that I just had.
If you look at the little placeholder screenshots they use on the Steam page right now, each expansion seems to have a color associated with it. Now, this is probably me reading too much into it, especially since FH5's expansion teaser colors don't line up with what they actually are, but, well, I'll share it anyway.
Expansion 1's color is purple. In the context of Horizon event types, purple is usually meant to denote street racing events, with teal now being used for the touge events. This could imply an expansion centered around a larger city, but if this is Fast and Furious, then it'd make sense on that level too.
By comparison, Hot Wheels was teased with this weird burnt orange color--which I imagine was meant to throw folks off about what this actually was before the formal reveal, but considering the prominence of orange on that map, it makes sense.
Expansion 2 for FH6 is being teased with the same shade of bright orange used for the dirt events, which makes sense considering that's usually what Expansion 2 is in the context of Forza Horizon, an off-road oriented expansion in the untamed wilderness of the host country. I still predict this is either inspired by Hokkaido or the Nagoya area.
Rally Adventure was also teased with purple, like Expansion 1 of FH6, but considering that FH5's 'color' was pink, I think this was likely meant to signify that the second Expansion map would be in Mexico itself still. Remember, different director, likely a slightly different art team.
