Forza Horizon 5’s Tis The Season To Be Hooning challenge appeared for a limited time in Series 2, but hasn’t returned since. If it’s ever re-added, we’ll update this guide.
As the festive season celebrations wrapped up in Forza Horizon 5 Series 2, Playground Games delivered one last winter-themed Trial event – and it was the equivalent of having coal in your Christmas stocking. The Forza Horizon 5 Tis The Season To Be Hooning Trial required you to use a S1 class Hoonigan vehicle to be able to nab 10 points for your Series total, but put you and your team up against some incredibly difficult AI opponents.
Alongside ensuring you had a good vehicle and tuning set-up, you also had to have a stroke of luck that you’d get experienced teammates – it really was that difficult. Below you can see how we took on the Forza Horizon 5 Tis The Season To Be Hooning Trial.
Forza Horizon 5 Tis The Season To Be Hooning
To complete the Forza Horizon 5 Tis The Season To Be Hooning trial, these were the two best vehicles to use:
- Hoonigan Ford Escort RS Cosworth WRC “Cossie V2” 1994 – Tuning Share Code: 157 270 354
- Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Ford Escort Cosworth Group A 1991 – 132 784 301
Both of these vehicles are among the best in their class and were able to deal with this demanding Trial incredibly well. In tighter, low-speed corners both can get a bit tail-happy, but on the whole either car was an excellent pick.
As mentioned, it did require a little bit of luck and some prayers to the matchmaking gods, but if you learned the courses, which were annoyingly covered in fog, and landed some good teammates, then the 10 Series points would eventually be yours.
That covers the Forza Horizon 5 Tis The Season To Be Hooning Trial. For more on Series 2’s challenges, take a look at our guide on the Santamental Feelings Trial.
