I started up Forza Horizon 2 for the first time, and after the intro drive to the festival I was shown a choice of vehicles to pick from and drive in the first heat. I haven’t made it past that point yet and wanted to know if this is what I will have to do all the time…winning or at least placing in a series of races to get further into the game, access all the vehicles, and drive around all the beautiful locations that are supposed to be included? Is there anyway to go back and pick a different car? Is there anyway to open up the game sdo I can just drive around in the open world in the cars I want to drive without having to win, place, or show in all the events? Is there a code I can enter to allow me that?
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy racing, especially in Formula One, but I bought this game with the expectation of being able to do what ever I want int’s open world. Did I make a mistake? Any help greatly appreaciated!
Once you pick your first car the world is open. You can just drive around all over the map if you want. Though you will need to complete events in order to unlock all the features of the open world. It doesn’t take long to unlock everything.
The “story” of the game is to go through several championships, but you can do it at your own pace and use whatever cars you have purchased. It up to you to start up the next championship when you want to, and you can drive around and do whatever you want in the meantime.
Once you’ve done the first few races in your first car the hub, garage and auto show open up. From there you can do as you please.
Hope this helps
The game does hold your hand for the first hour or so - perhaps less. Then it opens up. But yes, I found that annoying as well, especially after having recently played the demo.
Actually it takes quite a while for everything to open up, as far as I can tell: I’m level fifty, and have done eight championships, and “Online Private Roadtrip” still has a padlock on it. I can click it, choose one of the two options, and even invite a friend, but even though they think they’ve joined the session I’m still alone …

Thanks much for all the replies! I did ride around in the middle of the first race for about an hour, as it seems the BMW Z80 just doesn’t have the acceleration or speed to win even on easy mode! I couldn’t find a way to change cars either, and all I saw in an hour of driving in all directions was a lot of fields and fences to break through! I’d be willing to bet there’s a code somewhere that opens the whole game up and I’m looking for it. If anyone finds it I’d appreaciate you’re telling me!
