Festival Playlist — Series 1 Spring Guide
Time-limited — don't miss these cars
Festival Playlist reward cars cannot be bought in the Autoshow once the season ends. The only way to get them is to reach the Playlist Point milestones during the active week. This page is updated every Thursday when the playlist resets.
How the Festival Playlist works
The Festival Playlist gives you a set of weekly challenges, championships, and online events. Completing them earns Playlist Points. Reaching 20 and 40 Playlist Points unlocks exclusive seasonal reward cars. Most activities are worth 2–5 points each.
There are four weeks per Series (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter). Each week has a different set of challenges but the milestone rewards are tied to the full Series. At the end of Series 1, a new Series begins with entirely new reward cars.
Series 1 milestone rewards

How many points do you need?
| Goal | Points needed | Minimum activities |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota GR Corolla | 20 pts | 4–5 activities (skip The Trial if you don't want to play online) |
| Nissan R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nür | 40 pts | All weekly activities + some from the Series total |
| Completion bonus | 80 pts (Series total) | Complete activities across all 4 weeks of Series 1 |
Skip The Trial if you're a solo player
The Trial is a co-op event requiring 6 players to beat Unbeatable AI. It gives 5 points but is the hardest activity each week. You can still reach 40 pts by completing all other activities across multiple weeks. Don't let The Trial block your seasonal progress.
