Win the DeLorean this week

For the season, 26 points earns you the DeLorean DMC-12 and 46 points the Aston Martin DBS SL. This is out of 64 points available, so both are very achievable.

Lastly, smash 100 cacti for 3 playlist points and the phrase "Gotta smash em all!" which wouldn't be a great phrase to use on the Trial.
