Anti lag in the Volvo? Yes please.

Got caught on a wall piece in the first race, ruined my chances.

Second in second race.

Both had ai that hooned off in first but for the most part it was tidy

Anyone having issues getting the 2nd pathfinder to trigger? I’ve found the start point in Playa Tranquila but it won’t trigger for me.

Glad you liked it! :slightly_smiling_face:

Caught a wall piece myself on the 1st race (dead stop :woman_facepalming:) but walked away in the 2nd! I’m not the fastest but I’ll take a 2nd and 1st! :grin:

Best of luck to everyone this week…:+1:

Same. Crossed the start a dozen times, countdown not starting.

Looks like someone placed the FINISH there, with three green balloons.

Yeah they messed up the instructions a bit, the start is at the other end towards Copper Canyon, not the ending. Bit confusing

Photo equipment location:


It can be hard to spot the “lago blanco” because of the white text on white desert.

Yeah, that threw me. I saw the 3 green balloons, which indicate the end of the trail. Followed the red balloons to the 2 balloon start.

Also, look for the grubby yellow balloon.

But that text is difficult to see.

Has anyone else been unable to get beyond the first Horizon Tour race? I tried five separate events when the game wasn’t disconnecting me, and each time I completed the first race and that was it, Instead of being directed to the second event, I was kicked back to the map.

When I did the Horizon Open, the same thing happened. Did the Airfield Cross Country and was dumped back to the map.

I’ll have another go at Horizon Tour tomorrow, but this is a glitch that I’ve not previously encountered.
