I'm having problems with the first one. No matter how many bucket lists I do (and yes, I'm doing them in the mountains), I can't unlock it. What exactly do they mean by a street race? Head to Head? A circuit race? What?

I haven't started on the 15 races in a rally monster, but I'm already not sure what they mean. There aren't any exhibition races in Blizzard Mountain. Just the King of the Hill or whatever it's called, championships and rivals.

Forget about Blizzard Mountain and go back to the main map. Street Races are a category there. And you can do the 15 Rally Monster races there as well. As has been mentioned though, the Subaru won't unlock due to a bug.
 
I finally finished the Forzathon for this weekend. No Subaru prize car, but I wasn't expecting it considering the glitch. But at least I got the achievement and should be awarded the car once the glitch is resolved. I forgot that Street Races were a separate category back in the main map. I was thinking of races on Blizzard Mountain. After all, the tagline for this Forzathon is "Horizon Celebrates Blizzard Mountain"... by leaving Blizzard Mountain apparently.
 
Just a note on the current Forzathon regarding the Wrecking Ball skills. Apparently progress doesn't register unless you are using a totally stock car.

But some say they did get the achievement with tuned cars, so it's still 50/50 in that regard, I believe. I'll test just in case, with a tuned car, and see what happens...

Late edit: I tested getting the Wrecking Ball skills with a combination of tuned cars (a Bluebird and a Corolla SR5), and the game registered my Forzathon achievement as complete. A few runs destroying lights at the airport are useful to complete this, if you keep in mind that the underpass concrete structures can cause you to go on two wheels...

What do you actually need to do to trigger Wrecking Ball?

Chain Wrecking skills in a row (basically smash multiple objects in a row without losing the combo).

I had trouble with an S1 Fairlady Z, full body kit and also with a seemingly stock Sunbeam Tiger.

Then perhaps it's a server thing? I tuned both my Corolla and my Bluebird (the latter of which had a RB26 swap, of all things), and the skills were all registered... The Corolla wasn't maxed out by any means, but it wasn't stock either.
 
From Week in Review: https://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/wir_1_13_17

"One note about this week’s events: For the “Inconveivable!” event, we have discovered an issue with several Cult Classic cars not counting Wrecking Ball Skills correctly. As a result, it is not possible to complete this particular event with a subset of Cult Classic cars, including:


  • 1969 Fairlady Z 432
  • 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo
  • 1967 Sunbeam Tiger
  • 1973 Skyline H/T 2000GT-R
  • 1971 Meyers Manx
  • 1972 Reliant Supervan III


Other Cult Classic models, such as the 1967 Volvo 123GT, 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R, 1972 Mazda Cosmo 110S Series II, and others will allow players to complete this event, so choose your car wisely when looking to finish this event."

We finally got #75 Subaru, but Forzathons are still broken... :rolleyes:

If you go to create a custom Bucket List Blueprint you can look up all Skills and their requirements.

I haven't checked, but I believe Wrecking Ball = 2 Ultimate Wreckage Skills within 15 seconds of one another.

They are having a rough start into 2017, give them a break! :D At least they quickly communicate.

Indeed, this is useful in general. The first Horizon explained skills on Club 1000 challenges when required, but 2 never bothered I think and none of the manuals did either.
 
I used my heavily tuned Volvo P1800E for the Inconceivable event and just bounced around the brushier parts of the outback until I got all my wrecking ball skills.
 
I finished this weekend's Forzathon event. 30% discount for Australian cars if there are any missing from your collection. Not a difficult Forzathon. Take place in five Infected games (you don't have to win) for 150,000 credits, win five races in a Mercedes-Benz for three wheelspins, and create and take place in a Bucket List Blueprint to win a sheep horn.
 
Took out a fully tuned BMW i8 with around 617hp (around nearly the same as a McLaren F1) and went as fast as it too on a street race just to get a car I wanted so badly, the W Motors Lykan Hypersport. Now if only I could get my hands on a Centenario...
 
Populuxe Cowboy
Isn't the Centenario given to you at the beginning of the game?
Click to expand...

No, you only get to use it up to the point you unlock the first set of races, than you pick on of the starter cars.

I picked it up when they did the Lambo Forzathon event and all the Lambo's were 30% off plus I used the 5% off perk.
 
It puzzles me why the Centenario remains fairly hard to reach, being the cover car. Not a demo reward like previous games and not a Forzathon or Christmas gift either. Sure they ran the 30% discounts but no way am I going to spend credits for a car that ugly! :P

This week's Forzathon has been slightly buggy for me, the challenges registered but the achievement pop ups didn't appear and I only received the ingame prizes after changing cars.
 
Might as well post this here too:

What Bucket List challenges end in Coober Peddy?
Click to expand...

Creating your own Bucket List and making it end in Coober Peddy is a more hassle-free way to complete that goal. Coober Peddy has a Speed Radar, so it's easy to create a Speed challenge which uses said radar...

I know it's not a direct answer to your condrum, but it worked for me.
 
I'm not going to bother with the Mail Run as I've already got the Xbox Falcon

Just won the Gurkha and Warthog, those were simple enough.

May try the other one later :)
