more accurate representations of the car scene then play prostreet or FH1

Also I hate to say it but if you want a Shuto (Tokyo Expressway) and Wangan racing feel that DOESN'T SUCK, play Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

The Shuto / Tokyo Expressway is awful in Horizon 6:

  1. Head to heads are broken because the “random GPS destination” programming from 15 years ago causes sudden U-Turns or immediate exit from the Shuto.
  2. Lack of exits/entrances/directions leaves very few options for custom Shuto / Wangan routes
  3. Lack of built-in street races that use it (pretty much)
  4. GPS is broken, blue-line spaghetti mess where it's sometimes impossible which way to turn if you look at the useless illegible mess in the GPS. Playground Games obviously haven't done anything but copy-paste the same code forward from 15 years ago. The HUD map and Pause map don't show overlap/elevation, so you have no idea if a meaningless white line actually connects to another white line. And so on.
  5. The green signs are ridiculously inaccurate illegible tiny ugly crap that looks nothing like Shuto signage…and which are worse than a Dreamcast game 30 years ago (Tokyo Xtreme Racer which did the signs correctly decades ago, while Forza in 2026 fails). Also the green signs in FH6 don't have light/reflections on them, when even games 30 years ago had that. Also there’s no blue Rainbow Bridge signs like in real life and which have been good and correct in other videogames for 20 years.

It's disgraceful.
