Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels XP Board locations - all bonus boards

The hardest collectible to find in Forza Horizon 5's new DLC are the XP bonus boards which are back from the main game. Thankfully, there are no fast travel boards and compared to the hundreds in the main game, there are just 25 here. So, this guide will help you out when it comes to finding them and show you all the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels XP Board locations.

The boards are scattered throughout the Ice Cauldron, Forest Falls, and Giant's Canyon pretty evenly, but there is also a rogue board that can be found at the central Horizon Nexus. They are all located off the Hot Wheels tracks and on the islands as well!

Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels Academy ranks and how to unlock them

Forza Horizon 5 changes up the formula by implementing a ranking system as its main form of progression with the Hot Wheels DLC. By completing tasks and missions within the new Hot Wheels areas you can earn new rewards and grab medals. Each medal earned will also work towards helping your climb the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels Academy ranks.

Each rank increases the difficulty of the challenge, so while things might start off easy, the tension between wins and races in the later missions will be higher.

But, before you begin tackling those tougher missions, you will need an overview of the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels Academy ranks so you can know how many medals you need to reach each new one.
