Holy poo poo I hate this season. I did the reasonably priced car championship, won all 3 races and the game didn't give me anything so now I have to do it all over again.

For the seasonal championships you need to place first in points. You get 20 for a win, 16 for second, etc down the pack. Usually you’ll need at least 2 wins and then either a 2nd or 3rd place because the same AI tends to lead the rest.

This weeks trial is hard but very reliant on having the right car. I tried first with an X class Huyara with a “grip” tune and it was awful, sliding around the place, I think the creator has TCR on. Then I swapped to a slower s2 Ferrari FXX K with tons more actual grip and slaughtered all but one of the AI every race. I think it’s heavily car dependent, and being able to keep your speed up in the bends where the AI is slower is the key.

If you solo them it's all 3 races championship style, you have to provide your own transportation. For the last one the AI rigs starting grid depending on how you're doing (i.e. if you won both your rivals will be up front but you can probably finish 4th or better and be fine, if you had two meh finishes the points leaders will be at the very back of the grid, but you must end with a win). If you do them co-op it's trial style best two out of three and fast travels you between events.

Except for this week's rivals, what the gently caress is that poo poo can gently caress all the way off.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Apparently if you’ve always taken a photo of that car it just won’t trigger at all. It really feels like the game needed another month or two of bug testing and polishing before release, but since they had to hit the 20th anniversary we got this instead. There’s a lot to like here, but the seasonal and online stuff still feels buggy as gently caress.

In today’s What Were They Thinking episode, Horizon Arcade dropped me immediately into that enormous drift zone on the eastern volcano - the one that takes 3-4 minutes to even drive through and register a score. So the three of us had basically no chance whatsoever.

Worked for me but I had to be in a race, not just freeroam.
Or maybe it worked exclusively in Forzavista.
Someone also told me to use the airstrip for photos.


Whatever happened I tried everything and something eventually worked.

I was lucky in that I was able to sign in a day or two after a big banhammer and get rid of the "DriftHub" logo I put on the side of a Lambo. That too is ban-eligible.

"E for Everyone" was a curious choice for this game. I'd much prefer T for Teen so we can have a couple four-letter words from time to time, not have to worry about a bullet on a car's paint job getting me banned, no giggling little kids driving Veyrons directly into the first turn at 250 MPH, and maybe just a little bit less superstar dick suckin'.

you can filter in the car selector, if nothing shows up you need to buy one (same filter in the market)

edit: some restrictions don't seem to have an explicit filter yet, for example the reasonably priced car is simply below 30k sticker price

Right, I have one, but it’s unclear how I’d shop another in autoshow or even find out what matches in my own collection

e: to be clear, "Collector's Series" is not a filter option in the list you can access from the car collection screen

You can press the hamburger button while you have the championship highlighted on the festival screen to “show eligible cars” and it will display all the cars that you can actually use, even if it’s not a normal filter in the car list

it's maddening that even when this marks a car as currently in your collection there doesn't seem to be a way to get in said car from this screen

From personal experience they don't seem to give a poo poo and they come up in their curated list of vinyl groups all the time.

Yeah, the trials not so bad, after a couple of bad runs where everyone brought X and S2, I joined a one where everyone brought an S1 car, and we stomped it easily.

Just have to get lucky and end up in a group with none-idiots.

I wanted a car that looked like a couch in an 80s basement and thought the Mitsubishi Starion would be the perfect choice. I call it Maroon Dream and I'm very proud of it. I'd really appreciate it if you download and like it. The share code is 647 388 266.

Somehow the Polaris RZR counts as a "reasonably priced car" and it rips apart every track in the series, if anyone wants to have an easy time of things

I think I unlocked a secret car or something. I was looking through the Porsches I had for one to upgrade for this week's speed zone, and I can't remember exactly what it was (I think a 2016-2018 Spyder of some variety,) but when I auto-upgraded it to "S2 998", it turned into some mid-950s different car with a 20th anniversary Xbox livery. It was great for the speed zone!

That was the 918 they sent as a gift last week.

The livery doesn't apply itself until you get into it.
