Forza Horizon 3 presents players with an open world expanse that recreates Australia- and it brings together everything that arcade racing games have done over the last two decades, and wraps it up into one neat package. There’s so much to do, so much to unpack, that it can honestly become a bit overwhelming trying to keep track of it all. That’s where we come in with this guide. With this one stop Forza Horizon 3 guide, we will attempt to cover everything for you- from car upgrades to customization, from the fastest car in the game to the various locations (Danger Signs 3, Barn, XP Boards, Bonus Boards, Fast Travel and Beauty Spots), from trying to get unlimited and infinite XP (experience points), credits, money, wheelspins, skill points to leveling up faster, and of course, to getting some of the Achievements, this guide has it all.

Alright? Let’s get started.

Customization and Upgrades

Getting your car is only half the fun- the best part of the car owning experience in an arcade racer like Forza Horizon is decking your ride out, upgrading it, changing how it looks and sounds, and more. Car customization and tuning has been a big part of racing games ever since Need for Speed Underground burst onto the scene over a decade ago, and it continues to be big in Forza Horizon 3.

The two videos below will give you a tutorial of how the customization and upgrade mechanics work in the game, and then walk you through all the upgrades that are available.

Locations Guide:

Forza Horizon 3 is an open world- that means there’s a lot to see and do, and to give you incentive to explore the lovingly crafted rendition of Australia, the developers have littered the maps with all sorts of objectives for you to accomplish.

At first you might just stumble upon a few of these- but chances are, once you do, you’re going to get obsessed with trying to track down all these locations, and all the objectives that are sprayed across the map. To help you scratch that OCD itch, we’ve got full video guides below.

Danger Signs 3 Stars Guide

There’s a whole host of Danger Signs on the map, and you can get 3 stars for tackling them, depending on just how stylish, bold, and outrageously reckless you are. The video below shows you just where all the Danger Signs on the map are, and how to get 3 stars on every one of them.

Barn Locations

There are 15 barns hidden across the map in Forza Horizon 3– and the video below helps you to track down all of them. You even get an Achievement for doing so!

XP Boards

There are over one hundred XP boards hidden all over Forza Horizon 3‘s map- boards that once you break with your car, net you a whole lot of XP (which is always a good thing). The videos below help you find every last one of them.

Bonus Boards

There are also 150 Bonus Boards for you to track down- and doing so nets you an Achievement! The video below helps you find every last one of the 150 Bonus Boards hidden across the game’s map.

Fast Travel

What would an open world be without fast travel? Having the entire expanse of Australia to go through is well and good, but sometimes, you don’t want to drive across the wilderness, and you just want to get from one place to another as soon as possible. That’s where Fast Travel comes in. Fast Travel in Forza Horizon 3 is governed by the discovery of Fast Travel boards- the videos below will help you find all so that there is no part of the map that’s not within immediate reach for you.

Beauty Spots

Beauty Spots are exactly what their name suggests they are- really beautiful spots. You’re going to want to find all of them, mostly because they’re really pretty (and a great showcase for the jaw dropping graphics of the game). You can use the guide below to track down the ones you haven’t found yet.

Fastest Car In Forza Horizon 3 – 456 kmph (286 mph):

So the open world is all well and good, but you know what the real point of a racing game is, right? It’s racing. And you know what you need to do to win a race, right? You need to have the fastest car. And with a top speed of 465 km/h (that is, 286 mi/h), the 1992 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport is the fastest car in Forza Horizon 3. You can check out the videos below for more information on this highly vaunted car.

Unlimited And Infinite Credits, Money, Skill Points, Wheelspins and Experience Points (XP) :

Forza Horizon 3 has a whole lot of currencies and ‘things’ for the player to try and collect. There’s the standard collection of objectives peppered all over the world map, sure, but you get rewarded for everything you do in the game by getting credits or XP- which means having more of them is good, right?

Right. That’s where we come in with these video guides, which will show you how to maximize your XP, credits, and more, in totally legal ways. No unfair exploits from us.
