Forza Horizon 5 Map - Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels Park, Forza Horizon 5 Map

Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels Map. An interactive map of the fictional terrains that were added to Forza Horizon 5 it the Hot Wheels DLC. It shows the locations of collectibles and various activities such as XP Boards, Tank Balloons, Landmarks, Speed Racing Events, Hazard Racing Events, Danger Signs, Speed Zones, Speed Traps, Drift Zones and more.

Where / how to get off the tracks?

Getting off the tracks onto the ground is necessary to reach most of the XP boards or tank balloons. Most of the tracks have barriers preventing you from leaving them, but in the places marked on the ingame map as orange sections with a white dashed line in the middle the tracks run on the ground and barriers are not there so it is possible to get off the tracks there. There are some other places on the tracks where there are also no barriers but they are located above the ground and it is necessary to jump down and land properly on the ground below. They are not marked on the map.

Landmarks / Areas

If you want to find and visit all the areas / landmarks available in Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels, here is a list of all of them. Note: The "dragon landmarks" or festival site don't have markers on the map and that seems to be intentional but two other markers: The Knot Rock and The Supersonic Spiral don't have map markers either and it seems to be a bug (at least for me :-) It's just a map display bug because I was able to find all 28/28.

Cloud Forest
Dragon's Fall
Forest Falls
