This week, two teams featuring modern machines and retro racers clash at the Horizon Backstage Vote! Both pairs travel between different eras and continents to gather and compete for your vote. Pick your favorite in-game and unlock it with Backstage Passes next week!



A 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine and excellent suspension system are among the highlights of the first car in this week’s contest: the 1991 Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo! Up next is an everyday ride with cranked up performance and the lovely NISMO badge: the 2018 Nissan Sentra NISMO!




Dubbed the “Blue Meanie” due to its characteristic color, the first car in the second pair comes from down under: welcome the 1985 HDT VK Commodore Group A! Closing this week’s selection is a luxurious and powerful AWD saloon: the 2021 Bentley Flying Spur.
