Was it really necessary to reset my progress in seasonal championships and the trial on Fortune Island? Sure, it is another chance to get the rewards, but i would have prefered if those Championships would have stayed completed.

Series 8 adds the new Drift Adventure to Online.

Earning a rank in Drift Adventure will check-off the Online Adventure requirement for Festival Playlist.

However there is currently an issue with collecting Online Adventure Rewards from Series 7, and Quickplay:

The lineup of Forzathon Shop seems to be wrong.
Now it’s changed to Hoonicorn and Shelby Cobra.
However, to my honest opinion, the pre-change lineup was more attractive. PG, if you want us to actively use the Forzathon Shop, the answer was in the pre-change lineup.

Same to me. I was going to buy another skyline for a different tune since it is an exclusive car but I wasn’t quick enough. I hope it comes back another week.

Forzathon Shop is now updated.

Thank God no Drift PR stunts this week. I can’t drift to save my life!!

And I’m starting to think they are having a laugh with us by not making the Superfast available again in the Forzathon shop. Unless they have bigger plans to make that car available again i’m not sure why it hasn’t been made available. Some cars have been in the Forzathon shop 3 times already. A lot of people missed out on the Superfast because they were either not playing the game yet or hadn’t qualified for the Horizon Festival like myself. Come on Playground Games!!

Is that ANOTHER drive xx.x miles challenge? Every time they have one, it’s a parade of bug complaints, but they keep donkey-braindishly forcing it. Well, cue the parade because I’m 0 for the last hour. The last time we had one, changing to a particular car was the only thing I could do to make the counter start working correctly. This one is restricted to the F40 C and neither of mine work for it … faaaaaaaaaaabulous.

I have drive motorway somethink like 20 times, progress 2,2km. Come on PG fix your game or stop making these drive xx.x amount challenges. Cant even get 50% of without online now because this challenge dont work.

I found that this is completed by racing ( at least it was for the last time) as well as simply changing your damage / tire wear settings to simulation. Try those?

Sorry but the Trial this week is awesome! Low class cars, nice and steady actual driving, no ramming (accidental or otherwise) and the gorgeous little Porsche at the end.

Thank you PG, more low class races please, they are sorely needed. One can only watch life blurring past you so much before it gets samey, it felt good to be able to take in some beautiful scenery for a change…

Has anyone worked out yet if it is possible to get to 80% percent without doing the PGG or the Trial now that the Monthly Rivals is gone? I’m at work and havent had a chance to see what the new percentages look like.

I did the Monthly Rivals thru the rivals tab. It showed up at the playlist after I set a time.

Awesome thanks, I was kind of dreading “having” to do the PGG or the Trials to get to 80%. Its much nicer only having to do the Trials if i want to as long as I do the Rivals and Online Adventure.

Monthly Rivals is not gone. If you don’t see it, restart your game.

Anyone struggling with keeping up with the “Expert” AI on the “Mountain Attack”, use the “Hoonigan RS200” if you have it with one of the few 900 tunes available. Quite easy with that after struggling to keep up using Gymkhana 9 Focus and Gymkhana 10 Focus. They were rubbish!

Not a big fan of them gate keeping the weekly challenge behind a 3 million credit car. While I’m good it doesn’t seem all that fair on newer players or people who have actually spent credits o things in game.

That car was the reward for 50% of last months series playlist. It was pretty easy to obtain.

Noup, last month 50% reward was F50 GT while this week forzathon challenge needs to do with F40c.

Edit: slow. and something more to rant, that new M-B that is this week 50% reward dont have race springs, yet another car where you can get rally and drift supsension but not race supsension.
