I imagine a good chunk of the cars will be ones from Motorsport 8. Case in point, the Valkyrie AMR Pro. I’m willing to bet, at the very least, the Senna GTR will appear too.

[x_ShadowsBane_x]

That Valkyrie AMR Pro is insane in FM. I’m still trying to tame the beast with my tune. The oversteer makes it seem like the car is trying to end you at a moments notice.

I think the McLaren Sabre could be a good candidate for the European Automotive series.

Edit: I think the Valkyrie AMR Pro is part of the car pass in FM so that might mean it will be in the new car pack coming with the European Automotive series.

[Bravo437]

That car alone in a new car pack is already 1000X improvement over the last one imo.

[Rayne_SE]

I can’t imagine the AMR Pro will have a performance gap to the normal Valkyrie as in Motorsport.
It would never fit S2.
In Motorsport it’s basically a car in its own class.

[x_ShadowsBane_x]

Would be interesting if it started out in X class like it does in FM. Don’t think we’ve ever had a car start out in X class in FH though.
I’m sure folks would find a way to drop it into S2 class.

[AudibleJam509]

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing playground put in a default X class car. They could add weight as per the regular version but still don’t see them doing that.

I could be wrong but there’s other car candidates….unless playground gets a dose of reality and places the car’s performance where it should be (unlike Motorsport). Maybe a de-tune S2 build is plausible, if that’s the case.

I’m more excited about the new eventlab props TBH. packs are nice but hopefully some eventlab tool improvements are in order.

[SechsComic73130]

You want all of those cars, yet your votes list looks like this.

[TheGillesMuller]

We had it once near the very start of the game (sort of) and well this is how it started for me…

TheGillesMuller playing Forza Horizon 5 on 25 Nov 21 (trueachievements.com)

I still can’t explain this 2 and a quarter years later lol.

[x_ShadowsBane_x]

Imagine the carnage:) lol I remember early on they had a mixed class Trial and I think you could use an X class vehicle.

[JETLAG_Haruka]

I see number of Cars who Voted in the List like this.

[CuriousGirl2591]

Yeah it’s maybe a bit much but would be hilarious lol
Although we don’t even have S2 very much on Fh5 and my experience of FH4 is that S2 is pretty regular

[x_ShadowsBane_x]

The Trials used to be more challenging in FH5 but there were so many complaints from the community that it seems like they’re afraid to offer anything even remotely challenging now.

I always enjoyed the S2 Trials in FH4.
