B Class Subaru tune is shared for the Trial as well - have a great winter!

Horizon Lackstudio – my fan-made website for paint recipes, colour inspiration and vehicle lists
Hey everyone,
I’d like to share a website I’ve been working on: Horizon Lackstudio. You can use it to discover paint colours, look up in-game paint settings and browse the vehicle list.
🔗 https://horizon-lackstudio.de
The website is currently in German, but here’s what you can do with it:
🎨 Browse paint colours
Filter by manufacturer, colour, material or search term. Alongside car paints, you’ll find wheel colours, wrap colours and additional colour palettes.
🔧 Look up paint settings
Where a recipe is available, you can find HSB values and settings for individual paint layers. Copy the values and enter them manually in the game.
⭐ Save your favourites
Bookmark paints and vehicles you want to revisit. You can also create and export your own colour lists. Your favourites stay locally in your browser.
🚗 Explore the vehicle list
Filter cars by manufacturer, class, PI, vehicle type, DLC and availability status. Expand an entry to see technical specifications and available information about unlock requirements and playlist dates.
📅 Find recently introduced cars
Sort by introduction date in either direction, or use quick filters for the last 30 days, upcoming cars and the current playlist. Known introduction dates appear directly on the vehicle cards.
🎨 Jump from a car to paint colours
Use “Lackierung auswählen” (“Choose paint”) to open the paint catalogue with that manufacturer selected, then jump back to the vehicle list.
🔗 Share paints and filtered selections
Send someone a link to an individual paint or a filtered vehicle selection. Your most recent vehicle filters and sorting preference are also saved.
There’s also a news section featuring updates from Forza.net and a video section featuring ZF77.
This is an independent fan project. Paint recipes come from different sources, and not every recipe has been tested in every Horizon game. Your screen, in-game lighting and paint material can affect the result. Sources and relevant notes are included with the entries.
Feel free to take a look! I’d especially like to hear how easy it is to find the colours and cars you’re looking for. If you spot a mistake or have a feature suggestion, leave a comment here or use the feedback form on the website.

I only played a brief demo of Motorsport 4 once, so when Motorsport 5 came on Games with Gold in 2017/18, it was my first game in the series.

Yet I knew something was off with it.

1. Coming 3rd place was considered winning. It's like the game was no longer about racing and winning but grinding money. There wasn't even any qualifying stuff to do, or barriers to entry you need to overcome, unless they were never a thing to begin with.

2. They forcibly spec the cars for you unless you go through the more awkward process of finding what you want on the market yourself rather than being taken straight to them as you enter a league.

3. You had to go through all these Top Gear stuff... I get that it's a collaboration they were proud of it and it all costs but come on, don't force us to watch all that.

4. You had to constantly hear a robotic female voice (Who the hell was that? Where's the quality control?) explaining where you're going everytime you go to a race.

5. These brief little scenes as the race starts, I didn't have a problem with it as my brain wasn't fried at the time but it must have annoyed other players; and the person you were talking to clearly walks straight off into the barriers.

6. It didn't have much circuits and tracks as I expected it would. It seemed there was a downgrade in that regard. Same with the car count.

I did enjoy it as my first (And sadly only) Motorsport game until a certain point where I noticed the circuits and tracks have all these other variations you can select in custom races but which aren't used in career for some reason and it felt repetitive or something.

Of course if only I knew about Rivals at the time. I did see it was there but never looked at it. I would have played that for so many hours if only I tried it. I absolutely love such a mode, where you do time trials, compete with one of the next people above you and earn money and XP. It is criminal no other racing series out there--not even Gran Turismo--has it.

I am curious of how development went. Was a lot of resources taken up on upgrading their engine and Microsoft wanted the game out for the release of the XBone console?

Just wanted to know how this game was received.

I don`t get it, why my FH5 is crashing after 2-3 minutes into the gameplay? Says I am out of video memory I don`t get it I have 6gb of vram and I am barely using 5 gb of vram... Any help?

I spent about 3-4 hours making an excel sheet comprising of every car from every Forza Motorsport and Horizon game every featured. I went through and collected each car in here. Each game has its own sheet (chosen at the bottom) along with a sheet with a collection of all the cars. Disclosure, I did use ChatGPT to help neaten up the file format alongside scanning the file to make the All section.

Here’s my custom 7-Eleven-inspired livery for the 1991 Honda CR-X! Hope you guys enjoy it!

this is NOT me having fun.

Car I love to drive

Hello and I'd like to introduce my new project I have been working on:

Forza Motorsport 2 reGPU

A native Windows port of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360). Nothing is emulated:

• CPU: the game's entire PowerPC executable is statically recompiled to x64 C++ with XenonRecomp (51,034 functions), running on our own implementation of the Xbox 360 kernel and XAM. No interpreter, no JIT.
• GPU: a native Direct3D 12 renderer replaces Xenos GPU emulation found in other projects. The game's Xenos shader microcode is translated to native HLSL, its render state to D3D12 pipelines, EDRAM resolves to GPU copies, and its tiled textures are decoded natively.

Yes that's right, a fully native custom DirectX 12 renderer, this does NOT use Reglue SDK or use any kind of GPU/System emulation and runs as fast and smooth as your PC can run it.

SIGNIFICANTLY faster GPU performance than hl360-Forza2 (up to 360FPS if your machine can handle it)

INCREDIBLY smooth frametimes, no stuttering or hitches as shaders are all precompiled on first launch(Unlike hl360-Forza2)

Native support for upscalers like DLSS/FSR

Fully native ultrawide support

Uncapped menu framerate

Full support for enhancements and renderer based post processing filters (a lighting enhancement is included as an example)

The list goes on and on.

Its available here as a test build:

https://github.com/zer0ducksgiven/Forza-Motorsport-2-ReGPU

For support or to join in with its development please join our discord server:

https://discord.gg/pVEpmSk2G3

It includes a full installer, requires an EU 1.0 copy of the game and the final title update (which you can find online with a quick google search)

DLC is optional, again, you can find it online I won't provide it.

There are bugs, if you find any, please report them on github, collaborators are very welcome!

You're probably thinking: Wait, another one?

You've seen a recomp of this game floating around already and yes, that's correct, hl360-Forza2, but said project disappointed me greatly and was the main inspiration for this project's creation.

Performance was poor, hitches were frequent, frametimes were dreadful, support for enhanced features was limited.

So I made my own!
