Built in the 1920s, the track has over 170 corners, 300 meters of elevation changes and is famous for its long straights and the Karussell, a banked turn that gives the sensation of being in a giant bowl.

The latest Car Pack for Forza Horizon 5 includes 4 cars made locally and VW’s biggest hit in China. Take a deeper look at the vehicles featured in the Chinese Lucky Stars Car Pack.
2022 Lynk & Co 05+
Reading a plus sign at the end of a car’s name can only mean one thing: it’s time to ramp up the crazy.
Adding 14 more horsepower and 29 lb-ft of torque, the 2022 Lynk & Co 05+ does exactly that, turning a regular SUV into a crossover vehicle with a need for the track.
The Co 05+ has been fitted with a multi-link independent suspension system and a new body kit with wings and a front lip to improve downforce.
Lynk & Co’s signature SUV has the power, styling, and gear to take over the Horizon Festival this series!
2023 MG Cyberster
The spiritual successor of MG’s TF is finally here with a dash of Chinese spice and three times to power to make the wait worthwhile.
Enter the 2023 MG Cyberster, an electric convertible equipped with an all-wheel drive system and an engine capable of producing 536 bhp. This automotive fist of electronic fury can accelerate from 0-100 kmh in just 3.2 seconds, putting it right with the big hitters of the Festival.
MG’s legacy combined with the best of Chinese engineering make the MG Cyberster one of your best choices for a light cruise or the harshest of races.
2022 Wuling Hongguang Mini EV Macaron
What is not to love about the 2022 Wuling Hongguang Mini EV Macaron? Agile body, lovely name (translates to sunshine in English), electrically- powered, a paintjob you can almost taste...this lovely macaron is a warrior of the concrete jungle!
They say, “simplicity is the key to brilliance”, and this small vehicle is designed to deal with everyday urban challenges took it as its core. This practical little car is in the race to become number 1 in your heart.
Turn this panda into the ultimate Dragon Warrior with a few customization tweaks and skadoosh around the Horizon Festival this series!
2012 Volkswagen Santana
The German wonder that stole China’s heart, the 2012 Volkswagen Santana is arriving to the Horizon Festival this series.
Considered VW’s biggest hit on the Asian continent, the Santana was one of the first European cars affordable in China. This made it the first choice for taxis and government vehicles.
Germany’s Chinese connection will provide you with a ton of charm, countless hours of fun, and (above all) a ton of customization opportunities. Snatch yours this series with our latest Car Pack.
If you weren’t sure how to spend those red envelope earnings, this is your sign to get the Chinese Lucky Stars Car Pack for $4.99 USD available for purchase now.
Festival Playlist
Four weeks of great luck and rewards come in with Lunar New Year.
This month’s reward cars feature Horizon newcomers from the Asian continent including Hyundai, Lynk & Co, and MG.
Take a look at five amazing reward cars you will be able to unlock this series.
2022 Hyundai Kona
Earn 20 PTS during Week 1 “Summer” Season on the Lunar New Year Festival Playlist. Available from February 1 until February 8
The first week of this Festival Playlist brings a crossover SUV from Korea, the turbocharged and freshly overhauled 2022 Hyundai Kona.
The 2022 model received a very fitting makeover with its exterior being almost entirely a new design with more sportive lines and finishes. To wrap up the changes and upgrades, the Kona was fitted with a 195-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
Whether you want to turn the Kona into an offroading legend or have it perform at its best on the road, you will be able to unlock and modify it to your pleasing for 20 PTS on the first week of the Festival Playlist.
2022 Hyundai IONIQ 6
Earn 80 PTS starting Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the Lunar New Year Festival Playlist. Available from February 8 until February 29
The performance model in Hyundai’s line of electric vehicles will reach the Horizon Festival as a Series Reward for Lunar New Year.
The 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 6 is an EV with an aerodynamic look and function that not only makes it run more efficiently, but it also allows it to perform like a sports saloon on the track. The IONIQ 6 can take off from standstill to 100 kmh in just 5.1 seconds.
An electric car that screams performance with its flaps, aerodynamic mirrors, and wheel gap reducers, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 is a great pick for those looking to use less gas and still be fast.
2022 Lynk & Co 02 HB
Earn 20 PTS during Week 2 “Autumn” Season on the Lunar New Year Festival Playlist. Available from February 8 until February 15
Yes, you guessed right: HB stands for hatchback, which is another word for “I’m going to have so much fun in this car”.
The 2022 Lynk & Co 02 HB is the Chinese company’s shot at giving the world a hot hatch they can Phoenix dance in. This model is equipped with the Volvo Drive-E 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that we have seen in the Swedish company’s S60, XC70, and V70.
To put their own spin to it, the 02 comes with an overpower option that boosts its torque from 350 Nm to 380 Nm, and let’s this small powerhouse dash from 0 to 100 in 6.2 seconds.
Drift Arena and a hot hatch, need we say more?
2020 Hyundai i30N
Earn 20 PTS during Week 3 “Winter” Season on the Lunar New Year Festival Playlist. Available from February 15 until February 22
More power, more responsiveness, and a sportier body kit; the 2020 Hyundai i30N is getting front of line to become your favorite hatchback to drive around the Horizon Festival.
A 2.0 - liter, 4-cylinder turbo engine capable of producing 353 Nm of torque along with its brand-new 8-speed dual clutch transmission makes this car worthy of an invitation to the hot hatch party that takes place every day at the Festival.
Not straying too far away from its five-door rivals, the i30N can hit a top speed of 250 kmh and reach 100 from nothing in 6.1 seconds.
If not for all the fun a stock hatchback can bring, unlock this car for 20 PTS on the third week of Lunar New Year and see what kinds of sauce you can add with your own customization.
2023 MG MG7
Earn 20 PTS during Week 4 “Spring” Season on the Lunar New Year Festival Playlist. Available from February 22 until February 29
Another one of MG’s staples makes a revamped comeback in the 2023 MG MG7. This new version of a classic comes with a design that puts together luxury and sportive performance.
The new MG7 is geared with a 2.0-liter turbo engine capable of putting out 257 hp and producing 405 Nm of torque, catering to fans of speed; and packs it up inside a stylish outside design.
The return of the MG should be celebrated along with the New Year, and we do not know a better way to do this than taking it to the track and scoring some fast times.
What’s next
We travel back to Across the Atlantic in European Automotive.
New reward cars from the greatest car makers on the planet along with a brand-new Car Pack to drive and collect.
Along with new props and badges, this new update will bring every class to Rally Adventure Rivals !
Welcome Community Choice’s Final Week with a Huge “Olé”!
Only 99 units of the 2016 Spania GTA Spano were ever made, this means a large chunk of the world’s population was locked out of tasting its glorious V10 Twinturbo 7.9 - liter engine.
The fourth week of Community Choice will give you the chance of reaching this car’s insane top speed of 350 kmh and having a go at its incredible acceleration that allows it to reach 100 from a standstill in just 2.9 seconds.
Wear your finest traje de luces to take a ride on a hypercar born and raised in Spain.
If you have encountered any issue with this update, please make sure to report it on our Troubleshooting Hub. You will find other known issues we are currently investigating as well.
Community Choice’s last hurrah brings new unlockables and challenges to complete before February 1st:
SERIES REWARDS
80 PTS: 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO
160 PTS: 2021 Porsche 911 GT3
SPRING REWARDS
20 PTS: 2016 Spania GTA Spano
40 PTS: 1969 FIAT Dino 2.4 Coupe
The 40 PTS car for the final week is an Italian must have (and must drive). Fiat and Bertone got together and decided to make one of the best-looking cars Italy has ever seen.
The 1969 FIAT Dino 2.4 Coupe is a torque-producing beast with a 2.4-liter V6 engine and a suit that could fit any high-fashion runway.
Along with a Spanish racer and an Italian style icon, Spring Season brings a lot more rewards for you to unlock this fourth week.

It’ll be a jam-packed, including a sneak peek of Update 5 for Forza Motorsport, the Lunar New Year series update for Forza Horizon 5, Claymore MasterT representing some great drifting events for our Community Spotlight, and topped off with the 2023 Golden Tank Award winners!
An Insane Hypercar and a Classic Convertible Make the Perfect Duo.
Astonishing looks, name, and build are the three clues we needed to figure out we were heading into hypercar territory. But in case you still had a couple doubts, take a look inside the 2012 Pagani Huayra and awe in the tribute to speed that is its twinturbo 6.3 - liter V12 engine to convince yourself.
The Huayra is built to be striking to look at as well as very efficient. Its hand-assembled lightweight body is the best aerodynamic pair for its massive engine. Every detail that went into designing this car such as using a single clutch to save weight or fitting a titanium exhaust was made thinking about its total weight and how the air flows when it drives. No wonder Pagani decided to name this one after an ancient god of wind.
Unlock this monstrous car for 20 PTS on the third week of Community Choice until January 25!
Let us know what you’d like to see in Forza Horizon 5 in the future. Send your ideas and suggestions to our team through the Suggestions Hub.

SERIES REWARDS
80 PTS: 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO
160 PTS: 2021 Porsche 911 GT3
SPRING REWARDS
20 PTS: 2012 Pagani Huayra
40 PTS: 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL
Mercedes Benz cars have been recognized for everything ranging from their extraordinary engineering, succulent design, incomparable speed, and astounding looks. The 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was no different, standing out from other cars of the era by its unique roof. This 280 SL was nicknamed “pagoda” due to the particular shape of the ceiling fitted in the convertible.
Not a particularly strong competitor out of the box but try swapping that engine and adding race accessories and you might be on the right path to create a top-of-the-line racer.
Unlock and let your mind go wild with the 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL for 40 PTS until January 25.
