It’s the penultimate week of the Donut Media crew at Horizon, which means the latest round of events, challenges and rewards is almost here.

Before we buckle up for the complete rundown of this week’s content, a friendly reminder that you can discuss the latest Festival Playlist content on the Forza Forums and share your ideas for future updates and improvements on our official Suggestions Hub.

Forza Horizon 5’s new reward car this week is the 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon. Known as the “Woody” for its iconic looks, this is an iconic truck that served families loyally thanks to its ample storage space and 90 horsepower. It’s also a car that begs to be captured in a picturesque location, therefore we recommend driving it to the beaches along Mexico’s vibrant coastline once you’ve earned the 20 PTS to unlock it.
