The “Beat x Rivals” challenges would be more satisfying if it would count all the rivals you beat on lap 1 (“You beat xyz and other drivers”). The way it is at the moment you just dirty your first lap, slow down for the next three and then set the time you want to.

Could be “Complete 5 laps in this Rivals event” and would make no difference for play time metrics except that actual fast people wouldn’t run out of Rivals to beat before they unlocked the reward (not me, I’m at least 3s off-pace, but still).

It’s just meant to consume time because you need to invest 8+ minutes into those 5 laps, with additional downsides of how the mechanism works.

I am really excited that we have the proto h spec in featured multiplayer this week!
Thanks t10!

that rivals trick doesnt work for me cause it keeps picking rivals several seconds ahead of me, so i gave up trying to do those challenges if its more than beat 3 rivals

You have to pick the rival from the “near me” rival leaderboard.

Ended up in the same situation with the rivals. Then the problem ofc was that i would have to scroll alllll the way back to find a time i can comfortably beat. I did it once. Went back to the leaderboard to pick another driver. And instead of clicking “select rival” i clicked “watch replay”. Okay.. I back out of it. My game freezes… I’m getting a little mad here. I’m forced to close the game, so i closed it and i opened it again. Only to go back to the challenge hub and find out that the challenge was reset back to 0 %. Or at least it says so. But im not in the mood to find out for sure.

Thank you Forza. Just thank you. Nothing more to say.

Some where some one told of a way the use the rival ghost to get through these challenges. Anyone recall how that works?

yeah thats just annoying

This is just what I posted in January when there were some discussion and still works.

“Just pick someone with really slow time or dirtied time and choose “set as training ghost” and run 5 laps beating that rival time, you do not need to change rival at all this way.”

This is what I’ve been doing ever since you told me about it.
Hopefully they won’t patch that option out. :shushing_face:
