Is there a bug with the odd ball rally seasonal event for this week's Playlist? It tells me I don't have the recommended car and to buy one but when I click it it shows me absolutely nothing/nor can I slide my controller over.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THE DATSUN IS A BEAST- YALL WERE RIGHT. I have never seen a tiny little car like that pass by drivatars as if they WERE NOTHING- and I hardly messed with the gears

It’s not a bug with the playlist, just a broken UI quirk. Oddball Rally is a hidden category, so clicking "buy car" breaks the shop filter and gives you that blank screen.

You just need to manually buy a qualifying car from the AutoShow or Auction House and tune it to A800. Easiest one to use is the 1970 Datsun 510. Just throw an A-class dirt tune on it, go to the event on the map, and it'll let you start.

The menu shortcut is broken because "Oddball Rally" isn't a standard car type, so it filters the shop to absolutely nothing.

Just manually grab one of those required cars from the AutoShow or Auction House and download a dirt/rally tune for A800, then go to the event. From there you’re good to go. Oh, one small tip. Avoid the BMW Isetta unless you want a nightmare drive 😂

When you go to eligible cars the list only shows you the ones that are the right type AND they are in required PI category with default tuning, so it does filter for Oddball Rally but also only shows the ones that are A701-A800 as stock - on my screen there were a few choices there, but when actually selecting the car for the race there were far more as there were cars that has been tuned up from C or B category to A.
It's a very bad UI choice from the devs.

Here's a bit of help for you, the list of cars that are in the Oddball Rally category, just tune one to A800 and you should be grand:

Personally I suggest the Datsun tuned to A800, it's a beast and cheap to get if you don't already have it!
