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.

Wow tough choices…now I am stuck between maserati and mercedes…hmm. Another last minute well hope it works trial build for me I guess.

I like how they don’t even bother to post the targets for S2 anything goes pr stunts, because the difficulty is literally zero

Why include C class seasonal championships in RA when we can’t even run rivals there in C class? :woman_facepalming: All the classes should have been included in the expansion rivals! Off to find/make a blueprint for testing. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I am still so heated over this. I would have spent a few hundred hours on RA rivals if they had D and C.

I’d be pulling my hair out trying to get clean rivals times on those twisty Rally Adventure courses.:upside_down_face:

Did I see one of the new expensive cars in the forzathon shop for 1200 points?!
I love it. Hopefully this breathes life into horizon arcade all month long.
Put genuinely hard to get or desirable cars in the shop and horizon arcade could become as populated as forzathon live was from FH4.

It was one of my favorites in the fh4 extension packs. Bdrifty introduced me to it. It handles so nice, sounds decent in this game, and has some getty up to it. Trying to try different vehicles lately. Sometimes I have to take a 2nd place, but I enjoy it more. Love the Ferrari’s in this game.

when do you think the developers will add the 2024 for mustang dark horse to forza horizon 5 ???

Was there ever any logical (or illogical) reason provided for this? I mean it’s understandable for HWs given the requirements for track “physics”, but doesn’t make sense in RA which is ideal for it.

no reason given at all. same with midnight battles.

That’s what I thought, but not surprised. You would think, particularly with this being a paid DLC, that all “standard” content would be available.
