Forza horizon Mexico map is not living up to its hype

Hear this FH4 is based in British where we had hills, farmlands, and there weather etc.
While FH5 we have desert, live forests, and the mountain/volcano. But it missing the culture of the saying “we’re going to Mexico”.
The point that I’m saying is there is no good straight roads to race on like drag racing it’s missing that culture. All the the straights that we have got bends or end with a turn to make. Leaving with a bad road to drag
I know there’s no chance of the map getting changed to fix but hope the next horizon can have a spot on the map to drag.
Thank you.

Welcome to Forza Forums!

I agree. When compared to FH4 and to other simulator games like Assetto Corsa and DiRT Rally 2.0, FH5 still has a lot to live up to.

Not sure if I follow correcrly but how long straight do you need? The game does have three designated drag strips and the Gran Puente bridge is plenty long and no super steep curves, especially North West end and is the freeway out of the question?

But why is the festival site drag without good road lines and lights. FH4 did that much better and now who ever racer honks the cars off, has an unfair advantage and lining up cars is also vague at best.
A strange design choice and a clear downgrade compared to previous title when doing drag races in free roam.

I agree with VIH…staging lights should be at main drag strip :+1:

Hard disagree on FH4, I’ve warmed to FH4’s map slightly more since FH5 arrived but the map itself aesthetically is still a massive cliche of Britain, stone, greenery, old buildings and quaint little villages is the Britain most people here would love to live in but it just isn’t like that for the vast majority.

Wales + Northern Ireland also have no representation within it, it’s mostly idealistic relatively well known rural areas of Scotland and England with Edinburgh for a city.

A modern city, a rough council area with high rises, a busy seaside town, an industrial estate, all commonplace here but nowhere to be seen.

I also think the festival in FH4 is terrible, it’s barely relevant in the game after the intro, HMC is a boring + short circuit set up nicely for corner bombers or for people to push you off/into the edges of that little tunnel, and some of the worst licenced music I have ever heard in a video game blares out relentlessly while you’re there.

FH5’s map isn’t much better in the same aspects but I at least enjoy it’s HMC more + I don’t envy the deaf whenever I’m at it’s festival, 5’s Mexico is just drab and has felt to me like it was made with a checklist ever since they harped on about how many biomes there were going to be, but Mexico seldom gets lavished with praise like Britain does.
