We’re celebrating Japanese Automotive culture with JDM inspired car rewards and events on the Festival Playlist. Additionally:
A new Showcase Remix available in the Summer “Wet” season called “A Twist of Freight” will see you take on a unique variation of the “Catch Me If You Canyon” train race. You’ll be driving the 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R fitted with a Rocket Bunny kit during a cloudy, atmospheric evening sunset.
Every week of the series, a new Photo Challenge will task players to find and capture the Japanese Stone Lantern.
In the Winter “Dry” season, a Lucky Cat collectible can be discovered in Aerodromo La Selva – the abandoned airfield towards the south of Mexico.

Collecting all four of the Festival Playlist reward cars will unlock the Japanese Automotive Collector Accolade for 1000 points.

EVENTLAB CAR PARK PROP PACK
The Blueprint Builder is expanding its props library to give EventLab creators the tools they need to build their own car parks with the style, flair and uniqueness that they deserve. The Japanese Automotive update introduces 57 new car park themed props and objects including modular pieces with Snap functionality, while others will also have a variety of colors to choose from. We can’t wait for our creative community to put these fresh props to good use!
So clearly the thumbnail has the NTF Nissan 400Z as hinted at by the devs in the pigpen cypher. Nothing else is remarkable about the picture except from the location of the photo. It is definitely not the tunnel at the big bridge so where could it be? Is it an underpass at the junction of the Mexico motorway at night. Let me know what you think down below. Could be the new expansion… but be realistic.
I believe they mean the environment that the car is placed in, which looks to be a parking garage or something similar. I don’t believe it’s anything we have already in game.
This parking garage is definitley not made in eventlab.
Im hoping if the image is actually taken in expansion 2 that at least the nissan z is in the festival playlist and not the cover car for the expansion 2 or part of it. I woudnt mind it if thats what it turns out to be. But idk i would like it more if players were able to experience the car without it being behind a paywall. Im keeping up with my initial prediction that this series will probably celebrate expantion 2. I belive they’re both connected.
Expansion Announcement on -25th
Lets go - 26th extended talks on it
Series 17 will celebrate it
And it will release around series 18
There is definitely new assets on this picture, I believe it’s a new location. The pillars are new, wall warning sign is new… that’s definitely not a known location or an event lab.
Users on other websites have speculated that the location is most likely the abandoned airport on the existing Mexico map because of the matching lights and trees in the back.
It appears to be an event lab that was probably created there with new/existing assets.
Hopefully not just those. Hopefully there’s at least one JDM Chevy and JDM BMW/Audi. Unfortunately chevy will be difficult one because as far as I know those can’t be sold in Japan.
Any bug fixes being implemented this time? Usual suspect bug fixes - those from Horizon 4, missing Treasure Hunts, broken consumable perks, etc. Again, it’s reasonable for a customer to repeatedly ask questions about a product that remains dysfunctional and this appears to be the only place to do so.
