Have you got the trident yet?
Not yet, I'll be back on the game today.

Wheeeeee!!! hehe



48 points this week. I haven't done The Trial (already got a Hoonigan Cossie), Playground Games (I never do those if I can get away with it), Auld Lang Syne, 2010s cars (tried it, couldn't get it done, weirdly got hassled at the first night race by a Lotus and the Mercedes racing truck at the same time hehe ). And I haven't done the 2 remaining daily challenges because they aren't active yet smile .

For the Event Lab I got an A800 tune for the Focus with 10 launch and 10 speed. Start from the red wall and floor it at the ramp in the stadium to hit the target, no need to mess about with finding chests.

The description for the daily challenge today doesn't mean much, it's 'UTV bunny hop' or something like that. To get the point, get air skills in a UTV 10 times in 30 seconds. Basically take it to the sand dunes by the west coast beach and jump around hehe .

If any of you want a drift track in the stadium, here's a drift track in the stadium. Not mine, it's been posted in the FH5 Facebook. https://fb.watch/al2PoYojHe/

I've logged in to start series 3 in the challenges and for some reason I've got 9 points in the series without doing anything. 0 for summer then 3 points each in autumn/winter/spring, which aren't active yet?!?

Anyways, stuff the 488, I want the Celica this week hehe

Trailblazer is a right bd.
Yeah, quite a long one. I got first time with a few rewinds of course - in the reward car that I already had!
I was 1 second off a few times with my own setup, so I downloaded a tune for it and did it first time, there are a few there already. The one I used was EZ Seasonal, first one on the suggested tunes for me.

Points for the Ferrari done, 19 more points for the Celica and I've still got the trial, races, arcade and tour to do (ignoring the playground games)

Got the Celica smile . 49 points with the trial, playground stuff and remaining daily stuff left. I tried to do a trial but it counted out waiting for players and nothing happened, same thing a few times over.

The Celica as standard has a bodykit, the regular body parts are there in the aero menu under Toyota parts if you don't want yours to look like something from an early Fast and Furious film.

The last 2 daily things done, 63 points. Happy. I thought I'd go to the ice rink in the stadium to do the air skills accolade. Umm, guys, where did the ice rink go? That's sky, the ice rink floor disappeared...



Oh Forza!

The next round of fixes will include retroactively awarding points from borked seasonal challenges in series 1 and 2 of the festival playlist challenges https://www.trueachievements.com/n48334/forza-hori...

Bentley, Trial, Tour, Treasure Hunt and photo done. 28 points, got the Donkervoort. Minimum 17 points to get from the rest of it

The Trial was an easy one this time. The Bentley took a while to do 100 miles, but tuning it to S1 helps with the speed hehe . I just need to get some money back now after buying the thing.

Apparently you can stick it on a rock with the wheels in the air, and Ferris Bueller it to 100 miles by jamming the controller down and leaving it. hehe
That is genius hehe . I did a few laps around the map and finished off with a run up and down the motorway and it held just over 180mph doing that bit. Now I'm thinking I might have been quicker just doing the motorway for the whole thing, I think it's about 7 miles between the roundabouts at either end? Whatever, I did the scenic route.

I've got the Toyota for 45 points and the Zenvo tonight in the series. The street race and the arcade/eliminator stuff are left to get as much of the rest as I can. Didn't fancy an S2 street race tonight

Has anyone got all 39 stars on the Vocho story? I've got 75k, the 1 star left is for getting 250k skills so I'm about 175k short hehe . So what am I missing to get 250k skills in an old Beetle? For the 75k I went inside the stadium and got a few 20k+ drifts in on the grass.

I've decided life is too short to complete the sesonal F40 challenge.
Got to within 3mph after 20 ish attempts had another dozen goes.
Given up, all for 2 points.
I did that one, you can cut corners and straight-line over the curves a little bit to shortcut it without getting a fail. I'll have a look later what my car mods setup was for it.

My F40 at A800:

4.5 V8 conversion
7 speed race gearbox, race clutch, driveshaft and diff
+20lb weight wheels, I went with TSW Hocke heim R
No other engine, handling, aero or tyre upgrades

That puts the car stats to

562bhp
398lb ft
3018lb

Speed 7.7
Handling 6.4
Acceleration 6.3
Launch 6.8
Braking 5.3
Off-road 4.8

I'm pretty sure there are no tuning changes, but I only had gearing, tyres and diff to set.

I got well in to the new seasonal stuff tonight, got the Porsche and well on the way to the 45 points car (brain fog, is it a Mustang?). Fog cleared, it's the Hilux.

The Trial went a bit sideways at first. The team was nowhere in race 1 and I was 10th or 11th, after that 3 cars quit the 3 of us left finished top 5 in the other 2 races and won the trial hehe . I'm not sure what happened in race 1 to be so slow. The Trailblazer took a few goes but got there with 26 seconds left, 25 seconds left is the 3 star target.
