Overview
- Series 1, which began Thursday, May 21, runs through June 18 and is the game’s inaugural month‑long live season focused on Japanese car culture.
- Players unlock the Festival Playlist after earning a first Wristband, roughly an hour of play, and then complete weekly, time‑gated challenges to earn Playlist points.
- Each week’s Playlist awards two main cars and assorted credits, Wheelspins and cosmetics, with Week 1 Summer rewards including the Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR.
- Two month‑long reward thresholds let players claim the 2008 Mazda Furai at 60 Series points and the 2010 Nissan 370Z at 120 Series points while lifetime Playlist points feed the new Series History Rewards system.
- The season’s mix of seasonal championships, PR stunts, treasure hunts, photo challenges and multiplayer modes mirrors past Horizon playlists and sets the monthly cadence for future Series updates.
