Set Your Fastest Lap in the Track-Tuned Lamborghini Huracán Performante
Race for victory and secure the track-tuned 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante in the Festival Playlist. Before its debut in Forza Horizon 4, this was the number one most requested car on the official Forza Forums, which is also where you’ll find like-minded drivers for this week’s Festival Playlist.
The Performante features reworked suspension, recalibrated steering, and a reported 750% more downforce than its road counterpart! At the time, it also broke the production car record at the prestigious Nürburgring Nordschleife with a lap-time of 6 minutes and 52 seconds, which Lamborghini attributes to the car’s more advanced aerodynamics system, which adjusts micro flaps on the Huracan to decrease drag and increase downforce as necessary.
Spring has flourished across beautiful, historic Britain in the final week of Series 64. There’s a crisp feeling in the air as trees and plants flourish after the harsh snowfall of Winter. Watch out for those occasional light rain showers!
You have until Thursday, August 24 to unlock the overall series rewards and participate in the Monthly Rivals and Online Adventure:
50% Completion: Horizon Backstage Pass
80% Completion: 2010 Mosler MT900S
Meanwhile, the new weekly rewards available on the Festival Playlist this Spring include:
Drive Like The Wind in the Photo Challenge by capturing any Hypercar at the Moorhead Wind Farm. It’s Street Legal in the Weekly Forzathon, where you can experience a car that was years ahead of its time thanks to its experimental nature, the 1987 Porsche 959.
Take on the Aston Martin Cup in The Trial this week and overtake a team of Unbeatable Drivatars to win the 2008 Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa.
Taxi for Takeoff in a Showcase Remix starring Isha’s 1964 Austin FX4 Taxi racing against a high-speed jet flighter! Beat it to unlock a Super Wheelspin.
Participate in the Spring Games to earn a pair of Frog Wellies. Now you’ll have some serious drip at the Horizon Festival.
Get lucky with a trio of Super Wheelspins in this week’s Seasonal PR Stunts. You’ll be taking on the Open-Cast Cliff Danger Sign, the Old Town Speed Trap and the Toft Speed Zone.
As the series draws to a close, we’re wrapping up by racing through the 80s. Rewards for completing all three Seasonal Championships include 1988 BMW M5 Forza Edition, the 2016 Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce and the 1978 Hoonigan Ford Escort RS1800.
We’ll see you next week as Summer returns for the arrival of Series 65. Until then, the Horizon Festival celebrates Spring all week long, and you’re invited to join in the festivities.

Forza Community Hubs Update #2 – Your Ideas Make Forza Better
Hello everyone and welcome to the second Feedback Update for the Forza Community Hubs. If you missed the first edition, this series of blogs is where we update our players with the latest and most popular topics posted by you on the Suggestions Hub and Troubleshooting Hub. Between celebrating new game features and car releases to sharing insights on popular topics and the latest progress on prominently reported game issues.
Since our previous blog, we’ve seen a total of 239,000 votes cast – an increase of 35% over the past three months! Thank you for these contributions. Your feedback is invaluable and is used to make Forza better for the entire community as highlighted below.
Car Voting
Let’s start with cars, the most popular forum in the Suggestions Hub! We continue to introduce highly upvoted cars into Forza Horizon 5 – here’s a look at some of the most notable vehicles we’ve added or announced, all of which are #NewToForza:
The Explore the Horizon content update upgraded Photo Mode with time of day and weather settings as well as placement of the driver character outside the car – all highly requested suggestions in the Creative section of the Suggestions Hub. A selection of trucks received overlanding parts in aero upgrades, and as part of the Upgrade Heroes update, we added 27 new rims available to equip on all cars. Body kits and rims are popular community requests – head to the Branded Car Parts section of the Suggestions Hub to let us know which third party parts you'd like to use on your cars.
In addition to the Suggestions Hub we've also been collecting feedback about the cars and content added in each series through Polls on the Forums. As a result of the community's feedback around the day/night cycle, we're extending the night-time permanently as part of the Summer Party update. Be sure to let us know how we did with the Upgrade Heroes series at the conclusion of the Spring season.
Forza Motorsport
In June we published an Initial Track List, confirming some of the 20 tracks that will be in Forza Motorsport at launch. You can still let us know which tracks you'd like to see in the game in the Suggestions Hub’s Track Voting section, where Interlagos is currently the most requested with 697 votes.
The Troubleshooting Hub is our centralized place for bug tracking, currently focused on Forza Horizon 5. User reports have helped draw attention to emerging issues and improved investigation turnaround time, as shown by a hotfix in May which addressed a driving issue impacting players using the manual shifting setting.
The current top voted FH5 Report New Issues item – Hitbox/Clipping Issues with 36 votes – will be addressed in the July content update. As you continue to post and upvote new issues, we also encourage players to upvote Known Issues so that the team can continue to monitor how widespread these issues are. Current top issues:
While we use the Forums for bug reporting, all crashing issues, lost saves, and enforcement questions should be directed to Forza Support via ticket.
You can find the list of issues we Will Not Fix, the latest update’s Release Notes and the Fixed Issues list in the FH5 Closed Issues section.
Thanks for reading this second Feedback Update for the Forza Community Hubs! Stay tuned for our next update after the release of Forza Motorsport later this year. Until the next one, we will continue to track all your Suggestions Hub ideas and Troubleshooting Hub reports, so keep them coming and don’t forget to upvote the topics that matter to you!
