Welcome to my mega thread, it will be mega because all I do is build tracks & share them. This thread is not only to promote my all of my tracks but to help others build theirs so ask me anything here any time & I’ll do my best to help. IMO the more builders the better, with all that said please don’t spam this thread with every single one of your tracks. Please create your own mega thread and I will happily support it and you. Here are my W’s
Who - I’m an old school gamer (38ish years playing), irl videographer/photographer/marketer. I love Forza Horizon 5 and creating custom tracks for myself & the community & then creating content to promote them. I consider myself at least a pro level FH5 Event Lab creator.
That certainly doesn’t mean I feel my tracks are better than others tracks, that you will like all my tracks and style or that they’re all perfect but the amount of hours I have into building and my knowledge of the editor system is very high level. I pretty much have experienced all of the bugs and have been able to find work arounds mostly by process of elimination.
What - What I am is a blueprint builder & Ken Block wannabe What I primarily play FH5 and CyberPunk 2077, I tend to stick to what I enjoy for awhile before moving onto other things, I’m not a 5 game at a time kind of guy. What I like to create is (generally noob friendly but fast) many props, well lit, very well marked routes with near zero structural flaws & as few checkpoints as possible.
I also like adding custom blueprint rules like on screen notifications, drift rules & drift scoreboard, sounds etc.
I go through every single piece of wall/fence & do my best to make sure you will not be stopped in your tracks due to an annoying invisible edge in the route. I don’t want to be a sim style builder but similar to a real race track, I remove or block almost anything that will bring you to a dead stop (within reason).
I hate implementing rules or restrictions so almost all my tracks are (Anything Goes) but I like power so
most of my tracks are built for S1 Class or better. I pretty much recommend picking your biggest engine tunes for my tracks just to be safe but most can be completed with an A800 class.
Where - Blueprint locations - mostly off road mixed with some road for sliding preferably in locations people haven’t been and or doing things they haven’t done. I like to slide, the more sliding the better for me, I have near zero interest in creating road races or courses that I’ll be majorly penalized on lap time from breaking the tires loose. I’m not a hardcore gamer drifter anymore but I love to AWD drift. Ken Block inspires me so off road areas with AWD Gymkhana and rally/scramble/cross country style is primarily where I build. I also feel there is so much cool untouched or unused land in FH5 and my goal is to utilize it and bring myself and players to places they’ve never been.
Why - Blueprints keep the game fresh for me. I refuse to rely on DEV made DLC for my entertainment. I’ve been building tracks since Excite Bike on Nintendo. I build because I like to create things the community will enjoy as well as myself.
When - Most of my custom Forza Horizon tracks take me about 70-100 hours to finish due to size, testing, prop errors, trial & error, checkpoint placement & problems, sign additions, and general route creation so I release a new one about every 10 days more or less & then I take time to create content and share it in places like this. I generally try to be understanding of peoples time and attention span and try not to make my tracks too long but I’ve also made a couple Goliaths so far & do my best to warn players about length during the sharing process.
FH5 Goals - get one of my tracks added to the Event Lab and or be featured again from the Forza Horizon Social pages
Thanks for reading, I hope you can find something to enjoy within my builds or any information I pass on. Again, feel free to ask anything anytime and I’ll happily do my best to help out More builders = more fun.
