More info to come soon.
Hopefully the hundreds of cars will include Rally right out of the box. I am also looking forward to a better map, while I felt FH's map was a good size I'd like some more details, a bigger and more downtown style city like Carson was and especially being able to go offroading in some areas other than just the golf course. Also personally I quite liked the 1000 Club idea and hope to see that return maybe as a signature Horizon feature.
