Stats and Runway indicate Mclaren Speedtail
Engine is a Toyota 2000GT
Engine on the wall could possibly be an Essex V6 engine
Battery on desk, Maybe a Tesla or another electric car?
GMC van, maybe Vans And Utility in eliminator? Or…
It could indicate a new horizon story “Express Delivery”. Images on the whiteboard seem to show hints towards that.
Changes/Upgrades to Edinburgh castle, maybe have the inside of the castle accessible?

All I got so far.

Yeah, Toyota 2000GT engine and stats of Speedtail, and Kennedy Space Center runway where it was tested, quite obvious ones.

Rest, good question.

The dog costume on the board.
The new engine picture on the wall, if it’s really a clue.
The GMC on the left screen.
The Edinburgh Castle on the middle one.
Pat 1 is the car from Postman Pat children’s television series.
The battery can be anything, maybe a clue, maybe it’s just there.
Rest of the papers on the board, they are barely visible.

Let Me See.

The Toyota 2000 GT is screamingly Obvious, about time that came back to Horizon, FH2 was its last appearance at the Festival wasn’t it? not sure what Year it would be, as Forza has, over the Years, had a '66 , a’67 and a '69! so goodness knows what the Year on the Toyota 2000 GT would be. '67 (the year “You Only Live Twice” came out) would be most Appropriate IMO due to the “Best of Bond” Car Pack.

The 2020 McLaren SpeedTail is also astoundingly Obvious. Nice!

The Engine on the Wall is an Essex V6, so, looks like we are getting another Historic V6 Ford, was there any mentioned in that case of “Faulty Plumbing” involving the Games Car List a Couple of Months back?

The Dog Costume Possibly hints at New Cosmetics, Possibly related to that New Scooby Doo Movie? Playground are clearly Targeting the Wee Bairns with this Game, so I wouldn’t be Surprised… Or it could be hinting to a Car that is seen by Many as being an absolute “Dog” but has also become a Cult Classic, maybe something like the 1971 Chevrolet Vega GT or the 1977 AMC Pacer X?

I think the 1983 GMC Vandura shows that the “Express Delivery” Business/ Story might Finally be Ready! could the Impossibly “Dodgy” Tommy Bargains finally be Coming into the Game as an Interactive Character rather than just a “Deep Lore” Element turned Comedy Sketch?

Edinburgh Castle could be that the “Autovista” is being moved into the Court Yard rather than the Outer Drive, it could mean we may finally be getting Interactive Homes, or it could be they have finally fixed the Camera Angles at Players Homes that got Fouled up with the Lego Update, not sure.

Pat 1, Postman Pat’s Van, at least in the Classic “Stop Motion” Series of 1981, was a LDV Sherpa, so Possibly the 1981 LDV Sherpa V8 is coming into the Game, maybe as a Reward in “Express Delivery” ?

The Battery could be a Clue that Playground have finally sorted out their Licencing Issues with Tesla, or it could be a clue to another Electric Car coming to the Game. (again, was there any mentioned when Playground had that Plumping Failure with the Game Files?) … or it could just be a battery that clues to nothing as Torben strikes Me Personally as being more than bit Untidy!

I Cannot see the Rest of the Clues I am afraid as the Image is too Small to see the Board Correctly.

I just hope all the New Cars are Single Player Unlocks again! Playground are getting pretty good at Putting all the New Cars in as Single Player Rewards as of Recent. and I hope they keep that up!

The only essex V6 cars on that list are: #1 Ford escort Mk.1 1967 and #5 Ford Escort MK2 1977

Looks like it will be one of those two Group 4 Racing Machines then :slight_smile: , if the Picture is a clue to anything of Course, There is always more than One “Red Herring” in these Images after all!

Ok i love this game. All is very good. 4+ cars is for me ideals.

13

Sad this is Craig’s last outing. I love him as 00!

14

Can’t stand him as Bond, but he is an OK actor. Never managed to get through his Bond films even though I own a couple on Blue Ray. Mainly though Dame Judi Dench screaming down his ear like a nagging wife ruined a few.

I actually was hoping for a Black Female 007 next, but it isn’t going to happen now.

Edit: I guess we will be getting the 1933 Napier-Railton.

That’s been pushed to November due to COVID-19.

17

also how did nobody notice the boxes next to torben? series X dev kit?

18

So I believe when I found out by my father and my brother.

19

But we already have Mk I and Mk II Escorts in the game, I don’t really see the point to have another one.

1973 Ford Escort RS1600
1977 Ford Escort RS1800
1978 Hoonigan Ford Escort RS1800

but those that i said were in the leaked list that contained the cars from the last 3 updates, those 3 youve said arent there, case closed, and also its not even a essex engine but a plane propeller V8
