Just downloaded the update and noticed a new set of 15 bucket lists events are now ready to go - challenges that apparently are based on scores achieved by the development team. Subsequently, Turn 10 has published an article which you can find here.
To access these events, you need to go to the ‘Progress’ tab, select the ‘Bucket List’ tile and be sure to activate the third set of events, at which point you will be able to locate on the map.
Also noted is that several of the cars used are DLC - but you don’t need to own the DLC to run the challenges. I guess if all the car data is there from the updates anyway, may as well put it to use!
That’s definitely a smart way to tease DLC. =) Always liked how TDU2 did that back in the day.
Anyone noticed that #11 says “Speed through Nice at 100 Mph in a G-Shock 370Z ´10”?
As a notorious “must have all extra and promo dlc cars” type of guy, I´m still curious where we can get that car.
These new challenges are not easy!
@nyx You don’t need to own the cars to take the challenges.
I know, but I´d love to add it to my garage nonetheless.
It’s a great move to let people try out the DLC before making up a mind to buy them. Very good idea. They appear to be thinking about this very carefully. Well done Playground/Turn 10/Microsoft!
Now, let’s see how much trouble i have doing these ones after the first lot cost me a good chunk of sanity on occasion!
True. But it seems that it won’t be applicable for future DLC; so, I suppose this may be some sort of trial run.
That G-Shock one was a pain, knocked the rest out. Ready for the next 15 
Done them all, wow some were super tough
I didn’t actually find too many overly difficult, either I’m very skilled (Unlikely) or I got lucky 
The M4 one took me the most attempts, AIs kept getting in the way
Yeah the M4 was tough, it was the damn traffic !
G_shock and 200 mph in a Hyuara are impossible…Traffic and turns make the challenge too hard…I gave up
In the Hyuara you just need to work out how to carry as much speed through the left hander as you are getting closer to the trap. Start wide, brake slighlty and turn keeping it as smooth as possible. When you are no longer at risk of running wide get back on the gas and stay there.
I struggled with the Huyara maintaining enough speed through the off camber left hander. Then I remember, these are challenges set up by Playground Games developers and they love Playground games – DON’T FOLLOW THE LINE! I decided to leave the start, cut through the trees to the road that goes straight down to the speed trap. Made the challenge super easy.
The Alfa Romeo 4C one was also fairly easy.
Now I’m starting on the rest.
Thanks, i’ll give it a try
tough but fun
The M4 one is terribly easy 
just go the other way (downhill)
I’m naughty
Haven’t been on today. How bad are these new ones? Should I just order a new controller now? Lol
