We’ve moved to Series 8 in Forza Horizon 5, and that means a fresh month of challenges and events. For the first week of Series 8, we move to the summer season. This one will have a German flair to it, as this week features a number of Germany-manufactured rewards, plus challenges that feature Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen cars. So, what exactly needs to be done this week? Let’s take a look at the challenges, including a Treasure Hunt for the first week of Series 8.
