Series 70 is here with another opportunity for you to unlock the “Encore?” Achievement in Forza Horizon 4. This week’s featured reward car is the 2017 VUHL 05RR, the ultimate track toy to explore Britain, which left a remarkable impression when it first debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The 05RR delivers extreme performance with an additional 100 horsepower over that original model while further reducing its weight. The purpose of this unique car is clear: to be a track legend while (barely) remaining street legal. Optimally engineered for raw performance and simplicity, this is a car made to match the best supercars in the world, and you can put it to the test in Forza Horizon 4 by emerging on top in the “VUHL in the City” Seasonal Championship.


Also available on the Festival Playlist until Thursday, January 18, don’t miss the 1970 Honda S800. This classic rear-wheel drive roadster is probably the most fun you can have with 70 horsepower. It also has a screaming-high redline that was a direct descendent of its motorcycle roots. If you have ever reveled in the high-revving noise of the modern day S2000, you’ve got the S800 to thank for it.

Here are the events and their associated rewards featured on this week’s Festival Playlist:

SERIES REWARDS:

• 50% Completion – Horizon Backstage Pass
  
• 80% Completion – 1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

SUMMER REWARDS:

• 50% Completion – 1970 Honda S800
  
• 80% Completion – 1963 Ferrari 250LM

• Fixed an issue with virtual key mapping/ordering.
  
• Fixed an issue with resizing global variables and modals.
  
• Fixed a few commands and their summaries.

A super extreme hyper car arrives as this week’s 20 PTS reward. Born in Sweden, the 2006 Koeniggsegg was built to complete in the top echelon of automotive history.

This car is as light as you can find, incorporating Kevlar, aluminum, and carbon fiber to squeeze the best performance out of the blazing 4.7 supercharged engine homecooked in Sweden specially for this car. Light body and a quaking engine make this car reach above 300 KM/h when you step on that pedal.

Unlock this striking rarity on the second week of Community Choice.

If you have any suggestions to make the Forza Horizon 5 experience better than it has been, visit our Suggestions Hub and let us know!

Contact the team on the Troubleshooting Hub if you see any issues with this new update or its features.

This week’s rewards will be available to unlock until January 18. Which one are you going for first?

Hello everyone ,

I'd like to provide an update on the current status.

First of all, thank you all for participating in the playtest, for filling out the surveys, and for being actively present on our server.

Secondly, the playtest has gone well, and we don't see any fundamental issues that would require us to delay the release for a long time. However, we do have some balance and notification issues that we've addressed and now want to further test in another playtest. We've just launched it, adding 2000 more participants. Those who already had access will also be able to play. This playtest will last for 5-7 days.

We have started preparations for a marketing campaign ahead of the release, but the team wants to ensure that the balance is right before announcing specific dates. I also believe this is in the best interest of all of you, especially those who have encountered the challenges posed by the Church and other issues in the last build. 🙂

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to your feedback,

Dmitry.
