Looking back to 2015 and the promotional tie-in Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious

Ridiculously fast cars, massive explosions, and badass characters; these three things are synonymous with the Fast & Furious film franchise.

If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the 80s and 90s, then blockbuster action movies were almost like a religious process. I, for one, spent an exorbitant amount of time watching legendary flicks like Die Hard and Predator again and again.
