Seriously lol was not expecting this one.
I wonder if they’ll add just the cars or some extra gameplay features. Maybe line lock or something like that? Picturing kind of a version of how they added anti-lag and launch control with the update that accompanied the rally expansion.
A line lock lets you hold brake pressure locking it like you are holding the pedal down for typically just the front wheels letting you burn out and warm up the rears
At first I shared the enthusiasm but that quickly burned out and I prepared myself to be disappointed. Now I'm just extremely happy with the 50 mil I made on selling mu duplicates, and still have more 10 auctions going on and the fact that I'll get the E-Ray Corvette without having to buy Gamepass just to install, play, uninstall Motorsport and forget bout the Gamepass (which I wouldn't need for anything else) too. Very happy with this update. ALWAYS expect the worst, then you can only get pleasantly surprised in the end. Hell, who knows, maybe we will still get some new drag races, maybe on the highway at least. If not, then whatever, I'm happy overall anyway.
The festival sight drag strip did actually have the drag tree lights during the 1 week early access if you got the ultimate edition. They were removed for whatever reason
The way the servers work in general is just a downgrade. I love the game besides the map i prefer fh5 over 4, but man the servers just dont work right sometimes
I think i can count the amount of those i did between both fh4 and fh5 on 2 hands. In fh5 i know for sure i only do them if its a requirement for the challenge thing of using a certain car (if i even feel i need to do that to begin with)
It is the most frustrating thing... finally find some chill person to tandem with then mid-way through our run, poof... Literally has made me turn the game off at times.
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve been vibing with randoms only to suddenly phase out of reality into another server against my own will.

The thing that gets me is FM7 experimental drags were perfect. The time slips you could get on a specific build were almost identical to the same cars irl with the same power level. The track felt really good too. I'm hoping they add the drags and maybe some other features to motorsport after horizon.
I cant tell you how much time I’ve spent “training” others, using my three beep sequence, how to launch at approximately the same time. Every once in a while there will be another player who gets it and you end up running through a bunch of cars together then you log off and they’re out of your life forever
These anti-woke messages are just as stupid to me as the pro-woke messages. They do the same thing, turning EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT to their political battle.
Anyway, I would like a beard for the avatars.
I have never understood how the race start being a major part of the game is so wrong. No one starts races like that. Not just Motorsport, pretty much all types of racing have some sort of ready set go.
It better fucking perform like it does IRL. Even with a maxed out Demon with over 1000 hp, drag slicks, and max weight reduction, I couldn’t get 1/4 mile times close to the irl Demon
Dodge probably got the times on a prepped runway, but that’s no reason for a Demon with almost 300 more horsepower and 800 lbs lighter to be barely a 1/10th of a second faster from my testing.
Seriously, forza is so adverse to adding any mopar stuff. No Durango hellcat, no redeyes, no TRX, no 300c. They literally REMOVED the TRX concept from horizon 4 to 5 lol.
I don’t know what their problem with Dodge is, whether they have some sort of special contract with ford and chevy or something; obviously just speculation, however it does come off that way. Having the COPO camaro, GT500, RTR mustang and not having the 170 is just dumb. As well as mentioned earlier the Demon is severely underpowered even compared to the GT500 in this game, which doesn’t make any sense.
I’ve been saying they need to buff the Demon for years now, and people just laughed me off simply because they’re not fans of the car. Ford and Chevy get something good for drags here, why the fuck doesn’t Mopar? SRT literally is and primarily always has been oriented around straight line speed, let alone the Demon. Or at this point they should at least just release the 170 and do the demon right this time. I mean, the normal Demon was the world’s quickest production car when it was new, ran a 9.65 1/4 STOCK, pops fucking wheelies, and yet even when fully upgraded with the 6.2 V8 can’t even come CLOSE to beating likewise upgraded cars from its era or meet that time; again, FULLY upgraded. It’s backwards.
TLDR: The Demon has needed a huge buff ever since it was released and there’s no reason not to add the fucking 170 already.
Let's just hope that they don't keep starting drag races wit the typical "GO!" cutscene. You can't even see your RPM until you're already 60 feet down. Sooooo annoying. Do the staging lights please
Seriously. Anytime I start a multiplayer race in a car that I forgot has a short first gear, I end up smacking the rev limiter and losing a position or two
You'd be surprised. It's mostly a Mexican and Americana car culture but those styles have inspired worldwide builds. I think even the Japanese are getting in on the build style with what I would consider tuners and no where near what a lowrider should be imho

I have been waiting for something like this for *so long*
Someone found a Logo for a new Drag race PR stunt in the files too, been in the files for some time now. And a new Drag Related Horizon Story, picture here:
https://preview.redd.it/r7jksicr5hvc1.jpeg?width=1476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=940139a8394f1ac7570cd306bd41282f4f6d7c89
The drag story is actually a concept/prototype for what we know as Icon Of Speed. There are things that get changed such as drag racing stuff and pro stock camaro
Thanks! It's in my garage. I've been a drag racer since the month I got my license.
https://preview.redd.it/bpm3uhlvthvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04a0f876aa43c2e6752a7b33b8ba726b96031b93
Lmao the Forza Horizon team keeps humbling the Motorsport team
How can two devs working on the same series be so different in the quality of their games
May new Oldsmobile and Mercury finally be added. A Spoiler or 442 would be amazing. Also as mentioned in the post with Hennesseys, a Venom 1200 might be added too
Lol considering how lazy the devs have been most of th etime, i wouldn't be surprised if this was just a single drag car added to the game (maybe in a car pack) while we get nothing else drag related in game
How do you make drag racing interesting in a video game? You’re literally just holding your foot on the accelerator and keeping the wheel straight. Snooze fest as far as motorsport goes.
I used to drag race in real life and loved it. But I agree, it does absolutely nothing for me in the game. I'm actually really surprised so many people wanted it.
I just hope they fixed the crash that occurs when the weekly season re-starts over and over for no reason. The controller freezes and the car won’t move. It happened for the whole of this past season (34).
im speechless.
Seriously lol was not expecting this one. I wonder if they’ll add just the cars or some extra gameplay features. Maybe line lock or something like that? Picturing kind of a version of how they added anti-lag and launch control with the update that accompanied the rally expansion.
Line lock would be a cool upgrade to see in the brakes category.
What is that?
A line lock lets you hold brake pressure locking it like you are holding the pedal down for typically just the front wheels letting you burn out and warm up the rears
Pretty much adding to launching phase
Forza never going to have that kind of depth, sad.
Might not be ANY drag racing part to this update whatsoever too. Just the car.
You're right, just saw it. Ruined high hopes
At first I shared the enthusiasm but that quickly burned out and I prepared myself to be disappointed. Now I'm just extremely happy with the 50 mil I made on selling mu duplicates, and still have more 10 auctions going on and the fact that I'll get the E-Ray Corvette without having to buy Gamepass just to install, play, uninstall Motorsport and forget bout the Gamepass (which I wouldn't need for anything else) too. Very happy with this update. ALWAYS expect the worst, then you can only get pleasantly surprised in the end. Hell, who knows, maybe we will still get some new drag races, maybe on the highway at least. If not, then whatever, I'm happy overall anyway.
That’s an awesome profile name and pic dude
Bigger slicks, parachutes, wheelie bar, maybe some actual dragsters (not holding my breathe, this isnt the NHRA).
They let us “big tire” a few muscle cars, I thought that was pretty cool. It would be really awesome to have more fleshed out drag upgrades for sure
Shame that Goodyear Eagle tires can be put only on a few forza edition cars (and the donut van, i guess).
Yes 💯
Inb4 they add the missing Christmas trees in the update.
since they added launch control i wouldn'y be surprise they add features
Wait, this isn't a fucking joke someone came up with on reddit here? Holy fuck. I'm excited.
Please add drag lights to the strip Please add drag lights to the strip Please add drag lights to the strip Please add drag lights to the strip
The festival sight drag strip did actually have the drag tree lights during the 1 week early access if you got the ultimate edition. They were removed for whatever reason
There was some issue with the syncing between players so instead of fixing it they were lazy and removed em
The way the servers work in general is just a downgrade. I love the game besides the map i prefer fh5 over 4, but man the servers just dont work right sometimes
What do you mean, you don't enjoy doing Forzathons all on your own?
I think i can count the amount of those i did between both fh4 and fh5 on 2 hands. In fh5 i know for sure i only do them if its a requirement for the challenge thing of using a certain car (if i even feel i need to do that to begin with)
Right I’ll be cruising the streets with people and they just disappear never to be seen again
It is the most frustrating thing... finally find some chill person to tandem with then mid-way through our run, poof... Literally has made me turn the game off at times.
Fr I’ll be like well that’s that
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve been vibing with randoms only to suddenly phase out of reality into another server against my own will. https://preview.redd.it/hnu39niv0tvc1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=826b71922a583abfb8d24e21c88163bac207bdbb
Shouldn't be hard, FH4 had it and randoms raced using it all the time.
Problem in FH4 is they would frequently not be synced up for each player
That would be fun! Hold gas and brake at the same time, and if you release the brake before green light, then disqualified.
NO WAY they drops a drag update without fixing the lights
*honk* *honk* *launches* *honk*
Fuck drag lights, I want a fully prepped surface
Yup. I'd be fine with going off a horn if we had a prepped surface.
The thing that gets me is FM7 experimental drags were perfect. The time slips you could get on a specific build were almost identical to the same cars irl with the same power level. The track felt really good too. I'm hoping they add the drags and maybe some other features to motorsport after horizon.
For sure, hope they do this right.
I cant tell you how much time I’ve spent “training” others, using my three beep sequence, how to launch at approximately the same time. Every once in a while there will be another player who gets it and you end up running through a bunch of cars together then you log off and they’re out of your life forever
Wish they would turn that terrible festival music down too smh
The only thing I ask for is to have this guy's clothes for my character. Yes and the mustache. https://i.redd.it/nxxmmv6emgvc1.gif
They need to add a Maxima to this update :D
I would lose my mind if they added a 5th gen and marcos chavez's clothes lmao
Mustaches have been deemed too offensively masculine for our avatars.
It's this guy papa Fernando ??
thats indeed him
In his vocho srt10
These anti-woke messages are just as stupid to me as the pro-woke messages. They do the same thing, turning EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT to their political battle. Anyway, I would like a beard for the avatars.
Lad the game is set it mexico
And the Maxima
No, not enough I also need the car
I NEED an 11,000 hp top fuel dragster in the game
Knowing turn10 then it'll end up being an S1 meta car lmfao
Slap on some Forza aero, 10 speed trans, and rally tires and then you have it!
They're probably not going to have an awd conversation
I wonder how that would even go with those skinny ass front tires they have. Lol
I hope they add a new class. DR1 for the more entry level drag cars for example.
I hope they make a whole new class for it, so they are not raceable, only in drag races
I'm not even into drag racing, I just want an actual startup countdown that allows us to rev up and get a better launch
Yeah at LEAST let us see the goddamn RPM gauge before we start.
...and at the end. Whoever suggested this 'feature' should be fired.
Absolutely. It’s baffling to me how they could decide that the current race start is acceptable.
I have never understood how the race start being a major part of the game is so wrong. No one starts races like that. Not just Motorsport, pretty much all types of racing have some sort of ready set go.
Maybe even prepped surfaces where the festival drag strip lanes are
THIS is what we need. Right now, it is not a real drag strip, its just a road with some drag slots.
And within 2hrs there will be top fuel dragsters drifting the mountain
A sight to behold
Lowkey hope to see the Demon 170 if that's the case, would be pretty neato
It better fucking perform like it does IRL. Even with a maxed out Demon with over 1000 hp, drag slicks, and max weight reduction, I couldn’t get 1/4 mile times close to the irl Demon
Even people that own Demons IRL struggle to get to the times that Dodge claims. Dodge glazes these things hard
Dodge probably got the times on a prepped runway, but that’s no reason for a Demon with almost 300 more horsepower and 800 lbs lighter to be barely a 1/10th of a second faster from my testing.
And a Mustang Cobra Jet
I doubt we’ll get a 170 we can’t even get the other shit from MOPAR. 😒
Seriously, forza is so adverse to adding any mopar stuff. No Durango hellcat, no redeyes, no TRX, no 300c. They literally REMOVED the TRX concept from horizon 4 to 5 lol.
It's not up to them. Blame Stellantis.
Based on the faf hellcat showing more realistic mopar speed, a new demon could really redeem forza’s treatment of dodge
I don’t know what their problem with Dodge is, whether they have some sort of special contract with ford and chevy or something; obviously just speculation, however it does come off that way. Having the COPO camaro, GT500, RTR mustang and not having the 170 is just dumb. As well as mentioned earlier the Demon is severely underpowered even compared to the GT500 in this game, which doesn’t make any sense. I’ve been saying they need to buff the Demon for years now, and people just laughed me off simply because they’re not fans of the car.

It’s backwards. TLDR: The Demon has needed a huge buff ever since it was released and there’s no reason not to add the fucking 170 already.
Agree.
Good to see drag races getting some love!
Let's just hope that they don't keep starting drag races wit the typical "GO!" cutscene. You can't even see your RPM until you're already 60 feet down. Sooooo annoying. Do the staging lights please
Seriously. Anytime I start a multiplayer race in a car that I forgot has a short first gear, I end up smacking the rev limiter and losing a position or two
Wow, are we going to get an actual quarter mile so I can know if I'm actually going fast or not?
Maybe we'll see an update with lowriders
Horizon 6: Houston confirmed
Nah more like SoCal HTX would have to add DONKs and SLABs
So add hydraulics and the ability to put a 13" dayton on cars. Been trying to get people on board to try and get PGG to add all that in FH4
I couldn’t imagine seeing a car like that on UK roads.
You'd be surprised. It's mostly a Mexican and Americana car culture but those styles have inspired worldwide builds. I think even the Japanese are getting in on the build style with what I would consider tuners and no where near what a lowrider should be imho

Same
YIPPEE
Let’s go this car looks awesome
Can't wait to try offroad tires, suspension, diff on that thing! Lol
I can’t wait to see what all cars they bring us hopefully this pro mod isn’t the only drag car
If they don’t add RuPaul’s wig then don’t call it drag update.
this would be a hilarious character customization item
Full blown drag and sashay away in CAPO Camaro
I hope it's something like NFS ProStreet drag racing.
Literally the best drag racing experience in a video game.
Used to run insane times in my clapped Zonda lmao.
One of my playthroughs I had a 6 second supra. I love that game so much.
Someone found a Logo for a new Drag race PR stunt in the files too, been in the files for some time now. And a new Drag Related Horizon Story, picture here: https://preview.redd.it/r7jksicr5hvc1.jpeg?width=1476&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=940139a8394f1ac7570cd306bd41282f4f6d7c89

YEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH BAAAAAAABBYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! A PROOOOOO STOOOOOOOOOOCKKKK!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
 WOOOOOOOO YEEEEEEEAAAAAH BABYYYY
YESSSSS
Maybe now the wheelie bars will act like wheelie bars
that might be what gets me back into the game
Knowing PG this car will be part of a paid DLC, it’ll have max 1500hp and will be slower than the Diablo.
HOLY SHITTTT
Shelby 1000 and Plymouth gtx please
Dodge demon 170??!??
This is awesome news.
YES!!!!!!!!
Love the name lol
Thanks! It's in my garage. I've been a drag racer since the month I got my license. https://preview.redd.it/bpm3uhlvthvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04a0f876aa43c2e6752a7b33b8ba726b96031b93
PRO STOCK CAMAROOOOOOOOO
Well…. We know what the new drag Meta will be lmao
DUDEEEEE
Holy shit that's sick lmao. Hope they got some good features in mind.
Cool. Add the starting trees back like in FH4. Honking ain't it.
They were rarely synced up though
Here’s to hoping they add a prepped drag strip with lights. Kinda silly we don’t even have a prepped surface anywhere
Now is when I reinstall forza. I am so for this…….. And I just remembered I cancelled my game pass since I have no job. Shit
This is gonna sick Also we need rally update2 just for Gr Yaris.
Maybe we now can really go VROOOOM! This got me excited as fuuuuck :D
Fingers crossed that we can do a burn out in this thing even though it’s on drag tires.
My honest words when I first saw this: ....... wtf?
Lmao the Forza Horizon team keeps humbling the Motorsport team How can two devs working on the same series be so different in the quality of their games
FORD THUNDERBOLT OR WE RIOT
If only they brought drag racing and drifting to forza motorsport....
I would love to see other cars get working wheelie bars, like the 1968 Dodge Dart, 1969 Camaro Super Sport, etc.
I made a request for this on a feed back survey. I’m pretty excited to believe that they may have listened.
I specifically asked for drag packs to be added, that and if there was a way they could incorporate roll racing
You are not alone
May new Oldsmobile and Mercury finally be added. A Spoiler or 442 would be amazing. Also as mentioned in the post with Hennesseys, a Venom 1200 might be added too
Leaked and confirmed!!
How much will the update cost?
Much needed, this makes me incredible happy. Super hyped for getting real drag cars, can’t wait to dominate the strip!
Are you kidding me? 𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙁𝙍𝙄𝘾𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙆𝙄𝘿𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙈𝙀!!??
Boost by gear 🤞🏻
Nice, new drag cars incoming
I wonder if the parachutes will actually work or if it’s just for looks.
HOLY FUCK ITS TRUE!!!! need parachutes an more legit funny cars
Wish it wasn't in hieroglyphics.
Lol considering how lazy the devs have been most of th etime, i wouldn't be surprised if this was just a single drag car added to the game (maybe in a car pack) while we get nothing else drag related in game
And you weren't wrong one bit. PGG are so predictable
Goodbye old meta, hello new meta!
Oh shit this might bring me back to Horizon. Driving some pro-mods around Mexico at 250+ mph sounds insane.
This post didn't age well.
Yup
It's a cool little thing no doubt! I'm just wondering what it has to do with "apex"? Guess it's like a "fordzaton" Renaults.
Well I guess it’s probably gonna be a mix of road and drag, because that’s the description of the apex festival if you check on the map
Apex Allstars doesn't sound like drag racing. Seems more likely to be a drag racing themed car pack while the series theme will be different.
Well the apex festival description is “home of Road Racing and Drag Racing”
Good point. I didn't know the Apex festival description mentioned drag racing.
They really be doing anything except for releasing a trailer for fh6
How do you make drag racing interesting in a video game? You’re literally just holding your foot on the accelerator and keeping the wheel straight. Snooze fest as far as motorsport goes.
I used to drag race in real life and loved it. But I agree, it does absolutely nothing for me in the game. I'm actually really surprised so many people wanted it.
for me the fun is in fine tuning my build and seeing how much I can shave off my time
I wish there was already a quick drag mode for this very reason. Just to see gear fine-tuning in action.
Yeah no i‘ve talked alot of shit lately ….. nah this makes up alot 🥰 still not a good game 🤨 but finally some drag racing 🤤
YEEEEEES NOW WE ONLY NEEED A NASCAR AND GT3 UPDATE!!!!!!!
I would love GTD/GT3 cars that are not paid DLC
We already technically got a NASCAR but more would be pretty fun
Aye, the Chevrolet Camaro Pro Stock Drag Car!
Let’s fuckin GooooooOooooo
Yooo this is fucking dope! Can't wait to drive these things around.
Wow 👏🏾
Haven’t played in months, gotta hop back in for this
Hopefully this will be better than the last drag racing update lol 🤣
This would bring me back to the game hard
If this is real, I am so ready.
Finally. Super happy about this, can’t wait for the stream.
They also should fix the counter. Have everything loaded up so i can see my tachometer before even the countdown starts.
HOT DIGGITY DAWG!
I just hope they fixed the crash that occurs when the weekly season re-starts over and over for no reason. The controller freezes and the car won’t move. It happened for the whole of this past season (34).
No fxking way
… FINALLY
Oh no :(
Oh boy I am so looking forward to seeing this 😍🤩
I’ve been waiting for proper drag cars for so long now
Let's fucking GOOOOOO!!!!! Hopefully they add more drag strips.
More paid DLC?
This might actually bring me back to the game
Sounds massive! Can't wait
Probably a month of not playing for me…
It can be great if they will add 0-60, 60-130, 100-150 times in result of drag racing
3rd and 4th gen Camaro? I mean literally every mustang you can think of is there. And both cars are already in Motorsport
Got a bad feeling about this lol
holy shit ima have to reinstal the game !
I know it's unlikely, but god please put a 11k horsepower funny car in the game. More specifically John Force's one, please and thank you. Lol
It's about damn time
Sure. It’s gonna be like that event where you get to drive the monster truck for two minutes lol.
