• 40 PTS: 2016 Zenvo TS1

Get Up to Speed with an everyday sports car, the 2010 Audi TT RS Coupé, in the latest Weekly Forzathon Challenge. It’s the German coupé that has roots in a famous motorcycle race and made its Beetle brother look bloated by comparison.



Once you’ve boosted your Forzathon Points balance, spend it all in the Forzathon Shop where you’ll find the 2008 Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa and the 2019 McLaren 720S Spider, as well as the Mechanical Whizz car horn and the Donut Media Grey Leaf Cap for your character.

It’s the last of the weekly Bumper 2 Bumper events in The Trial and the prize is unmissable. Team up with your friends, overtake the Drivatars and secure the podium to receive the 2018 McLaren 600LT Coupé.



Seasonal Playground Games are on the calendar this week. Participate to drive away in the 2003 Audi RS 6, the ultimate proof of your mastery of Team Flag Rush.

Meanwhile, a trio of Super Wheelspins await in this week’s Seasonal PR Stunts. Overtake the records at the Vado Del Río Speed Trap, the Los Jardines Danger Sign and the Ringroad Speed Zone. Unlock a fourth by mastering the Ice Cauldron Drift Zone.



Seasonal Championships this week include a crown jewel of incredible car rewards, including the 2017 Ferrari 812 Superfast, the 1970 Ford GT70, and the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S. Over in Hot Wheels Park, we’re concluding the Joy of Cars with the 1958 Morris Minor 1000 up for grabs.

Additional points for the Festival Playlist can be scored in the Horizon Tour, which are co-op championships playable with friends where you take on Drivatars.



This week’s Photo Challenge features the 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z at the Horizon Festival México. Capture it to unlock the “Snap!” emote.

Prove your finesse in the Horizon Super7 by mastering a series of seven unique challenges created by the community. Complete it this week to receive the 2017 Bentley Continental Supersports.

That’s it for Donut Media at Horizon. Play these events and unlock the associated rewards in Forza Horizon 5 this week, and we’ll see you next time for the Horizon Holidays.
