Redeem Wheelspins

As you play Forza Horizon 5 you will earn Wheelspins and Super Wheelspins. These can be redeemed in the main menu, and absolutely should be used as soon as you get them. Not only will they grant you heaps of CR currency, items and cosmetics, they also contain cars. Some cars can only be found via Wheelspins or by Auction House, so make sure to make the most of the rewards.

Break Early

Cornering is one of the most challenging aspects of racing, and should be treated with patience and care. Try breaking early for corners, turning into them before hammering on the throttle once your car had lined up with the next stretch of road. It is always better to take corners too slow than too fast. Races are won and lost by how well players keep their cars gripped to the road and make use of careful cornering.
