All owners of the base game in Forza Horizon 5 will receive several additional vehicles with a rally theme for free. Developer Playground Games is focused on creating the proper atmosphere before the release of an entirely new expansion pack that will be released late in March to commemorate the history and culture of rallying. Forza Horizon 5 had hundreds of automobiles when it first started, but dozens more have already been added through further content upgrades. Thematic seasons in FH5 have given players the chance to target-farm particular types of vehicles without having to pay any more money, and this is sure to continue in the upcoming weeks as well. 

Playground Games is doing a complete 180 with the content strategy for its Rally Adventure DLC, switching from the JDM season of Forza Horizon 5 to dirt racing and rallying. In addition to two vehicles that have returned from previous Forza games, the 2016 Hoonigan GYMKHANA 9 Ford Focus RS-RX and the 1986 Audi Sport Quattro S1, players who are eager to get ready for off-roading will have the chance to unlock franchise newcomers 2021 SIERRA Cars 700R and 1980 Subaru BRAT GL. Furthermore, appearing will be the 2015 Honda Ridgeline Baja Trophy Truck, the 2021 Polaris RZR Pro XP, and the 1985 Nissan Safari Turbo. 

Before Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure is going to be released on March 29, users will be able to test their talents with each of the vehicles as they lead their selection of dirt-racing activity. All of this translates to a rare opportunity for players to significantly upgrade their garages with vehicles designed to take on both classic and contemporary rallies without having to pay additional fees for the next expansion pack. 

Even more intriguing is the fact that, should players so choose, all the new rally cars will be able to accommodate the new rally DLC upgrades for Forza Horizon 5. These will have the power to transform even the modest Subaru BRAT GL into a rallying beast capable of competing with the best vehicles the sport has to offer. Although it is unclear how extensive these changes will be, some examples include launch control, anti-lag, and firecracker audio effects. 

Naturally, not even the brand-new Rally Adventure DLC will be able to make Forza Horizon 5 truly enticing to gamers who didn't like the game's main gameplay loop. The next Forza Motorsport already appears to be amazing for some of those gamers, and it should provide a more sobering, realistic racing experience that almost definitely will also feature rally-related activities.
