Forza Horizon 5 has placed the 2022 Ford Focus ST at the center of this week’s Festival Playlist. Players can claim the hot hatch at 20 Spring Points, with the current reward run continuing through July 23.
The Focus ST brings a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine producing 276 bhp, along with larger wheels and sports suspension. Players can also customize it with seven body parts: two front bumpers, a rear wing, two rear bumpers, a side skirt, and a hood.
The wider series reward track includes the 2023 BMW M2 at 80 points and the 2023 Lucid Air at 160 points. The Spring track also offers the 2020 Hyundai I30N at 40 points.
There is a new cosmetic reward in the mix, too. Completing the #BackToSchool photo challenge, which asks players to take a picture outside their car at the steps to the university in Guanajuato, unlocks the Artist Outfit.
The full playlist also sends players through the base game, Hot Wheels, and Rally Adventure events. The official Steam announcement lists the following activities and rewards.
