Race cars added to Horizon in 2024 (from S29 to S40)

That would be cool

So basically like the race track in FH4’s Lego expansion? I loved that spot.

I was one of those that boycotted everything Lego in FH4, so I dont really know. But if theyve done something like it before, try it again without the Lego aspect and Ill be happy for sure.

Best thing to do is just keep voting. I don’t know if there’s a whole lot that can be done with how many that get added, but if a time attack Mitsubishi Evo and Colin McRae’s Ford Focus RS could make it into the game, then I’m still fairly optimistic about what other race/rally cars we’ll get down the road.

The time attack Evo only had 84 votes by the time it was added, and I don’t think Colin McRae’s Focus RS even had a voting thread prior to the release of Rally Adventure. (I checked in Previously Considered Suggestions but couldn’t find anything)

Yeah I always wanted a Daytona-sized oval and then a huge long oval like the test course and Special Stage Route-X in the Gran Tursimo games.

Sorry to hear that. For my money the Lego expansion was great, and it had some fantastic routes.

we need to keep them remembering that ‘race cars’ r also cars.

true but 57 production cars in comparison with just 7 race cars, this is just insane. just 8 times more production cars. that is my point. it feels like they have to add production cars in every series.

I don’t really understand why you’re so stuck on this. Horizon games have never been track-based. They’re about collecting and modifying a broad array of real-world cars and turning them loose on a big open map, on the sorts of roads where a track car just wouldn’t fit. Sure, there are the occasional purely-track cars in the roster, and maybe there’s a case to be made that there should be more than there are, but having them be a significant chunk of the car roster just doesn’t mesh with the vibe of the series.

Not always a popular viewpoint, but for me, definitely felt the same way. There was nothing worse than trying to enjoy the immersion of the game, only to enter a race with a Lego car next to you…

i know that. im not asking them make it a track focused game either. im just asking for the race cars.cause horizon can have anything.

they’re race cars. they can fit anywhere. just matter of lil tweaking here n there.

i never mentioned track cars. i mentioned race cars all the time.n by saying race cars i meant everything purpose built.

I loved that huge oval in Gran Turismo. I forget which GT title Im remembering, probably 20+ years ago, but I still remember the track vividly.

I havent been voting in the car request threads … so a lot of the stuff added didnt come with my approval. But Im starting. I just used up all my daily like allotment … we have a daily like allotment?! … voting on stuff. Ill be back though.

:rofl::rofl:

Lets not also forget that a large portion of the cars in this game that are not race cars proper are actually homologation specials that allowed all those race cars they love to even exist any where at all and become famous.

That “homologation specials” is just pure nonsense.

Bringing cars people don’t want to the franchise isn’t magically going to attract people that did want these cars in the franchise.

Then why was Team Wars (which is to my knowledge the only real competitive racing thing that’s still going on the FH side) founded during FH4? That game got even less racecars and it still flourshed. What the game needs isn’t cars, what the game needs is features to support racing if it wants to attract racers (which by your own admission, it isn’t).

Who r these people?? Those all production car people right…if the devs constantly will prefer production car people by giving around 90% production cars each year then simply they will be the only kind of people left in the community n now they don’t want race cars in the game..
it’s the devs’ fault that today this community is full of production car people.. they couldn’t maintain a balance between race cars n production cars n thats why today the production car people are deciding what will come to the game n what not. They started thinking that it’s their game. The devs need to remember them that Horizon is not their property. It’s a game for everyone. it’s their responsibility to bring a balance n end this production car supremacy.

O really!!
So where is the most important thing needed for racing which is weight reduction. It’s there but where its actual visual support?? Without visual support that feature is just a nonsense. A production car still looks n feels like a production car even after using race weight reduction.

N where is a proper rollcage?? The current rollcage feels like it’s developed by a 5 year old.
What support they’ve provided for us to make a road car properly look n feel like a race car???
The worst splitter n the worst rear wing.. tires n brakes that don’t have brandingd on it n even look worse than the default ones.

In the name of modifications they make a car look worse.

My race bodykits n race interiors post has more than 120 votes but I bet they didn’t even look at that..They’re no racing people so expecting race oriented features from them is a waste of time..so bringing full blown race cars is the only way to bring racing n racers to the game. N that’s what I’m doing.

If the audience they’ve attracted is (much) more interested in a production 911 over a racing one, that’s not their problem. Plus, you’re trying to make this into an “Us vs. Them” problem, when it isn’t, there’s maybe one person i know that only ever wants race cars, most people either want production cars or both.

lol what?

No?

Car features aren’t going to attract racing people, what would attract them is something like split times (which were cut from FH5 for reasons), spectator mode, lapped races with a “pit stop” (or something similar, giving more depth to those races instead of just marathoning them), an overhaul to the blueprint editor (hasn’t had one since it was introduced in FH3 in 2016), etc.
