How to win the Buggy and the Beast Showcase in Forza Horizon 5

There are many exciting things to do in Forza Horizon 5, and one of those is the Buggy and the Beast Showcase event. To be able to play it, you need to complete the Horizon Baja expedition. When you unlock this event, be prepared for buggy and monster truck adventures (hence the name of the event, as the beast refers to the trucks). If you're ready, head to the La Gran Caldera to participate.

How to get first in the Buggy and the Beast Showcase in FH5

To win the Buggy and the Beast Showcase in FH5, you need to learn how to drive a buggy well, specifically Ford #25 "Brocky" Ultra4 Bronco race truck. This is important in the first part of the event when your opponents are two Hot Wheels Bone Shaker monster trucks. So, how do you defeat those beasts when they're constantly hitting you? To finish the race first, you'll need to strategize a little.

• Don't come too close to the monster trucks.
• Let them lead most of the race, and keep a distance so they can't hit you.
• Drive carefully and don't try to take over the race until the very end.
• Be aggressive near the finish line and position the buggy between them.
• If your timing is right, you'll have just enough time to pass the finish line before they hit you.

After you finish the race, you'll have a chance to drive that same monster truck that gave you so many problems. That's the second part of The Buggy and the Beast Showcase, where you'll have three minutes to complete Optional Accolades.
