Drift Club is expanding to Mexico! Welshman Robert Glenn, a kindred spirit of drifters who share a real love for controlled oversteer, has flown over from Horizon’s Britain, bringing with him a new set of challenges that celebrates the engineering and technical delight of going sideways.
Players who have built the Horizon Rush Outpost will be able to start playing Drift Club Mexico immediately, taking you behind the wheel of seven of the world’s coolest drift cars – each tuned and tweaked to celebrate the past, present and future of drifting.
There are also new Drift Club themed clothing items available to unlock and playing this Horizon Story will contribute to your Festival Playlist completion in Series 6 (you will need to achieve all 18 stars from Story to earn the 3 Festival Playlist points from the event).
Additionally, by completing all six chapters, the all-electric 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400 will be added to your garage, and you’ll learn some fun insights on just how revolutionary this car is courtesy of Formula Drift champion and RTR Vehicles founder Vaughn Gittin Jr. Players can also seamlessly swap between RWD and AWD at any time when driving it in Forza Horizon 5.
Here are the chapters and drift point requirements for 1-star completion or 3-stars.

We really need to be able to create drift races in the eventlab. If we could create drift races in the lab that would really open up a ton of content for those of us that love drifting.
I wonder how they will handle the difficulty in FH5? I am generally pretty bad at drifting but found 5 drifting much much easier than 4. Incidentally I started playing the 4 playlist again for posterity and one of the challenges was a drift zone. It reminded my how much harder drifting was on 4!
That’s very true. I remember how surprised I was couple of months ago when I 3-starred one of drift zones in a AWD Ford Capri, tuned for racing, in auto, while waiting for the Trial to start. Such thing would NEVER happen in FH4.
The story is on the playlist next series. How many times have we seen issues where you can’t complete something on the playlist if you’ve already done it? Even if it does auto-complete, will the Accolade complete as well? I’m not going to chance it until the new series arrives.
I like drifting. I consider it part of my training haha. I always thought it was ehhh outside of pure arcade games like Ridge/Rage/Rave Racer till I gave it a go and my overall driving improved in terms of steering the car with power and letting the wheels straighen themselves etc. (Minimising the amount of inputs I make to hold as much momentum as possible whilst narrowing the corner angle to spend as lile time turning the wheel basically) I started with 1 gear tunes and now enjoy ripping through those gears.
I am hoping that the cars used in this story are Formula Drift cars.
Because all of the “drift tuned” cars used in Drift Club (FH4) and Upgrade Hero were badly tuned and not fun drifting cars.
All Formula Drift cars have good drift-oriented handling and plenty of traction, I hope it is this way like Fortune Island Drift Club.
Delivered in today’s (29/03/22) patch update. Not sure what time that goes live though. As usual i suspect this will impact on online play
Note of caution though - please read the post above by Scimmia221. It may be prudent to wait until the Festival Playlist drops on Thursday as it may be buggy, or risk it
If it is actually available to play Wednesday, I’d still wait until the start of Series 6 to play as there are likely some Drift Story related playlist challenges.
Just completed the story but left 2 chapters with 2 stars short of 3 starring everything so can replay tomorrow for playlist, Got the Mach-E Happy? mmmm, No spoilers from me
Just don’t know if the Monthly Story is to earn the 18th star in the Drift Story or to earn all 18. If it’s the the latter and you replay all of the chapters, will it be bugged and not count re-earning already earned stars. I prefer to play it safe and just wait until Series 6 begins. It’s just one more day. I can wait that long, I think.
