SEASON EVENT DETAILS

Toggle the menu to show the rewards and restrictions for each event - if you complete the event in a car outside the restrictions or fail to meet the target, you won’t get the reward and points from completion. You must have unlocked the Hall of Fame with Accolade points to enter the Trial. Access to Rally Adventure events require defeating the three team champions. Access to Hot Wheels events requires the Hot Wheels Expansion DLC; users without the DLC will still be able to gold the season and unlock the “Min, Meet Max” Achievement without these event points.

Spoiler - for the weekly
as soon as you finish chapter 2 the tunnel run, turn around and look behind you and there’s a donkey pinata.
At least that is how I remember it. I don’t see one now, so I could be wrong.

I can confirm that’s how it was last time (from my older video) but I haven’t checked it is still there. It may only appear in season so still a useful tip for completing the challenge


Instead of S1 900 Hoonigan it will be B700 Modern Rally in the first EventLab.

Anything happen to the Crop Circle EventLab? They pulled the Mangrove one from Series 33 Spring, and from the playlist tile, it looks like it will be repeated next week.

Was curious what would happen if they tried to use an EventLab in these repeat playlists if the player had deleted it.

Edit: The weekly car was awarded by the original EventLab the first time around. Guess new people will have to use the Hoarder Eliminator accolade to get the weekly car or get lucky with a wheelspin since it’s not a playlist reward this time around.

Mixed trial.

First event 6th, lost time in the straights.

Second event, good dice with another human, he had the lead till about 80% and I got a nice cutback. Was trying to give him the win but no. Got a message after which was a pleasant surprise!

The pr jump into the stadium, bah, angles to get a landing. Stock hoonigan RS did the other two easy

treasure chest unlocked as soon as I got in the Ford Racing Puma

It’s a non-issue, but when using photo mode, I realized that something like half of this week’s treasure chest is above the ground.

Homologation Heros on road and B Class? This Suburu 22b from a couple of weeks ago should be good for that too …

Ideally for MC users, shift at about 6000 rpms.

now Trial might have done something I’ve never seen before, just checking . . . no, it didn’t, never mind, thought they maybe had fixed the consumable perk bug . . . pigs, flying, etc

tried that but nothing - only when I got in the FE edition did it pop…

theory - did you do it in the FE version before? maybe it remembers - I don’t remember what I used before, though

not sure how I managed to do it so easily without watching a video, though
