The seasonal Playground Games is called Party Time and has the classic 1981 Ford Fiesta as the reward. The Horizon Tour also offers 3 playlist points if you participate in that.
PR stunts
This week, the PR stunts for the season are the Avenida speed trap, the Orilla Del Rio speed zone and the Los Jardines danger sign. Each of these earn you 2 playlist points. Los Jardines is all about getting a good exit from the corner at the end of the highway, but you also need a clean landing!
