Returning favorites hit the Horizon Festival.

From rewards to decorations, this series is filled with some of the community’s favorite moments of Forza Horizon 5.

Take a look at the returning hits that will show up during Community Choice.

Bright Lights, Big Festival.

The Horizon Festival has a glow up with the return of the bright neon lights to the Horizon Festival.

Aeródromo en la Selva’s glowing snake pattern on its landing strip makes a triumphant return from the Midnight racers update back in March.

Not only is this getting a glow-up, but you will also be able to see a drone show displaying a bullseye at the end of the track. Run off the track and aim for the center!

More drones equal more fun, so we are also hosting a drone show on Dunas Blancas. The drones will be visible from the Expansion fast-travel location in Mexico.

Another bright hit returns to the Horizon Festival, drive across Valle de las Ranas during the Autumn season to smash and collect the returning Neon Cube Collectible and complete the “Best in Poll” challenge.

Throwback Stunts.
Sixteen stunts are making a flashy comeback on Community Choice.

For the Community, By the Community.
We know the members of our community are amazing creators, and so we could not miss out on the chance to put the spotlight on some of their best work.

Community Choice will feature badges and photo challenges that make use of the community’s amazing creativity and passion for the game.

Wear Them with Pride.
Two community-made badges made it into this series to unlock.

• Unlock the “Working Together” Badge by obtaining the 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO during Community Choice.
• Obtain the “Making Your Mark” Badge getting the 2011 McLaren 12C Coupé while Community Choice is live.

Both of these badges were designed by community member Soupmcpasta who has both amazing skills in badge creation and a magnificent culinary taste.
