** Depending on the Damage & Tire Wear setting, the Warthog will either not take any damage at all, take only cosmetic damage, or risk having its mechanical parts take damage, which results in the vehicle's condition being downgraded.

** Automatic shifting allows the player to view their minimap with the View button. With Manual shifting, the player must press X to shift down and B to shift up. The Manual w/ Clutch setting has the added requirement of pressing the clutch, left bumper (LB) by default, either at the same time as or immediately before pressing X or B; this works best with a properly set up and calibrated steering wheel controller.

* As with every other race event in the ''Forza Horizon'' series, when played in Co-Op, the first player to finish starts a 30 second countdown as a warning to the remaining players to finish the event as quickly as possible or risk getting a DNF.

For this Showcase Event, you will be driving the M12S Warthog CST and following a [[D79-TC Pelican]] to a landing zone. As soon as the Showcase Event starts, you will immediately be driving and following the Pelican, which is chased by [[Type-54 Banshee|Banshees]]. Unlike in ''Halo'', the Banshees never attack. Checkpoint 1 is {{convert|480|ft|m|sigfig=3}} ahead. Make a right and immediately turn back to the left, but make sure to watch out for [[Covenant]] scenery props ([[Covenant supply case|supply cases]] and [[Covenant portable shield|stationary shield generators]]), as well as the race barriers. Unlike the race barriers used in other events, these race barriers are actually indestructible solid objects and made out of [[hard light]]. Checkpoint 2 is immediately ahead. Feel free to take in the beautiful scenery (including the [[Halo Array|Halo ring]] in the background), but focus on reaching the checkpoint up ahead, which leads to a ramp that will lead you to Bamburgh Castle. Make sure to have at least {{convert|140|km/h|mph|sp=us}} of speed upon approaching it to clear the gap.

Upon landing, you will notice that the race barriers converge closer together. Follow the path through the archway and out of the Bamburgh Castle. Here, you will notice [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] military scenery props that are indestructible and other normal scenery objects that are destructible. For extra Skill Score, smash the trash cans for "Binman" skills.

Jump the ramp to trigger the last slow-motion cutscene in which two Banshees fly through. At this point, you are actually jumping over the Pelican, but only for a very brief period of time. Once you land, you will get an "Ultimate Air" skill with a trade off of a loss of speed, which should be more than enough for you to avoid immediately crashing into the hard light barriers in front of you. Note that the Pelican can be touched, like with the hovercraft in ''The Behemoth Showcase'', so try not to touch it or you will lose too much speed. Continue following the path until you reach a small valley of rocks that leads to the beach south of Elmsdon-on-Sea.

Steer to the left to reach Checkpoint 16, and immediately use full throttle to reach the finish line, which is at the landing zone just ahead. There are three pairs of checkpoint flares just ahead, but the last one is where the finish line actually is. Drive through the finish line to finish the event.
