I really hope one of the expansions for Forza Horizon 6 is a rally one like FH5 had, that was so much fun. The rally-spec cars are such a blast to drive because they accelerate like an absolute motherfucker but don't go to absolutely ludicrous speed like supercars do so you don't end up sitting there going "OHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT". 😅

A screenshot of the Subaru Vivio, it's a very small red hatchback that's been lowered and big rims put on. The design of it very much brings to mind the Mazda 121 of the 90s. It's parked in a very narrow alley in Tokyo at night, with a bunch of lit-up shop signs stretching away down the alley, and it's been raising so there are water drops on the car and reflections in the puddles on the road in front of the car.

Forza Horizon 6 is out, and as per tradition I've taken a teensy little car and turned it into an absolute pocket rocket. 😁 This is a 1994 Subaru Vivio RX-R that now weighs all of 757kg but has a 4-cylinder 2.0L naturally-aspirated engine in it and it puts out 169kW! It's AWD so you basically point it in a direction and it'll fly there. I could have gone really nuts and added a turbo and done more engine upgrades but I wanted to keep it in Class B.

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 5 taken from behind and a reasonable way above the car. The car itself is a black 1991 Nissan Pulsar hatchback, that wonderful early 90s not-quite-completely-boxy shape where car designers realised they could round off some of the edges. The car is blasting along a dirt road in the rolling hills of a rural area with dust billowing out behind it, there are a handful of trees around and a bit of scrub and it all looks very dry. There's a wooden telegraph pole at the right with a single cable stretching behind the frame, and out beyond the trees. The overall light in the scene is warm and it looks like it's getting towards late afternoon.

Book-ending the weekend with Forza Horizon! This time I'm blasting around a lot of the dirt tracks to get the "Drive on every single road" achievement.

It's the Friday night of a three day weekend and I'm in Forza Horizon 5 blasting through the deserts of Mexico in a hotted-up 1970 Datsun 510 while listening to the game's synthwave radio station. 👌🏻

A screenshot taken in Forza Horizon 5 of a bright red 1970 Datsun 510 sedan, it's been lowered and has cool yet tasteful black rims on it, small front and rear spoilers, and it's sitting on a rural-looking road with a bunch of quite dry-looking grass and bushes behind it. The sky is blue with fluffy clouds and you can just make out some mountains in the distance.

Right, it's time for some hooning in Forza Horizon 5 in my hotted-up 1970 Datsun 510. 😁 I put a 1.6L inline-four turbocharged rally engine into it, 224kW all up but it only weighs 807kg so it's such a responsive car to drive.

Man, tonight I had some Mad Max-esque weather to deal with while hooning around Forza Horizon 5's Sierra Nueva rally expansion!

Back on my Forza Horizon 5 bullshit again! I'd forgotten I bought the rally expansion and man is it fun to blast around this rally-spec Peugeot 207 without any of the usual breaking lines on and instead just getting the instructions from your co-pilot ("hard left", "medium right into hairpin right", that sort of thing). On asphalt it's pretty much glued to the road and even on dirt it handles extremely nicely.

A screenshot of a dust-covered black hatchback driving along a road with looming sandstone cliffs behind it.

I was a bit sceptical about the new Forza Horizon 5 DLC, it's a whole proper rally thing. By default they recommend you leave the driving line off and they have the full co-driver giving you directions ("medium right into hard left", etc.) and I gave that a go and man is it fun! I've been blasting around in my rally-spec 1990 Nissan Pulsar (the brown is actually dust, it's black underneath all that, haha).

A screenshot showing a hotted-up (pun unintended) red 1970 Datsun 510 driving along a road with rolling sand dunes behind it and clouds in the distance, and the sun blazing down. Just looking at it, it feels HOT.

Another screenshot of the same Datsun 510, this time in a different spot. There a bunch of foliage and palm trees on the side of the road being buffeted by extreme winds, the entire scene is yellow and the visibility is extremely low because I'm in the middle of a huge dust storm.

It's the hot season in Forza Horizon 5, and it feels like I'm driving on Tatooine. And then a dust storm rolled in!

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 5, it's a sunny day with cobblestone streets and obviously-Mexican buildings, and there's a massive Christmas tree in the middle the section where a road is splitting apart. On the other side of the road is a huge yellow building that I think is a church.

Another screenshot from Forza Horizon 5, showing my red Datsun 510 with big rims zooming along the road in the middle of the desert, there's lots of cactii and scrubby bushes on the side of the road.

Haha, Forza Horizon 5 is getting into the Christmas spirit as well: there's a giant Christmas tree in the middle of the city, and various other places have big candy canes lining the side of the road.

In related news, still having a ton of fun in my hotted-up Datsun 510.
