13 minutes today, but that includes 3+ minutes wasted on the treasure hunt before changing plans to the weekly forzathon.
The treasure hunt seems contrary. I drove to the marker for Eventlab Island and then down to the beach where I headed north to Playa Azul, and suddenly I’d completed the task.
The Trial was less difficult than I expected it to be. Not so much Emerald (in spite of it being very wet), but Descansar Dorado, which wasn’t as much of a struggle as I thought. The sharp right-hander at the end of the straight was less problematic than it often is.
The HW PR stunt was eminently doable in the WP Taycan with off-road suspension, and approaching the RA PR stunt from the riverbed (same car) made that a fairly straightforward matter.
I have a problem (Xbox One): I cannot complete the photo challenge even though the conditions are met - a Maserati on the testtrack, but no Maserati is accepted.
You need to go into the testtrack event not just be at the location

can confirm this worked, but not when I tried the SVR, only on my second attempt with the Defender. smh

I can’t remember when was the last time, a treasure hunt was this obscure.
Thanks for the advice.

this silly treasure hunt, it’s a bit, well, silly?
I drove around Playa Tranquila, along that dirt track and a bit on the beach
then fast-travelled to the dirt-road T-junction just east of Calle Principal speed trap and drove a little
then fast-travelled the short distance (I know, lazy) to the road just south of the Barn Find near there
done but what were the bits that counted?!
I might actually watch the stevio video for this . . .
Ok Trial, no problems from teammates and just the one from AI at the start of Emerald, their usual daft swerving pretty much covered the entirety of the road on the way up to the 1st corner, ended up getting held up there but otherwise plain sailing from that point on + on Descansar.
Used K1Z Jumpy’s tune for the C63, ignore the post further up about needing a certain top speed (and generally anything that poster says related to gameplay), Jumpy’s C63 tops out at just 171.2mph yet as you can see did a sub 2:00 on Descansar in a race, while also starting 4th out of the humans, also was able to squeeze it into the top 100 of Cloverleaf on Wednesday.
Nothing to say on the Fiesta as I’ll likely only ever drive it in a future Trial test, would be nice if it surprises me whenever that time comes but I don’t think it will.
Despite my reservations on the Hide and Seek mode I rather wish it was here now just to plug the gap to the next series, I don’t think this one is bad but I’ve just found it very insipid and generic.

Please Forza, if you’re not going to give us an easy in-game way to view the cars in each of your “Horizon Special” car themes, post a list of the cars in each theme.

yes, one of those little frustrations that they’ll do nothing about - so I did that job myself!

Thanks for the Autozam tune. That made things super easy.

Ran the 02 gtr with Tony’s tune (think it was his)
Two easy wins. Barrelled into by a teammate on the second event but it pushed me past everyone else. Lucky break.
for the HW speed trap I found the stock #357 Corvette can do nearly 290, surprised me a bit

Finally got round to completing the weekly 20pts. Definitely have to agree with others that it’s been a challenge trying to stay engaged this series in particular. I know the Fiesta probably isn’t too exciting for most, so thought I might help it along with a design. For anyone looking to dress up your Maserati for the photo challenge, I can also offer one of my favorite liveries for the Gran Turismo S.
Thanks, as always, to anyone who checks them out; it’s appreciated & hope you like them.
Design SC: 115 627 224 - “Work•Racing ST”

Yes - just completed it and it worked well for wreckage / smashing pinatas.
Me too. Just about managed to complete an aerial arcade as I think there must’ve been a sandbagger somewhere.
