Playground Games' latest addition to the Forza Horizon series showcases the beauty of Britain. On paper, the UK is a terrible place to drive fast cars. Between all the potholes, speed cameras and congestion, there's seemingly no point in driving anything faster than a child's pedal car around the major cities of Britain. But outside of those epicentres lay many miles of winding lanes, rolling hills and flowing country roads just tailor-made for a two-seater sports car and a heavy right foot on the throttle pedal.

Now in reality, most of us probably don't own a McLaren Senna or Aston Martin Vulcan. And even if we did, attempting to drive it fast down a twisty lane would result in a huge crash and a hefty insurance bill – amongst other things.
