Festival Playlist events and rewards Apr. 24 - May 1 (Summer S46)

I thought I’d risk it with the Tankpool and it was surprisingly effective once I’d escaped the carnage on the start line

ABS/TC/Stability Off, Normal steering, Auto shifting using COMoonStars11 tune and I ended up finishing 2nd and 1st

Only issue is that the Tankpool cannot take corners but I really wasn’t expecting it to so plenty of Truck pinball on the way around


Update is downloading at a staggering 60 KB/s. Everyone and their mother must be trying to get this thing right now.

Lucky you :slightly_smiling_face:
I only ever get a max of 60-70 Mbps and that usually drops to virtually nothing and stops completely for ages multiple times in every download.
60 KB would be brilliant.

Trial was good.

Nice and clean. Unimog. Half the team in stock mb.

Nice to have a few different options on the pr stunts. Had some tuned cars I was able to use for each

It did eventually unstop itself and get back to the 20 MB/s range. I’m almost a bit sad, I wanted to party like it’s 2001 for longer.

Well it’s better than doing B Modern Rally I guess…

Surprisingly hassle free, used my own tune which I would have shared but it would have no use outside of this week, and right now I couldn’t share + people couldn’t download it anyway, the servers have been playing up since before I went off earlier on.

I have a question about FH5 on PS5. If I gift cars to new players after the 29th will they go to PS5 players?

No it’s random unless it’s a special gifting time like Xmas when you can gift to a friend.

I started the playlist on Thursday just to log 15 minutes playtime for the MS Rewards, jumped in a VW Golf GTI, gifted a car, did the speed zone, then tried the danger sign. Needing a tune, thought I’d return later, so did a Skill Realm with a drift car. The radio failed to trigger the accolade so I quit for the day.

Coming back yesterday, the gift a car Daily was no longer gold but the message confirming it was received was still in my inbox. Also, the Golf chapter 1 was not complete and won’t now work, even with a freshly bought unmodified car. Not a new glitch, but still happening after all this time? Thankfully I long since stopped trying to get all gold on Series. Weirdly, the get a ‘clean racing’ skill in Open from the previous week also unawarded (is that a real word?) itself.

Seems like introducing new features comes with bugs galore - see what happened recently when new Series stopped and last year when FH4 stopped updating.

It’s some kind of weird yellow :thinking:

yeah, bit odd - can’t say as I’ve ever looked at that one (or many of them at all) except in passing

thanks for this, I’m going to give it a go on simulated from now for a while, think I know what you mean and I think I find it annoying - we’ll see how it goes

Also works for the RA stunt is the stock Nissan S-Cargo D222. So appropriately named but made the 70mph!

9 stars on trailblazers for a daily?! Seems a bit excessive…

yes, Malpaís is the one to do but a lot of them are easy and fast (there are a couple of exceptions, more than just Juggernaut)

Sorry, kind of relates to your post, ‘clean run in rivals event’ daily from Monday is not working, have done numerous circuits, drag and sprints ‘clean’ and winning, but still no trigger? :sob:
