"original owner" bug on gifts from PGT10

Series 28 and 32 had community challenges to get a cars; AM Valkyrie, Ford Mustang '24, GMA T.50 and Ford Raptor R. I’ve only just noticed that these all appear as having an “unknown” original owner. This also applies to vehicles I got during whatever photography/livery contests there have been.

Didn’t realise until now. Very slightly irritating but I do know I’m the first owner and I’m not going to get rid of them so it’s okay. Honest. Really. It’s okay. I’m not going to do Pink in “The Wall” and smash up a hotel room. Just that I can feel one of my turns coming on . . .

actually I have a memory of this from other Forza games, some gifted cars are like that

You can gift cars yourself with no name or gamertag.

yes, I get that, the thing with these is that they’re gifts from PGT10 so these should have the recipient as original owner (I’d think so, anyway)

gifting anonymously, etc, yes, that makes sense

Ah I understand what you mean.

I wonder cos they are gifted do they have to be owned by someone first?

yes, I suppose that’s the case, but it still seems somehow “wrong”

probably @T10ManteoMax was the first owner of all of them, however many thousands/millions (how did he get past the garage cap, though?)

In FH4 it had the gamertag as original owner for the cars gifted from PGG. In FH5 it’s always had UNKNOWN listed and the number of owners being 1. Some player gifts also come in that way which I guess is from gifting anonymously from a wheelspin. I’m not sure how else it would make sense that would happen.

Yeah, this has always frustrated me a bit too. I like being the original owner of all the cars in my garage (when humanly possible), so those stick out like a mental sore thumb. I think I even bought an extra copy of one of the new cars gifted to everyone, just so that I felt like I “owned” it. :smile:

Its not necessarily a bug. Gift cars will show unknown as the original owner until you drive it which it should replace it iirc

The owner doesn’t change like that, no, I’ve driven them all, still “unknown”.
