Known as Horizon Cars & Coffee, Series 36 brings the usual selection of brand new vehicles to the game but also adds a new meet-up location appropriate to the name.
You'll find this at the bottom of the main autopista, at the traffic circle, and it's the largest of many cosmetic changes this month.
Along with the regular new cars — one available if you score 20pt within each season, and one for 80pt across all four — there's a new DLC pack which features some JDM goodies (although not all with JDM names…) of which you'll get to try out a couple in Monthly Rivals this series.
Series 36: Horizon Cars & Coffee
Scoring 80pt across the Series will reward you with the new Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato '18, while the DeBerti Ford Mustang is available again as a prize for 160pt in total.
Series 36 Summer/Wet Season Rewards
Summer will run until 1430UTC on Thursday July 25, while Series 36 as a whole runs until the same time on Thursday August 15.

For the most part, the Daily Challenges are straightforward, but you'll need to have completed the Photo Challenge to pick up the Coffee Cup outfit for Friday's task.
Two require combination skills, with the Crash Landing skill needing an Air skill followed by a Wreckage skill, and Daredevil comprising three Near Miss skills in quick succession.

Series 36 Summer Playlist: Season Events
This week's PR Stunts (for two points each) are a trio of Speed Traps in any Nissan GT-R model in A Class (701-800PI), each requiring a target speed between 120-170mph.
There's two five-point Seasonal Championships: three-race events against AI where you'll need to top the points table at the end. This week both are hard-surface events, with a Road Racing and Street Racing challenge.
We have three three-point EventLab challenges this week, each comprising custom routes created by players and selected by Playground Games for unique challenges.
The Trial is a multiplayer-only event, setting you on a best-of-three challenge event against "Unbeatable" AI with a team of fellow human players. Take team victories in two of the races by outpointing the AI to secure ten points.
Horizon Arcade requires you to beat three rounds of themed stunts — Air, Chaos, Drift, Speed, or Wreckage — to each three points.
