Top Drives has started Shriek Week, an October 27 to November 4 event built around Ghost Frequencies, racing finals and Halloween car rewards. Your frequencies count toward a Rivals leaderboard, while four separate finals and their challenges offer more prizes along the way.
The official Shriek Week announcement describes where to earn frequencies and what the highest ranks receive. Hutch assigns players to a team automatically when they enter the game after the Rivals battle begins.
The Top Drives account also announced Shriek Week on X:
Where to earn Ghost Frequencies
Hutch lists Shriek Week Finals, Challenges and the Objectives track as sources. Regular 48-hour events in the Halloween season can also award frequencies during the Rivals window.
Two recurring objectives matter too: the daily Halloween Supply Drop and the weekly Halloween Hunted track. Check both when you log in, as their requirements differ from the finals. The announcement also says the Shriek Week objectives include activities such as logging in, building a garage and playing events.
Frequencies contribute to the leaderboard. They are distinct from the energy needed to enter Shriek Week Challenges. Winning matches in the Shriek Week Finals earns the corresponding energy through objectives, according to the announcement. Check the objective before spending it so you know which track you are progressing.
What the leaderboard awards
The headline prize is the Hennessey Venom F5 Legendary Halloween variant. Hutch places it in the top 1.5% reward bracket. It is a competitive reward, not a car every participant receives.
The top 0.6% also receive three Carbon Fiber packs and a guaranteed Legendary. The top 1.5% bracket includes three Carbon Fiber packs, while the top 3.5% gets two and the top 7.5% gets one. Lower placements have other pack brackets: the top 15% receives a triple Ceramic and the top 25% a double Ceramic.
The announcement lists Gold and Cash among the rewards as well. Consult the in-game leaderboard for your current position and the reward tier attached to it. A position during the event is not the final result, and players can continue earning frequencies until the competition closes.
Four finals, four eligibility rules
Each final advertises an Epic Halloween variant and has a different car requirement. Hutch lists the first from October 27 to 30 for UK non-prize cars from 2021 to 2025. Its named prize is the Ford Ranger Raptor V6 variant.
Final 2 runs October 28 to 31 and lists Germany or Sweden, high clearance, hybrid or petrol, and non-prize requirements. Its named variant is the Dodge Hornet GT. Final 3 runs October 29 to November 1, with European Grand Tour and coupe, estate or roadster restrictions; its named variant is the AC Cobra MkIII 427 S/C.
The fourth runs October 30 to November 2. Its criteria combine European Revolution or German Powerhaus with rear-wheel drive and non-prize cars. The named Epic variant is the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing. Open each event in game for the complete eligibility screen and prize placement before assembling a hand.
Challenges, energy and Halloween objectives
Four challenges run alongside the finals, with one starting on each day from October 27 through 30. Their criteria match the final they accompany. Progress requires Shriek Week Energy, obtained through objectives for winning finals matches. The announced challenge rewards include Carbon Fiber and Premium packs as well as Ghost Frequencies.
The broader Halloween season notes describe a separate Torn Bestiary objective track and Trick or Treat tokens. That season track has its own collection rules; earning a Shriek Week leaderboard prize does not automatically complete the full Halloween collection. The notes also describe a free Phantom Pass challenge and additional rewards through an optional purchased Premium track.
Hutch gives the event's date range, but the Shriek Week page uses a UK daylight-saving label that conflicts with the UK clock change. Its precise end-time wording is therefore worth checking against the in-game countdown. The RAID pumpkin hunt guide covers a separate Halloween activity in another game.
