Darius Flynt: The Ultimate Horizon Champion

Alright, so you're looking to take on the big leagues, huh? That's awesome! You're going to run into some serious competition, and the top dog you'll eventually face is Darius Flynt. He's the main antagonist in Forza Horizon, and trust me, he's earned his reputation.

Darius is the ultimate Horizon champion, having snagged the title three times between 2009 and 2011. He's basically an international brand now. You'll recognize him by his collared shirt, brown belt, blue pants, and sunglasses. His ride for the Star Showdown? The beastly 2010 Ferrari 599XX. Keep that in mind!

He even gets a shout-out in Forza Horizon 5 from Scott Tyler, so his legacy is pretty solid.

What Darius Might Say to You

He's got a lot to say, and he's not shy about it. Here are a few gems:

• " _Okay, kid, you've had your fifteen minutes of fame. All eyes are now back on the real celebrity._"
• " _Afraid to say, im gonna have to win this race damn quick, yeah, no I have another promo to shoot later on._"
• " _I can’t tell you how much I enjoy humiliating upstarts like yourself._"
• " _You hear that crowd? They’re all here to see me race, yeah, so how about you try to be a little competitive, you know before you flunk out? It’s good for my image._"
• " _You got a lot of weight resting on those inexperienced shoulders, sure you won't crack? Pressure's really on now, and one slip, just one, and I'll have you. This is where your fairy tale ends, with a bump. This is mine to lose, not yours to win. You think I'm just gonna hand you my title? Think again._"
• " _Damn, I just hate it when I destroy the dreams of all the young upstarts entering this competition, someone should tell you to stick to indie kart or something._"
• " _I tell you what rookie. You come in say, fifth or sixth, and there’s a free case of Darius Flynt cologne in it for ya. Yeah, thank me later._"

That last one's a joke, by the way. Don't actually expect any cologne!

When You Beat Him

Even Darius has to admit defeat sometimes. When you finally take him down, he might say:

• " _Okay, you got lucky, even an average driver gets lucky once in a while, but lightning don’t strike twice._"
• " _I um…I…suppose this is uh…yours now. My sponsors gonna be furious._"

A Little Trivia

• There was a slight mix-up in Forza Horizon 5 where he was called the "2012 Horizon Champion." He actually won in 2011, so just a small detail to remember.

Heads up: Darius Flynt is a big deal, and he's not going to make it easy for you. He's all about his image and loves to humiliate newcomers. When he says things like, "This is mine to lose, not yours to win," he means it. The pressure is on, and he's looking for any slip-up. Stay focused, and don't let his taunts get to you!
