With the end of the Horizon World Cup, Series 5 now see the Horizon PR Stunts festival doing a takeover, littering the series with a buttload of PR stunts need clearing. Some are new and permanent additions to the game, some will be available as a limited-time, seasonal PR stunt challenge denoted with an icon of a different colour (blue-purple).
Specifically, there are 16 new PR stunts. 4 will be added each week: one for Speed Zone, Danger Sign, Trailblazer and Speed Trap. The Speed Zones are permanent additions that will remain there after the series ends.
Alongside that, the Horizon Stadium is turned into a stunt park for all the drifts, airs and skill point farming you need during this series.
Oh, you can also race in those parade floats as a special event race.
