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.

not quite sure where you’re going with this, it’s not particularly difficult, just a question of angling the jump up the steps then hitting the brakes at the right time

with a little run-up and the right tuning on B700 easily I also managed 44.8 seconds, not easy but doable

Entered the S1 Nissan Street Championships with the little Nissan Be. It’s not a giant killer but it handles well and it’ll beat poor players with power builds.

The trial was fine. Took the same car to the rally adventures and was rammed out of it.

Grabbed a forgotten Clio with an old drag tune for those PR stunts and that did the job 1st/2nd time of asking.

Correct me if I’m wrong but do Seasonal Playground games events not contribute to your Open level?

9

Nope. I hate this particular challenge. You can spend an eternity doing it.

You can spend an eternity just waiting to exit after finishing a game,waiting for the next one to start so you can exit ;black screen with little spinny circle for about 3minutes :frowning:
Got that time back in my arcade run though.Started on the highway end island/jump point,which i usually avoid due to high levels of unparticipating participants. Drift skills done round the island,then drift to destination took me 3/4 of the way through the correct drift zone,so as soon as that pinged i finished the drift zone and that pinged too .Barely a minute in total :smiley:

Trial was alright.

Stupidly missed a cp after getting caught in a pack, 6th on the first event.
We lost the first race, had some runaway ai

Two second places, better pilot, can’t complain

The storm weather on the b700 cc sc was intense! Lol. Can’t recall the weather effects being that severe!

The VW pr stunt, bailed out after half dozen attempts with stock 22 r and upgraded it. Took two goes then to get it right

Has anyone been able to choose the Jag I-Pace for the seasonal PG Games? I checked the legal cars and the I-Pace was among them, then I took my I-Pace for the seasonal PGG and started waiting, but after the session was found, I was not given the opportunity to select the I-Pace :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

The I-pace is banned in all multiplayer events due to the “drift transmission bug” which also affects the razr tachyon (iirc). In short using the drift trasmission lets you shove s1 to s2 amounts of power and grip into a build and stay in A class.

Oh, right, I completely forgot about it. I remember the situation with RAESR TACHYON, but somehow I forgot about the I-Pace. Thanks for reminding me :folded_hands:

VW campervan is good for this challenge,not sure what tune i have,but it was easy enough. Only b700 tuned VW out of 5 i had in garage that did though

I think the ban only triggers if you have the 4 speed gearbox installed otherwise you can use the car

17

No, pretty sure it was a simple ban on those cars.

No, I used the original gearbox, I didn’t change it to a 4-speed.
