What is the Event Lab in Forza Horizon 5?

Forza Horizon 5’s Event Lab replaces the series’ ‘Blueprint’ mode, and allows players to design their own mini-games and races within the title.

Fans can let their creativity run wild: you can craft courses with obstacles (including bowling pins and beach balls), ramps and precariously sharp turns, or you can force everyone to use the same car – the power is in your hands.

You can’t, however, craft tracks in some of the title’s most iconic locations, such as the spectacular Gran Caldera Volcano, and you also can’t bulldoze the crowd by building your track in the middle of the stands.
