Each rank increases the difficulty of the challenge, so while things might start off easy, the tension between wins and races in the later missions will be higher. But, before you begin tackling those tougher missions, you will need an overview of the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels Academy ranks so you can know how many medals you need to reach each new one.
