Spring has sprung in Mexico, and whereas I’m already getting enthusiastic about Sequence 17 of the Forza Horizon 5 Competition Playlist Weekly Challenges (Japanese automobiles! Yay!), we do have another part of Sequence 16 to work via, specializing in the best of Fords.
Nonetheless, it’s the sizzling season this time as Sequence 16 – Spring comes round, so the motion must be heating up in Mexico. You’ll be wanting some new automobiles and tunes with the intention to finest these challenges and races although eh?
Half 1: #Forzathon Weekly Problem – Rally Legend
The topic of the weekly automotive problem for Sequence 16 – Spring is a basic one, the one and solely RWD Escort Rs1800 MkII from 1977. And never simply any Escort, the #5 Racing one no much less.
Now, this can be a correct rally legend, proper up there together with your Evos and Imprezas, and whereas it might be somewhat extra agricultural than the all-singing AWD weapons, the poise and steadiness of a lightweight automotive with massive energy is rightly well-known.
In the event you don’t have one, they are often obtained from the Autoshow for the princely sum of 300,000 credit.
Chapter 1 – Quick Fordward
The 1st step is as simple as ever – get within the automotive and drive it. Very easy!
Chapter 2 – Particular Stage
Now we have to look again on this automotive’s heritage, because it was constructed to Group 4 spec for rallying. What this implies is we have to win a mud race in it; whichever one takes your fancy.
To make this a tad simpler, I tuned my Escort as much as B Class, and the share code is: 793610371. A little bit of AWD at all times makes issues higher.
Chapter 3 – Triple Warning
Subsequent we’ve to earn three Final Air Abilities within the automotive, as a result of Escorts spend extra time with their wheels within the air than on the ground or one thing?
space for that is Dunas Blancas on the left of the map, drive in a straight line over the dunes and also you’ll be flying very quickly.
Chapter 4 – Hazard Over Crest
For the ultimate step, we merely must earn 5 stars at Hazard Indicators. Choose you favorite and begin leaping!
As soon as that is performed, bask within the heat glow of a job nicely performed and luxuriate in 5 factors in direction of the weekly rewards.
Half 2: Challenges
The Occasion Gods have been sort this week, granting us extra PR Stunts and a complete lot much less Eventlab. Alongside The Trial and the standard racing championships, we must always have sufficient to maintain us occupied I believe.
The Trial – Time To Focus
The title of this race is definitely a intelligent pun or play on phrases, as we’ve to make use of the Focus RS from 2017 to compete on this championship, and we’ve to tune it as much as a most of A Class 800. I tuned mine a tad to make this share code: 151963655.
Assuming that you’ve got higher luck with crew mates than I usually handle to dredge up after I do these occasions (severely, I’m considering of naming and shaming the worst offenders!) and handle to win two out the three races, you’ll stroll away with a shiny new Ford Escort Cosworth.
And in case you are in search of a rally impressed livery for it, test my Repsol one out, share code: 242387582. I threatened to make one, in spite of everything.
Seasonal Playground Video games – Staff King
One other week, one other invite to play a Playground Video games session, and this week the topic is Staff King.
Mainly, some individuals have a crown, and if they’re on the opposite crew, crash into them to take it. Don’t cling on to it too lengthy although, as it’ll gradual you down after about 30 seconds.
These occasions are typically off street flavoured, and in order the one restriction is a Ford within the B Class 700 vary, I went with a Ford Ranger T6 Rally Raid automotive. The share code is: 166960440.
Win or lose, we are going to stroll away with a Ford RS200 for our bother. Good.
Hazard Signal – Cannonball
A soar, a requirement of a Ford automotive with a category of S1 900, and a distance to clear – on this case it’s 220m.

A Tremendous wheelspin is yours for crusing via the air.
Pace Lure – Bypass
One other PR Stunt, the identical restriction, specifically a Ford within the S1 Class 900 vary. Often my response can be to succeed in for a Mustang, and on this case, because the pace goal is 170mph, I felt that intuition could be proper.

One other Tremendous Wheelspin may be yours.
Pace Zone – Atlantes De Tula
Identical restriction as beforehand for this pace zone, and because the common pace we have to preserve is 150 mph and the floor is tarmac, I needed to go for a similar Shelby because the earlier two PR stunts.
This can be a a lot stiffer problem than the earlier two, nevertheless, as there are two very nasty bends to keep in mind. It says one thing that in my S2 Class Koenigsegg, my file for this one is barely 157mph…
For a change, we are going to get a Tremendous Wheelspin if we’re profitable. Keep in mind that sample!?
Seasonal Championship – Monitor Time
Take a Ford, from the Monitor Toy class, tune it to S1 Class 900 and go racing. What might be easier?

My share code is: 142867545 and the brakes on this factor are astonishing, so making up time within the corners is an effective plan.
Profitable the championship, or finest two out of three in the event you can persuade somebody to remain in a convoy via a complete championship, and you’ll stroll away with a Shelby GT500 from 2020. Which is helpful as we have to use this in an upcoming championship!
Seasonal Championship – Grass Routes
This time we’re once more restricted to a single automotive, the #11 Ford F-150 and to a most of A 800. Clearly automotive selection is taken care of, and so my share code for this beastie is: 163161566.
This factor isn’t awfully shy, and with AWD taming the wild oversteer urges, it ought to steer you proper.
For rising victorious, a Ford Raptor from 2011 will probably be our prize.
Seasonal Championship – Shelby Avenue
Take the shiny new GT500 we received a couple of minutes in the past, tune it to the tippy high of S1 Class 900, and go racing on the imply streets of Mexico. I don’t suppose you want that share code once more, however in cased you do – 335181307.
This factor grips and goes, and so long as there aren’t any insomniac Mexicans driving about, it must be tremendous.
For profitable, both alone or with pals, we are going to take residence a Ford Mustang from 1965. Which coincidentally is the topic of the picture problem this week! It’s nearly like they’ve considered this…
Horizon Tour – Co-Op Championships
Ah, the Tour, my favorite multiplayer exercise within the sport. Merely crew up with a gaggle of like minded racers, beat some driverbots, and take pleasure in somewhat mild level to level racing between races. What might be higher?
Recommending a automotive is just about inconceivable, sadly, as we will’t predict what class we want, however take part and have enjoyable.

Pace Lure – Nexus View
Get in an S1 Class 900 Ford, and scream previous the digicam at above 190 mph. What might be simpler?
I went with the identical Shelby as earlier (and certainly, that I like to recommend for the championship under) and managed it okay, regardless of the automotive topping out at simply over 200mph.
Method from the north to profit from the pace increase from the loop instantly earlier than it.
One other Tremendous Wheelspin will probably be yours for zooming sufficiently.
Seasonal Championship – Sightseeing
An S1 Class 900 restrict, a Ford Restriction and a collection of races to win… You already know what meaning, don’t you? Yep, it’s Mustang time! I went with the identical Shelby GT500 as earlier than (severely, this factor has been superior this week), and the share code remains to be 335181307.
