Forza Horizon 5 has had a relatively bug-free launch, with a smooth single-player experience ready for players to dive into. There are some things developers can't account for after they launch a game, however, including obscure exploits.
Currently, there is an extremely easy way for Forza Horizon 5 players to get unlimited money and Super Wheelspins. Players should take advantage of this exploit as soon as possible if they want to amass a large collection of cars and Credits, before the inevitable patch.
Updated July 3, 2023, by Stephen LaGioia: Playground Games patched out the popular ability to exploit the 1945 Willys MB Jeep to get unlimited money and Super Wheelspins in Forza Horizon 5, as well as the 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS farming exploit. Additionally, the studio has removed the ability to buy cars with reset Car Mastery perks and reduced the cars containing Super Wheelspin Perks.
But while the studio has cracked down somewhat on many Credits/Super Wheelspin glitches and exploits, savvy players have come up with a few other methods to farm for vast quantities of Credits as well as Super Wheelspins by taking advantage of some budget cars, custom Blueprints, and a few in-game settings. In light of new details — and with new content being released — this guide has been refreshed regarding ways to drive up Credits, Skill Points, and Super Wheelspins in Forza Horizon 5.
Farming Skill Points In Forza Horizon 5
The only thing players need to do to keep the money and cars from the Super Wheelspins coming is to accumulate Skill Points. These can be earned while building Skill Chains in any car and used in whichever vehicle players wish.

Downloading a good tune for a good drift car is a great way to quickly farm skill points in Forza Horizon 5. Locate vast offroad areas or drive when raining for easy drifting. Smash into items sideways for extra points (Sideswipe Skill).
- The Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution is a great choice here.
- Players can rack up ten Skill Points total in a single chain (500,000 points), so take advantage of these.
- Set Skill Points towards Car Mastery perks that offer percentage bonuses for performing Skill Points, drifting bonuses, easier skill chains, etc.
- Take advantage of Skill Songs to boost points.
Farming Credits In Forza Horizon 5
There are a number of ways to rake in lots of credits fairly quickly in Forza Horizon 5. While races have been toned down in terms of giving ample Credits, players can still seek out some great user-made custom Blueprints which offer more Credits for less time and effort.
Getting the Most Out Of Custom Blueprints
As is the case with Skill Points, one of the best ways to farm Credits in FH5 (either directly or through Car Mastery perks), is to play custom Blueprints designed for maximum points and quick, easy completions.

One such example is provided by this YouTuber, who provides the code: 743 324 179. The event is called "10 SP in 30 Seconds SP Farm" by Famouscat666.
- This is a quick, easy straightaway across a track that has the player plow through various obstacles.
- "SP Farm" by Ammagedon79, with the code 139 710 733.
- "10SP In 19Sec Perfection" by Dontaobery, with the code 383 347 794
Change Difficulty And In-Game Settings
Players will want to further exploit these custom Blueprints by tweaking a few settings, which make the event easier and smoother. In the difficulty settings, switch steering to 'auto-steering', and make sure shifting is set to 'automatic'. This will allow for the least effort and enable players to run through the events fast and efficiently.
Players can also simply turn the difficulty down in order to complete more events and progress more quickly. However, keep in mind that the number of rewards will be dialed down with the difficulty.
2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Another (more advanced) method to farm Credits is to farm a valuable car through Car Mastery perks from the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Players can buy multiple Jeeps for very cheap (50,000 CR), and use Skill Points to convert these into the much more valuable 2013 Jeep Deberti Wrangler Unlimited. These can in turn be sold at Auctions.
This car has a Super Wheelspin as a perk, as well as an instant credit perk.
50 Skill Points are required to unlock the Jeep Deberti Wrangler.
Other cars with Car Mastery perks that unlock new car models are the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, the 1990 Mazda Savanna RX-7, the 1995 Porsche 911 GT2, and the 1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV. However, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon remains the best option, given its budget price and how few points are needed to unlock the new car.
Farming Super Wheelspins In Forza Horizon 5
The preferable way to load up on Super Wheelspins is to obtain cars with optimal Car Mastery perks (like the aforementioned Jeep Wrangler Rubicon). Ideally, players will want to pick cheap cars and/or cars that have one or (especially) two Super Wheelspin perks that don't require many Skill Points to hit. This guide outlines each car in the game with one or two Super Wheelspins and the credits needed to trigger them.
Some great examples of such are:
- Bugatti Divo
- Pontiac Trans Am GTA FE
- Zenvo TSR-S
- Porsche Cayman GTS
- Koenigsegg One
- Peel P50
- Deberti Wrangler.
- Chevrolet Camaro Z28
After the Super Wheelspins have been claimed, players can either remove the cars utilized from their garage, send them as Gift Drops, or try and sell them back at the Auction.
Utilizing Auctions
In addition to just selling at Auctions, players can take advantage of buying cars here, finding valuable cars for cheap, using their Wheelspin perks, and often flipping them for more Credits. A method here is called "auction sniping" in which players jump on cars and buy them for far cheaper than their worth.
Advanced methods for sniping include:
- Be in a simple car such as the Peel P50 to speed up load times.
- Look for the "ending soon" note on the car that's wanted. If the message has just popped up, count down for about a minute and place a bid to maximize the chance of scoring the car.
-
Get set on a valuable car to search for and consistently refresh the Auction House listing.
- By doing this, players can sometimes luck into finding a valuable car listed for cheap, as the seller may not know its true value.
- Check on the website Forzaauctiondata.com which contains traffic and current values for cars in the Forza Horizon 5 Auction House.
Players can exploit a new patch, which actually resets the Car Mastery for cars bought at the Auction. So players can now purchase the best Super Wheelspin cars over and over at Auctions without worrying about the Car Mastery perks being used up.
This applies to attempting to sell cars with used Car Mastery perks at the Auction. If the car goes unsold, it'll be returned with the Car Mastery perks reset, allowing players to get the Super Wheelspin again.
As of this republish (6/23), the above feature has apparently been patched, so gamers can no longer take advantage of buying multiple cars with clear Car Mastery perks. Still, players can seek out cars in the Auction in which the perks haven't been used, or buy the cars with Super Wheelspins in-game (Autoshow).
VIP Pass
One optimal way to get the most out of Credits and Super Wheelspins is to invest in the VIP Membership, which grants exclusive rewards and perks. These include:
- Three exclusive Forza Edition cars
- A free player house
- Twice the Credits for completing races
- Weekly bonus Super Wheelspins
Forza Horizon 5 is out now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
