It doesn't take too long, but it will still run you about 30 minutes into the game if you play constantly. Basically, once the logo pops up on screen and says "Welcome to Horizon" after you have been introduced to everyone and done some races, that's when you can get to play with your pals!

You can do different things online, such as starting a convoy, racing rivals, and racing all your friends, so it's a good feeling when that functionality finally opens up to you!
