Today marks the first day where people won't be complaining about the AI difficulty in Trials but the teammates themselves. Tankpool drivers gonna wreak havoc big time, so good luck.

Secret Agent | Drive 100 miles in your Bentley 4-1/2 Litre
Really? 100 miles? How many laps do you have to make to the outside road on the map to make 100 miles?

Playground Games understands that the Forzathon Weekly Challenge "Blower Bentley Chapter 4: Secret Agent" pushes it from being a fun road trip across Mexico into a bit of a grind. To make up for this, we're adding 100 Forzathon Points to all #ForzaHorizon5 player accounts today.

Head to your in-game Message Center, tab over to Gifts, highlight the GIFTED FORZATHON POINTS message, and select Download to add them to your account.

Most people won't even get to chapter four. That Bentley is just too expensive.

This isn't a complaint, but does it feel like the Trial difficulty has been toned down a tad too much? I think the regular seasonal championships were harder.

Took me about 30 min driving on a highway from west to east. In one end its about 12km so you got 24km when you drive back. Boring, yes but not too much:B1:

Did you even read what you quoted? I said nothing about how long the task takes whatsoever.

That may just be your bias. Not everyone would agree with your speculation that the trial was "toned down". Maybe it was the event type that you found easier than others.

I don't think they did, at all.

Then you must admit you lost the point, which is so common here.

It is important to admit that. Even if not publicly. Because if you accept that reality, you may change your posting habits. But only if you realize the error.

While I don't think the bentley challenge was a big issue, like some do, I do acknowledge not everyone got it from a spin. I had to buy mine too.

It's not the biggest folly to make on the forums. But you didn't need to quote them if you weren't even going to talk about what they said.

They said they would turn down the difficulty starting this week, it's not a bias. Not a single rando lost to any AI this week during my run.
