curious - is your system language (Swedish?) the same as the game language?
2013 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG - A-Class 751 Tuning Code 163 940 161
System Swedish, game Eng-UK, XsX everything updated. Un- and reinstalled game, also deleted local saved files before installation. Second time I also installed everything using xbox store. FM2023 and FH5 only on console otherwise stock apps
just occurred to me that maybe if the system and game languages aren’t the same then maybe the flags for the tasks don’t work properly - just a thought, I do not know that to be the case - but I do know that this has been a complaint about the game for a while, best of luck with it!
Does anyone know which 2 backstage cars won the vote? Im away from my console at the moment.
2 hour later We will see it 
I prepared a lot of cars for this week and came up with a lot of good stuff, so I figure I’ll share a few.
Trial
E63 … SC: 165 241 151
This version has a spoiler and the V10 engine swap and was the quickest I tested.
Glow Up A class Modern Muscle Street Racing Championship
Vauxhall Monaro … SC: 173 155 298
The one I actually used in co op. Did in the 2:25s in testing at the first race … 2:03s in the second race.
Cadillac ATS-V … SC: 237 967 475
Similar in performance to the Vauxhall Monaro. This one has the body kit and no weight reduction. I tested both no weight reduction and race weight reduction. While race weight reduction was better for some things, the no weight reduction version was better for street races. The no weight reduction also did Lookout Circuit laps in the mid 50s during a Horizon Tour co op. Its pretty good for street races.
2013 Dodge Viper GTS … SC: 127 969 211
This Dodge starts in S1 class and only got into A class with drag tires. Despite the drags it handles nice. Its my current leaderboard car at Castillo Del Mar, the second event in this championship, at around 2:03.xxx and #460 something if I remember right. Here’s what a trial looked like:
Except for having traffic in bad spots of all 3 races effecting my finishing times, all were clean and pretty drama free … for me. I dont know what went on behind me that led to the team losing the trial. There were a few Look out!'s on the screen.
By the way … this is probably covered in a video but the treasure hunt challenge is completing all 3 rounds of a Horizon Arcade in a, uh, 71 Plymouth Cuda. I made a quick drift version and did a drift Horizon Arcade, as those are usually the easiest to complete for me even when there’s other players not contributing much.

The BMW and the Focus, if I remember right.
Ive seen it now.I was hoping for the VW Id4 but never mind.
Only I participated in the championship with the limitations of A800 muscle cars and I had a Chevrolet Corvette player with me in the race (I don’t remember the exact model) but how could he get into the A800 if there are only 2 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2015 (S1 - 852) and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2009 (S1 - 809) cars in the store? How did he get into the A class??? 
There are a few things that when added will drop the PI. Usually it’s tires with lower grip. Rear aero and adding weight will often contribute quite a bit to lowering the PI too. Sometimes there’s an engine swap that will drop it.

Drag tires. I made one of those too.
Well, probably drag tires. It starts fairly low in S1 class. The Derberti Mustang is another car that starts in S1 but can get into A … the best way for that one is to keep it RWD and use the 8.4L V10 swap so you can fit rally tires on it. Its one of the better A class Modern Muscle when put together like that.

Trial was easy as expected despite the best efforts of the no brakes crew.
Dirt championship was a struggle because nobody knows how to setup, tune or drive on dirt.
Modern muscle: in the first race we an absolute rocketship of a drivatar, i finished 5 seconds clear of the other drivers (partly due to a ram fest i hadn’t noticed) but the drivatar was 3 seconds ahead of me. 2nd race i got caught in the ram jam . Of course we also had a 6* passenger…
