Winter is arriving in Forza Horizon 5, and with a new season comes a new batch of challenges and reward cars to earn. Here's everything awaiting players in the Forza Horizon 5 FORDzathon Winter Festival Playlist.
Forza Horizon 5 FORDzathon Winter
The Forza Horizon 5 FORDzathon Winter season starts on 18 January at 2:30pm GMT / 9:30am ET. As always, the season will last for seven days, ending on 25 January at 2:30pm GMT / 9:30am ET.
With a Series called FORDzathon, you would expect the Season Progress cars to only be Fords. That’s not the case though as one of them is the Renault Clio R.S. 16 Concept at 20 points. You can also earn the Ford GT ’05 at 40 points.
Reward cars
Six more Fords can also be won in this week’s festival playlist. Complete The Trial, and the ferocious Ford Shelby GT350R is yours.
Additionally, you can also earn the high-performance Ford Supervan 3, Ford Escort RS1800, and Ford SVT Cobra R ’93 by completing the seasonal championships. There’s also the Ford M-Sport Fiesta RS hot hatch, which is rewarded for completing The Eliminator Battle Royale challenge.
For Hot Wheels expansion owners, the Ford F-150 Raptor ’17 is up for grabs if you complete the Seasonal Championship. Completing additional challenges also wins you two Super Wheelspins and the Green Pinata Head clothing item.
Completing these challenges will help you earn enough points to win the MG MG6 XPower (80 points) and 1965 Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Ford Hoonicorn Mustang Season Progress cars when the season ends.
Photo Challenge - #FORDZAthon
This week’s #FORDZAthon photo challenge tasks you with snapping a shot of the 1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo in Guanajuato for a Fireworks car horn reward.
Treasure Hunt - Ford Time Lucky
After a hiatus for the last few weeks, Treasure Hunts are back. The clue for the Ford Time Lucky Treasure Hunt is “Make sure to escape in time, as you get lucky by drifting up close.”
