So I have to waste 20 min starting a drag race over and over 5 times. Thanks for that time waster, not like there isn't already enough to do. Than it's more wasted with 3 street scenes. Not seeing any overlap this time. Is that really the best challenges you can muster?

Is anyone else having problems with the weekly challenge; can't get either car to work?

Same problem...

Tried both cars and cannot get the first chapter to check off either.

Same issue here...

Great, ANOTHER S2 class Hypercars online seasonal! It’s bad enough they locked a new exclusive car behind an online multiplayer event, but they then make said online multiplayer event an S2 class Hypercars seasonal, as if they couldn’t have possibly made it any worse...

If they wanted to make it S2 class Hypercars, then they may as well have chosen the Trial to award the Rossion in, simply because with it being S2 class Hypercars, the Trial would have made more sense for S2 Hypercars, or better still, they could have awarded the Q1 through one of the offline single player championships instead!

Or, if they wanted to keep the Rossion as the prize car for the Seasonal Playground Games, they could have chosen a different set of car restrictions, like Extreme Offroad or Sports Utility Heroes, and combined that with a lower class restriction (maybe A or S1 class), but no! They went for S2 Hypercars!

I mean, of all the car restrictions Playground Games could have chosen for the Seasonal Playground Games event which you have to do to unlock the Rossion, WHY OH WHY did they choose S2 class Hypercars?! WHY???

Well just more time wasting. I guarantee if you start it 10 times eventually you will get a bunch of quitters or uneven teams. No harder really.

Same problem here neither car works, have also several other iterations, no joy!

This trial looks like it'll be interesting. 3 cars to choose from. My guess is the F40 will be the most used

I'm experiencing problems with connecting to xbox live in the game. It says I need Live Gold, but I've got it. Tried it with different games, and had no issues....
what's the deal?

same here had update issues as well fh4 failed to update then disappeared when i rebooted my xbox, i had to reinstall ( had a mild stroke due to i thought i lost everything lol).

Cant get through the first challenge and there seems to be a problem with T300's feed back on bumpy road as well....are these bugs becoming a regular feature for us to not enjoy?

1st time ever, I have zero interest in doing any of this week's events. None of the rewards are of any interest to me (I already have all but the new car). Clothing for the 50% reward.... really?? No Danger Zone? It appears some of my friends are already reporting issues with the events, so it looks like a great week to skip the whole Forzathon Weekly affair and spend the time playing something I really enjoy like Horizon 1.

Nothing is working! If you do get the cars to work don't forget to check out my design for either of them.

Could not play any of my games last night due to the fact that "I was not the one who purchased the games..." This is beginning to no longer be fun.

Tried both cars but neither will register for the first part of the weekly Forzathon challenge. PG needs to fix it please.

Was nice however to have something to buy in the shop which I didn't already own.

I tried having my owned Corvette delivered and that didn't trigger the weekly Forzathon, but when I went to the Autoshow and bought one and drove it out of the Autoshow stock, the challenge did register. Can anyone else confirm that the Viper works by buying and driving stock too?

Just discussed this with the team and currently there appears to be an issue for players who have already bought (prior to season changeover) either the Corvette '15 or Viper '16.
The workaround to this issue is to purchase a brand new Corvette '15 or Viper '16 and this should allow you to complete the weekly challenge.

Sorry if this has caused anyone any inconvenience but we are looking into it.

Retro.... This is NOT an acceptable work around. We should NOT have to repurchase cars we already own.

OP needs to fix some typos created from copying the previous template. Lists this as the final week of the season, should be the first, and lists Season 14 rewards instead of 15. [MM - thanks for the heads up, edited.]

Also glad to hear nothing's changed in turn 10 screwing something up. Having to buy cars you already own because the old ones don't count? What did they do to make the old ones different from ones you buy? What's changed in the cars?

We understand, and that is why the team are currently still looking into the issue to see if we can get this fixed.

Oh in that case everyone can get my Corvette tune, and my design... lol.

Yes, buying a new one from the Autoshow worked. Shame I had to spend 100k of my 420MM credits though, LOL!!

Weekly forzathon not working plus the season event "summer community championship" is saying content not available.
