Competition Format

1. Launch Forza Horizon 5 and enter the Rivals event for Playa Azul Circuit.
2. Select one of the approved Bentley vehicles listed above.
3. Use the default track configuration and default environmental settings (time of day, weather, and route layout).
4. Starting position must be the standard start line used in Rivals mode (standing start).
5. Within Rivals, make sure you have the necessary HUD elements enabled (Lap Time and Position, Ghosts). This will show that you are in Rivals mode as required.
6. Complete one continuous lap from the start of the lap to the end without rewinding or making any contact with the wall at any point.
7. Any Upgrades to the car, as well as tuning through the in-game tuning menu, are allowed for this event.
8. Assists (traction control, stability, ABS, etc.) may be used or disabled at player discretion unless otherwise restricted (TBD).
9. The fastest clean lap (no wall contact, rewinds, or off-track penalties) recorded by the in-game system will be used for submission.

How to Submit

• Record the entire lap attempt, showing:
  • Car selection and tuning screen.
  • Event setup (screen confirming Playa Azul Circuit and Rivals mode).
  • The full lap from standing start to finish line, including the on-screen lap time and “Clean Lap” indicator.
  • Your submission must record the entire lap in full, from the run-up to beginning your lap to the moments after you cross the line (so that the lap time is visible within the HUD).
• Upload the recording through the official Twin Galaxies challenge submission button on this page.
• Include your video and final lap time.
• Only entries submitted on the TG challenge page and verified through peer adjudication will appear on the official leaderboard. You are allowed to submit more than once, however only your best valid submission will be counted for the event.

Timing and Validation

• Official timing is the in-game Rivals lap timer displayed at finish.
• Only “Clean Lap” times are valid. “Dirty Lap” results will be disqualified.
• TG adjudication reserves the right to review footage frame-by-frame to confirm validity and rule compliance.

Video Requirements

• The video must clearly show HUD elements, lap time, and Clean/Dirty status.
• Resolution 1080p minimum, frame-rate 30 FPS minimum.
• In-game audio must be fully audible.
• Videos hosted externally (e.g., YouTube) are not acceptable. All footage must be uploaded to TG for consideration.

Prohibitions & Restrictions

• Players should begin at the normal Rivals starting line, complete one continuous lap, and then end the run once the lap time and the “Clean Lap” indicator appear on-screen. Any additional “flying” laps completed after the first one are not valid for entry.*
• No weather or route customization; default circuit only.
• No external mods, trainers, or save-edit tools.
• Only official Bentley Garage vehicles are permitted.
• No rewinds or wall collisions resulting in a “Dirty Lap.”
• Glitch exploitation or AI interference will result in disqualification.

Video submissions that do not satisfy these requirements may be rejected.

*NOTE: Through community consultation it has been determined a standing start is the best lap to measure. Standing starts help ensure efficiency and clarity when recording a lap attempt. Without standing starts, the process for submission becomes slower and more tedious for players, forcing them to exit the event, select a vehicle with tuning displayed, and complete an additional lap before starting their actual timed attempt. By requiring a stationary start, the process becomes faster and more transparent.

• In the event of a tie, if two players submit identical times, the earlier submission will be ranked higher.
• Player may submit multiple times in order to climb the leaderboard. Only the players top verified score will stay on the leaderboard. To submit multiple times, players must earn “submission points” by participating in peer review and “Vote” on submissions of other  participants in the leaderboard.
• Twin Galaxies’ General Gameplay Global Rules apply unless overridden by the specific rules above.
• Twin Galaxies Privacy Policy
• Phone number provided in the submission process will only be used to verify account and derive the country of participant.
• Prizes and prize communication will be sent via messages in the Twin Galaxies platform.
• Prizes will be sent out after all submissions have been adjudicated.
