Still fun but uninspired. The map feels a lot like the base game's map but with an even greater emphasis on Rally (duh) and tight turns. As such, it's disappointing they didn't just connect it to the base game's map rather than make it a separate map. I always enjoy my time with the Forza Horizon DLCs but they also often have me wishing I was just playing the base game instead.

It was a lot of fun exploring the best map in a Forza Horizon, and the little things like off-cambered turns, road bumps, and surface changes all add up to make the driving feel different. The rally-lite mode is a fun novelty, and the game and map look gorgeous as ever. Not a barn-burner by any means, but absolutely worth tearing through each race at least once.
