The first Festival Playlist of Series 9 is in full swing, and while Playground Games has already provided some info about what’s new compared to previous events, nothing can prepare us for the real thing. As usual, all points players earn across all four seasons of Series 9 – Hot Wheels, can be used to unlock two specific cars that, in this case, are quite rare: 1969 Hot Wheels Twin Mill (80 points) and 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT (160 points).
However, this season alone, Forza Horizon 5 players can unlock two other important cars. Keep in mind though that you’ll need 60 points to unlock both and the Summer “Wet” Season that has just debuted only awards 53.
2018 Hot Wheels 2JetZ (20 points – new Seasonal Exclusive car)
2012 Aventador J (40 points – Exclusive car)
Moving on to this season’s Forzathon Events, there’s really nothing new compared to the previous Festival Playlists in terms of layout and number of challenges. As always, you can use the points earned by completing these events in the Forzathon Shop if you see something that piqued your interest.
These four challenges must be completed in sequence for completion.
