EventLab is a game-changer for creative players in Forza Horizon 5, and when we say sandbox-it really is a racing sandbox full of mayhem. Players design their own races with ridiculous custom rules and throw them into the community for others to test. If they aren’t feeling too creative, no issues; just dive straight into the best player-made events handpicked by the devs.
So, what exactly is EventLab? Well, think Mario Maker but with cars. You get to customize practically anything-the layout of the track, the time of day, the weather, traffic, and even the physics-if you wanna get real weird. How about setting up a race where everyone drives backward during a thunderstorm? Done. A checkpoint challenge where the only rule is “no brakes”? Yeah, you can do that. The only limitation is your imagination of how much chaos can be created.
The best part is, the community is losing its mind with it already. Playground Games even put up a link to this week’s top player-made events, so if you want some inspiration-or just want to skip straight to the fun-feel free. Some of these custom races are already reaching legendary status, like one where you have to avoid running into hordes of AI cars programmed to be in “aggressive” mode. Absolute madness.
It’s not just a cool little side feature-it’s a whole new way to play Forza Horizon 5. The game is already full of content, and now players will be able to keep it fresh for eternity through their cooking contest of challenges. With Playground Games actively showcasing the best, those will serve as real motivation to start creating.
Ultimately, the true test will be when someone makes a race impossible to finish. And knowing the Forza community, that is probably going to be sometime next week. But hey, that’s the fun part-seeing the ridiculous stuff people come up with.
So if you’re thinking, “Man, I wish this race had more explosions,” or “Why can’t I make a rally course with zero gravity?”-you finally have your chance. Fire up EventLab and go nuts. Or just sit back and let the community do the work for you. Either way, Forza Horizon 5 just got a whole lot wilder.
And if you were wondering where to start, that link in the tweet has this week’s top picks. Some of them are brutal, some are funny, and all of them deserve a check. Just don’t blame us when you lose 3 hours trying to beat someone’s nightmare obstacle course. That’s on you.
Bottom line? EventLab is a game-changer, and that’s the kind of feature that brings players back time and again. Now excuse us for trying to build a race that is 90 percent jumps. What could possibly go wrong?
