And this is why I haven’t bought the game and never will.
I think I would prefer 90% of the weekly chores to be the Trial Cross Country rather than stunts. Or better yet, just give us 24 hour cruise marathons to really boost player engagement, certainly don’t focus on the 8 pages of known issues. This month will most be the least engagement I put into fh5. They are starting to make NFS more appealing.

It just speaks volumes about the development focus that this bug that AFFECTS ACTUAL MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY IN A DETRIMENT WAY is now almost 3 months old. There has been 3 updates without any progress on this. It’s really shameful.
The devs clearly don’t give a single sh*t about players.
No information on expansion was available. Let’s wait until next month.
Car pass content:
2017 #25 Ferrari Clienti 488 Challenge
1986 Ford Mustang SVO
2006 Noble M400
2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
I’m not interested in another 488 variant, but other than that, I’m personally satisfied.
I’m really looking forward to Fox SVO.
Exclusive cars:
1965 Mini Cooper S Forza Edition (EV conversion!)
2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo
2010 Noble M600
2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
The Mini Cooper S Forza Edition has also appeared in FH3 and FM7.
However, the new addition is different from those and has an EV conversion.
And this car is my favorite of the series 5 exclusive cars.
A lightweight and compact AWD EV hot hatch. It will definitely be a fun car.
I’m looking forward to the other exclusive cars, but I’m personally looking forward to getting the 4Runner.
We finally getting a normal SUV that isn’t a luxury SUV.
In best guesses, the 1st expansion might arrive on this year’s E3, expansion 2 will arrive certainly on 2023, so yeah, you will have to wait much longer than next month
Much better line-up than last month. Though I can’t say I’m crazy about yet another 488, and I was disgusted to learn that the new Forza Edition Mini is an EV. Definitely won’t be driving that often.
I expect both Noble to be good cars. Light, great mechanical grip. The engine of the M400 could be a problem. Maybe it gets the Ariel Atom V8.
The KTM will be a technical track beast. Cathedral and Lookout tracks in particular.
Mini and Nismo GTR will be a waste. EVs are getting murdered by the PI system and the GTR has probably no engine swap leaving it behind as both other R35.
Rest no idea. Mustang most likely another centrifugal V8 “victim” but let’s see.
