Heh, I just got the Audi Sport Quattro S1, the AMG Hammer Coupe, and the Ford F-150 through the power of credits.

So you permanently bought the game but also have Game Pass? Also I think you can do everything in the Festival Playlist except the online stuff which I dont think is much you are missing out on.

No, I don't have Game Pass, as I cancelled it a year or so ago, whenever they did the absurd price hike. But I did permanently buy the game.

And yeah, missing out on most of the online components isn't too bad (unless they've gotten a lot better since 5, which I only used via Game Pass). But it locks me out of several award cars, and the non-ghosted Drivatars along with other traffic in free roam can get irksome when going for a PR stunt.
 
For me they have gotten better to the point I actually played the online modes this time around. Maybe they're not essential, but they're more than tolerable for the most part as something else to do in the gap between seasons.

I can finally retire from food delivery.

I wish we'd got the funky aqua and yellow trainers/sneakers separately instead of just as part of the outfit. People would probably still complain that we didn't get the van though.

Small thing, but I am happy with how they are handling the Festival Playlist photos. If there is a prize car, it is shown in the picture. I wonder if they are doing this to avoid the screw ups they had in Horizon 4 and 5, where cars that were not in the game where shown by accident.

It took me fifteen ✪✪✪✪✪✪✪ laps to finally beat your Beat. It was that double 90° right hand hairpin on the south end of the circuit that kept doing me in. I’d be leading up to that point, but your Beat would zip around those two corners like a dog with the zoomies while my Opel negotiated it with all the stateliness of an ocean cruise ship serving dinner.

I forgot to mention... watch out for the kink just before the end of Kinkajou-ki Kinkaku-ji Trail. You really need to set up a wide angle by approaching it further on the right to take it at any kind of speed above a crawl. I even tried turning Stability Management on but the car just spins if you try and hug the corner. Good luck.

How is it that you can only get 758HP out of an RB26 in this game? Am I missing something? It's absolutely pathetic when you consider that many built RBs in real life can produce over 1000HP. And yes, the Corvette E-Ray does indeed have a "traditional" 4WD system rather than a hybrid one. 78% of total power is sent to the rear. The performance is very much fudged because having two engines operate in tandem all the time is obviously too complex for Forza Horizon's physics model.
 
Maybe I'm an Aussie and used to seeing 1000hp GT-Rs like they're a dime a dozen down here but I'm a bit disappointed in the RB power figures especially for the R34. I built up an R34 last night as a drag car and was left scratching my head at the power fully modded. Where has it gone?
 
Far as I'm concerned the music slider should go up to eleven. Having a non-surround setup I can barely hear it over the deafening car audio unless I turn everything else down.

It's hardly a debacle of any description, though.

So, how many races etc would I have to win to unlock the Gold Wristband? Only way to access The Trial which is rather annoying. I get the impression that PG with all this FOMO stuff think everyone only has time for FH6 🙄

It's not just races, though races earn more points proportionally.

Anything that earns HF points (not DJ points) counts towards Wristband progress. Have a look at your journal, work out what bonuses you can pick up quickly, and do that.

any activities that fills the festival journal (left of the two) works towards the gold wristband
 
Playing the Eliminator's like playing a League of Legends game but worse.

You run into a level 5 car as a level 2, you have a very high chance of losing, even when the guy on the level 5 car has 0 skill and believes that more trees are actually destructible.

I'd prefer Spec Racing unless the playlist requires The Eliminator.

I did nine Eliminators for one measly playlist point this week. Most of those were by mistake, though, since I didn't look at the clock and the challenge wasn't active yet so it's my fault. The Horizon Play level boost was worth it, but I also prefer Spec with the occasional non-Spec race to mix things up. Provided you don't run into any rammers (or rather vice versa) it's an ok experience.
