What happened to the weekly PR stunts. I mean i like a challenge but it shouldn’t take some specialty tune and 5 hours to get the weekly stunts. Not everyone has 15 hours a day to get these things.

Don’t you want them to be happy that your player engagement is through the roof?

My player engagement would be higher if they put more in the game to do. I play enough to get the new cars and that’s about all I play anymore.

The drift one was the only really tough one. The others was just a matter of getting the right tune.
Makes up for all the times they were so easy in most cases you could get them on the first go without much effort. I recall in Horizon 4 we had some really hard ones from time to time especially in Winter.
If you’ve already done this, then never mind.
But grab a 4WD tune with snow tires and give it one last shot. See how you do.
The PR stunt that nearly defeated me was the Merc CLK speed zone a few months ago. Then there was Audi speed zone on the mountain. Got them both - but it was a grind. But all good in the end as far as I’m concerned.
I got my 40 points and my seasonal reward cars. I’m good. Very happy to not waste time on the drifting since I… hate drifting.
If I have the choice between wasting hours beating my head against a drift event I despise, or sinking those hours into working on another game in my backlog like God of War Ragnarok or Horizon Forbidden West or Red Dememption 2 or… anything else that doesn’t make me drift, I know what I’ll choose.

I gave up on the drifting one. I got to like 950,000 a couple of times and that was it.
You’re so close to getting it. Might worth couple of more attempts.
do you really need to get 100% every week
some people actually would like an actual challenge in this game where everything seems to be thrown at you at little to no effort every week

Some challenge every now and then is very welcome. Many people on this forum complain that the game is too easy and even “babyfied”. There are many ways to get 40 points for the 2 reward cars every week. You don’t have to do every task in the “chore list” as some people call it. I am kind of a perfectionist and completionist myself, but I quickly gave up on the 1 million drift zone…
I am not good at drifting and have no intention to get better. I hate drifting and I do not understand the whole drift culture. For me it’s always been about going around corners as fast as you can. And drifting slows you down. When I drive really fast through a drift zone and get 0 points, I am satisfied. That means I did a good job driving and tuning the car…
For me it’s much easier to win a Horizon Open race or the Eliminator than to get 1 million points in that drift zone. Thus, I sit this one out and I am okay with that.

You will become a much better racer if you are a good drifter. If you learn how to drift then you can go beyond the point of grip in a race and be even faster 
And in dirt races your drift skills get you even more of an edge.
personally I preferred the even-harder ones they had when FH5 started, decent sense of achievement
I usually pass “drifters” on the inside of corners by hitting the apex and being on the throttle (and actually having grip) earlier than them. 
And going beyond the limit of grip is not drifting in my definition - it happens all the time, especially in heated races. Fortunately, the game does not punish you as much as it should. In this game, it may make you faster in certain cars in certain corners. But to do it deliberately - I don’t think so… In real motorsport or simulations, it would ruin your tires. It even does in FH5, if you turn simulation damage on.
But that’s also not “drifting” according to the drift community with their stanced cars. Using AWD cars is “power sliding”… Rally driving is a whole different topic and a whole different world. Yes, you need to “drift” on gravel roads to be fast. It’s more about keeping up the momentum and shifting the weight for the next corner.

I never said it was drifting, i said you be better bec you can drift. Its a skill needed to be a more complete driver.
Its a bit like mma, you need to master more than one skill to be really good.

Surely being good at drifting helps in dirt racing as tight corners especially a got around quickest by sliding.
This advice should be up there with painting your car gold to go faster.

eh… I get what you mean, and agree, to a point, but… “points” drifting and “race” drifting (sliding really, I think) are two totally different beasts. Are good “points” drifters also good “race” drifters and vice-versa ? Not sure, not my personal experience anyway, but then I suppose I’m mediocre at both so maybe ?
EDIT : ah, yes your clarification has clarified it, 
Drifting is a great way to learn tracks I believe. You take your time to swerve through and your mind absorbs the ins and outs of each track.
For example the Bola circuit and other town circuits. I’m not good at racing there. But drifting on them helps me develop my skills there and has much reduced my frustration.
Drifting is also easier on the hands. Racing can strain them. I see drifting as the bubble bath of pixelated motoring.
I guess your not very good at either
“You’re”
Maybe, happy to race ya anytime and find out. You pick the car/tune/track/class and I’ll bring the game
