We’ve compiled a list of the best FH5 cars in each class, the overall best cars list as suggested by the legend Don Joewon Song. But here, we will take a look at the best cars in Forza Horizon 5 for each race type so that you can ace different races and show off your driving skills. Since every race type has a different terrain/requirement related to turns, offroad stat and speed, this list should help you get started with which cars you need to focus on.

The car mentioned in the heading is, as per our experience, the best of the lot, but the others are not very far behind.
