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.

well, there are quite a few unique things about the series, accolades and stuff (I think, got them all first time round)

Yes and it was annoying then as now that there are 2 open racing challenges unless you wait until the daily comes round and do both then.

Thank you Max :smiley:

On the Swedish translation, the second Forzathon chapter says street race, not road race.
So doing street races won’t complete it sadly, i did 2.


ANOTHER STOCK TRIAL?!

I actually enjoyed it - I do sometimes use stock in the other championships just for a change, but not in the Trial. Ok, the circuit race was < redacted >, but the sprints were a nice, different challenge (cos I won 'em! :smiley: )

Good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes (he says, slipping quietly back into his…)

Does everyone get credit for the challenge to knock down 10 stands in Copper Canyon? There are stands, but I’m driving through them :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It’s the horizon 1 boards you need to hit

here’s a first - I get in my stock Ford Mustang '13 and join Trial and the game says I have to rent a car :laughing:

actually . . . this was a thing back in the day, wasn’t it? memories coming back of a few that were like this for no reason

getting in that car and resetting upgrades gives it a PI of 755 but the event itself has a requirement of 756

If you’re driving through things that should be “smashable”, you need to restart your game. This is something I’ve seen happening more and more and it usually happens during the start of the first season in a new series.

okay, put on a few upgrades including different wheels, reset the car twice, off to the trial and . . . nope
