Hall of Fame#

The Hall of Fame is Horizon 5’s ultimate achievement system. Once your total Influence passes a threshold, you enter the Hall of Fame. Your progress is permanently recorded, and you can view global rankings in game.

Entering the Hall of Fame#

Upon entry, the system ranks you globally by total Influence.

Prestige Levels#

Once your character level hits 200 (the Influence cap), you may choose to Prestige. Prestiging resets your level to 1 but keeps every car, item, credit, and accolade. Each Prestige unlocks a new badge and raises the level cap.

Rally Adventure DLC#

DLC Content#

• Three teams: choose which rally team to join

Rally Teams#

Rally Mode Traits#

Co-driver system: In Rally Adventure, a co-driver rides shotgun calling route instructions. They use calls like “left”, “right”, “tightens”, “care” to describe the road ahead. Learning to listen to your co-driver is the key to good stage times.

Point-to-point events: Unlike circuit racing, rallies run point-to-point from start to finish. No repeated laps — every stage is a new route. Roads are narrow and surfaces constantly change.

Rally Tips#

• Use AWD cars — RWD is hard to control on loose surfaces
• Don’t hold full throttle — lifting in the right places beats braking
• Stay on clean surfaces — avoid shoulders and gullies
• The co-driver calls corners in advance — react to the call, not the corner
• Use every bit of available road width on straights for the fastest line
• Manual shifting is recommended in rallies for better engine braking

Long-Term Endgame Goals#

100% Completion#

• Collect every car (500+)
• Complete every accolade (100% Accolades)
• 3-star every PR Stunt
• 3-star every Drift Zone
• Buy every house
• Collect every outfit, horn, and emote
• Discover every Barn Find
• Smash every Bonus Board
• Gold-rate every Horizon Story chapter
• Reach the global top 1,000 in the Hall of Fame

Self-Imposed Challenges#

• Win every event in a D-class or C-class car
• Clear the series with every assist off
• Complete a full Open Racing event with manual-with-clutch
• Explore the map without fast travel
• Buy cars only from the Auction House, never the Autoshow
• Complete a single-brand collection

Forzathon Shop#

The Forzathon Shop is the fixed store for spending Forzathon Points, refreshing its stock every Thursday alongside the seasonal update. It usually carries one season-exclusive car, one returning car, assorted cosmetics and horns, plus a pair of regular Wheelspins.

• Forzathon Points never expire — saving them for a returning car you love is the smart play
• Watch official announcements before Thursday’s refresh and plan your spending
• Returning cars are first-come, first-served and don’t carry over after the refresh

Autoshow Draws and Wheelspins#

The Autoshow draw system is a major channel for rare cars. Regular and Super Wheelspins can roll cars, credits, outfits, and horns; duplicate cars auto-convert to credits, so nothing is wasted.

• Sell unwanted pulls at the Auction House immediately — better than the auto-conversion
• When buying Wheelspins from the Forzathon Shop, double-check your remaining points
• Spend Playlist-earned Wheelspins within the season — don’t let them pile into the next Series
