The next Bounty Hunter Rivals event is now live (March 14). Navigate to the Single Player / Rivals / ForzaRC menu and find the "ForzaRC Ladder Challenge" event:



"Hit the groove and compete against a field of Turn 10 drivers in this special ladder-style Bounty Hunter event. Earn up to 5 rewards for beating lap times set by the following Gamertags: RBW Triton, JONK1969, Mechberg, Gr1malian, and SchmooGnu. Plus, everyone gets a participation reward."

"Five Bounty targets means five rewards available to players too. In fact, in addition to offering a reward tied to each Bounty target, we’re also offering a participation award for anyone who sets a time in the event. In order to win the other rewards, you’ll need to beat the Bounty target associated with that reward."

You don't have to follow the gamertags on Xbox Live to earn the prize but you may find it helpful to use them as the ghost Rival. If you're not seeing a set Rival's ghost, select the name from the leaderboard and then Watch Replay for a moment, then back out and Set as Rival and their ghost should appear. Note that bounty targets can improve their times day after day, so don't rest until they've stated they've set their final time ahead of the community deadline.

That leaves the door wide open. Maybe we'll see multiple people set target laps in the same event? I'm thinking something like Triton, Mechberg and Johniwanna each setting a time in one event, and prizes for beating each person on the same leaderboard. It makes sense if there are so many prizes at stake.

Yeah,not those 3 please!!

As long as there's a participation award. I care nothing for the competition.

This is gonna be difficult. I'd better sharpen my skills. Alan was the calm before the storm. :(

Actually I beat Alan at Daytona with just three laps and the first clean one was already faster. At Le Mans I was able to defeat him driving more conservatively as the career kept me sharp and I had just beaten the Vintage GT Racing cup in a car that handles similarly to the GT40 even while upgraded.

More competition? Come on I just replaced my broken controller and TV after the 66' GT40 event. 🙄

Just kidding! Lets see you guys do your worst. 😎

Gimme the Volkswagen hippie bus for it or i'll flood this thread with Youtube links of every song Led Zeppelin ever released !

You heard me !

Best Regards !

Remember,gin and tonic is your friend!!!

Hope they put more returning cars as rewards, like they did with the '58 MGA!

Sounds like I'm going to need a lot of it for this event. 😅

As long as they don't pull a manual transmission with clutch event!

i would hope for a tvr cerbera speed 12

“more competitive” - I’d better prepare myself for several periods of intense frustration culminating in a lingering sensation of failure and disappointment

Let’s hope it’s not quite as brutal as the Rolls around Brands or that bloody Indy Car :)

In Fm4 they once had Juan Pablo Montoya as the Bounty, hopefully it's something like that.

The Aston Martin V12 Zagato J.P. Montoya Edition?


Yeah, I remember that. It was cool.

I'm up for a challenge - sounds interesting

I just got interested in these again after staying away since the R/R Brands Hatch one that Triton did. You want me to dread these for another 2 years?

The Aston was probably the prize (Can't remember) but the challenge was Corvette ZR1 on Indianapolis infield

It was the prize ;)

[Mod Edit - don't turn this into a car wish list. We already have one linked in the "Wish Lists Go Here" thread pinned above. - MM]

Stream was laggy on my phone even with the quality turned down to 480p, but I believe Brian is the 5th rival.

EDIT: Rewatched the stream. Brian is the 5th Rival.
