Donut Media is having a series of Forza Horizon
During the past seven years, Donut Media has evolved into a veritable force of automotive culture. They have over six million YouTube subscribers, building word chains drifted arrive dirt, and some of the coolest hosts you’ll ever see – no wonder they’re now one of the biggest names in the car world. But now, they are rising to a rank that was once reserved for Top gear – their own series in a game Forza Horizon.
An official stream earlier this month laid out plans for the next Forza Horizon 5 content pack, which fans have called the Donut Media Update. It features the usual list of new automotive and technical upgrades (including, surprisingly, Lynk & Co Cyan Racing 03), but my Donutbrings something new to the party: James Pumphrey, Nolan Sykes and Kei Miura.
Pumphrey and Sykes are two of the longest-running Donut hosts, whose approach to YouTube car content has helped shape the brand. They will appear as in-game avatars for the creatively titled Donut Media @ Horizon story, in which players will follow Money Hole Season 2 formula on one of the three starter cars to slowly build it for use in races – all tested and tuned, of course, on the new Donut Vehicle Test Track. In one ad read on a recent videothe two even hinted at more plans to collaborate with Forza – including an appearance by fellow host Zach Jobe.
But one important name isn’t among the ranks of Donut’s video hosts: Kei Miura, creator of Rocket Bunny body kits. Fans of Forza the series will remember these wide-body kits from previous games, but may have noticed their conspicuous absence from Horizon 5. With the Donut update, all that changes: Rocket Bunny is back, with 21 body kits available across 20 different cars.

The upcoming Donut Media Update will bring a wealth of new content into Forza Horizon 5. The new story ought to appeal to us Donut fans, and the long-awaited reintroduction of Rocket Bunny will be a massive boon to Forza drifters — and maybe turn a few of them into Donut viewers along the way.
