Car meets were a feature available on both fh2 and fh3, this in on itself could make a comeback to fh5 or a future fh title, but with more polished featureas and ideas:
First of all, theres the need to mention that the previous features that were still available on those car meets should still be available.
Location: The location for this new car meet could be at the outsides of the Stadium, although any other place would work as long as it doesn’t affect any freeroam event.
Players: This new car meet could hold up both the online players in your server and the online players from other servers, increasing the amount of players available in comparison to the previous car meets (which could only handle up to 12 players)
Main New Features These new features would improve the experience massively, like:
• The ability to walk around the car meet zone, looking at the other cars and their builds.
• The ability to open the doors, hood and trunk from your own car, just like how it works in ForzaVista, which then the other players could see.
All of these new features would not only improve the Quality of Life and the Festival vibe of this game, but will also increase the player retention on a healthy way, aswell as the player to player interaction on a non-competitive environment.
• Interior/Exterior Design & Layout : another main characteristic this new Car Meet feature will bring its the design of the structure. There are at least 2 viable options and possibilities:
Outdoors Car meet : The styling and layout of this car meet would work and look similar to the ones from FH2 and FH3, although we can improve this idea by looking at the Ultrace event for reference. Located around a stadium, parked outside, with a lot of people walking around the cars, with lights, cargos and themed props … this would be a nice addition to the game.
[Pictures from the Ultrace events as a reference to what im talking about]
Indoors Car meet : This layout would be a nice change and new take on the already established and known car meets from previous game, but in this case, it would be inside a big warehouse/structure, with big lights, festival themed props, a lot of people and cars scattered around the area, maybe with some brands advertising their car builds/wheels/parts, etc, there could also be advertisements from the in-game products that you can see on those banners (the Manantial mineral water, Qruench-Thrist E drinks and Taco Veloz just to name a few)
This car meet would look similar to the SEMA show.
I’m 100% with you on that one. I was about to create the same post tbh.
But I think you’re asking too much for a game “already done”. Even if I didn’t play FH2 & 3, it is something that I want since FH4.
I think asking for at least a feature that could help us get in a car meet server/lobby to chill with other players that want to park somewhere, ride in a chill convoy or drift together would be nice and not that hard to do.
The Forza vista thing to show the engine, interior etc to everyone is something hard/long to do in terms of development. They already have some bugs to fix before and that, is a really nice but fat feature tho.
The ability to walk around cars would be nice too even if we currently can with the “drone” but, again, I don’t think its their goal to create controllable characters in a GTA like playstyle.
Yeah that was one of my main concerns during the creation of this post, as great as this can sound, it maybe too ambitious from PGG for just “a feature” that its not worth the effort. I can see this being a topic for the next fh titles though, in a near future where the other main issues and bugs have been fixed.
The car meets feature in Horizon 2 was a good start but the concept was ditched after 3 and that really sucks, because the idea could’ve been expanded upon and turned into a really cool social feature.
Have locked off areas of the map you can drive into, which puts you into a car meet with other players. You physically control your character and can walk them around and inspect other people’s to view them in Forzavista, rate their car’s performance and style, even challenge them to a race. Soundtrack has the same speaker reverb effect like at the festival too
This is something I’ve been wanting for years and obviously this idea is free-reign for the devs, but I doubt they’ll ever implement something like this in the first place. Clearly they just want Fortnite pasted over Forza nowadays
Forza Horizon 2 has six Car Meets, one for each city: At the Car Meet, players can showcase their cars and designs. could also show off player outfits and emotes, be good for group photos with your mates and if you could see your characters standing around while in photo mode or drone mode while in the car meets just an idea?

This should totally be in game. Right now there is no good way to interact with other players, make friends. The social part of the game needs some attention, would really love to learn more about tuning part from other players.
The game needs more interaction between players. I haven’t played previous games of the franchise, but I can tell FH5 is missing this. It would make the game a lot better, more enjoyable.
Also, being able to purchase car duplicates with the upgrades and tunes applied would be great, but probably restricted if you try with DLC and don’t own that in real life.
