I’ve been playing Forza on and off since FM3 days, and I particularly like the Horizon series. I only started livery design in earnest with FH3 at the end of 2016, so I’m very much a new boy here.
Many of my designs are replicas, initially mostly Subaru rallycross liveries, but due to getting various requests when I was more active on FH3 (a shout out to Scooby Collins, JaCor653 and SoulBuffalo8 in particular), I added replicas of press liveries and other race and rally cars. You will also find some logos shared as well.
I’m going to start by covering the various imports from FM7 and FH3, but hope to add more FH4 specific liveries now that the painting competition has banned imported designs.
David Higgins’ Dirtfish #75 WRX STI VT15r, as used in the 2016 Red Bull Global Rallycross series (on the #199 car).

The David Higgins 2013 Subaru Rallycross Team U.S.A. #75 car that he used in the 2013 Los Angeles X Games in the Gymkhana Grid event.
There is a matching tune called “Puma GRC” which will up the power, and add the front spoiler and roof vent along with the nearest wheels I could find to the Method Wheels that Vermont SportsCar use. I left the standard rear spoiler as I think it looks better, but you can replace it with the big spoiler as I have built into the liveries the graphics for both the standard spoiler and the optional one.
These are the 2013 Subaru Puma Rallycross Team U.S.A. liveries. The three team members were Bucky Lasek (orange and grey car #81), Sverre Isachsen (lime yellow and blue car #11) and the late Dave Mirra (yellow and black #40). These all had the Puma Zombie Cat logo on the sides, along with different versions of the skull on the roof (Lasek’s had a flat brimmed hat and long hair, like him!), Isachsen had a Viking helmet, and Mirra had the flat brimmed hat without the long hair (at least I think so, as the source photos don’t show it quite as clearly).
The TT Attack car that Mark Higgins used to set the Isle of Man TT car track record in 2016.
There is a matching tune (also called TT Attack 2016) which ups the power, adds the front and rear wings and increases the tyre sizes and specs.
I have made the livery so it works both with the standard rear wing as well as the modified one (which more closely corresponds with Higgins’ actual car).
These are the 2015 Subaru Rallycross Team U.S.A. liveries. Sverre Isachsen’s is the blue and white over grey car #11 and Bucky Lasek’s is the orange and white over grey car #81.

A three for one, the Gumball 2005 liveries for Ken Block (grey/gold, #43), Damon Way (black/pink, #42) and Rob Dyrdek (blue/orange, #41). These liveries are also available on the 2005 Subaru WRX STI (same names) although the 2004 car is the correct one for replicas.
This ones a personal one as I used to own an RB320 Richard Burns memorial special edition (320bhp, 320 made). There is a matching tune also called “RB320” to more closely resemble the original. Unfortunately I can’t cover the STI badges which were more limited on the original.

Malcolm Wilson’s 1995 Network Q Rally Michelin Pilot Ford Escort Cosworth. There is a matching tune also called “Malcolm Wilson” which changes the wheels and bodywork to be more like the original. It is also available on the Forza Edition car.
The historic racing Cortina of British Touring Car Championship driver Andrew Jordan and his father Mike. There is a matching tune also called “Jordan Cortina” which more closely matches the tune and trim of the original.
The Mk1 Ford Escort as run by John Taylor for Haynes of Maidstone in the European Rallycross Championship back in the 1970s. There is a matching tune also called “John Taylor Mk1” which changes the wheels and tyres and deletes the front and rear bumpers like the original.
The Mk2 Ford Escort as used by 1970s rallycross star John Taylor on the Lombard RAC Rally 1979 with Phil Short co-driving. There is a matching tune also called “John Taylor Mk2” which changes the wheels to be like the original. Would love some forest arches for the Mk2!
The Brown & Geeson historic racing Ford Escort Mk1. There is a matching tune also called “B&G Mk1” which just changes the wheels to be a bit more like the original.
The Brown & Geeson historic racing Ford Escort Mk2 (the Hoonigan car is the closest match to the original, large Zakspeed style arches). There is a matching tune also called “B&G Mk2” which just changes the wheels to be a bit more like the original.
To celebrate 150,000 downloads in FH3 (not sure how many in FM7), here’s a gold star as my interpretation of a Ford Heritage version of the No 5 car that came third in the 1966 Le Mans in Ford’s 1-2-3.
The white version of the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 press livery. There is a matching tune also called “Nissan GT-R GT3” which changes the wheels and tyres and adds the spoiler to more nearly match the original.
The black version of the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 press livery, but this time on the 2012 car. There is a matching tune also called “Nissan GT-R GT3” which changes the wheels and tyres and adds the spoiler to more nearly match the original.This also works with the Liberty Walk body kit.
This is Leo Geoghegan/Peter Brown’s Chrysler VH Valiant Charger that finished second in class D in the 1971 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at Mount Panorama and now at the National Motor Museum at Birdwood in South Australia.

This Ram was a promotional giveaway by Yokohama Tire in 2017 after going on a tour with Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus, it was prepared by AEV. There is a matching tune also called “Yokohama Ram” which changes the wheels to be more like the original and gives it a homologated tune.
After HeliosT10’s little Twitter gaffe a while ago, and with the VW microbus arriving in the speciality dealer at the same time, a thought came to me …
The FH4 version is slightly revised to look a bit better visually.
This is the McLaren 650S Sprint press livery. There is a matching tune also called “650S Sprint” which adds the race wing, race tyres and an S2 tune. Unfortunately, most of the rear of the car can’t have any vinyls added so I haven’t got the 650S Sprint logo on the back of the car. However, I did manage to put the logo on both wings, the centre of the standard one is at about +258, +358, and the race wing is about -198, -359. The other race wing available doesn’t seem to be paintable. The sides also seem to have moved a bit since FM7/FH3.

This is the Hot Wheels Twin Mill as an interpretation of one of the Burner’s cars from the animated TV series Motorcity, namely, Mike Chilton’s “Mutt”.
Holy smokes this is a gallery and a half! I don’t know where to begin but I am definitely going to be picking a lot of them up! Really great stuff, especially with the rally liveries. Great logo work and everything! The '71 Bathurst Charger is also a particular favorite. Great job with that one!
Great gallery I had started the Puma Higgins 75 on the last Forza but never finished it, yours looks great as does all of your work! I ended up designing the Atkinsons #55 Rally car.
A couple of additional imports. I wasn’t expecting to be able to pull in the Twin Mill!

Not sure how I missed your thread Rallyz, definitely would’ve posted before now. Always been a big fan (and slightly jealous, LoL) of those Puma Rallycross liveries as well as the Dirtfish
Nice job with the 650S, none of my previous paints work with the bodykit that comes with most tunes so I’ll be giving yours a whirl next time I’m on. Also, thanks for sharing the info on the wing placements
Not familiar with the animated series but I like that character you’ve got on the side there… reminds me a lot of a paint I did for an FM4 tuning garage which was based on Ed Roth’s “Rat Fink” artwork.
A full set of Weissach colours on the 2016 911 T3 RS, with carbon fibre bonnet/roof/wing/mirrors.
Edit: Some of these came with gold wheels. The ADV.1 ADV10.0 M.V1 CS (under Specialised Rims) seems to be a reasonable match. An easily memorable wheel designation …
