Seriously, though, this is exactly the right time to get these accolades while there are very few times posted. Especially if you’re a 💩 racer like me. While the other 8,000,000+ players are busy with road discovery and barn finds and unlocking Horizon hubs, go to Horizon Open > Rivals and then pick a track at random. I went with road racing and the Dunas Blancas Sprint. I started at Class D and worked my way up. Every car I used was 100% stock, and I posted a top 5% time first time in every race. The prize cars are worth it.

You can force the game to update or refresh the thumbnail of a car by changing a visual upgrade. For example the 2 cars gifted by the devs so far (Corvette C8 with Day of the Dead livery and Porsche 918 with 20Y Xbox anniversary livery) have a special livery but it doesn’t show on the thumbnail when you receive the cars. Simply install for example the Forza aero spoiler (or a new rim style or something), save and the thumbnail will refresh. You can remove whatever you changed again afterwards.

Had an... interesting occurrence in Eliminator. Was racing a guy to a checkpoint, when the "arena shrinking" alarm came up, and the checkpoint abruptly shifted about 500 yards to a different road. The end result...
About a half dozen of us couldn't finish our head to head races because the checkpoint wasn't where the map said it was, and we all ended up getting timed out. I dunno what happened, but it actually looked like the checkpoint marker just fell through the map as it got moved, so... figure that one out.

Or if you have 388,000 Cr and don't want to wait, hover your cursor over the S7 in the Car Collection screen in the pause menu, then exit and then re-enter. It'll then give you the option to purchase it using the Y button or equivalent.
It's probably cheaper to buy them out at the default price of 273,000 Cr but this tip can still help with some of the harder to find cars. Note that this only works with wheelspin exclusives which are the first car in their manufacturer category as the cursor jumps back to the first position when re-entering Car Collection.

You’re welcome. ☺️ It’s been like that for many games, I think FH3 or even earlier. So go back to those games and do the same trick there. 😄
in FH4 I didn‘t care about the gifted cars and immediately put them on the AH. In FH5 I decided to collect them once again (like I did in FH3). I really like the DOTD livery on the Corvette C8 they gifted during early access weekend, especially with the StreetHunter wide body kit on it (see screenshot below).
Also, you absolutely have to try the C8 with the “upgrade heroes” wide body kit (thus NOT going via the custom upgrades menu and install the wide body from there). If you go via upgrade heroes, additional upgrades and a great tune are installed as well, it becomes a very grippy and competitive S1 900 car. I used it to set a top 5% rivals time on that very first rivals racing circuit near the west coast (a very fun circuit for hot lapping).
Also, with all those upgrades installed the car sounds absolutely amazing from cockpit view, sounds like a powerful GTE race machine. My favourite car in regards to sound by far at this moment! 🤩 When I first discovered this I went back and forth several times between the stock C8 (I factory reset the C8 you start the game with) and this DOTD with the S1 900 StreetHunter widebody upgrades just to hear the differences in car sound. Absolutely brilliant what a difference in sound those upgrades can do!

Made a screenshot edit of Doug DeMuro's own 2020 Land Rover Defender.
A bit of a shame it doesn't have the plastic extended wheel arches as a customisation option.

Yes, this. The in-game Accolade tracks properly, but the Xbox Live Achievement does not (as it didn't with FH4).
For those of you looking to count your cacti (ugh) for the Playlist reward, there is an Accolade for smashing 500 cactuses during Wet season - which handily is right now - that tracks the number. It'll be accurate and useful only for this current season though, so it won't work if that challenge ever comes up again. Which it will.

Hmm. There's an Accolade for getting three stars at any speed trap in an X class car. Can't trigger it at all - pinning the accolade gives me the requirements, and ticks the box that I'm driving the correct car (tried an X999 Ferrari 599 and an X999 Aston Martin Valhalla), but it won't give me the three-star part.
I've tried getting three stars a speed trap I've already passed, and three stars at a brand new speed trap. Nothing.
In other news, I have 67 of the 64 points available this season, with one still to get. Not sure how that works...

Ok, this is getting annoying, I can't believe that with 9 million players now, no one ever shows up for an arcade drift event! It's either that, or I'm disconnected and I don't know about it. Either way, completely broken, just as the cactus hunting. That's 6 points I don't get from the Forzathon. And the store is still broken.

The store hasn't been implemented yet, hopefully we get an update this week.

Go to Accolades, Discovery & Collection, and look at the top one on column six. That'll track your cactus smashing, but only right now during the Wet Season.
I can only confirm mine is also not fetching anything. One of our colleague sites has a store listing though, which is odd.

It definitely went up when I did that, from three to seven. I've also had those four points added to the other three seasons and, very weirdly, I actually have seven points already for winter!
I'm half wondering if the Daily Challenges I did in Season 0 have been included for some reason.
