Major Franchise Update - March 2025

Hello all,

Time for a long-overdue update on the current state of play for Forza Speedrunning. We are currently conducting a major overhaul franchise-wide, with a few key changes to be made going forward:

One Central Team

We have come together as a Forza Speedrunning team, rather than operating as independent entries in the franchises. You may see a lot of changes in terms of Moderators and Super Moderators in the near future as myself and scoagogo are reorganising the Horizon and Motorsport franchises.

Further Board Updates

Boards are in various states currently, with some missing key categories and runs, and others having differing approaches to run records, timings, etc. This will all be brought in line with eachother, so runners can have a consistent experience all the way from FH1, to FM2023.

A Stronger Community

We've also taken to overhauling and cleaning up the Discord server, with better and improved spaces to discuss runs, share strats, and check out some of the wider community too: https://www.discord.gg/d5dSHdC

We have plenty of plans to grow in 2025, and after a silent period it's time to kick into high gear and get Forza Speedrunning back on the map. Happy Running!

Sappy and the Forza Speedrunning Team

Hello all Forza Runners!

As some of you may have noticed, you are being pinged for new world records of old runs. Currently, the leaderboard is being reworked for the modern state of variables on SRC. The current board is very clunky, which forces users to scroll through pages of categories to view the desired results.

Current Changes in Progress

All current categories are going to be combined into three distinct categories: Britain, Fortune Island, and Lego. These categories will be broken down further into subcategories that will represent the old board categories.

Fast Travel and No Fast Travel will remain present for these categories, but all opinions are welcome on the changes.

In the Works

Complete rule rewrite, clearing up possible confusion for the full game categories. Will be complete will full markdown formatting. Fortune Island and Lego ILs will be added as well, and, we are fully open to new possible categories that may fall under the Misc. tab (such as All Isha's Taxi Races), and will be added according to demand.

Loadless timing is currently being tested for shorter categories, such as all drag races. The results of this test will be posted in the forums, and a possible timing change will result from the findings.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact myself ( @VyPr ) or @Veyron4472

Hello!

As you may know, Forza Horizon 4 has a new set of moderators, and we are happy to help make speedrunning in FH4 as enjoyable as possible.

We are proud to announce the new IL leaderboards! Similar to FH5, these boards are of specific tracks in Britain. We are accepting runs of all classes, from D to X. VyPr has already submitted some runs, so go check them out.

We hope you have a fun time setting new best times on these boards.

Happy running!
