PSA: 2020 Audi R8 V10 in Builder’s Cup Open Class Tour is time gated

This post on Reddit summarises something that I think is quite unclear on the Forza UI - that the Acura #6 ARX-05 Dpi reward car for “Featured Tour” is not the only limited-time reward in this current play list.

As u/d5aqoep explains, there are actually TWO cars up for grabs which are not in the autoshow:

  • 2020 Acura #6 ARX-05 Dpi (Complete Track Tour under Featured)
  • 2020 Audi R8 V10 (Complete Modern Tour and Open Class Tour in Builder’s cup)

I don’t think the UI is that informative to give you a clear deadline/event window like in the Horizon games, so want to spread the word. I certainly did not catch this inside the game itself, without referring to articles and videos like those in these links.

Based on the emphasis of these two tours specifically in the linked article, I can only assume that the other Tour rewards (Dodge SRT Demon, Ford GT '17, Lexus LFA, Porsche 911 GT2 '95) are NOT time-limited so can be achieved at your leisure. Perhaps @T10ManteoMax can clarify this?

So FYI folks, you have two weeks to get these cars, and if you’re suffering from the progress-save issues, I hope T10 makes these cars available again soon for those who cannot progress in time.

The whole concept of FOMO in every game needs to die in a ditch. It’s always anti-player and is disgusting.

this would be great if the game actually saved my progress through the Builders Cup so I could actually unlock the R8

That’s a really good point and I have thought about the same thing. When I have to come online to check, if there is some event or FOMO thingy, instead of finding that out in game, then it is a bad GUI design. Previous Forza titles have had similar issues (Horizon is notorious for that with its unclear event descriptions).

does that mean Open Series will go away… or the reward will change…

The theme and prize in the Open Series will change every 4 weeks. Currently it’s “German Manufacturers” with a German reward car.

Yeah I wasn’t forced to use a German car either (although all the AI cars were). I assume it’s supposed to be restricted to the theme much like the Horizon games but they didn’t set it right.

i hope they extend it because i got softlocked in the super saloon series even after finishing 5 times the progress never saved

Double bonanza for devs, first they didn’t fix the bugs and second they didn’t add new events. Laziness for the win.

(How) can I unlock the 2020 Audi R8 in April 2024?

This car was gifted a few months ago. Have you checked the gifts section of the messages hub?

13

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I checked the message hub for any gifts when I bought and installed the game shortly after update 5 (February iirc) , and still regularly do. Unfortunately, no gifted Audi R8 :confused:

14

In that case, no way to get it currently unfortunately. Have to hope at some point they re-gift it or include it as a prize again.

@Turn10 since it’s already in the game could you please make it available again soon, thank you!

16

I would give you mine but Turn10 took away the Auction House so there’s no way of being able to help out those that missed out

FOMO is a scummy tactic that refects on those that implement it in their product.
