Not yet been able to go a quick as I would like here. Don’t want to use the Bone Shaker and alike, will stick to the more conservative models.

I have to give them full credit for adding in new tracks 2 years after launch. Breathes some life into the game and they all feel like they’ve been there since launch day. Hoping we get more dirt tracks as well.
The Halo franchise has been great at rotating community maps into their matchmaking for 15 years now. It would be fun to see Horizon add a track a month to their game as well (not the horrific eventlab tracks, but actual creations) and get the proper checkpoints and walls added to make them playable for the masses.
I think you are being too generous here. This is a live service game and so the trade off for them holding back content should be that we see regular additions to the game play.
I personally think that a reasonable expectation would be to have seen a new permanent track every month (noting that there are no licensing issues here - it’s purely a case of creating the tracks). As it is, we have a third of that content with 4 of those tracks (bizarrely) not being part of the regular tracks at all. If you are a dirt/CC fan, you’ve basically had nothing.

For those on Forza Motorsport just flagging that Moss/HLR are starting their rivals event on that. Very professionally ran and always some good learning points:

I’ve always heard the hype about the Bone Shaker as a meta dirt build but have never actually tried it until now. I can see why it has been so predominant on the LBs; definitely a different experience to drive.
Also been running some times on the new tracks & finding them pretty enjoyable. Liking the variations in the routes.
the NEAR ME leaderboard finally started working for me in this update. what a relief.
I’ve found that to be more of a server issue. Been running quite a few Rivals over the last several days & would encounter the “blank” LB list or the timeout issue with the “error communicating with the server” message. I’ve also had it only show the first 50 times, then nothing after. (BTW: insane DM van time)
I haven’t experienced that, but my NEAR ME lb has never worked since day 1, it was always a hassle locating my spot
refresh my memory, what is the DM van
Really? That’s def odd, first time I have heard of that being an ongoing issue. DM van I assumed was the Donut Media edition.

Does it still revert to the top of the list if you try to sort by Near Me and then choose a different rival? This feature worked in FH4 for me but has been broken since day 1 in FH5. Annoying when I want to pick a time 0.5s faster to try and chase.
To my surprise it didn’t revert to the top when I used the function yesterday.
It’s possible to scroll from the own position upwards and downwards.

it is once again not working 
Is the new car pack any good? I don’t think I’ll spend money on this one unless some cars have some off-meta or better performance.
the worst, hands down. possible power build I haven’t looked into for Impala, but doubtful

Didn’t buy it myself but from the feedback I got it’s bad.
The 4 normal cars are completely lost in S1 road and even offroad builds are not good.
The best is - of course - the Flip Car.
Due its proportions it loses ~20 PI from an AWD swap but unlike the Bone Shaker it has no front aero.
It’s an understeery mess but quite okayish from a performance perspective.
I won’t bother with the pack.
