So we’ve learned today that the corvette e-ray is tied to preordering Motorsport, but is there any clarification of what that means to gamepass owners? Like am I going to have to pay for a game that I was already planning to play because I pay for a service instead?

@ManteoMax clarified it here: Let's GO! livestream Friday Sep. 8th | Horizon Creatives update (Series 25) - #54 by T10ManteoMax
“The Corvette E-Ray will be available to every Forza Horizon 5 player who downloads and plays Forza Motorsport. Those with early access to Forza Motorsport, included with the Premium Edition and Premium Add-Ons Bundle, will be able to redeem this reward starting from October 5. All Forza Motorsport players can drive it in Forza Horizon 5 starting October 10, including those who play on Game Pass.”
As you can see it’s not tied to pre-ordering or any premium editions. Once you play Motorsport at October 10 you have access to it in Horizon 5.

So if u dont play forza motorsport at all will the corvette be available in the end up on fh5 that’s what i want to know
Not based on this quote unless pgg/t10 decide differently
Thank you, I didn’t see this!
So, if I don’t buy Forza Motorsport and don’t have game pass, I won’t be able to use the Corvette on FH5?
Quick question will u be able to get the new corvette in weeka or months to come after forza motorpsort has released in playlist or that or will u only be able to ever get it if u play forza motorsport thankyou
They’ve made no indication that they’ll offer the car down the line. I think if you commit not to so much as downloading the FM game, then you don’t get the car. I’m open to being corrected of course but that’s what I’ve gleaned from their remarks. They’d have to ‘change their mind’ for that to change.
In other words, pay a bundle for one car. It all depends if you feel it’s worth it. I mean, if you’re a Motorsport fan already, it’s not a big deal. It’s all just a method to intice horizon users over to motorsport games if they’re not already. Personally, I’m not sure if I want to. The game looks great but my understanding is that players on that game take the races quite seriously and I’m not ready to be pulled into something that’s going to probably just stress me out. LOL. To each their own though.

I added Motorsport to my wish list and when they opened pre-order on Steam I did. However, I’m not sure that I’ll get the eRay, since Steam players didn’t get the 1932 Ford FE with the FH5 Xbox controller.

I didn’t buy FM23 for the reward car in FH5. But its nice to have here too.
I hope this time they will extend the reward to Steam community.
Officially, the eRay will be given to every player who plays FM23. No exclusion of Steam mentioned.

@Banjacked8153 , Thanks for the vote of confidence in my normalcy! Although there are many other numerous factors why I’m not buying. It’s nice to know I’m normal. 
somewhat!

I just want to know if it will ever come to the playlist the new corvette or will it be u have to play new forza motorsport to get it and will not ever come to fh5 to people that dont play new forza motorsport it be nice to have clarity
I must be missing the punchline here as to what is so “special” about the E-Ray that would drive this kind of interest. I could see it if it were an exclusive car that has long since been sought after (& maybe that’s the case with this one & I’m just oblivious), but I personally don’t see the big appeal. Not to mention the sound of it from the livestream.
@Banjacked8153 , Hahahha. Normal is defined in the show Cheers - “Norm”.

@Bravo437 , I want to know why so many people can’t grasp the simple concept of, “you get the e-vette only after you’ve played thr new Motorsport game”? It’s not coming to FH5 as a playlist prize, or to the autoshow or any other venue. “You only get the car if you play Motorsport, end of the question”.
Therefore, people (like me) who are not going to buy, or gamepass the new Motorsport game will not get the new e-vette.
I mean, @Bravo437 , I know this isn’t your question and I know you, much like me, understood this from the initial announcement, but it’s just a question that’s bugged me from the start of this thread. Probably as much as your question has bugged you. And I totally agree with you on your question. What’s so special about another electric shaving razor in a car racing game? All they had to do to make this car was take on of the current vette profiles and replace the sound profile with a sound profile from one of the Chinese electric shaving razors. What a cheap sales gimmick!
I don’t have an aversion to EVs, but they are definitively not my first choice & as you pointed out, seems to be just the EV version of the same car already in the game from day one, for all practical purposes. (Again, I could be completely missing something).
The FOMO carrot & stick approach is definitely effective in these days of instant gratification, which we can attest to over the past several weeks’ 40pt chore lists.

Completionist/Collector mentality. I get it. I do fall into that category and I also want it all too but I’m not willing to fork over real money for it.

Yeah, me too. I also fall somewhat into that category but I am willing to pay for it with real money if it’s something I want, like the last two car packs. I have GPU, so this one doesn’t even fall into that category as additional expenditure, but I have zero interest in the car in question.
