TL;DR

Series 2, “Horizon Decades,” runs June 18–July 16 and is built around four decades of car history — one era per week. There are 10 reward cars total: two big Series-wide unlocks (the 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau at 80 points and the 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430 at 160 points) plus eight weekly cars, two per season. The catch: weekly seasonal points expire every Thursday when the season rotates, but they also count toward your cumulative Series total at the same time. Miss a week’s 60-point target and that week’s two cars are gone for good — but if you’re consistent, you’ll clear both Series rewards without trying. Below is the full breakdown and the actual strategy if you’re not playing every day.


How Horizon Decades Is Structured

This series leans into nostalgia instead of a single theme car or region. Each of the four weekly seasons spotlights a different decade:

Summer (June 18–25) — the 1980s Autumn (June 25–July 2) — the 1990s Winter (July 2–9) — the 2000s Spring (July 9–16) — the 2010s

Each week resets at 2:30 PM UTC on Thursday, and a new set of challenges, events, and the next decade’s two reward cars rotate in.

The two standouts for collectors are the Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau — a genuinely rare real-world car (around 80 built) making its Horizon debut — and the Saleen S7 LM, an American hypercar that’s become something of a recurring Forza trophy piece.

How the Points Actually Work (Read This Before You Grind)

This is the part that trips people up. Each week’s two seasonal cars cost 20 and 40 points — 60 points combined — earned through that week’s races, PR Stunts, photo challenges, and other Festival Playlist activities. Those same points simultaneously bank toward the two big Series-wide rewards (80 and 160 points) that stay available the entire four weeks.

The problem: weekly seasonal progress resets when the season rotates on Thursday. If you’re sitting on 35 points in Summer week and don’t hit 60 before Thursday, you don’t carry that progress into Autumn — you lose access to the Volkswagen Rallye Golf and Lamborghini Countach permanently, and Autumn starts you back at zero for that week’s two cars. The Series total, by contrast, never resets — anything you’ve earned toward the 80/160-point Porsche and Lotus stays banked no matter how many weeks pass.

Optimization Strategy for Casual Players

If you can’t play every single day for four weeks, here’s the actual priority order:

1. Treat each week’s 60 points as the real deadline, not the Series total. The Porsche and Lotus aren’t going anywhere until July 16, but each week’s two cars vanish the moment the season rotates. Spend your limited time chasing whichever week is closest to ending.

2. Do the math on whether you can realistically catch a missed week. If you skip an entire week, you lose that week’s 60 points permanently — meaning your Series total ceiling drops by 60. Since you only need 160 total for the Lotus (the higher bar), missing one full week (max 60 points) still leaves enough room in the remaining three weeks (up to 180 more) to hit both Series rewards, but missing two weeks makes the Lotus mathematically tight. Don’t fall behind in back-to-back weeks if the Lotus matters to you.

3. Front-load effort early in each week. Festival Playlist point sources (races, PR Stunts, photo challenges) are usually available from day one of the season — there’s no reason to wait, and waiting just shrinks your buffer before Thursday’s reset.

4. Don’t grind past 60 in a week you’ve already cleared. Once you’ve banked that week’s 60, anything extra you earn that week still counts toward your Series total, so it’s not wasted — but it’s also not urgent. Bank the minimum for the week, then either keep playing normally or save your remaining time for catching up later in the series if needed.

5. If you only care about one car, work backward from its cost. Only want the Porsche? You need 80 points total across the whole series — that’s achievable even if you skip an entire week. Want the Lotus too? You need 160, which means you can afford to miss at most one week’s worth of points (60) and still clear it with the other three weeks’ max output.

Should You Rush, or Is This Sustainable at a Casual Pace?

Based on the structure, this series is built to be cleared without daily grinding — the Series total is generous enough (a max of well over 160 points across four weeks if all weekly caps are hit) that an inconsistent player can still land both Series cars as long as they don’t no-show more than one week entirely. The real risk isn’t missing the Porsche or Lotus — it’s missing a specific weekly car you actually want, since those are the ones with a hard, unforgiving Thursday cutoff.


FAQ

Do I lose my Series points if I miss a week? No — Series points (toward the Porsche and Lotus) never expire during the four-week run. Only the weekly seasonal points reset, and only the weekly cars tied to that specific week become unobtainable once it rotates out.

Can I still get the Volkswagen Rallye Golf or Lamborghini Countach after Summer week ends? No. Both are tied to the Summer (1980s) week specifically and disappear once Autumn begins on June 25.

What’s the single best car in this series? Depends what you’re optimizing for — the Saleen S7 LM (S2, PI 835) is the highest-performance reward, while the Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau is the rarest and most collectible in real-world terms.

Do Car Pass cars added this series cost Playlist points too? No — Car Pass additions are separate from Festival Playlist rewards. You need the Car Pass (or an edition that includes it) to get those; Playlist points don’t apply to them.

When does Series 2 end? July 16, 2026, when Series 3 begins.
