Top Gear Magazine\u2019s Ollie Kew walked viewers through a review of the Zenvo TSR-S supercar on January 7, with its wicked waggling wing. The TV show, which has been a part of crossovers with Microsoft\u2019s top car series in the past, appears to have rekindled the connection between the two \u2013 as a fan has seemingly unearthed a gem. Forza Horizon 5 easter egg found in Top Gear During the video, there is a close-up frame of the vehicle that appears just seconds into the shoot, featuring an intriguing background noise. The sound is strikingly similar to Horizon 5\u2019s and you can even hear crowd noises, as well as checkpoints being ticked off if you listen in close. A casual Forza fan might skip over the reference, but that\u2019s what the hardcore drivers are here for. (Segment starts at 0:10 in the video below) Who found it? The easter egg, of course, was found by Reddit user VerticalStrafes on January 9. They said: \u201cTop Gear used the audio from Forza for this Zenvo video LOL. You can straight up hear the checkpoints and crowd noises during the clip. They\u2019re not the only ones to have spotted the casual reference to the series, either, as a number of YouTube comments appeared to make the same connection. One YouTube user said: \u201cThe audio is so realistic there\u2019s no way it could be from a game, such as Forza. Not like I can\u2019t hear the crowd cheering!\u201d Another added: \u201cI could recognize that backfire sound immediately.\u201d One user said: \u201cThe crowds and checkpoints are also easily recognized.\u201d The audio is similar, if not identical, to that of Forza Horizon 5 \u2013 and fans are loving this hidden easter egg. Next time you reach a checkpoint or finish a race, be sure to listen in and you\u2019ll see what people are talking about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forza Horizon 5 players discover cheeky easter egg in Top Gear Top Gear YouTube \/ ForzaAn elephant-eared Forza Horizon 5 player has discovered a strange easter egg in Top Gear, referencing Playground Games\u2019 series in the most subtle way possible.
