Completing Autumn Daily Challenges—primarily associated with the **Forza Horizon** series (specifically *Forza Horizon 5* and *Forza Horizon 6*)—requires a mix of specific car selection, tuning, and map knowledge. In these games, Autumn is known as the **Storm Season**, and daily challenges are a core part of the Festival Playlist.

## Understanding the Autumn Daily Challenge System
Daily challenges are bite-sized objectives that refresh every 24 hours during the one-week Autumn season.
* **Availability:** Each challenge goes live at a set time (usually 7:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM UTC) and remains active for exactly **seven days**. This means you do not have to complete them on the day they launch; you can “stack” them and complete several at once toward the end of the week.
* **Rewards:** Each challenge typically awards **1 Festival Playlist Point** and a secondary reward like **Forzathon Points (FP)** or Credits. These points are essential for unlocking seasonal reward cars.

## How to Access and Track Challenges
1. **Open the Menu:** Pause the game and navigate to the **Campaign** or **Home** tab.
2. **Select Festival Playlist:** Click on the current series tile.
3. **Navigate to Autumn:** Use the bumper buttons (L1/R1 or LB/RB) to find the **Autumn / Storm Season** tab.
4. **Locate Daily Challenges:** Scroll to the far right of the Autumn activities to find the vertical list of seven daily challenges.

## Common Challenge Types and How to Complete Them
Most Autumn daily challenges fall into five recurring categories. Here is how to handle each:

### 1. PR Stunt Challenges
These require you to hit a specific milestone at a Speed Trap, Speed Zone, Danger Sign, or Drift Zone.
* **Strategy:** Check the car restrictions first. If it says “any Italian car,” a Ferrari or Lamborghini is your best bet.
* **Tip:** Use the **Rewind** feature. If you miss a gate in a Speed Zone or land poorly on a Danger Sign, rewind and adjust your angle rather than driving all the way back.

### 2. Photo Challenges
You will often be asked to take a photo of a specific car at a specific landmark.
* **Step 1:** Filter your garage by the required “Car Type” or “Manufacturer.”
* **Step 2:** Locate the landmark on the map (e.g., Teotihuacan, the Horizon Stadium, or a specific mural).
* **Step 3:** Enter **Photo Mode** (Up on the D-pad) and ensure both the car and the landmark are in the frame before snapping.

### 3. Skill-Based Challenges
These require earning specific skill “ribbons” like “Air Skills,” “Wreckage,” or “Ultimate Drifts.”
* **Air Skills:** Head to the Dunas Blancas (sand dunes) or a construction site to get easy air time.
* **Wreckage Skills:** Drive through fences, cacti, or small trees in the desert.
* **Drift Skills:** Use a Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) car with “Drift” tires. The **Horizon Stadium** or **Shibuya Crossing** (in FH6) are ideal spots for sustained drifting.

### 4. Race and Event Challenges
You may need to win a specific race type (e.g., Cross Country, Street Scene) using a specific car class (e.g., A800, S1).
* **Efficiency:** If the challenge just says “Complete a race,” you can create or search for a **Blueprint** in the EventLab that is only 0.1 miles long to finish it in seconds.
* **Difficulty:** You can usually complete these on any difficulty setting unless specified otherwise. Lower the AI difficulty to “Tourist” to guarantee a win quickly.

### 5. Spending and Customization
Challenges like “Spend 10,000 CR on upgrades” or “Apply a new livery.”
* **Strategy:** Buy a cheap car and auto-upgrade it, or simply change the rim color on your current car to trigger the “Paint” challenges.

## Specific Examples from Recent Seasons
To give you an idea of what to expect, here are challenges from recent *Forza* Autumn playlists:
* **”Saloony Tunes”:** Spend 10,000 CR on upgrades for any Super Saloon car.
* **”Itali-vroom!”:** Reach 150 mph in any Italian car (The main highway is the easiest location).
* **”Hyperdrive”:** Fly at least 500 ft in any Hypercar (Use the “Airport” Danger Sign).
* **”In the Zone”:** Earn a total of 300 mph across various Speed Zones.

## Pro-Tips for Efficiency
* **Filter the Map:** Use the map filters to hide everything except the specific PR Stunt or Race type required for the daily challenge to avoid clutter.
* **Check the “Forza Link”:** Some challenges require you to send a specific phrase via Forza Link (e.g., “Good Game”). Ensure you have the phrase equipped in your **Character Customizer** before heading into a session.
* **Stacking Challenges:** Wait until Tuesday or Wednesday of the Autumn week. By then, 5 or 6 challenges will be active. You can often complete 3 or 4 of them in a single 15-minute session by choosing a car that qualifies for multiple objectives.
* **Tuning Codes:** If a challenge is difficult (like a high-score Drift Zone), search for “Seasonal” or “Daily” in the **Find Tuning Setups** menu. Community creators often upload specific tunes designed to beat that week’s requirements.
