think this bit needs to be highlighted as it seems a lot of people still ignore this every week and would rather complain about not getting their rewards

So what are lucky escape skills?
Near miss while drifting.

So ANY car with “Cobra” in the title should work for “Battling With Snakes”. Be it the Shelby Cobra, Mustang II King Cobra or SVT Cobra R. Well, that’s how I would do it at least. You never know what cars work and don’t work when the challenges are vague like that. “100 Daredevil skills in a truck” comes to mind.
Thanks
I hope SVT Cobra is allowed because I don’t have the Shelby yet, and don’t have the money to buy one just for this forzathon.
2000 Mustang Cobra SVT did not work for me
It worked for me. So did the Mustang II King Cobra (2nd account)

I also used the 2002 svt cobra to complete the challenge
Dont do head to heads…they dont work this week
Speed trap counts as an event so get the 20K Cr for that Merc in the bag already…
Head-to-head Didn’t count this time so did the 1 lap blueprint at Coober Peddy in the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C
Just the Lucky escapes left to do… although that is saying “Done! Unlocking…” and I haven’t done any yet and it seems to be frozen in that state
Update - next “Lucky escape” reset it to 20% complete…
'95 Cobra R works.
Edit: And so does doing the same PR stunt 3 times.
Thr SVT Cobra does work
1978 Mustang II King Cobra dose work in “Battling with Snakes”.

It is an “event” I suppose…
Still struggling with the Lucky escapes so time to head for BM… I keep trading paint while drifting rather than near misses
Try it on the highway, drift around slower traffic, or drift across incoming traffic. Thats how I did it, and I suck at controlling a car when drifting. If you get a lucky escape stop and bank it just incase (dont think this is required).
Me too… I ended up doing it that way in a drift tune willys jeep short enough to get between the cars while drifting without trading paint…
100K (doubled to 200K) , BMW 635 CSi (sold back 26K) and 45K (doubled to 90K) from the 3 spins
Practising for Next Week…

First time I did the lucky escapes, I went with the flow of traffic and it took a few passes up and down the highway to unlock.
The second time, I went against traffic and it didn’t even take one pass to unlock. Literally took less than 2 mins that time. Crashed a lot, but it worked better that way.
I’m thinking online freeroam could be helpful as well, getting rid of the drivatars and just focusing on dodging the regular traffic cars whilst sideways.
Popped for me for simply driving through a speed trap. I hadn’t even checked what each event was for this weekends Forzathon so I was properly stumped lol
