Festival Playlist 

The Horizon Road Trip Festival Playlist is inspired by the variety of racing activities available throughout Mexico’s vast landscape.  

Every week from September 15 through October 13, the seasonal activities will be themed around a specific type of race event: 

• Summer: Road Racing 

• Autumn: Cross Country 

• Winter: Street Racing 

• Spring: Dirt Racing 

In addition, each week there will be one Seasonal Championship featuring five racing events rather than the usual three, as well as another featuring a single Goliath-type route that’s appropriate to the weekly racing theme. 

2008 Aston Martin DBS 

Earn 20 PTS during the Summer “Wet” Season on the Horizon Road Trip Festival Playlist from March 26 - April 2. 

Whether you are working as a secret agent or just looking for a car to set unbeatable times in, the 2008 Aston Martin DBS is your best sidekick to accomplish both of those goals. 

510 horsepower and a license to speed, the Aston Martin DBS’s V12 engine can take it from 0 – 100 kmh in 4.3 seconds. Enough to foil any lurking evil plan that requires high-speed chasing. 

The looks of a gentleman and the power to snake through opponents all in one charismatic package. A ride on the DBS will have you calling it Sir as you sprint through the Horizon Festival in this piece of car royalty. 

2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

Earn 20 PTS during the Autumn “Storm” Season on the Horizon Road Trip Festival Playlist from April 2 – April 9. 

Imagine a mid-size sport utility vehicle transformed into an off-roader primed for globe-trotting expeditions. That’s what Toyota built with its 4Runner TRD Pro. Rugged, durable and versatile – there's no better choice for when you need to go off the beaten path. Whether you’re hauling gear cross-country or rock-crawling, you’ll always be impressed by the sheer toughness of this rugged body-on-frame SUV. Overcoming unforgiving terrain is rooted in the heritage of the 4Runner series, and the TRD Pro amplifies it to the next level with its oversize TRD-tuned high-performance shocks and rear remote reservoirs – all while keeping itself protected with a quarter-inch thick aluminium skid plate and distinctive looks that ensure you crawl through rocks, dirt and mud in style. 

2021 Audi RS 7 Sportback 

Earn 20 PTS during the Winter “Hot” Season on the Horizon Road Trip Festival Playlist from April 9 – April 16. 

First unveiled to the world at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2021 Audi RS 7 Sportback is a car built without compromise. Aesthetically wild yet defining with its stylish, glacier white design lines and sporty looks, the RS 7 Sportback incorporates characteristic RS wide body design with broad flared wheel arches front and rear, a continuous LED light strip and the wide frameless Audi Singleframe – all certain to grab the attention of any passerby. With performance figures to match its refined looks, the RS 7 Sportback outputs 600 horsepower at 6250 rpm and produces 590 lb⋅ft of torque at 2050 rpm through its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 32-valve V8 engine and 48V mild-hybrid system. When combined, this premium class coupé is capable of 0-62mph speeds in just 3.6 seconds with a top speed of almost 190mph. With agility at the forefront of its driving experience thanks to dynamic all-wheel steering, the RS 7 Sportback ensures that every moment on the road counts with outstanding performance at every turn.  

1982 Lancia 037 Stradale 

Earn 20 PTS during the Spring “Dry” Season on the Horizon Road Trip Festival Playlist from April 16 – April 23 

When is a road car not (exactly) a road car? When it is a homologation variant of something as wild as a Group B rally car. As its name implies, the 037 Stradale is road-legal (stradale meaning “road” in Italian), sure, but under all of the road-approved gear like headlights, turn signals, and reflectors is the same spaceframe, Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass, and competition-bred engine as the Group B car. Of course, the Stradale versions couldn’t be as wild as their racing twins, with additional weight and an engine tune that wouldn’t require a tear-down every few races. Located amidships in a longitudinal placement is Lancia’s competition-tested 2-liter four-cylinder motor, supplemented with a supercharger provided by Abarth that adds extra power without the lag of turbochargers. As the last of the rear-wheel drive rally cars to see success in WRC, the 037 does have the advantage of lighter weight and less complexity than the early all-wheel drive competition, which helped propel the Group B 037 to a manufacturer’s championship in 1983. With a minimum construction of 200 cars to comply with racing rules, the 037 Stradale is exceedingly rare.
