Reminder: rebooting your device solves most issues. If you are seeing a fallback Festival Playlist that does not match these events, or EventLab details missing, this is an indication that you should check to be sure you’ve installed the April 26 content update, and reboot.

If issues persist, such as the Treasure Hunt chest not appearing, submit a ticket at Forza Support so your issue can be logged and investigated.

Awhile ago another player gifted me a lovely 1983 VW Golf originally painted and tuned by @Novaly6933 :grinning: It’ll be fun getting to do a weekly a challenge another forum members car. :+1: (Follows nicely from the Horizon customs theme)

I haven’t checked on my XSX but on Cloud I don’t have the rivals event and the store is not working.

I can also see the 4 Car Pass cars for Season 8 which I don’t think have been announced yet; 2020 BMW M8 Competition, 2020 Audi RS3, 2018 RS5 and VW Pickup XL.

Was this week’s thread posted properly? It doesn’t show up under FH5 Discussion because it was posted in the general FH5 section. I thought it was late, but found it because another thread in the Discussion section was merged into it.

Try to restart it, I had issue on cloud. After closing the tab and reopening everything was fine.

Is it just me or is the link to your vid broken ?

It is not just you, looks like it is a link to youtube studio, not to actual video.

Written description: In the circle there is swamp in the middle. Right where 2 asphalt roads are closest, try crossing the swamp between them and you will see bunch of boats. Between them there is a treasure chest.

Thanks, appreciate the help :slight_smile:

No worries for myself, pretty straight forward and easy one this time. And I know Stevio’s youtube so I found the video too, just thinking others might find the actual link helpful.

The eventlab race was brutally long. 3 laps was torture, I would have been completely fine with 1 lap, maybe even 2 but 3? Unnecessary!

Think I was very lucky with the Trial, trolls will be rubbing their hands at Trucks on courses with tight/twisty sections.

Used a Unimog that would lift it’s wheels up under vigorous cornering, 1st 3/4 of Reservorio was…an experience until I got used to how it had to be drove.

Don’t know if it’s the same for everyone else but in my Trial the drivatars vehicles didn’t scale, all of them were in A702 Tankpool’s.

I just finished the Trial, didn’t notice what the AI used. I also used the Unimog. Team won in 2 races and I finished 8th in both races. In the first race, I was in 3rd but around the 3/4 mark the back of the Unimog clearly clipped through a checkpoint flag but the game said I missed it. Rewind dropped me back to 8th. In the 2nd race, I was in 5th behind 3 people and 1 drivatar. I was basically just playing interference with the AI, since the other person in the race was pretty far back. But I started to tip over after the final turn (first time across either race I had that happen) and after the rewind was back in 8th again.

I enjoyed the EventLab, but also thought that should’ve been no more than 2 laps.

The trial was a gift and it’s so easy to block the AI with a truck, and Yes all the ones we raced were A702, my team won both races ans we finished top 6 in both.

Here’s a tune for the S1900 anything goes championship. It’s the No.25 Ferrari tuned down to S1900, it’ll easily beat anything in that championship

I ran the Trial early today. Being lazy I grabbed a popular turner’s tune at 788PI. I thought it was going to be a disaster in the trucks but several good enough drivers were there. Still there were some issues with players and with drivatars but it was much more enjoyable than I expected.

The car pass Ford Lightning is a really cool addition. I created a Racer’s Edge logo and shared it and the truck livery. I haven’t looked but I assume it is a genius original idea that no one else has thought of. Truck is cool regardless so I think it is going to keep my attention for a while. L8

Yep, also a smooth two and done Trial here. All AI were indeed A 702 and mostly easy to handle, one in each race stayed near the front. I had them all licked early in the second race then got distracted by Teammate closing up, trying to hold the AI, and stay in 1st …and blew the first sharp turn. I should have just run my own race that time lol. I probably wouldn’t have finished first anyway, at least one Teammate had a better tune/skill package. No salty Team Humans was a nice surprise given the anticipation of Trucks being Trucks lol.

I noticed the Rabbit has 0.5 seconds skill chain extension for 2 skill points just in case anyone has issues. It might help and it’s cheap.

Totally agree. 3 laps took about 10 mins which was a bit to long!

Did the trial, won it even after losing the first due to three rucksacks, luckily 2 of them dropped out, so the team won the last two apart from the one rucksack that was left the I came first in both those and the 2 worthy teammates finished good enough to beat the ai.
