For the Welcome to the Party, Pal! Daily Challenge in Series 1 Summer, you need to join one of these events and stay until Round 3 is completed. You cannot manually force a Stunt Party to spawn, so check your map for zones, how to join, and what to do once the event starts.
1. Where to Find Stunt Party Events
Stunt Party zone location
The key thing to know is that Stunt Party events are random events. You do not drive to one permanent stunt arena or one named map spot. Instead, the game periodically spawns a Stunt Party somewhere on the open-world map and marks it with a pink circular zone.
How to Join a Horizon Stunt Party
Once a Stunt Party appears, you have a limited time to reach the pink zone. The active event gives players around 10 minutes to travel to the marked location and start matchmaking, so fast travel is the safest option if you have it unlocked.
- Stay in free roam.
- Watch for a Stunt Party alert on the screen.
- Open the map when the alert appears.
- Look for a large pink circle.
- Fast travel or drive to the circle before the join window ends.
- Enter the marked area and join the event from the prompt.
2. How to Complete Welcome to the Party, Pal!
Horizon Stunt Party
Welcome to the Party, Pal! Daily Challenge asks you to finish Round 3 of a Horizon Stunt Party. You do not need to win a race, beat another player, or place first. You need to remain in the event until the third round is completed.
- Join an active Horizon Stunt Party.
- Continue until Round 3 starts and finishes.
- Wait for the completion pop-up before leaving.
- Check the Festival Playlist to confirm the Daily Challenge is marked complete.
3. Best Cars to Use
Smashing Tank Mascots
Switch to your event car before entering the pink circle, because matchmaking uses the car you are already driving when the event starts. Avoid pure drift builds or top-speed-only cars; Stunt Party rounds can include checkpoints, object smashing, stunt ramps, and score-based activities, so a stable all-rounder is safer.
Use an all-round AWD car if you want the safest option. Pick a rally-focused car for dirt-heavy rounds, a road car for tighter checkpoint routes, and a smashing-focused vehicle when the event emphasizes object destruction.
| Best Car Pick | Best For | Car Use |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 Subaru BRZ Forza Edition | Best overall Stunt Party pick | Strong for off-road and cross-country-style activities, which helps when the event sends you over ramps, dirt, or mixed terrain. |
| 2001 Ford #4 Ford Focus RS | Best rally-style option | Fast, aggressive, and strong on dirt, making it useful for object-smashing and checkpoint rounds. |
| 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI | Best cheap/reliable option | Easy to control, good upgrade room, and safer for players who want stable AWD handling. |
| 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR | Best AWD alternative | Similar to the Impreza but with slightly stronger base stats, making it a good all-rounder if you already own it. |
| 2024 Nissan GT-R NISMO | Best road-focused option | Strong acceleration and good control for checkpoint-heavy rounds on roads or tighter routes. |
| 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R | Best smashing-heavy option | Useful if the round focuses on breaking objects or rough terrain, but weaker if the activity needs tight handling. |

Completing Stunt Pary event
If no Stunt Party is visible, stay in online free roam and check the map near the top of the hour. The event cannot be manually triggered, so wait for the alert and look for the pink circular zone before fast travelling.
- Stay in online free roam and check the map at the top of the hour.
- Look specifically for a pink circular zone.
- Do not search only near one region; it can appear in different places.
- Keep the Festival Playlist open only as a reference, then return to free roam.
- Fast travel immediately when the alert appears.
