The new Forza Horizon 5 Donut Media Series is live, bringing a brand new Horizon Story plus a raft of new challenges and reward cars. Without further ado, let’s dive into the Forza Horizon 5 Donut Media Summer Festival Playlist.
Donut Media Summer
Forza Horizon 5 Donut Media Summer starts today (10 November) at 14:30 GMT/14:30 UTC and ends on 17 November at 14:30 GMT/14:30 UTC.
Series 14 is inspired by automotive YouTube channel Donut Media. A new five-part Horizon Story sees you collaborate with Donut Media’s James Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes, who appear as in-game characters, to build a custom rally car and take on novelty challenges.
This week’s Season Reward cars for completing objectives are the new-to-Forza #100 Lynk&Co 03 (20 points) and the Ascari KZ1R (40 points)
Reward cars
Seven more reward cars are up for grabs by completing the various Festival Playlist can be yours.
The incredible Lamborghini Aventador '12 can be yours for completing The Trial. The Boost Creeps Seasonal Championship unlocks the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon while the Wheelhouse Seasonal Championship gets you the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 '16.
