I must have won it via Wheelspin since I already have one so lucky me, but the part that really gets me is the last requirement for that challenge - drive 100 miles in the thing. I thought driving 20 miles in the LFA was onerous.

Y'all weren't kidding about the FH4 Trial, it's an absolute pain. S2 class, and half the time your teammates are just barely above random inputs. Managed to win the first, and win the second... In two separate attempts :negative:

I remember downloading this and being like, "OK, when does the actual game part start?"

The answer was unfortunately never.

Hi Everyone,

We hope you all had a safe and wonderful holiday break! With our teams back in the office, we’ve begun working on game fixes and improving the overall game experience – a process that will continue throughout 2022 and which could not happen without your continued feedback and support.

Here is an update on some of the areas that we’re currently working on with our goal being to roll them out as soon as we can:

Accolades - We know players have experienced issues with Accolades not unlocking or resetting and we understand how frustrating this can be. We’re also aware of misleading descriptions that are confusing for players. We’re continuing to work through addressing these and you’ll see more fixed in the next update.

EventLab - Based on the feedback we have received from you, our top priority is introducing the ability to save and edit EventLab content post-creation. We’re currently working on this and hope to release in an upcoming update.

Festival Playlist - We know the Festival Playlist has been an area of concern for Forza Horizon 5 players. We’re taking the necessary steps to ensure that future challenges and objectives can be completed by all players. In addition, we’re working on a solution to retroactively apply points for bugged Daily Challenges and Treasure Hunt events in Series 1 and Series 2. This will also unlock the “Min, Meet Max” achievement for those who had completed all other events and challenges within a series. Stay tuned for additional details.

In the meantime, we’re aware of an issue that shows the incorrect total value of Series Points earned by some players when viewing a previous Series Playlist. Our team has identified that this is caused by the auto-completion of the Horizon Tour in each season and we’re currently investigating a solution.

Wheels - We’re investigating numerous issues around wheel support in Forza Horizon 5, especially for the PC version. These include a crash when closing pop ups or Wheelspins with a Fanatec wheel, missing wheel mapping on the Hori Force Feedback wheel and a lack of rumble functionality that is separate to force-feedback.

We’re also looking into why the handbrake for Thrustmaster and Fanatec models does not work consistently for some users, as well as a specific Logitech wheel issue in which there is no longer any force feedback produced after suspending the title.

Leaderboards - We’re investigating a solution to remedy erroneous lap times and high scores being posted to Rivals and PR Stunts leaderboards. This remains a high priority for our team and we hope to introduce new safeguards to tackle the situation around cheating in the future. We don’t expect this to be a quick fix but we’re committed to ensuring the leaderboards are fair and not compromised.

There are many more issues being worked on alongside these. As always, your feedback and input has been invaluable in tracking down and fixing the issues. We want to thank you all for your patience!

Not a single mention of the spoiler size on the TVR Speed 12.

Any smaller and you wouldn't be able to see it, which is also an acceptable compromise.

Judging by the popularity of the Fast and the Furious livery on the 98 Supra (why yes I did put it on my own car), lots of players probably agree with you.

Did they change one of the requirements for the weekly challenge?

I could have sworn the last challenge was to drive 100 miles in the LFA, but it's now 20.

It's been 20 every time I've seen it and I did the LFA one with 20 miles.

Funny because I happened to win the LFA in a wheelspin. Pretty good feeling car to drive actually. But it made me wonder if they gently caress around with wheelspin odds to raise the chances of stuff like that happening, getting the exact car you happen to need for a weekly challenge.

They would never force anyone to buy a car for 4 million to finish an event so it will be either gifted or in the shop for sure.

People were looking at the future seasons and I think it was next week’s Bentley challenge that had a 100 mile drive challenge in it.

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
Ugh, I really hate the limited time unlocks. Sorry I wasn't able to play all week, now I have to get 35 more points when getting 2 from a trailblazer took 20 whole minutes and it's still not even done, I missed it by literally one second twice.


I spend so much time grinding the festival weeklies that by the time I'm done/give up I don't want to play anymore and don't have time to do anything else in the game. This is what happened with 4, it ended up feeling like work and I avoided playing at all.

What do you get from the festival weeklies besides the cars? It seems like you need a ton of points to earn any of them and there are a zillion cars in the game already.

Horns, outfits, links a few other things probably. I like it because I can spend probably a half hour a day and always have something new to do. It sucks if you don't have time to play games though.

Huh, I wonder. I remember seeing a ton of stock Miuras in this week's trial (invariably finishing at the bottom). I got one from a wheelspin this week too, but didn't end up using it.

Of the two tries it took me for the Trial this week, we really only failed the first because someone came in with a B605 '73 Carrerra and screwed us all by coming in last every time and not leaving.

Second go was much better as everyone was B695-700
