Trickiest Fast Travel Boards:

Updated December 31, 2023

Forza Horizon 5 XP Boards or XP Bonus Boards count as collectibles and allow you to level up faster while playing the video game developed by Playground Games. During your driving adventure in Mexico, you’ll need to find a total of 200 FH5 XP Boards, and the guide below reveals all their locations.

Before moving to the actual guide, there are a couple of things you should know, and hopefully, these tips will help you smash all Forza Horizon 5 XP Bonus Boards faster.

Forza Horizon 5 XP Boards Treasure Map

First, it’s worth mentioning several aspects regarding the Forza Horizon 5 XP Boards Map below. Although this is not the official map nor an interactive FH5 Map, it shows the locations of all XP Bonus Boards in the video game. As you can see, you have a lot of work to do. To zoom in, simply tap on the map or use two fingers if you are on mobile.

Furthermore, you can save it on your mobile and access it whenever you hunt for these collectibles. Remember that this map shows only the XP Boards in Forza Horizon 5 and does not include the Fast Travel Boards, the 14 Barn Finds, or the XP Bonus Boards in the Hot Wheels DLC.

Forza Horizon 5 XP Boards Treasure Map Locations Guide

Where To Find All 200 FH5 XP Bonus Boards

Similar to the previous games, Forza Horizon 5 XP Boards are divided into three categories: 

  • 1000 XP Boards – Easiest to find, usually by the main roads
  • 3000 XP Boards – Found in places that are easy to miss
  • 5000 XP Boards – Located in spots that are hard to reach

While the first two types of boards are relatively easy to smash, the last category is quite tricky. As such, while traveling from one location to another using the map above, if you can’t find a board, check the tables below because they provide additional tips. However, check the corresponding guides for the Forza Horizon 5 5000 XP Boards because these boards require specific cars, and you can only smash them by performing a particular stunt.

Finally, since the Bonus XP Boards are scattered around the world in regions with different types of terrain, you may want to use a fast and powerful car to climb hills, cross rivers, and help you move around at high speed. A good choice here is the Lamborghini Urus.

Last but not least, you can approach these Forza Horizon 5 collectibles the moment you reach Mexico and unlock the first set of races.  If this is the first Forza Horizon game you play, to collect an XP Bonus Board, all you need to do is get close to it and smash it.
