Seasonal Prizes:

Toyota Celica ‘03 at 40pts (not previously available)

Forzathon Weekly Challenge: No Expense Spared (5pts, 80/160FP)
Drive the 2010 Lexus LFA (in Autoshow for 500,000CR)
Hit a speed of 200mph/321.9km/h - it can barely be done stock, requiring a downhill to get it over the mark. Run the freeway from east to west.
Win 2 Road Circuits - you can use your own created events for this, but they must be on the original routes. 1 lap, 1 opponent is fine, but no exceedingly short tracks.
Drive for 20miles/32.2km

Forzathon Daily (1pt, 10/20FP each)
Day 1: Create and publish an Event Blueprint using EventLab
Day 2: Reach 140mph during a Horizon Story chapter (suggestions: final chapter of V10 or chapter 3 of Test Driver: Apex; both of these let you drive the Koenigsegg Jesko)
Day 3: Beat any Rivals Ghost (can double with monthly Rivals)
Day 4: Complete Rd3 of Horizon Arcade in any Audi
Day 5: Unlock a Car Mastery
Day 6: Win a Dirt Scramble in an S1 class car
Day 7: Smash five traffic cones

Horizon Arcade (3pts, 30/60FP)
Three rounds needed. Hold off until day 4 to double with the daily Forzathon.

The Trial: Winner Winner (10pts, Jaguar E-Type)
Rare Classics, B 700

EventLab: Stunters Paradise (3pts, Wheelspin)
Unlimited Off-road, A 800 - no particular catches here, it’s just a props course. No opponents to beat, so don’t worry about racing. Make sure your vehicle can climb steep slopes, though.

Playground Games: Soaked (3pts, Forza Link message “I’m the Best at Games”)
UTVs, A 800; arena is the Baja circuit. Doubles with Horizon Open (infect another player).

PR Stunts
Danger Sign: Colina (2pts, Wheelspin)
C 600, Rods and Customs, needs 178m - the number needed here is less than two stars, but it’s compensating for the low class.
Speed Zone: Ringroad (2pts, Wheelspin)
B 700, Toyota Supra ‘98 (stock is B 646), needs 138.4km/h. I think it’s possible with a perfect run as stock, but it’ll definitely be easier if you upgrade.
Trailblazer: Desert Descent (2pts, SUPER Wheelspin) - new Trailblazer this series!
A 800, #25 Ford Bronco (as won in Buggy and the Beast showcase, or in the Come Rain or Shine championship), needs 25s left. Required time is equal to 3 stars. Again, in class as stock. A good starting line angle, judicious use of rewinds, and patience before making the final hill climb should do enough without needing to upgrade.

Seasonal Championship: Come Rain or Shine (5pts, #25 Ford Bronco)
Unlimited Off-road, A 800
Seasonal Championship: Grand Gesture (5pts, Maserati GT-S)
GT Cars, S1 900
Seasonal Championship: A Mini Adventure (5pts, Mini JCW Buggy)
Mini, B 700
Horizon Tour (3pts)

Photo Challenge: #HEARDINGCATS (2pts, Cat Meow horn)
Take a picture of any Jaguar at the Lion Mural in Playa Azul ()

Horizon Open: I’m Gonna Get Ya! (2pts, Mexican Traffic Light)
Infect another player in Playground Games

The Eliminator (2pts, Spaik Sundress)
Top 30 or better

Collectibles: Lights Out (3pts, 25,000CR)
Hit 25 solar panels. Main source is the small solar farm just south of the highway.

Super7 prize watch: Maserati Gran Turismo FE

# Autumn/Storm Season

Seasonal Prizes:
2013 Donkervoort GTO at 25pts (new to game)
2016 Toyota AT37 at 40pts (new to game)

##Forzathon Events
Forzathon Weekly Challenge: Blower Bentley (5pts, 80/160FP)
- Drive the 1930 Bentley 4-1/2 Litre Supercharged (in Autoshow for 4,000,000CR) (yes, the text says 1931; the actual car year is 1930)
- Earn 9 stars from Speed Zones
- Win 3 Road Racing series events
- Drive 100 miles/160.9 km. No, that is not a typo. One hundred miles.
Given that the car as stock is D 207, the first thing you will want is a tune. Take whatever you feel happy with; obviously, the higher the tune, the faster the tasks will be knocked out. I settled on an A 800. Speed zones are probably going to be two stars per pass at this rate; I chose to grind Punta Allen (just south-west of the main Festival site); another good one might be Cliffside (the one around the Horizon Rush outpost).
For Road Racing series events, you CAN use EventLab - as long as you use the original route. This means you can turn off opponent Drivatars, and set laps to one, and it will count. The fastest circuits, I estimate, are Bahía de Plano and Emerald, both on the west coast. (Other tracks may be shorter, but less high-speed.) 134 208 420 and 959 330 011 - you’re welcome.
Then - hoo, boy - one hundred miles. You could just cruise it, you could use the skill point farming AFK technique, or… you could double it with something useful for your accolades and use it to register Rivals times on tracks you haven’t done yet. Go set that Rivals time on the Goliath for a good chunk of distance; it doesn’t have to be fast for the accolade, it just has to be clean.

Forzathon Daily (1pt, 10/20FP each)
Day 1: Drive 10 miles in Horizon Tour events (obviously doubles with Horizon Tour)
Day 2: Complete any Festival Playlist activity (doubles with… anything; even later daily Forzathons)
Day 3: Win 2 Road Racing series events in any Jaguar (same tips apply as in Weekly Forzathon re: 1 lap trick)
Day 4: Bank an Ultimate Skill Chain (base points value of 20,000 before multipliers)
Day 5: Take a picture at Sierra Verde Dam (just east of Mulegé)
Day 6: Spend 50,000CR on upgrades
Day 7: Reach 100mph/160.9 km/h in any Expedition

##Season Events
Horizon Arcade (3pts, 30/60FP)
Three rounds needed.

The Trial: Baja California (10pts, Super Wheelspin)
Dirt, Unlimited Off-road, A 800

Playground Games: Temple Runner (3pts, 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR)
Retro Rally, B 700, Ek’ Balam

PR Stunts
Danger Sign: Eagle’s Perch (2pts, Wheelspin)
Mitsubishi, B 700. You need 234m here, good for two stars. The stock ‘99 Evo VI is *just* not quite quick enough; I had it fall less than a meter short on its best run. Tuned to top of class and it made it.
Speed Trap: Swamplands (2pts, Wheelspin)
Ferrari F40, A 800. Another money sink after the Bentley, with the F40 costing 1.2m CR. On the plus side, there’s not much needed for parts here, as with a clean line, it can clear it stock. Target is 238.2km/h, also good for two stars.
Speed Zone: Watersplash (2pts, Wheelspin)
Classic Rally, B 700. Minimum speed is 132km/h; you guessed it, two stars. I already had a Mini at class top, so that was my pick.

Seasonal Championship: Welcome to the Jungle (5pts, Tiger Roar car horn)
Cross-Country, Jeep Trailcat, A 800
Welcome to the jungle, we’ve got graft and pain… it’s all about the tune in this one. Though they may look similar with the numbers, an XC tune will drastically outperform an off-road tune here. Since the AI have the same car and PI as you, make sure you spend it in the right places. The weather is absolutely miserable for all the races; the driving line can help direct here.
Don’t sell this car once you’re done; it’s the Forzathon car for next week.
Seasonal Championship: Calm before the Storm (5pts, Ariel Atom)
Street Races, Extreme Track Toys, S2 998
If I had to sum this one up in one word, it would be “punishing”. Have your rewinds on for this one, because if you miss a checkpoint or hit a car, there’s no saving you otherwise. And at S2 speeds, these are very likely things to happen.
Seasonal Championship: Underground, Overground (5pts, 2011 VW Scirocco)
Dirt, Hot Hatch, B 700
Horizon Tour (3pts)
Complete a Co-op Horizon Tour championship

##Challenges
Treasure Hunt: Lucky Skills (3pts, 50,000CR)
“Cause a wreck in the Nissan GT-R ‘17 matching the generation number for tries!” The GT-R of this era has a manufacturer chassis code of CBA-R35 (or DBA-R35 or 4BA-R35, depending on the model year). What we want here is 35 Wreckage skills. Get that and the treasure chest will appear up behind the Eliminator icon on the map, in Valle de Las Rajas; it’s on top of the reddish cliff on the left when approaching from the south, opposite the balancing rock. The image in the Festival Playlist will also show where it is at this point; check if you need an extra hint.

Photo Challenge: #PURFECT (2pts, Forza Link message “I’m in the zone!”)
Take a picture of a 1999 Ford Racing Puma in the La Selva region (southern forest). Forza Edition car will NOT count.
