Forza Horizon 5 adds the 2023 Porsche 911 Rallye to this week’s rewards

Forza Horizon 5 players can unlock the 2023 Porsche 911 Rallye in this week’s Spring rewards, with Playground Games saying the car is available until November 19. The latest Festival Playlist also brings back the Stadium Oval for Horizon Track Day, adds the returning Helmet Piñata Collectibles, and fills the week with championships, PR stunts, EventLab routes and side activities.

The Porsche sits at the centre of the update. Playground Games describes the 911 Rallye as a car built for surfaces beyond regular roads, and the announcement leans into that off-road focus rather than treating it as a standard road version of the 911. It is the featured 20 PTS Spring reward, while the broader series progression also includes two Porsche and Lotus prizes at the top end of the playlist.

Porsche 911 Rallye is the 20-PT Spring reward

The 2023 Porsche 911 Rallye uses the same 3.0-liter flat-six engine found in a Carrera GTS, according to Playground Games. The studio says it can reach 100 kph in just over 3 seconds, and that it comes with all-wheel drive and a complete off-road package.

Its hardware is set up to match that brief. Playground Games says the Rallye’s suspension has been lifted by 2 inches, with an additional 1.2 inches available when needed. It also rides on Pirelli Scorpion tires built for use on any terrain.

That puts the car in a useful position for this week’s playlist, which mixes road racing, rally content, stunt events and expansion activities. The Rallye is one of the clearer examples in the reward pool of a car tuned for mixed surfaces rather than circuit-only use.

The rest of the series reward ladder is headed by the 2017 Porsche #92 Porsche GT Team 911 RSR at 80 PTS and the 2009 Lotus 2-Eleven at 160 PTS. On the Spring side, 40 PTS earns a Backstage Pass.

Horizon Track Day returns to the Stadium Oval

Playground Games says the Stadium Oval is taking over the Stadium again during all four weeks of Horizon Track Day. Week two brings the returning Helmet Piñata Collectibles back into the Oval Track, with the Safety First Challenge asking players to smash 10 of them to complete this week’s Festival Playlist objective.

The seasonal format keeps the oval at the centre of the week, but it does not limit the rest of the Playlist to one style of driving. The studio’s lineup spreads events across racing, drifting, jumps, treasure hunting and multiplayer.

The announcement’s full event list includes the following rewards and restrictions:

• Forzathon Weekly: Arbalist — 2013 KTM X-Bow R — 160 Forzathon PTS — 5 PTS
• EventLab: SMR 2: The Mayan Discovery — Rally Monsters – S1 900 — Super Wheelspin — 3 PTS
• EventLab: Royal Palms Intl. Speedway — Modern Supercars – S1 900 — Banjo-Kazooie Spiral Mountain Part 1 — 3 PTS
• The Trial: Porsche the Button — Porsche (AWD) – A 800 — 2010 Jaguar C-X75 — 10 PTS
• Seasonal Championship: Best of US — American Modern Muscle – A 800 — 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 — 3 PTS
• Seasonal Championship: Speed and Precision — UK Track Toys – S1 900 — 2012 Porsche 911 GT2 RS — 3 PTS
• PR Stunt: Event Horizon – Danger Sign — Super GT – S1 900 — Super Wheelspin — 2 PTS
• PR Stunt: Punto Norte – Drift Zone — Super GT – S1 900 — Super Wheelspin — 2 PTS
• PR Stunt: Hillside – Drift Zone — Super GT – S1 900 — Super Wheelspin — 2 PTS

Expansion events, collectibles and side activities

The playlist also reaches into both expansions. The Hot Wheels Seasonal Championship, Cloud Racer, awards the 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS for completing it, while the Rally Adventure Seasonal Championship, Getting to Grits, rewards the 2017 VUHL 05RR. Those events are joined by their own PR stunt objectives, including the Hot Wheels Canyon Jump – Danger Sign and Rally Adventure Canyon – Danger Sign, both set at Rally Monsters – A 800 and each paying out a Super Wheelspin.

Outside the racing events, Playground Games also lists a Photo Challenge, Treasure Hunt, Hide & Seek and Horizon Super7 task. The Photo Challenge, #FastAnMartin, asks players to photograph any Aston Martin at the Drag Strip Speed Trap and rewards a Photo Hoodie. The Treasure Hunt, Time Laps, gives 100 ForzaThon Points for completing a lap of the stadium in under 20 seconds. The Hide & Seek event awards a Super Wheelspin, and the Horizon Super7 challenge also pays out a Super Wheelspin for finishing all seven Challenge Cards.

The week’s playlist keeps the focus on variety, but the headline reward is clear: the 2023 Porsche 911 Rallye is now the Spring prize attached to this week’s Horizon Track Day update, with the rest of the challenges built around the Stadium Oval, Porsche races, off-road stunts and expansion content.
