Time waits for no man, as the saying goes, and so it proves as Autumn rolls into Mexico in Forza Horizon 5<\/strong><\/a> and with the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges. We\u2019ve got some flamingos to catch!<\/p>\n

Far from being a season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, what Autumn brings to us is a new raft of events to try our hands at, and so I\u2019m here, once again, with hopefully some useful tips and tunes to help you get the most out of the new week. No, no, you\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\n

With the usual mix of racing and PR Stuntery to go at, in addition to the new Treasure Hunt, which needs us to explore a bit, let\u2019s jump straight in and see what is going on!<\/p>\n

Part 1: Weekly Car Challenge \u2013 No Compromise<\/h2>\n

The subject of this week\u2019s car challenge is a truly ridiculous vehicle, the Ram 2500 Power Wagon from 2017. This is an enormous beast, and while it is capable of pulling massive loads, racing may be a little bit out of its comfort zone.<\/p>\n

Still, should you not have one in your garage, you can grab one from the Autoshow for 47,000 credits.<\/p>\n

Chapter 1 \u2013 Power Wagon<\/h3>\n

Get in your new car, take it for a spin. Step one complete!<\/p>\n

Chapter 2 \u2013 Game Face<\/h3>\n

Now we have to win a Dirt race in this behemoth.<\/p>\n

In stock trim it is out-accelerated by tortoises, so I tuned mine up a bit to make a closely guarded secret, as the game refuses to show me the cars I add until days later. Sigh. Do a search for my gamertag, Red620Ti, and hopefully it will show up.<\/p>\n

Chapter 3 \u2013 Heavy Hitter<\/h3>\n

With a curb weight in excess of 7000 pounds, this thing is likely to come out on top in any kind of collision. Prove this is the fact by earning a Wrecking Ball\u201d skill, which is achieved by getting multiple wreckage skills in quick succession. Go smash stuff, basically. <\/p>\n

Chapter 4 \u2013 Clearing a Path<\/h3>\n

Now we need to win three stars at Trail Blazers, luckily not all in the same run. Pick your favourite one and let it rip, the tune from above should help..<\/p>\n

And with that, the weekly challenge is complete and we are five points closer to the reward cars of Series 21.<\/p>\n

Part 2: Weekly Challenges, Championships and PR Stunts<\/h2>\n

As Autumn has appeared, we have new events to try our hands at. Loads of them in fact. <\/p>\n

The Trial \u2013 Oooh\u2026 Barranca<\/h3>\n

The Trial this week promises to be a little more sedate than usual, as the car tuning limit is C Class 600, and the car class is Retro Rally. I went for a Toyota Celica ST205, with a share code of : 861264673.<\/p>\n

Now, as usual, we need to hopefully find some random players from the internet who have not only heard of teamwork, but choose to practise it, and so this is a challenge. Still, fingers crossed, eh?<\/p>\n

Should we manage to win best two out of three races, a lovely Bentley Bentayga is our reward.<\/p>\n

Eventlab 1 \u2013 Jamesmiata presents By Land, Air and Sea<\/h3>\n

Now, this is a little different and we need to use an Off Road capable vehicle, in an A Class 800 range. I went for a Jeep Trailcat, with the share code: 118411445.<\/p>\n

The track is billed as a \u201ctechnical stunt track\u201d, and while this is true, it is actually pretty good fun. I know, for the second time ever, I enjoyed an Eventlab!<\/p>\n

The prize for zooming around? An Ford GT70 from 1970. Angular.<\/p>\n

Horizon Arcade  \u2013 Any<\/h3>\n

We need to complete a series of three rounds in any Horizon Arcade flavour this week.<\/p>\n

The choices are Speed, Wreckage, Chaos, Drift and Air, and of these, Drift is clearly the best. A Bone stock Formula Drift Mk IV Supra is all you need to win this event solo, but if other people join in, even better. <\/p>\n

Whichever type of event you like, complete all three rounds to earn 3 points towards the weekly prize.<\/p>\n

PR Stunt 1 \u2013 Danger Sign \u2013 Salto de Rio<\/h3>\n

Step forward the BMW X5M Forza Edition, with share code: 519084427.<\/p>\n

For such a big car, this thing certainly does like to fly, and with the approach to this Danger Sign being off road it should serve us well yet again. We need to clear over 180  metres in order to be successful.<\/p>\n

A Super Wheelspin will be yours if you drive fast enough. And stick the landing of course\u2026 As there are a couple of inconvenient buildings, try to launch straight.<\/p>\n

\n

PR Stunt 2 \u2013 Speed Trap \u2013 Dust Bowl<\/h3>\n

Stay in the X5M from above for this event, as it is certainly more than capable off road.<\/p>\n

We need to zoom past the camera at above 160 mph this week, and approaching in as straight a line as possible will help. The approach from the south is marginally easier.<\/p>\n

Another Super Wheelspin awaits. <\/p>\n

Seasonal Championship 1 \u2013 Rally Good Time<\/h3>\n

We need to use any Rally Monster vehicle for this set of races, as long as they are in the A Class 800 range of tuning, anyway.<\/p>\n

I decided to go with a Hoonigan Escort Cossie \u201cCossie V2\u201d, as the choice wasn\u2019t massive to begin with.<\/p>\n

The share code is : 140648350.<\/p>\n

For winning outright solo, or best two out of three in a convoy, we can take home a Maserati Levante. Not sure if I like the idea of all these sports car manufacturers making SUVs, to be honest.<\/p>\n

Seasonal Championship 2 \u2013 Ready for Liftoff<\/h3>\n

This series of races requires an Unlimited Offroad vehicle, to a limit of A Class 800, and so I went with the same Jeep Trailcat as above, share code : 118411445, in case you forgot.<\/p>\n

For winning best two out of three in a convoy, or the whole thing solo, a Ford Escort from 1973 will be yours. Drift-tastic!<\/p>\n

Part 3: Other Challenges<\/h2>\n

Series 21 \u2013 Autumn places some focus on the usual Photo Challenge, a Treasure Hunt and a Collectibles challenge. And the Eliminator also makes a return this week.<\/p>\n

Photo Challenge \u2013 #Bighorn<\/h3>\n

This week, the challenge is to take a car, of any flavour, to the north of Mulege, and take a wildlife photo near the camera equipment there. If that sounds rather vague, well, it does to me too. Also quite a lot like last week\u2019s challenge<\/strong><\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll post the location and my artistic effort below for your admiration\/ridicule.<\/p>\n

The reward? A new Forzalink phrase, \u201cI\u2019m the GOAT\u201d. Marvellous.<\/p>\n

Treasure Hunt \u2013 Finders Keepers<\/h3>\n

This Treasure Hunt seems a little different, this week as we have to find all three of the weekly Pathfinder Challenges in the Accolades page. Only then can the treasure be ours.<\/p>\n

The three challenges in question are all trails to find, marked at the start by a pair of green balloons  and then there are a series of red balloons to follow, until the trail ends at more green balloons. They aren\u2019t tricky to follow, so go nuts.<\/p>\n

They start in San Sebastian, Pantano de la Selva and Estadio South<\/p>\n

The location of the treasure chest is shown below, and it has 250,000 credits inside.<\/p>\n

Collectible Challenge \u2013 Flamingo Falls<\/h3>\n

We need to drive around Cascadas de Agua Azul, and smash 10 flamingos. Cardboard cutouts, that is, not the actual bird. What could be better, eh?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll stick a picture of what we are looking for below.<\/p>\n

For completing this challenge, we can get a Farid Rueda Lion Face Mask.Groovy.<\/p>\n

The Eliminator \u2013 Battle Royale<\/h3>\n

This week, for a change, we have to snake it into the top 30 competitors in the Eliminator. Hide in a bush, do battle, drive around aimlessly, whatever tactic you employ needs to keep you in it for a bit.<\/p>\n

If you can survive, there\u2019s an X5M in it for you.<\/p>\n

Part 4: Hot Wheels Events<\/h2>\n

If you have the Hot Wheels expansion<\/strong><\/a> and are an Elite Level player, then you get to enjoy a couple of extra events.<\/p>\n

Seasonal PR Stunt \u2013 Danger Sign \u2013 Canyon Fire<\/h3>\n

Can you fly, Bobby? We need to clear a distance of over 500 m, so we will need a bit of a run up! <\/p>\n

Well, if any car can do it, it\u2019s that old faithful, the Koenigsegg Agera RS, and my share code is: 109282883. Hitting the ramp at 220mph saw me jump 580 m, so this is a piece of cake!<\/p>\n

A Super wheelspin is your reward.<\/p>\n

Seasonal Championship \u2013 Super Loops<\/h3>\n

Now we are talking. A Hot Wheels event, with Modern Super Cars to S1 Class 900? Much better!<\/p>\n

Of course, it has to be the lovely Nissan GT-R that gets the nod, and the share code is :972597860<\/p>\n

We can get a new hat for winning out, a \u201cFarid Rueda Bear\u201d one. Yay.<\/p>\n

Part 5: Rally Adventure Events<\/h2>\n

The Rally Adventure expansion<\/strong><\/a> brings even more events to the roster and provided you are already a Horizon Badlands champion, you\u2019ll get access to\u2026 <\/p>\n

Seasonal PR Stunt \u2013 Speed Zone \u2013 Tierra Verdes<\/h3>\n

An off road Speed Zone? What car could possibly make the target speed of 72 mph average? I reached for the BMW X5M FE, with share code : 519084427. This is a very tricky course, and while the speed may seem low, the corners are tight and unforgiving.<\/p>\n

A Super Wheelspin is the prize.<\/p>\n

Seasonal Championship \u2013 Time Warp<\/h3>\n

A retro Saloon, eh? And only to B Class 700? Well, for the small choice, I went with a Sierra Cosworth RS500, and the share code is: 156659146. Can\u2019t go wrong with a Cossie, as I always say!<\/p>\n

The prize for winning out, whether solo or in a convoy, is a Macarena emote. Lovely.<\/p>\n

\n

With Series 21 underway, new monthly rewards are up for grabs. For a mere 80 points, you can take home a Wuling Sunshine and for 160 points you can have an Audi RS7 2021.<\/p>\n

The monthly Rivals challenges are also live, with them both being EV challenges, one in Ek\u2019Balam and the other using a Cupra Tavascan Concept car. Make sure you take these in at some point during Series 21 \u2013 unless you did them last week?<\/p>\n

Grab enough points and Autumn also brings new prizes \u2013 the Ford F-150 \u201886 for 20 points and the #44 Extreme E for 40 points.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s your lot for this week and our little guide to the best cars and tunes of Forza Horizon 5\u2019s Series 21 Autumn. <\/p>\n

To enjoy these events in the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges, you\u2019ll need a copy of Forza Horizon 5. It\u2019s available on Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and on the cloud via mobile. The Xbox Store<\/strong><\/a> will sort you out with a download. <\/p>\n

As always, the comments section is below. We\u2019d love to know if these cars and tunes have helped you out. And if they don\u2019t, we\u2019d like to know that too. Because well, then we can make better, faster cars. <\/p>\n
