Festival Playlist

Series 5 British Automotive rewards, with live tasks kept honest

The official schedule gives the active series, reward cars and dates. Your in-game board remains the source for live weekly task wording, timers and routes.

Official schedule checked October 2, 2026

Series 5 British Automotive - Spring, live now

Current season window: October 1-8, 2026. The published playlist runs September 10-October 8, 2026 (update shipped September 7, 2026). The exact activities on your account are shown in the in-game Festival Playlist.

Before following a route

Use the live task board, not an old weekly guide

  1. 1 Open the Festival Playlist in your current game session and note the task name, time remaining and point requirement.
  2. 2 Match the season and reward car against the dated official schedule below. If the names or dates differ, the in-game board is the current source of truth.
  3. 3 For a location task, use the exact wording shown in-game. Do not reuse an old photo challenge or Treasure Hunt route from a previous week.
  4. 4 After completing an activity, confirm that the points were credited before leaving the Playlist screen.
