OK, so I did the 15 championships and won the first finale race. I won over a million credits, went through all the cutscenes (handing me the trophy), and I was told I could choose the road trips now. So I chose a road trip to Sisteron and completed a championship of four races (it was an offroad championship). Unfortunately I came in 2nd overall and lost. So, I was expecting to travel to the next city to continue the road trip (or be asked to pick a city). Instead… the big bronze icon for the Horizon finale appeared again at the festival hub in the lower-center part of the map! Huh? Complete the finale, then lose a championship, and I’m driving the finale again? That doesn’t make sense. Well, I did the finale again and won it, this time only getting about 55,000 credits. But it showed me the same cutscenes (handing me the trophy), and told me (again) I was now able to pick road trips! It was as if I had never won that first finale.
The whole sequence was just bizarre. Has anyone experienced this? I thought the normal sequence was to win another 15 championships and get to finale 2, not race finale 1 a second time after completing (and losing) a single additional championship. I’m wondering if I’m in some infinite loop and I’ll never get to the second finale.
BTW, I got the idea that I was supposed to be racing Ben in these subsequent championships, but it doesn’t look like he’s driving any of the cars in my races. How can I tell?
OK, well thanks. I’ll look out for that name. But can anyone tell me: after you finish the first finale, does the game count down again from 15 championships to 1, each time you win a championship, to help you keep track of how close you are to the second finale? That’s what’s not happening for me right now.
It counts down the 15 championships to a second finale. After that you simply do championships until you are done with them all. I do not know if there is another “Finale” after you finish all 168.
Well, then, I guess I have a glitch, per my original story above. I completed 15 championships, did the finale, attempted (but lost) a new championship, and then was offered to drive the finale again. So if I have this right, I’ve now completed about 21 championships, already done two finales, and now I don’t get a championship countdown anymore. Weird.
I had this exact same glitch and I was as confused as you after reading what is MEANT to happen.
I did the exact same thing as you by the sound of it:
Completed the first Finale
Chose the destination for the next road trip
Completed that one road trip
It told me to do the Finale again. So I did, and I got the same cut scene as the first time, and now it has no count down to any other Finale when I complete any championships.
Same thing happened to me! I just completed the first finale, chose to go to San Giovanni for a Hot Hatch championship, came 2nd, and now i have to do the finale again!
mine is doing the same i did the finale 3 times already everytime i do a new road trip and events it brings me to a finale . its annoying what are we gonna do about this ??
Mine did the same thing -.- I have this glitch too… Worst part is I redid the finale maybe to get rid of the glitch? And my game frost 80% into it… Idk what to do neither and idk if it goes away can anyone help??
