1. Festival Wristband Progression (Core Reputation)
Wristbands represent your rank in the Festival and unlock higher-level cars and new map regions. Here’s how to progress fast:
Step 1: Qualify and Invite

• Complete Horizon Qualifiers and Invitational events to earn your first wristband.
  
• This unlocks access to the main Festival campaign.
  

Step 2: Targeted Race Farming

• Focus on races that match your current wristband’s car type requirements: Road, Dirt, or Cross-Country.
  
• Consistently place in the top three to maximize reputation gain.
  

Step 3: Showcase & Horizon Rush Events

• Participate in major Showcase events or Horizon Rush obstacle courses (like Tokyo City Docks).
  
• Completing these triggers the next wristband unlock.
  

Step 4: Race Customization

• After finishing a race for the first time, use the Race Customizer to increase difficulty or add laps.
  
• Higher difficulty and longer races yield more XP and credit multipliers.
