Cant use my own Cars in Races?
Hey there
Like I asked in the Title, why cant I use my own Cars in Races? I always have to "lend" some Cars or get random ones I dont own.
Whys that?

i vary rarely need a rental. only for very specific events that only allow 1 or two cars.

Each event tells you what cars are required for the event. So be sure to look for that near the bottom of the card. It will say what car class, and type. Sometmes it will list a specific car as a requirement.

Did you maybe get invited to an event? If you happen to be invited to a normal race by a friend you cant select your own cars if they are in a different category (example: Track Toys, Hyper Cars, Pickups, Super Saloons etc.)
also different performance Class might not let you choose...

if thats the case for you the solution would be:
create a blueprint and set "Anything goes" for the vehicle class then you should be fine

Its done on purpose. FH5 has many gameplay mechanics like this to infuriate players instead entertaining em. Get used to it.

Cool troll post 2/10.

I've never had to loan a car, but I tend to read the restrictions beforehand. That might help determine if you have a fitting vehicle or need to buy one.

Were you trying to play the playlist events? If yes, there are some car requirement for each event, which consist of a car category and class. If you have a car that meet the requirements it will be eligible to that event.

Even if you have a car fitting the description, you may have tuned it higher. Or maybe it's below the allowed PI. In either case, the car won't even show up for you when you start the event.

To avoid this, always check the event requirement before starting an event, pick a car from the eligible category and make sure that it's tuned to required level.

Thank you everyone for the Answers, appreciate it.
It seems that the Problem is because I've tuned all my Cars probably way to high for the Races I started.
I better check the requirements from now on.

Glad you figured it out.

I encourage people to keep cars in most classes, if not all. (But not X, you really only need one of those for free roam memes)

So a healthy assortment of cars in each tier makes things very easy when the races come up. I keep some dirt cars, and street cars in each tier. I don't want to remember to downgrade or upgrade something. I already have something that works in my collection. (most of the time)

Yeah, I pretty much tuned all of my Cars beyond their "normal" Class, so I guess I gotta go back to normal on some of them.

I've done that before. What I did was looked at which ones I felt didn't do as well as others after they were upgraded. Then I downgraded those. And often enough, they were better back in a lower class.

it's great because it helps give the cars value. And honestly the experience in different classes varies a lot.

troll post???? wtf you talking about? now tell me that what i said isnt true. Or did you start playing the game yesterday?. The fact that you need to chose a specific class car AND variety makes things way worst. It wasnt this way in FH4, and people didnt have any complains about it.

They made it way worst in Fh5. Its not about reading the descriptions, its about keep limiting things in this game instead giving us freedom to race how we want and where we want.

Forza games/races have had class/car restrictions since the beginning of the franchise, lol. Including all the Horizon games. You're known for trolling at this point.

WRONG. For example, go to any pr stunt and try to do it with the car you want. That same principle applies to any event race they put on the playlist. In FH4 you could chose whatever car ou wanted for the pr stunts and the events, as long as it was within the class range. BUT THATS ABOUT IT.

I cant believe i unblocked you to read this nonsense, again, but not again. Im trolling, sure, how can i be trolling about a game that is completely broken and bad as it gets and even a blind mosquito could see it? lol, i hope you realize that doesnt make any sense. But fanboys will be always fanboys. Go back to your white palace, please. I cant believe people even bother to read anything coming from you at this point lol.

You can use whatever you want in almost all races. Only the few weekly events have restrictions (and tour) and I'm glad about it. Makes me try out cars and classes that I wouldn't normally. I even would like to see restrictions in multiplayer, that would add more variation.
