How to complete the Wash for 20 Seconds Forza Horizon 5 challenge

Forza Horizon 5’s ‘Wash for 20 Seconds’ daily challenge is bugged, so here’s how you can still complete it despite the ongoing issues. 

One of the quickest ways to surge to the top in Forza Horizon 5 is by completing the game’s daily and weekly challenges.

“Wash for 20 Seconds” is one of these challenges, and it tasks the player to “post a clean lap on any Rivals Event.” Several players have noticed, though, that even when they’re doing this the challenge isn’t being marked as complete.

So, here’s how to complete the Wash for 20 Seconds challenge despite the ongoing bug and, in turn, check this quest off of your to-do list.

4. When racing, hit a wall and flag the lap, but make sure you beat your opponent.
