An option has been added so that the difficulty can be adjusted while the game is in progress.

The penultimate week of the Summer Party brings an unmissable new car to the Festival Playlist, the all-new 2022 Toyota GR86 can be yours for 20 PTS! Did you know this was our 7th most requested car ever on the Suggestions Hub?

And we can understand your requests; the GR86 is a car built with fun in mind, an ideal machine to take on a road trip! It was designed to be small, quick, agile, and an absolute hoot to drive.

Don’t let its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine deceive you, this car is as nimble as can be and will certainly give you a run for your money.


The GR86 will be available from August 3 until August 10 through the Festival Playlist! If you've got an idea for a car or feature that needs to be in our game, let us know right here!

Thinking about taking the GR86 for a spin? Don’t forget to style up first! The Forzathon Shop has some great options this week including the Confetti Canon Horn and a Bird Pattern Sundress. Cars include the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C and the 1994 Ford Supervan 3.
