One of the many highlights at the Xbox and Bethesda E3 2021 Showcase was the reveal of Forza Horizon 5 - confirming the virtual automotive festival's next location is Mexico.
While there are all-round improvements, one of the highlights for fans of street car culture is the inclusion of Street Hunter's C8 Corvette. Street Hunter is a car brand that YouTuber, influencer and car enthusiast TJ Hunt started a few years ago.
If you're not familiar with this individual, he's become synonymous with street car culture around the world over the past decade - working out his family garage on a Subaru BRZ and eventually forming his own company Hunt & Co.
In his latest video, he's gone into a bit of detail about how he was contacted by the Forza developers over a year ago about incorporating his brand (including cars and kits) into the game. He also reacted to his car in the official reveal trailer:
TJ has never hidden the fact he's a huge fan of Forza Horizon and it's a smart move on Playground Games' end considering he's got a YouTube audience of nearly 2 million subscribers. You can see his car (the red one) in the official reveal trailer around the 1:20 minute mark and the scene lasts for around 10 seconds.

Yeah Forza is truly a car enthusiast's paradise, you really get to drive a bit of everything and there is usually enough to where you can make real versions of cars you might own. It makes it pretty special to feel like you are driving your actual car in one of these games.
Clever marketing by the developers.
In horizon 4 I made a replica of my mk2 focus rs. I recently sold it for a mk7.5 golf r and hope my new car is in the new game. Its fun making your actual car in game! Guy must be buzzing!
