HSW Time Trial
A weekly solo trial on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC Enhanced for an owned HSW-converted car. Hao's one-time intro is contextual onboarding, not a separate repeatable income route.
HSW / TIME / TRIALComplete activity guide

HSW Time Trial
After unlocking HSW, find the current HSW Time Trial marker and arrive in an owned HSW-converted car.
Available only on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC Enhanced. Complete Hao/LS Car Meet's one-time introductory run, then convert an eligible car at HSW.
First check the platform, Hao intro state and the vehicle's actual conversion. PS4, Xbox One and PC Legacy do not support the HSW marker; this is not a map bug.

01 • First completion, step by step
First completion, step by step
01 Confirm the game version
- ACTION
- Confirm that you are on PS5, Xbox Series or PC Enhanced rather than a Legacy version.
- TIP
- Check the PC edition before buying a car for HSW.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- An unsupported version will never expose the full HSW system.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Use the standard Time Trial; do not buy a vehicle to unlock an unsupported feature.
02 Complete Hao's intro
- ACTION
- Take Hao's contact, complete the one-time introductory run and unlock HSW inside LS Car Meet.
- TIP
- Treat this run as an access tutorial rather than recurring income.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- An incomplete intro can block the workshop and trial marker.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Return to Hao's contact/marker and finish the tutorial before troubleshooting the rotation.
03 Prepare an HSW car
- ACTION
- Bring an eligible car to HSW inside LS Car Meet and confirm the conversion; a stock version of the same model is not enough.
- TIP
- Choose a car for the course's corners rather than top speed alone.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- No conversion blocks launch even on a supported platform.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Return to HSW, complete the conversion and re-enter the marker.
04 Make a safe run
- ACTION
- Plan the finish, point the car toward the route and launch. Brake earlier because HSW speed magnifies every collision.
- TIP
- Use the first attempt as sector reconnaissance.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- A small mistake at very high speed can ruin the entire result.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Retries are free; return to the marker and correct the specific sector.
05 Beat par time
- ACTION
- Enter the finish before the limit and wait for the full weekly reward message.
- TIP
- After success keep the route as a benchmark rather than a sustainable income loop.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- A later run does not carry the same full rotation reward.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Move to another activity or practise without including the result in hourly income.

03 • Real roles / Strategies
Real roles i Strategies
HSW driver
Owns the platform, conversion, route and safe use of extreme performance alone.
Choose a stable HSW model, make a reconnaissance run and brake earlier than in a standard trial. Full control saves more time than top speed.
Match the model to the rotation profile, analyse sectors and use full acceleration only once the car is settled on exit.
04 • Reward and economic status
$250,000 for the first par-time completion in the weekly rotation
The full reward applies to the first completion in the current rotation. The car and conversion cost are access requirements, not a per-attempt fee.
