How to smash paint barrels in Forza Horizon 5

Throughout each Series, the Forza Horizon 5 development team traditionally adds new and unique items that have to be crushed. These items have ranged from static items like solar panels to Series-themed items like tanks and dinosaur piñatas. For Series 6, a new kind of item has been added to the Horizon Festival in Mexico: paint barrels. And, you won’t need to go scurrying around for a custom race in order to find and break these items.

So, how can you smash paint barrels in Forza Horizon 5? Let’s take a look.

For this challenge, you won’t need to find a created race in EventLab in order to find and crush the paint barrels. Instead, you’ll want to head back to where it all started in Forza Horizon 5: the Horizon Mexico Festival site.
