Introduction to the Festival of Speed Challenge
The “Festival of Speed” is a recurring Daily Challenge in the Forza Horizon 5 Festival Playlist. To earn your points, you don’t need to be the highest scorer in the group, but you must be present and active through the completion of Round 3. Using a high-performance EV like the Rimac Concept Two ensures you can bridge the gap between objectives quickly.
Round 1: Get To the Speed Trap
In the first round of a Speed Arcade event, players are typically tasked with hitting a specific Speed Trap multiple times to contribute to a group total score. The key here is to maintain a high entry speed and quickly turn around after passing the camera to maximize your number of runs before the timer expires.
Ensure your 2019 Rimac Concept Two is hitting top gear as you approach the trap. With its incredible acceleration, you can reach 200+ mph in just a few seconds, making this round trivial even if you are playing solo.
Round 2: Limit Breaker
Round 2 often features the “Limit Breaker” objective, which requires players to maintain a speed above a certain threshold (usually 100-150 mph) for a cumulative amount of time. The Rimac is perfect for this as its electric drivetrain provides instant torque, allowing you to stay above the limit even when navigating traffic or slight turns in the road.
If you find yourself losing speed, avoid heavy braking. Focus on smooth steering inputs to keep your momentum high. If you drop below the limit, the counter stops, so keep the throttle pinned and find a long stretch of road like the main highway.
Round 3: Speed Zone
The final stage is the Speed Zone round. This requires the group to accumulate a specific average speed across a designated zone. In Forza Horizon 5, Speed Zones can be tricky due to tighter corners, but the Rimac Concept Two’s all-wheel-drive system provides the necessary grip to power out of the turns.
Once Round 3 is completed, the “Festival of Speed” Daily Challenge will trigger as complete in your Festival Playlist. If an Arcade event isn’t currently active on your map, wait near a pink Arcade pedestal, and a new event will begin every few minutes.
