The final week of the Horizon Race Off dawns in Forza Horizon 5, yet as we prepare to bid farewell, there is a last hoorah in the shape of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 32 Spring. That means there are a host of events to see us out.
The good news is that the two cars promised as rewards and part of the Race Off series are now available for doing the races, so check your messages to receive them. After that, let’s see what is in store for Spring, shall we?
Part 1: Weekly Car Challenge – Going Further
This week’s challenge gives us a choice of two cars – and an odd pairing at that. We need either a 2013 Dodge Viper or a 2017 Ford M-Sport Fiesta RS. Apart from the fact they have wheels, not a massive amount in common.
Pick your poison and we can then crack on.
Should you not have one in your garage, then they are available in the Autoshow, at 95,000 and 500,000 credits respectively.
Chapter 1 – Snake in the Dirt
Get in your new car, take it for a spin. Step one complete.
Chapter 2 – Aiming for 1st
Win any sprint, trail, cross country or street race in your chosen car. I went off road with the Fiesta, in case you are wondering!
Chapter 3 – Practical Comfort
Paint the car. You pick the colour. Tough step, this one.
Chapter 4 – No Time to Wait
Earn 5 Awesome Speed Skills in your chosen car. Basically, drive as fast as you can without crashing!
Hit the highway would be my advice.
Complete these tasks and we will be five points closer to the seasonal prizes that are up for grabs with Forza Horizon 5’s Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 32.
Part 2: Weekly Challenges, Championships and PR Stunts
So, with the weekly challenge done and dusted, let’s dive into the rest of the mayhem on offer.
The Trial, the Eventlab making a triumphant comeback, PR Stunts and no less than four Seasonal Championships this week!
The Trial – Perfect Fit
This week we need an A Class 800 Land Rover, which as it is off road is indeed a perfect fit!
I went for a Range Rover from 1973, the same age as me. The share code you need is 820731923.
The prize for managing to find people who actually want to race The Trial like it should be done is an Ariel Atom. We failed miserably last week, can this week be better?
Eventlab – THEFILTHYHONEY Presents Figure 8 Tunnel
For this event, we need a Track Toy tuned to S1 class 900, and it should be interesting! I chose a Ford Supervan 3 and the share code is : 142867545.
An okay track that does what it says on the tin. Don’t touch the walls and try not to be too distracted by the way the cars are floating…
For winning out, we can take away a Cadillac CTS-V.
PR Stunt 1 – Speed Trap – Mountainside
We need an S2 Class car for this, and what better than a BMW X5M FE? Share code for mine is: 519084427.
We need to clear the trap at over 170, and this car should do it easily.
Do so and you’ll find a Super Wheelspin heading your way in return.
Seasonal Championship 1 – City Break
We need to use a Modern Supercar, tuned to S1 Class 900. I chose an Audi R8 V10 5.2 from 2013 and the share code for mine is : 646685057.
For winning out, we can take home a Jaguar i-Pace.
Seasonal Championship 2 – Mini Machines
We need a B Class 700 Mini here, as shocking as that may be!
I chose a X-Raid All4 Racing Countryman and the share code for mine is : 183453347.
The prize for winning is a Chevy Impala, not noticeably Mini!
Seasonal Championship 3 – Out of the Barn
We need a Barn Find tuned to B Class 700 for this event, and so the choice isn’t massive. I went with a stock #1 T100 Baja Truck from Toyota.
A Nissan Titan is the reward.
Seasonal Championship 4 – Bugging Out
We need an Unlimited Buggy tuned to B Class 700 for this event. I went with an Alumicraft Class 10 race car and the share code for mine is : 401432454.
For winning out, we can get a Ford Ute from 2014.
Part 3: Other Challenges
There’s always more to get involved in than just the racing, and that is the case again this week with Series 32 Winter. A Photo Challenge and Horizon Tour this week – Slim pickings!
Photo Challenge – #BURIEDCITY
We have to photograph a Rods and Customs style car in the vicinity of San Juan. Should be pretty straightforward, no?
Enjoy my artistic effort up at the top of this piece. The location you need to be in is below.
The reward? A new top, a Horizon Raptors Tee. Woo.
Horizon Tour – Co-Op championships.
This week it is time to do a bit of the Tour – three races against driverbots, and two point to point races against the rest of the actual people. I can’t suggest a tune as it could be any class, but join and have fun!
The reward? A massive 3 points towards the weekly totals. Well worth the investment of time.
Part 4: Hot Wheels Events
If you have the Hot Wheels expansion and are an Elite Level player, then you get to enjoy a couple of extra events.
Seasonal PR Stunt – Danger Sign – Canyon Jump
Get in an S2 998 car and get jumping about!
I used the Koenigsegg Agera RS, as usual, with share code : 109282883. We need to jump more than 400m. Hit the ramp at over 200 mph to clear it easily.
A Super Wheelspin is your reward.
Seasonal Championship – On Brand
We need to use a Hot Wheels car this week, and the tuning limit is A Class 800. I chose a stock Twin Mill, as it is practically at the tuning limit.
Completing the championship will get us an AMC Gremlin.
Part 5: Rally Adventure Events
The Rally Adventure expansion brings even more events to the roster and provided you are already a Horizon Badlands champion, you’ll get access to the following couple of events…
Seasonal PR Stunt – Speed Zone – La Cantera
Get ready to go in an S2 Class car, any in fact, as you look to blaze the zone at over 95 mph average to win.
I used the old faithful Koenigsegg Agera RS for this, share code : 109282883. This one is tough, not gonna lie. Cut as much as you dare on the corners.
The prize is another Super Wheelspin. You know, those things we really don’t need…
Seasonal Championship – Hoon-ing Around
An offroad event in a Hoonigan S1 900 Class car means only one thing – time to unleash the Escort RS1800 again! The share code for mine is : 264985022. I love this thing!
For winning either solo or in a convoy, it is a Mazda MX-5 that we can win. I think I prefer the Escort…
The rewards for Series 32 and Spring in Forza Horizon 5
With Series 32 now complete, those new season reward cars are up for grabs. And they are the #2 Audi S1 for 80 points and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder for 160. This is the last week to accumulate enough points to get your sticky mitts on these cars!
Even more Rivals circuits have now been added with Series 32 as well. There is River Scramble and Vista Del Mar Sprint, which does mean that there are only two to go at this month. Put in a clean lap in each to score 4 whole points towards the prize cars.
Grab enough points and Series 32 Spring also sees you given access to the exclusive Jaguar F-Type SVr for 20 points. Additionally, for 40 points we can get a #42 Extreme E, a hard to find car apparently.
Next up. Series 33!?
To enjoy these events in the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges, you’ll need a copy of Forza Horizon 5. It’s available on Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and on the cloud via mobile. The Xbox Store will sort you out with a download.
Let us know in the comments if I have helped, hindered or missed the mark with these tunes.
