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!
Drive the 2020 Hot Wheels Legends Tour Winner in Forza Horizon 5
The barbecue continues to sizzle as the Summer Party enters its second week at Horizon Mexico!
As part of the iconic Legends Tour, Riley Stair created a custom Trans Am that was picked to be made into a Hot Wheels car; this bespoke variant of the beloved muscle car is now within your reach via the Festival Playlist!
Riley’s creation packs a serious punch bursting over 1,000 horsepower under the hood with a mind-blowing iron block LSx V8 that was built especially for the car. This spiced-up version of the Trans Am will be available starting July 27.
This week the Forzathon Shop features an old-timey speedster (with massive steampunk vibes), the Napier Railton straight out of 1933. Bask in the glory of its W12 engine that can amass 580 bhp!
You will also be able to find the stunning 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista. The iconic hood, magnificent racing stripes, and the mightiest V8 Ferrari had ever made, make this a must have for lovers of the Prancing Horse and motorheads alike. The Air Guitar emote and Orange Race Suit clothing item will also be available to give your character a fresh look.

Unlock the Monstrous Hennessey Camaro Exorcist in Icons of Speed
Summer Party has started in Forza Horizon 5 with the new Icons of Speed Horizon Story now available to play. Complete it to unlock the 2019 Hennessey Camaro Exorcist, a truly monstrous car considered the definition of unlimited horsepower on four wheels. Its powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine accelerates from 0-60mph in 2.1 seconds before reaching a top speed of 217mph. A formidable muscle car that celebrates the thrill of the open road and supercharges it to new heights.
This series is also your chance to drive the 2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT, available for 80 PTS on the Summer Party Festival Playlist. This specialized build is fitted with a custom TT Designs widebody kit, a Roush supercharged 5.0-liter engine, and 18 inches of Mickey Thompson tires on the back. The result is a truly menacing-inspired modern muscle build that celebrates the joys of driving fast in style.
Meanwhile this week you can drive around Mexico in the 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT. Considered the most famous Australian car abroad as the star of Mad Max and the first all-Australian designed car from Ford, the XB Falcon delivers a snarling 300 horsepower from its 351 “Cleveland” V8. With less than 1,000 XB GT hardtops produced, this iconic Australian muscle car is a rare bird.
Here’s a closer look at the events and rewards in this week’s Festival Playlist. Yours to unlock by Thursday, July 27.

80 PTS: 2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT
160 PTS: 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee

It’s important to look the part at the Horizon Summer Party and we’ve got 5 unmissable reward cars to keep you cool in the heat. Here are the cars coming to your garage in Forza Horizon 5's Summer Party!
2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT
Earn 80 PTS during the Summer Party Festival Playlist series. Available from July 20 – August 17.
TwinTurbos invites car fans to experience the process of how a DeBerti build comes to life, and the fun thrills that ensue once the build is complete. This DeBerti Ford Mustang GT is fitted with a custom TT Designs widebody kit, a Roush supercharged 5.0-liter engine, and 18 inches of Mickey Thompson tires on the back. Throw in a custom hood designed by Brad DeBerti, billet grille transforms, Bullseye Retro custom headlights and taillights, and an Air Design rear wing to complete the look, and the result is a modern muscle build that celebrates the joys of driving fast in style. It’s an impeccable list of high-end modifications, all which contribute to one truly menacing-inspired car.
1973 Ford XB Falcon GT
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 1 Summer Party Festival Playlist. Available from July 20 – July 27.
This might be the most famous Australian car abroad. Not only has it been the star of a major motion picture set in a post-apocalyptic Outback wasteland (that would be “Mad Max”), it’s also been celebrated as the well-loved first car of Australia’s Eric Bana in the 2009 documentary film “Love the Beast.” As one of the first all-Australian designed cars from Ford, it was a no-brainer to send the XB Falcon racing. It battled the Holden LH Torana at the most famous Australian race, the Bathurst 1000 (although it's very similar predecessor, the XA Falcon, had a bit better luck). However, race and film career aside, the Falcon stands on its own as a car worthy of admiration. With a snarling 300 horsepower 351 “Cleveland” V8 (an American design locally built in Australia and celebrated in large graphics on the side proclaiming “GT 351”) rumbling under the twin-scooped hood, the GT has plenty of punch to back up its spot at the top of the XB Falcon lineup. With less than 1,000 XB GT hardtops produced, this iconic Australian muscle car is a rare bird.
1970 Hot Wheels Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Custom
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 2 Summer Party Festival Playlist. Available from July 27 – August 3.
Winner of the 2020 Hot Wheels Legends Tour, Riley Stair saw his 1970 Pontiac Trans Am made into a die-cast 1:64 Hot Wheels scale model released in 2021. The car was selected based on its authenticity, creativity and garage spirit. Between its aggressive looks and motorsport-inspired features, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Custom screams racing passion with a custom-fabricated tube chassis, large flared fenders, a monstrous iron block LSx V8 outputting over 1,000 steadfast horses and a four-speed manual transmission, which for the record was swapped from a NASCAR stock car! Stair’s build certainly stood out above the rest, which makes it a must have addition to your Forza Horizon 5 garage – test its limits on Hot Wheels Park and see just how fast you can push this power-hungry muscle machine.
2022 Toyota GR86
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 3 Summer Party Festival Playlist. Available from August 3 – August 10.
It’s fun, it’s fast, and it’s ready for a road trip. The new Toyota GR86 features a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine that delivers 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 in 6.1 seconds with a top speed of 140mph ensure the GR86 takes you anywhere in speedy time. It’s also fitted with a dual chrome-tipped exhaust, track-tuned suspension and 18-inch matte-black painted alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport4 tires that assist with traction control. With a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, the GR86 feels nimble around every twist and turn on the road.
1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SD-455
Earn 20 PTS during the Week 4 Summer Party Festival Playlist. Available from August 10 – August 17.
Literally the last breath from the muscle car era, the Super-Duty 455 was the dream of a few enthusiastic Pontiac engineers wanting to maintain the performance image of the brand. This was done in the face of the OPEC oil crisis and GM management that had no stomach for anything that didn’t effuse economy. So, the SD-455 was snuck in as an option for Formula and Trans-Am models. While out-the-door performance was hindered by a mild camshaft and restrictive exhaust manifolds, the SD-455 was the perfect starter kit for anyone seeking to find and unleash horsepower. Underneath the emissions-friendly components are a heavily fortified block, forged steel connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, and modified cylinder heads. Basically, this wolf just needs its sheep’s clothing to be stripped off to really roar.
What’s Next
Italian Automotive celebrates its rich heritage in Horizon Mexico as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Abarth and Lancia all return to the festival this August. We can’t wait to share more details about this incredibly exciting event in Forza Horizon 5 next month. Until then, we’ll see you at the Horizon Summer Party!

Drive Icons of Speed in Forza Horizon 5’s Summer Party
Mexico’s Summer Party is here and what better way to celebrate the sunshine festivities than with 6 unmissable cars, and for those eager to drive into the sunset and beyond, we’ve heard your feedback and permanently extended the night cycle in Forza Horizon 5.
We recognized how much you loved the longer nights during the Midnights at Horizon series and carefully evaluated the best way to prolong the night hours indefinitely without it feeling too stretched overtime. What we’ve landed on is a balance where night-time is noticeably longer than before, but not as long as during Midnights at Horizon. This change was made entirely thanks to your contributions to the Suggestions Hub, the best place to share your Forza Horizon 5 feedback. So, try out the new extended night duration and let us know how you feel about it!
Forza Horizon 5 Summer Party will be available to download from Tuesday, July 18 with series content available to play from Thursday, July 20 until August 17.

Discover your next favorite car in the Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Racing Car Pack, featuring 4 incredible new-to-Forza cars for you to collect and drive! These high-performing cars are perfect for all the unique driving experiences the Horizon Festival offers:
Drift in Style Across Mexico in the #64 Forsberg Racing Nissan Z
If there’s one car that should be on the top of your radar, it’s the 2023 Formula Drift #64 Forsberg Racing Nissan Z. This ludicrously powerful drift car from none other than three-time Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg produces an incredible 1,300hp with an endless supply of tire smoke.
Tuned for the drift track with a highly modified twin-turbocharged V6 engine, a widened body kit and exhausts popping through the hood, this Nissan Z is primed for competition. It can be yours starting this week once you reach 160 PTS on the Upgrade Heroes Festival Playlist. You have until July 20, don’t miss out!
But that’s not all! This week you can also unlock the 1992 GMC Typhoon. The 280 horses on tap allow the Typhoon to do things unthinkable for an SUV before its introduction, like blasting to 60mph in 5.3 seconds. A sleeper, however, the Typhoon is not. Slammed low to the ground and sporting a full aero kit, it couldn’t possibly be mistaken for the stock GMC Jimmy that it is inspired by, even at a distance.
See how the Typhoon fairs in Mexico by scoring 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist before Thursday, July 13. What other cars would you like to see in future Forza Horizon 5 updates? Be sure to upvote your top-requested cars on the official Suggestions Hub.

Don’t be fooled by its chassis. On the outside the 1991 GMC Syclone looks like another pick-up truck, but under the hood GMC dropped a turbocharged V6, and then bolted on a high-performance all-wheel drive system.
The result is a genuinely fast, remarkably grippy truck that is incredibly fun to drive – it even comes close to outperforming a lot of very expensive, exotic cars of its time while costing a whole ton less.
This classic AWD mini truck is the featured reward vehicle on this week’s Festival Playlist, and it can be yours for 20 PTS before Thursday, July 6! What other cars would you like to see in future Forza Horizon 5 updates? Remember to upvote your top-requested cars on the official Suggestions Hub.
This season you will also find the Tank Mechanic Pinata Collectible around the Horizon Baja circuit – smash into 10 of them to complete the challenge.
