Thursday brings a new set of challenges to Mexico in the shape of Forza Horizon 5 High Performance Spring! The new Festival Playlist is packed full of great rewards, with eight cars and six Super Wheelspins to be won.
It also marks the final week of the High Performance series, which has been one of the most fun of 2023. So what better way to end it than with an exclusive reward car and some epic challenges!
Forza Horizon 5 High Performance Spring
The new season with its fresh Festival Playlist is set to start on 18 May at 3:30pm BST / 10:30am ET. You then have until 25 May 3:30pm BST / 10:30am ET to complete the challenges and unlock every reward car.
This is also the final week of the High Performance series, so it's your last chance to earn enough points to unlock the Ferrari 599XX and McLaren F1.
This week players can earn the awesome Porsche MissionR (20 points) and the Jaguar XKR-S '15 (40 points). The MissionR is exclusive to this week's Festival Playlist, so don't miss your chance to get it or you will be paying dearly at the Auction House.
Reward cars
This week there are five reward cars on offer in the base Festival Playlist, with a sixth available if you have the Hot Wheels expansion.
Completing this week's The Trial will get you the beautiful Ferrari 458 while the EventLab challenge will give you the VW Scirocco '11. The pair of Seasonal Championship events will give you the HSV Maloo '14 and the Honda NSX-R '92. Finally, you can win the Dodge Viper '08 if you win The Eliminator.
The Danger Sign, Speed Zone, and Speed Trap challenges all give you a Super Wheelspin, and there is a fourth Super Wheelspin to be bagged in the second EventLab challenge.
Expansion rewards
As mentioned, there is a sixth car you can earn, the Mercedez-Benz C63, in the Hot Wheels Seasonal Championship. You can also grab another Super Wheelspin for the Hot Wheels Speed Trap challenge.
In Rally Adventure there is another Super Wheelspin to be had for doing the Speed Zone challenge, and finally a German Engineering Hoodie for the Seasonal Championship.
