The Apex Predators are one of the teams you can join ForzaHorizon 5 Rally Adventure. While still driving through the Sierra Nueva countryside, you do so on paved roads, which is very different from the classic rally experience. Here’s how to complete her challenges as well as Alejandra’s reputation challenges.
How to complete the Apex Predators challenges in Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure
Similar to other teams – like the horizon raptors – The ForzaHorizon 5 Apex Predators Challenges follow a level-based progression system. Each activity you complete adds reputation points, further increasing your level to unlock additional challenges.
The end goal is to reach Tier 8 and win eight races, which will allow you to face the team leader Alejandra in the Apex Run race.
General racing tips for predator challenges
Here’s the gist when it comes to the Apex Predators Challenges:
- main activities: Rally or race on asphalt tracks
- rallies are solo time trials where you have to set a decent time for each split gate/checkpoint.
- Run are the traditional competition against other drivers.
- Each track has a pro challenge that requires you to win the event and will reward you with some goodies on top of the reputation points. This will also complete the Rookie Challenges which are only for completion/participation.
- sideline activities:
- Apex Predators boards: These are blue panels marked on the map. As you level up, more board icons appear.
- speed traps: Reach high speed driving through cameras on the road.
- speed zones: Maintain a high speed from the beginning of a section to the end.
- Point A to Point B: Go from one place to another within the time limit.

Champion Race: Apex Run – Alejandra’s challenge

Once you’ve reached reputation level 8 and won eight races, you can attempt the last one ForzaHorizon 5 Apex Predators destination where you complete Alejandra’s reputation challenge.
Alejandra’s Reputation Challenge is a single race. You drive the RJ Anderson Polaris RZR Pro 4 Truck against their Jimco Fastball Racing Spec Trophy Truck. Strangely she is at a disadvantage as the truck is slower. However, if you are having a difficult time, you can lower the difficulty further.
After driving past fields and hills, you’ve made it ForzaHorizon 5 Apex Predators Challenge and Alejandra’s Reputation Challenge. She then hands over the keys to the 2019 Jimco #240 Fastball Racing Spec Trophy Truck. In any case, there is still much more to do in the Rally Adventure DLC, so check it out our garage full of guides for additional information.
