FH6 Festival Playlist Weekly Tracker — Series 2 Week 1 LIVE · Summer Season (Rallye Golf + Countach LP5000 QV)

Series 1 Welcome to Japan ended this morning at 7:30 AM PDT. Series 2 Horizon Decades is LIVE NOW. The full reset hit Festival Playlist content across all platforms and a brand-new four-week structure starts today — Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring through July 16. Week 1 Summer rewards are the 1989 Volkswagen Rallye Golf at 20 PTS and the 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV at 40 PTS. The series-wide grand prizes are the 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau at 80 PTS and the 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430 at 160 PTS. The Trial returns as a cooperative event for Horizon Legends, a temporary Car Meet location debuts as a new social hub, and the weekly point thresholds have jumped to 20/40 from Series 1's 15/30. Here's everything you need to know about Week 1 plus the full four-week roadmap.

Series 2 At-A-Glance — The Four-Week Calendar

Series 2 follows the same four-week structure as Series 1 but with bigger thresholds and a different theme. The four-week schedule:

• Summer Week (LIVE NOW): June 18 to June 25 — VW Rallye Golf (20 PTS) + Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV (40 PTS)
• Autumn Week: June 25 to July 2 — TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (20 PTS) + Schuppan 962CR (40 PTS) — highest-priority week
• Winter Week: July 2 to July 9 — Dodge Ram SRT-10 (20 PTS) + Ford F-150 SVT Lightning (40 PTS) — American truck week
• Spring Week: July 9 to July 16 — Mercedes-AMG GT R (20 PTS) + Saleen S7 LM (40 PTS) — Series 2 finale

Series 1 points DO NOT carry over. Whatever you ended Series 1 with this morning reset to zero for Series 2 thresholds. The Porsche at 80 PTS and Lotus at 160 PTS are fresh targets — same math as Series 1's Mazda Furai (60 PTS) and Nissan 370Z (120 PTS), just scaled up. Casual route: 20 PTS per week = 80 PTS total = Porsche unlocked. Completionist route: 40 PTS per week = 160 PTS total = Porsche AND Lotus.

Week 1 Summer Reward Cars — Live Now Through June 25

20 PTS — 1989 Volkswagen Rallye Golf

The 1989 Volkswagen Rallye Golf is a Group A rally homologation special — a road-legal version of VW's mid-1980s motorsport program. 1.8L turbocharged engine, syncro AWD, lightweight body, three-door practical hatchback layout. The Rallye Golf was VW's first proper AWD performance car and the foundation of the modern Golf R lineage. Easy day-one Series 2 unlock — most players will hit 20 PTS within the first 60-90 minutes of Summer Week Festival Playlist completion. Priority grind.

40 PTS — 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV

The 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole is THE 1980s supercar icon. 5.2L V12 with four-valve heads producing 455 horsepower, scissor doors, Marcello Gandini's iconic wedge silhouette, top speed verified at 183 mph in period testing. The QV variant was the final development of the Countach platform before the Anniversario edition closed the model run. Returns from Series 1 Winter bonus availability via the Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Drift championship — players who missed it during that week get a second chance via Series 2 Summer Festival Playlist completion at 40 PTS.

The Two Series-Wide Grand Prizes

80 PTS — 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau. The 993-generation lightweight twin-turbo flat-six — 3.6L producing 450 horsepower in a stripped-out body shell. Only around 14 examples were produced in real life. The "Leichtbau" name translates to "lightweight construction" — Porsche removed sound deadening, deleted air conditioning, swapped to thinner glass, and used carbon fibre body panels to chase track performance from a road-legal platform. Achievable in two strong weeks or three casual weeks. Headline collector unlock and the most realistic Series 2 grand prize for most players.

160 PTS — 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430. The completionist target. 3.5L supercharged Toyota V6 producing 430 horsepower in a sub-1,100 kg track-focused chassis — the highest power-to-weight ratio of any Lotus road car at the time of release. Carbon ceramic brakes, adjustable Nitron suspension, aggressive aero. Requires 40 PTS per week consistently across all four seasons. Miss a week and the cleanup grind in the final week is severe. Only chase the Lotus if you can commit roughly 90 minutes of focused Festival Playlist play each week.

The Trial Returns — Week 1 Debut

The Trial debuts today as the most-anticipated returning feature of Series 2. 6 human players cooperatively race 6 Unbeatable AI Drivatars across a three-race championship. Gold Wristband (Horizon Legends rank) is required to participate. Each week brings a new class restriction and bonus reward car — check the in-game Festival Playlist menu for Week 1 Summer specifics.

The Trial is worth roughly 5-8 PTS per week depending on completion. Not required for the 80-PTS Porsche grand prize (you can hit 80 PTS through other playlist activities) but the ONLY way to consistently earn the weekly Trial bonus reward car. Random matchmaking averages ~40% win rate, organized Convoy with 5 friends hits 80%+. See our FH6 The Trial Best Cars Guide for mechanics, scoring system, and best cars per class.

The New Car Meet — Temporary Location Live Today

A temporary Car Meet location debuts today as a new social hub. Players gather to showcase tuned cars and meet other Horizon Legends in real time — a community-requested feature responding to player feedback that Series 1 lacked dedicated social spaces beyond random Festival Site encounters. The location is marked on the in-game map and runs throughout Series 2.

The Car Meet is a Series 2 temporary feature — if Playground reports strong engagement metrics during Series 2, expect a permanent Car Meet location in Series 3 or beyond. For now, treat it as a Series-2-only social activity worth checking out at launch.

Series 1 Wrap-Up — What You Missed (And How to Get It)

Series 1 Welcome to Japan officially closed at 7:30 AM PDT this morning. If you didn't hit 60 PTS for the Mazda Furai or 120 PTS for the Nissan 370Z, those Festival Playlist windows are now permanently closed for Series 1. Same for the 8 weekly cars across Summer/Autumn/Winter/Spring — Toyota Altezza RS200 Z, Lancer Evo IX MR, Skyline GT-R V-Spec, Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, Starlet Glanza V, Corolla SR5, and the others.

The good news: most Series 1 cars cycle into the Aftermarket Cars system. The 25 fixed map locations rotate through Series-exclusive cars with RNG inventory — see our FH6 Aftermarket Cars System Explained for the full mechanic. Cars purchased through Aftermarket Cars come with a 25% discount and pre-tuned bonus, but you wait for the RNG to surface the specific car you want.

The other recovery path: the Auction House. Other players who unlocked Series 1 cars may list them for credits. Prices for Mazda Furai and Nissan 370Z spiked dramatically this morning as Series 1 closed — expect inflated values through the next 7-14 days as supply rebalances. See our FH6 Auction House First-Hour Guide for sniping strategy.

Series History Rewards — Playground's anti-FOMO design choice. Players accumulating lifetime total Playlist Points across all Series eventually unlock exclusive Series History reward cars. This means dedicated long-term players have a third recovery path beyond Aftermarket Cars and Auction House — just keep earning Festival Playlist points across future Series.

How to Approach Week 1 Strategically

Day-one priority (first 60-90 minutes): Complete the Summer Week Seasonal Championship for fast point accumulation. Most players hit 15-18 PTS through Seasonal Championship + 2-3 PR Stunts + Treasure Hunt completion. Polish off to 20 PTS with daily challenges and bank the Volkswagen Rallye Golf. That's your Week 1 minimum target — everything beyond is bonus.

Next 60-90 minutes (if pushing for Countach): Complete the remaining Seasonal Championships, the Weekly Challenge chain, and any Daily Challenges to reach 40 PTS. The Countach unlock is genuinely worth the time — even if you missed it in Series 1 Winter, this is your second-chance window via Series 2 Festival Playlist.

If chasing the 160-PTS Lotus: Hit 40 PTS THIS week. Miss it and the per-week minimum jumps to 53 PTS for the remaining three weeks, which becomes brutal in Week 4. The Lotus rewards consistency over crunch — pace evenly across all four weeks rather than crunching Week 1 and burning out.

If you're chasing The Trial day-one access: Push Gold Wristband before tomorrow morning if you're at Silver. See our FH6 Wristband Progression Explained for the XP-to-tier breakdown and our FH6 Skill Chain Guide for the 9x multiplier route that accelerates XP fastest.

The Bottom Line

Series 2 Week 1 Summer is LIVE. Today's targets in order: hit 20 PTS for the Volkswagen Rallye Golf first, push to 40 PTS for the Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV if you have time, then start the long climb toward 80 PTS for the Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau across the next two weeks. The 160 PTS Lotus is only realistic for committed players running 40 PTS every single week.

Series 1 wrap-up reality: Mazda Furai and Nissan 370Z are now permanently out of Festival Playlist availability. If you didn't unlock them, the Aftermarket Cars system or Auction House are your recovery paths — neither is fast, neither is guaranteed. Series History Rewards will eventually surface as a third option for dedicated long-term players.
