Announced in the Week in Review:
“In addition to the new Rivals events, and in honor of this weekend’s Formula One Spanish Grand Prix, we have published a special limited-time multiplayer hopper – the Catalunya GP. This hopper is for you endurance racing fans out there, and it will test your skills at Barcelona’s famous F1 track in a 30-minute race driving the 2013 Lotus E21. You can find the event on the first page of the Multiplayer Hoppers lineup. Note that this event will only be available this weekend and closes at noon Pacific on Monday, so get your racing in now!”

Weekend Multiplayer Hopper
Announced in the Week in Review:
“For those of you who want to experience the thrill and challenge of Indy in Forza 5 on a schedule that works for you this weekend, we’ve got you covered. Our next Forza 5 in-game challenge – Brickyard Legend – opens at 9 a.m. Pacific today and it will put your open-wheel driving skills to the test. Want to collect a sweet new badge and title? To beat this challenge, you need to complete a race in our Indianapolis 500 multiplayer hopper (which also opens at 9 a.m. Pacific today) and drive at least 375 miles in the event. Sure that’s a long way to go on the big oval but, considering you’ll be racing at speeds well above 200 mph for most of the race, it’s going to go by quick. Just like our recent Long Beach Challenge, the Brickyard Legend challenge will only be available to players this weekend – it closes at around 11 p.m. on Monday. So get your laps in as soon as you can!”
Monthly
Indianapolis 500 - restrictions: Body Family=Modern Indy, Class=X. mode: Timed Race (140 minutes)
If you enter a lobby in this hopper when the race is already underway, the Duration timer will indicate how many minutes are left in the session before the next race starts.
Quick question. Do we know what next months No Collision Lobby Class will be? Just wondering so I know what cars I need to start stock piling. Thanks in advance.
I get that information from the published articles in the News section (usually Rear View Mirror on Mondays or Week in Review on Fridays) or just from looking at the lobby options in the game. If the multiplayer lobbies change for June (and there’s no guarantee that they will, or if they will that there will be a No Collisions lobby), then I would anticipate that change on the day of the car pack release (May 30), or Monday or Tuesday next week.
Thank you sir. Let’s hope they keep the No Collision Lobby going. I would be just find with any class they choose. Maybe even multiple No Collision Lobbies. That would be sweet.
