Choosing is not an easy task

When you see the range of cars, your eyes literally wander. You want to immediately choose the coolest car and hit the road. But don't rush into it. A rational approach is needed here. Don't just rely on the car's specifications. Often, the most powerful car will look pale on a particular track. And it's all about the road's characteristics.

Pay attention to the tips given before each race. They will indicate which of the available cars is best suited for the track. But don't blindly rely on the hints, also try to weigh for yourself which characteristics can bring you victory. Each track has its own car with which you can compete for the first place, rather than just reaching the finish line.

Upgrade, upgrade, and upgrade again!

Each of your victories or successful tricks will be rewarded, including skill points. These points are used for upgrades. But there is a secret here.

Upgrade each car that you like the most separately. Don't try to cover the entire garage, as it will lead to nothing. But if you upgrade several cars, you can get very nice bonuses as a result.

Don't waste points on upgrading a whole skill tree.

Slower is faster!

This advice particularly applies to those who love high-speed racing. Keep in mind that in races, it will not only not help but also harm you. You won't be able to fit into a turn at full speed, and that threatens defeat in the race. It's better to make sure the arrow doesn't turn red. Because if you enter turns smoothly, that's already half the victory, if not more!

Where's my reward?

There is a very interesting section in the game called "Awards." It stores everything you earned for achievements and successes in the game. But you won't always promptly respond to notifications and visit this section to claim what's due to you. Especially if you get carried away. It's better to visit "Awards" on your own with a certain periodicity.

The importance of exploration

Don't just participate in races, as you have an extensive location full of surprises ahead of you. You just need to carefully explore it! Discovering the area provides necessary experience points, which you can confidently spend on upgrades. And that's not all that awaits attentive explorers in the world of Forza Horizon 5.

The secret of fast travel

It's no secret that you can quickly travel across the map using purchased houses. But that's not the only way. If you carefully study the game's location, you can see signs with the words "Fast Travel." Well, these signs will also help you quickly move between points on the map.

You just need to knock them down. But it takes effort because reaching them is often not easy at all. Aim to knock down all the signs because as a reward, you'll get free fast travel.

The cherry on top

There's a secret that applies to the DeLorean car. You can reduce its cost to as low as 15,000 credits! And here's what you need to do for that. Go to the car collection, then find the card that belongs to the DeLorean. It will be empty. Click on it and exit the collection.

Now go back in. Press "Y" on the gamepad. That's it, now you can buy the car for 15,000 credits. It's a bug, but why not take advantage of such an opportunity?
