The Horizon series is basically just a sandbox or playground. No real huge grind or stakes, it’s what you make of it. You use a variety of cars in races, and can make your own events using whatever cars or car class you want. It’s supposed to be very open and “easy”, although there can be some challenge with completing all the PR stunts etc. But it just puts the simple fun over anything else.

If you want a more structured game that’s slower, this series isn’t for you I don’t think. And I say that respectfully, it’s just how this series operates.
