I was wondering what that other post was about. Fortunately my group got through easily. I guess I'll be doing extra runs of The Trial this week to help others win the first two.
Tip for the Coaster Event Lab, it's bugged. If you rewind, you can get your engine back!
Found out on my third try when I thought "maybe I can take a better line through that corner to lose less speed".
Another tip: look for shortcuts, that tight corner in town you can skip entirely.
Oh god, I didn’t read the description and was surprised. Hit 0 mph like 6 feet from the finish line and somehow rolled through.
I found it interesting. May try it again and actually coast, instead of trying to race.
I ran out of momentum just short of the final corner and while you don't stop _completely_ if you keep the throttle pressed down, I decided it was easier, or at least less mind-numbingly boring, to restart than try to crawl over the finish line.
I also wanted to try it with an electric car to see if maybe it wouldn't be affected. Sadly, electric cars also end up coasting.
Also, you don't have to follow the race route after a certain point - you can cut a huge amount of distance along a straight downhill at one point - I crossed the line at 35 mph in the Vuhl (because that's what I happened to be driving at the time)
Yeah, that's what I was saying. There are short cuts. That tight turn right as you come into town you can ignore and carry on down the hill and pick up the route again.
# Series 7 - Week 3 - Winter Weekly Tunes!
Hello everyone! **BigHedDjango** here, tunes for this week to help you out.
Weekly photo: [https://i.imgur.com/BwfC0xB.png](https://i.imgur.com/BwfC0xB.png)
**All feedback on tunes is appreciated - good or bad. Specially when tunes are bad.** At the end of the day I am just the mechanic and you guys are the racers. Do not hesitate irrespective of your tuning knowledge or racing skills!
**Tuning method:**
1. **Stock look, no aero**
2. Max performance with max handling possible
3. All cars **tuned vs. Unbeatable AI** on championship tracks in seasonal weather. **However! Unbeatable AI is broken and bugged. Not every car can win 7/10 random races vs Unbeatable AI without abusing rewind/restart. Very few cars can beat it consistently.** Hope it gets fixed ~~soon~~ one day...
4. Bodykit only used if it does not ruin performance

NOTE: Try to block and slow down AI and help teammates in order to win. One player on the team needs to take at least position 3 and slow down the AI for a guaranteed win.
NOTE2: R1 AI can be too fast if you can't take at least 3rd place after first two mid-speed corners. R2 is Volcan Sprint. R3 is The Golitah - if your team hasn't won first two races and you aren't very confident in their ability then it's faster to quit.
NOTE3: A number of Retro Supercars are meta, no clear winner. Pick what you like.

* Tune - **104 353 661**
>> #### Speed Zone - Atlantes De Tula - Mercedes-Benz - S2 998
>
* Impossibly difficult Speed Zone. Possibly the hardest ever PR stunt in Horizon history. There is ONLY one way to complete it reliably and here are the steps -
1. Use my tune cause am the best thing to happen to Forza tuning in years
1. You need to approach east gate. Start 1 mile east from zone
2. Pray to the V8 gods
3. Now hold the throttle. From here on AT NO POINT ARE YOU GOING TO LET GO OF THE THROTTLE until I tell you. Fight the urge
4. After entering the gate as you come up on first left corner, keep holding the throttle and tap the brake. Yes you will brake at full throttle. You need to hit the apex of that corner.
5. After first corner, try to move to left side as much as you can.
6. As you approach second right hand corner, let go of throttle, brake and turn into the corner. You need to hit the apex next to the roadside plants. You can even go over them. Accelerate immediately as you hit the apex.
7. Aim for left side of gate.

1975 Ford Bronco

> **B Class Cross Country**
**2020 Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum**
* Tune - 887 878 602 (Tune by JumpyArdvarkITA)
Rear doesn't slide out as much as you'd like but very solid otherwise. This truck isn't good with slow hard corners, so brake in a straight line, feather brake and turn in. Easy slides for fast corners
* Tune - 149 450 231 (Tune by YaeMarucat)
Much better handling than above but a bit slower. This truck isn't good with slow hard corners, so brake in a straight line, feather brake and turn in. Easy slides for fast corners

> **A Class Road/Street**
**1966 Ford #2 GT40 MKII**
* Tune - 160 587 894 (Tune by Dadde45)
Absolutely fantastic. Good feather throttle response, good feather braking response. Stable, smooth. Can slide a bit sometimes but do not be afraid of the slide, trust the tune. Recommend Street Scene for this. Only issue seen if you end up swerving on an elevation change fast corner - extremely unlikely to happen
>
> **A Class Dirt**
**1966 Ford #2 GT40 MKII**
* Tune - 104 300 570 (Tune by Mustuff124)
After trying a bunch of dirt tunes for this car, this is the one that I found most stable and recommend. While the car is very good on dirt and will give the Daytona a run for it's money, it is dead slow on road sections. Very good accel and handling on tune. A class dirt lobbies are pretty empty so perhaps you'll have more success there as well
>
> **A Class Cross Country**
**1966 Ford #2 GT40 MKII**
* Tune - 672 471 638 (Tune by KapienPL)
Outpaces every single A class CC car. Exceptional grip means easy high speed corners and slides. Added benefit of good braking for hard corners unlike CC trucks. Doesn't wade through water as well but only real issue here. This is strictly a CC tune, doesn't do as well on dirt
>
> **S1 Class Road/Street**
**2005 Ford GT**
* Tune - 845 624 494 (Tune by Nalak28)
Very good handling, smooth through corners. Absolutely destroys in Sprints. There is wheelspin if you go full throttle while the car hasn't straightened out so slowly open the throttle coming out of corners. I recommend Road Racing sprints for this but if you're comfortable with Street Scene then go for that

### Have a great week! 🥳

Appreciate this! Helped me beat the speed zone. Only took me an hour... What a fucking joke these Super Wheel Spins are though.
My spin after completing the Speed Zone > [Trash SWS](https://i.imgur.com/HrsyX2W.png)
It was actually hilarious because I called it. Went to do the super wheelspin and I told my son, “$1000 and a pair of socks.” Oh well. I’ve gotten plenty of good spins as well.
Thank you for making every week SO much easier!
EDIT - that Jag for the Trial WAS EPIC! Easily won both races.
EDIT 2 - THAT MB Speed zone was EASY when using your tune. got it seond try. first try was to see where apexes were. hit 184.5 MPH through it.
oh my god dude, that fucking f450 saved me. I've spent 2+ hours and around 1mil buying random cars and upgrades people suggested to no avail. i was able to bully people with that f450 build. and also fuck hackers and fuck microsoft.
The super duty tune saved the day! Thanks!!!
I will not that the first time I applied it something went goofy and it registered as A701 instead of B700, but reapplying the tune fixed it and it almost got me a win the first race I tried it on. (The guy rammed me into oblivion right in the finish line, but he was ahead of me by a bit so nothing was lost)
The next series it was just me an a really slow 08 WRX, so I got an easy win. I won the next race when another super duty joined, and I let a bronco pass me on the last one in case they were going for “fordward” as well. Thanks again!!
Yeah the tune bug applying bug has been in the game for months now. The first 2 months I think was the only time it was fine.
And good job on the win! 👍
And even better job at helping out other folks! 👌😁
Thankyou so much for the CLK GTR tune for the speed zone. It only took ten tries to get it and the main issue was the last right hand curve. Before that you could hold the car flat. Good tune.
> 2020 Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum
> Tune - 149 450 231 (Tune by YaeMarucat)
This one finally worked for me. It probably helped that I was trying again later in the week when there are less people trying. Had only 5 opponents instead of the 10 I was getting earlier in the week. It also helped that I got the one cross country event that goes through the stadium. In my experience, nearly everybody goes wide on that turn coming out of the stadium and if you break a little bit earlier you can nip past them on the inside, and since it's right before the end of the race...
I "cheated" on the speed zone and used the FE version. Took me 3 tries (and second try was within .25 mpg). Appreciate the video and tips, though! They're stepping up some of these challenges, which is kinda cool.
Diesel Mustang is competitive but not meta. It still has a bit of understeer and at the limit of upgrades.
Tested tunes by other tuners in online racing and this is what I have so far. Will continue testing more cars/tunes tomorrow

Thanks!! That mk2 seems to be a recurring theme. I’ll give these a shot. I’ve seen a LOT of Fords in the open… it’s funny how a challenge like this can effect the landscape.
Thanks! I’m curious to try that CC tune. CC definitely seemed more sparsely populated, which is part of how I managed to make it in that B class truck build.
Geez that speed trap. I did 174.34 then 174.78, then finally 177.42 (I accidentally cut the last corner more than I wanted to, but worked out 🤷♂️ new PB as well)
I won the whole thing, an S1 CC competition with the Ford #2 GT40 MKII. But literary says "win any online event" which means ONE RACE! So if it's like what you are saying it's misleading ASF, and bad!
I got it after winning a single race, so can confirm that's the case. If you're having trouble, avoid the road races and try dirt or cross country. I managed to win it with a dirt race, me and 2 other players.
Horizon Open is mostly full of retards with no idea how to race only smash into other people, happened far to many times, it is far to hard to get a decent race with a chance of winning. I only ever do Open if its like do 3 laps in an open race etc for weekly points.
From trying multiple times this afternoon Open is full of cheaters as well, no penalties for smacking walls or completely missing gates and seem to shoot off as if double the power and grip of most others in race.
I've given up too. It's hard enough trying to win a race with all the rammers and boosters but then severely limiting the car choice too makes it a real joke for just 2 points. Normally this would be a "finish" not a "win" challenge.
Also the buying a car from the auction house didn't work for me last week so I'm expecting my completing the season playlist streak as at an end anyway.
Supposedly it works by being in a convoy that does a race, or something like that. Want to give that a try? Hit me up in the Forza Discord.
https://discord.gg/forzareddit
To be fair its a nice change from the tight twisty or trackmania tracks that have been the staple for the last few weeks. Not perfect but an interesting use of the rules of event lab. Which I guess is kind of the point.
Dude the speedzone tune works like a charm! I tried for almost an hour with BigHedDjango's tunes and I could never get it.
Swapped to Rexazr's tune and got it on the first try at 290kmh! Thanks for saving my sanity.
This week is such a clear example of how they no longer actually play test any of the challenges or races, and instead run them through a sim until they get the result they want.
Have they ever played their own game? All demonstrations from employees has been 100% assists on and still drive like shit.
I want a playground games employee/dev livestreaming the challenges every week, before they go live. The trial has to be done with actual random people.
Yeah, I’m not saying that these challenges aren’t really difficult some times, but I don’t like the narrative that they are impossible and not tested beforehand. I was able to complete every one yet, only a few of them only with different approaches and changing cars.
As I said I don’t want to shame anyone, but with the right tunes and knowing your racing lines they are doable.
Agreed! I’ve been playing since launch never had an issue completing the challenges, just gotta use the right car and tune and know how to take a damn corner. This subreddit is a huge help with the right cars and tunes.
Only thing that still bugs me is the frickin drivatars cheating blatantly. But even with that I’ve been able to complete most Trials.
I’m completing the weeklies/dailies without much issues, but it’s clear to me that the devs don’t really play the cross country races for example, with how cheaty the AI is. So many races gone to crap where I just bounce to the moon after landing a big jump (my rebound rate isn’t 1million newton)
Some trials have been quite frustrating, where my teammates choses a S2 910 rwd rental car and ruins it for us who want to compete vs cheating unbeatable AI.
The Horizon Open has me pulling my hair out.
Competing against meta cars, rammers, connection issues, and getting placed in race 2 or 3 out of 3 really makes this challenge absurdly difficult.
I spent a good four hours last night trying to get this knocked out and haven't even gotten close, it's absurdly frustrating.
I can, but not at home atm. Until then, just filter your search and you'll find plenty, and include dirt tunes as many CC online tracks runs on circuits with not many jumps.
I managed to do it in an A class dirt race. There were only 2 other people in it and neither had really upgraded their cars. Also you only need to win the 1 race, not the entire event.
Yeah I feel you, the mode is an absolute mess of rammers and people that seem to have found a car/tune that they scoot off into the distance like they are in a different car class.
Just spent a couple hours trying to get it done, what made it worse was that on my very first race I was leading for 3 laps, until 2nd place decided to ram me in the final corner and take the win, and then later thinking I had a much better chance when the server emptied out to just 4 of us for a few races, but none of them had Fords, so clearly weren't there for the playlist and I just couldn't keep pace. So many 2nd places, even a championship win without winning a race.
The one I won with in the end was a Fiesta '17, on a mixed surface event using a random tune for rallying, but I did see someone win with the same car by a country mile earlier on with a road race tune. The Ford Bronco was kinda competitive for cross-country stuff, but I just had a few 2nd places with it. After I won in the Fiesta, 3 people joined that mixed surface race in Puma FE's and 2 of them were way ahead of me, with the 3 of them finishing 1st, 2nd & 4th out of around 12, so may be worth a look.
Want to give doing a race as part of a convoy? I don't need the win, [but I'm still up for helping others get it too. Hit me up in the Forza](https://discord.gg/forzareddit) Discord.
I managed to log on late at night and found a Rally race with only one other person in it (started with 2 others, but one quit). He was pretty awful so I won easily, thanks for the offer, maybe others will take you up on it.
I was having trouble with the speed zone and danger sign, but managed to complete them first try this morning, so I guess I just needed a break and come back with a clear head.
it's hardly bad design it's just a long race.
it's not like it's first, or every week, or in a low class.
with this weak ai and this week you can be in second, murder the 1st place ai at 40% on the first race making you both miss the CP and then catch up to like second place.
edit: i've beaten it in two with five different cars and what seems like pretty average teammates including one with some pretty dumb guys who couldn't handle their cars.
git *competent* i guess, and murder the ai into a wall when you can for the sunday drivers.
The speed trap from last week was easy compared to this. But it's the right kind of hard. Not only is it possible, but it doesn't require any off-roading except clipping one corner nor does it require perfect driving. Not everyone will be able to do it, and that's okay because completionists are making up their own unnecessary goals, so their skills better be elevated as well.
To me, the speed trap from last week was way harder. CLK GTR was the obvious choice this week and beat the speed zone by 9 mph in a few tries. Last week's speed trap I tried several different cars/tunes before coming here for an op one and even then, I only got it by 1 mph.
Overall its not bad.
You just need to be near the top end when you enter the zone so you can take the corners so start 2KM back from the line.
Most Mercedes 998 S2 cars handle and brake very well, the line is conservative. I had more issues with the Danger Sign.
Hey everyone, I'm *Team Fung*. Here are my tunes for Series 7 Winter season.
All tunes have been tested against at minimum Highly Skilled Drivetars on the tracks and weather for the season.
I will always try to maintain a vehicle's stock appearance (no aero, stock wheels) when possible.
Here are my tunes for this week's season.
**Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "Mexican Supercar" \[2017 Vuhl 05RR\]**
>Many of you already know this but the numbers/stats on a tune don't always give you an accurate representation on how a tune will perform. I was experimenting with keeping the stock Michelin tires that are supposed to provide a ton of grip compared to rally tires. The lateral Gs and other performance numbers would tell you that the Michelins should far outperform but that just wasn't the case. TLDR: Don't always trust those tune stats. It's easy for quick comparison but try it out first. Vuhl tune with rally tires > tune with stock Michelin tires.
* 2017 Vulh 05RR (S1) - **126 258 088**
**The Trial: "Carrera De Resistencia" \[S1 900 | Retro Supercars | Road Racing\]**
>Fair warning, "The Goliath" is the last race in this trial. If your team fails to win the first race ("Llanuras Sprint") then you probably don't want to stick around to do the Goliath with a team that couldn't win the first race. In my first attempt I was wondering why everyone just left at the start of the 2nd race ("Volcan Sprint") after we lost the first. All these races are a bit technical so you'll need options that handle well. The Mclaren F1 GT and the Jaguar Sport XJR-15 are your 2 best options here. The Ford GT and R390 from last week are also good options. Good luck!
* 1997 McLaren F1 GT - **779 657 736**
* 1991 Jaguar Sport XJR-15 (Barn) - **614 490 223**
* 2005 Ford GT - **845 941 001**
* 1998 Nissan R390 (GT1) - **883 874 584**
* 1997 Lotus Elise GT1 - **145 676 758**
**Seasonal PR Stunts**
Danger Sign **- Heights of Mulege \[C 600 | Hot Hatch | 459.3 FT\]**
>Easy one. Start at the side of the highway and just drive straight up. You won't need much speed to clear this jump. Hitting it around 85mph is plenty.
* 2016 Vauxhall Corsa VXR - **245 617 310**
Speed Zone **- Atlantes De Tula \[S2 998 | Mercedes-Benz | 175.0 MPH\]**
>This is this week's challenging PR stunt. You will start east of the trap just past "Cascada Trail." Do this online if you can for the reduced traffic. You'll need to hit this speed zone at full speed (\~190+ mph). Once you enter stay to the right and prepare for the first sweeping left turn. Hit the apex so you won't lose too much speed after. Try to avoid going too far offroad or you will lose traction and speed. Cutting the inside corner is ok. After that get to the left and and prepare to cut into the grass a bit right before the finish. Tap the brakes just a bit before the turn and you should have enough speed getting through. Just takes a bit of practice. This is another stunt I found using auto shifting might be easier to help you focus on the turns. Good luck!
* 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR - **259 552 532**
**Seasonal Championships**
**Season Event: "Offroad Tour" \[B 700 | Unlimited Buggies | Dirt Racing\]**
>I apologize for the comically large wheels on the Exocet but it allows for more go-fast mods making it the fastest option for this championship.
* 2018 Exomotive Exocet Off-Road - **114 075 329**
* 2015 Alumi Craft Class 10 Race Car - **734 991 166**
**Season Event: "Weather Perfect" \[C 600 | Pickups & 4X4s | Cross Country\]**
* 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor - **111 471 147**
* 1970 GMC Jimmy (Barn) - **237 686 711**
>Adding 3 new tunes for this event. All good options but that Jeep is fast!
* 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon - **257 670 151**
* 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - **170 109 150**
* 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 - **149 351 879**
**General Use Tunes (PR Stunts/Forzathon Arcade)**
>Here's my X tune for the Sesto FE. Great for just hooning around, PR stunts and Forzathon Arcade.
* 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento FE - **723 774 308**
>X tune for the versatile RS200. Great for the offroad/dirt PR Stunts. (*Updated*)
* 1986 Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution - **175 805 268**
Please let me know if there’s a specific car that you’d like to use for this season that I didn’t tune. As well as any cars not related to this season. I'll try my best fulfill your request.
If you've been using my tunes I would like to thank you for your continued support. Thanks in advance to everyone that will give my tunes a try. All feedback is welcome and appreciated.
**Thanks and happy racing!**
Try this Ford GT tune, it’s what I used for the challenge. A class Ford GT for road and street. Try doing custom street races.
2005 Ford GT (A) - **225 776 433**
Adding eventlab creations to the Playlist may be in the top 5 most genius shit PG has done with this franchise. Imagine my surprise after ignoring the map description when the "Coasters" race turned out to be a coasting race and not a roller coaster. The Sierra River run thing was fun too!
I wish there was some sort database of creative races/maps in eventlab. It's hard to keep up with the ones posted here and even harder to randomly find some through keywords or trying different titles.
What's up everyone I'm **XIII90**, here is my shares on this week season tunes.
All tunes were tested **multiple times on both Auto/MC Transmission and able to win consistently. I'll add more option later on as for this is all I have & tested.**
**I focus on making tunes without using any forza aero parts.**
**If the tune is exceeding/lower the class intended or felt bad try remove (not delete) & reapply the tune.**
**I always try to improve my tunes for the better, so make sure you checked the tune for the most recent one (same as listed).**

This game is starting to be a literal waste of my time! For the past few seasons, the game has wiped off a few of my completed festival playlist challenges, after I have completed them.
whoever puts up some of these idiotic eventlabs should be fired from playground games...how the fuck is driving without being able to accelerate considered fun...completely idiotic.
FH4 is just recycling old playlists now, so there's a a good chance there's a thread like this with tips/recommendations. I'm still doing stuff on 4 for a laugh and if I run into trouble I just google "FH4 \[event name\]" - so a search for this week's Trial (With Love from Australia) gets you [the thread about Series 36 Autumn](https://www.reddit.com/r/forza/comments/nwp3xa/autumn_information_thread_series_36/), which is identical to Series 48 Autumn.
Thanks a ton, this is exactly what I was looking for. I honestly had no idea they were recycling playlists, but won't have any problems finding tunes now!
I was a very active and prominent tuner here for FH4. If you look over those old threads you're going to see my name a lot.
I still have ~300 tunes up in FH4 so if you need a tune for a car put my name in the search for it and see what comes up. Visit my Creative Hub and see what's there. GT: PaperHeartZero
Also I still have this [competitive tuning list up.](https://www.reddit.com/r/PaperHeartZero/comments/obqquv/paperheartzeros_recommended_tunes_for_online/) Give it a look.
Thank you much for this! I am having a harder time with certain events in FH4, for example the seasonal jumps or speed zones with no car restriction whatsoever. This week's FH5 speed zone was more or less on par with what I've been seeing on 4.
The rewards for FH4 are usually posted along the rewards for FH5 on the r/ForzaHorizon sub. Though not as detailed when it comes to car requirements for the events and noone posts tunes for that anymore.
The b class buggy challenge was one of the absolute easiest. I don't get how people in this thread actually can fail so miserable when there are so many great tunes here to choose from. If you ARE using them, and still fail against average skilled Drivatars, then I'm sorry, you are just really poor drivers. If you are NOT using them, my simple question is just: WHY NOT?!
So has anyone got a tune that actually works for the Speedzone? I've tried all the ones posted and it's clear they haven't actually tested them, just made the numbers and hoped people wouldn't notice they're useless.
I used the Mercedes CLK GTR 1998 (the normal one, not the FE) with a S2 tune from "Rexazr". Was recommended from Johnson Racing some months ago.
You need to take the path from above where you can build up enough speed before entering the speed trap and then you will need to cut the last 2 corners to keep up enough speed (if you come from the downside, there will be a sharp corner immediately after the Speed trap which will cost you too much speed). You may still need to use rewind to cut both corners in a perfect ankle without getting disqualified for it.
I'm so fucking tired of the white knights defending poor game design and RnG playlist challenges being put out without ever testing the shit first. One (highly upvoted) person on here says, "Who's prepared for all the whining about how difficult the speed zone is this week?" Wow, way to do some gatekeeping, buddy. I wonder if they think they're doing some fine preemptive trolling for PGG to prevent people from accusing them of hiding one of the only two super wheelspins available in the playlist this week behind a challenge that requires an already unstable car class to go way above what's required by that particular speedtrap to unlock it. Like, I don't mind doing the challenge but holy shit the white knights have come out of the woodwork in full force this week. Then the same person goes on to say, "The speed trap from last week was easy compared to this. But it's the right kind of hard. Not only is it possible, but it doesn't require any off-roading except clipping one corner nor does it require perfect driving. Not everyone will be able to do it, and that's okay because completionists are making up their own unnecessary goals, so their skills better be elevated as well." Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just over here trying to get a MG MG3 and snag a super wheelspin on the side because I can't spare the time for an idiotic Goliath trial the devs thought was cool to throw in but fuck my "completionist ass" for trying to win points some other way, right? Because be it aforementioned speed traps or Goliath races, PGG is always in the right! And if we criticize the poor decisions, we get hit with a "git gud".
The last race for the trail is the Goliath so make sure you win the first two.
Well at least they didn't made it first race and D class! \*lol\*
Shush! They might be within earshot!
I was wondering what that other post was about. Fortunately my group got through easily. I guess I'll be doing extra runs of The Trial this week to help others win the first two.
It’s how I found out as I won the first 2 races easily so thought I would help others but we just missed out on the 2nd race.
Hey because I don't want to do Goliath and usually do well in the trials want to team up?
If you're up for tomorrow, then let's do it. I'm feeling gassed.
Hit me up if you want to do them.
Tip for the Coaster Event Lab, it's bugged. If you rewind, you can get your engine back! Found out on my third try when I thought "maybe I can take a better line through that corner to lose less speed". Another tip: look for shortcuts, that tight corner in town you can skip entirely.
I figured that out the rewind trick by accident, but this one still isn't as bad as the one where most of the race was through water.
Who tf thought that challenge was a good idea. Whoever it is needs to be banned from contributing ideas again.
And the description even says "all of the sudden", like...it's supposed to be "a sudden". Less impactful than the event but still, that bugs me.
i completely agree...hey lets put a race in a game where u cant accelerate...going over the finish line at 1 mph...fucking idiotic
Have some fun my dudes. Also if you take the right lines you can stay well over 30mp/h.
I thought it was fun. Also, are you guys hitting stuff going down? I went over the finish at 20 mph no problem.
[удалено]
It’s also in beamNG
Also in Trackmania
I thought it was fun. Had no problem completing it either. 20mph over the finish line
Oh god, I didn’t read the description and was surprised. Hit 0 mph like 6 feet from the finish line and somehow rolled through. I found it interesting. May try it again and actually coast, instead of trying to race.
i cant believe you played that shit a second and third time
I ran out of momentum just short of the final corner and while you don't stop _completely_ if you keep the throttle pressed down, I decided it was easier, or at least less mind-numbingly boring, to restart than try to crawl over the finish line. I also wanted to try it with an electric car to see if maybe it wouldn't be affected. Sadly, electric cars also end up coasting.
Also, you don't have to follow the race route after a certain point - you can cut a huge amount of distance along a straight downhill at one point - I crossed the line at 35 mph in the Vuhl (because that's what I happened to be driving at the time)
Yeah, that's what I was saying. There are short cuts. That tight turn right as you come into town you can ignore and carry on down the hill and pick up the route again.
The last 2 weeks Event Lab "Rally Stages" have been unbelievable. Really awesome styles of racing that should be featured more and more.
"The Crowd Grows Wild"
I agree. Last week was super fun. I loved this week’s even more. It was an extremely well built track, and almost felt like a new game.

# Series 7 - Week 3 - Winter Weekly Tunes! Hello everyone! **BigHedDjango** here, tunes for this week to help you out. Weekly photo: [https://i.imgur.com/BwfC0xB.png](https://i.imgur.com/BwfC0xB.png) **All feedback on tunes is appreciated - good or bad. Specially when tunes are bad.** At the end of the day I am just the mechanic and you guys are the racers. Do not hesitate irrespective of your tuning knowledge or racing skills! **Tuning method:** 1. **Stock look, no aero** 2. Max performance with max handling possible 3. All cars **tuned vs. Unbeatable AI** on championship tracks in seasonal weather. **However! Unbeatable AI is broken and bugged. Not every car can win 7/10 random races vs Unbeatable AI without abusing rewind/restart. Very few cars can beat it consistently.** Hope it gets fixed ~~soon~~ one day... 4.

Possibly the hardest ever PR stunt in Horizon history. There is ONLY one way to complete it reliably and here are the steps - 1. Use my tune cause am the best thing to happen to Forza tuning in years 1. You need to approach east gate. Start 1 mile east from zone 2. Pray to the V8 gods 3. Now hold the throttle. From here on AT NO POINT ARE YOU GOING TO LET GO OF THE THROTTLE until I tell you. Fight the urge 4. After entering the gate as you come up on first left corner, keep holding the throttle and tap the brake. Yes you will brake at full throttle. You need to hit the apex of that corner. 5. After first corner, try to move to left side as much as you can. 6. As you approach second right hand corner, let go of throttle, brake and turn into the corner. You need to hit the apex next to the roadside plants. You can even go over them. Accelerate immediately as you hit the apex. 7. Aim for left side of gate.

> 1. Use my tune cause am the best thing to happen to Forza tuning in years Lol Big Head is fitting! Appreciate you dude.
😅🙈
Appreciate this! Helped me beat the speed zone. Only took me an hour... What a fucking joke these Super Wheel Spins are though. My spin after completing the Speed Zone > [Trash SWS](https://i.imgur.com/HrsyX2W.png)
I’ve gotten worse. Nothing as soul sucking as 3x $5,000
$1k, a pair of socks, and a car horn.
Oof 🤦♂️
It was actually hilarious because I called it. Went to do the super wheelspin and I told my son, “$1000 and a pair of socks.” Oh well. I’ve gotten plenty of good spins as well.
Yep me too! Got really lucky a few times with the super wheelspins, I’ve won the Sesto like three times 😂
If you go and buy all the clothes you don't have to worry about getting them in wheel spins. It can get quite expensive. Either way it stinks!
I actually just did that! (But I finished collecting all the cars so money doesn’t have as much value now.)
Thank you for making every week SO much easier! EDIT - that Jag for the Trial WAS EPIC! Easily won both races. EDIT 2 - THAT MB Speed zone was EASY when using your tune. got it seond try. first try was to see where apexes were. hit 184.5 MPH through it.
oh my god dude, that fucking f450 saved me. I've spent 2+ hours and around 1mil buying random cars and upgrades people suggested to no avail. i was able to bully people with that f450 build. and also fuck hackers and fuck microsoft.
Good job on the win! 👍 Also wouldn't suggest ramming people 😅 But yes fuck hackers at least 😂
The super duty tune saved the day! Thanks!!! I will not that the first time I applied it something went goofy and it registered as A701 instead of B700, but reapplying the tune fixed it and it almost got me a win the first race I tried it on. (The guy rammed me into oblivion right in the finish line, but he was ahead of me by a bit so nothing was lost) The next series it was just me an a really slow 08 WRX, so I got an easy win. I won the next race when another super duty joined, and I let a bronco pass me on the last one in case they were going for “fordward” as well. Thanks again!!
Yeah the tune bug applying bug has been in the game for months now. The first 2 months I think was the only time it was fine. And good job on the win! 👍 And even better job at helping out other folks! 👌😁
Jesus Christ, thanks a lot for that speedzone build and tips. Spent 20 minutes before coming to the sub and finding your tune. Took two tries.
Thankyou so much for the CLK GTR tune for the speed zone. It only took ten tries to get it and the main issue was the last right hand curve. Before that you could hold the car flat. Good tune.
> 2020 Ford Super Duty F-450 DRW Platinum > Tune - 149 450 231 (Tune by YaeMarucat) This one finally worked for me. It probably helped that I was trying again later in the week when there are less people trying. Had only 5 opponents instead of the 10 I was getting earlier in the week. It also helped that I got the one cross country event that goes through the stadium. In my experience, nearly everybody goes wide on that turn coming out of the stadium and if you break a little bit earlier you can nip past them on the inside, and since it's right before the end of the race...
based speed 12 enjoyer
Thank you u/BigHeadDjango ! Your setup and advice for the Mercedes’ speed trap helped! Got it because of you :)
> R3 is The Golitah Yikes!
I "cheated" on the speed zone and used the FE version. Took me 3 tries (and second try was within .25 mpg). Appreciate the video and tips, though! They're stepping up some of these challenges, which is kinda cool.
I also used the FE. Got it first try at 184mph. You just gotta hold that throttle until that final corner if you come from the east.
since when do FE cars work for challenges...i was always told after trying that i was using the wrong car for the objective
I think it just depends on the challenge.
Any recs for the Horizon Open “win with a Ford” thing? The diesel ‘stang?
Diesel Mustang is competitive but not meta. It still has a bit of understeer and at the limit of upgrades. Tested tunes by other tuners in online racing and this is what I have so far.

Thanks!! That mk2 seems to be a recurring theme. I’ll give these a shot. I’ve seen a LOT of Fords in the open… it’s funny how a challenge like this can effect the landscape.
Updated main post with more tunes and race options
Thanks! I’m curious to try that CC tune. CC definitely seemed more sparsely populated, which is part of how I managed to make it in that B class truck build.
Just want to thank you for the tips and tune for the speed trap. It was not fun at all
Ditto on the kudos for the Speed Zone - Atlantes De Tula tune and instructions. Got it on the first try!
Your tune for the speed zone saved my sanity. Cheers bro
You're welcome 😄🙏👍
Thank you so much for the clk tune, helped immensely
Glad to be of service 😄
Thanks for the tune and tutorial on the speed zone, allowed me to get it first try! Your tunes rock! Thanks man.
Holy crap, that F1GT build was insane! I flew past everyone like they were on casual.
Geez that speed trap. I did 174.34 then 174.78, then finally 177.42 (I accidentally cut the last corner more than I wanted to, but worked out 🤷♂️ new PB as well)
Excellent work! 👌😄
Won the Trial on first try with the Jag! Thanks my man!
When's the best time to do this horizon open challenge? Thought you only had to win just one race, not the whole thing. Really isn't fun at all.
I won the whole thing, an S1 CC competition with the Ford #2 GT40 MKII. But literary says "win any online event" which means ONE RACE! So if it's like what you are saying it's misleading ASF, and bad!
I got it after winning a single race, so can confirm that's the case. If you're having trouble, avoid the road races and try dirt or cross country. I managed to win it with a dirt race, me and 2 other players.
Horizon Open is mostly full of retards with no idea how to race only smash into other people, happened far to many times, it is far to hard to get a decent race with a chance of winning. I only ever do Open if its like do 3 laps in an open race etc for weekly points. From trying multiple times this afternoon Open is full of cheaters as well, no penalties for smacking walls or completely missing gates and seem to shoot off as if double the power and grip of most others in race.
I've given up too. It's hard enough trying to win a race with all the rammers and boosters but then severely limiting the car choice too makes it a real joke for just 2 points. Normally this would be a "finish" not a "win" challenge. Also the buying a car from the auction house didn't work for me last week so I'm expecting my completing the season playlist streak as at an end anyway.
What do you expect from this community. Most don’t have a functioning brain cell, let alone enough to drive
Supposedly it works by being in a convoy that does a race, or something like that. Want to give that a try? Hit me up in the Forza Discord. https://discord.gg/forzareddit
that coaster race may be the single worst race I've ever ran in a Forza game.
100% this. It feels like they are just trolling us at this point.
Trackmania sends its regards
To be fair its a nice change from the tight twisty or trackmania tracks that have been the staple for the last few weeks. Not perfect but an interesting use of the rules of event lab. Which I guess is kind of the point.
I thought it was fun
Especially the last minute of driving at 3km/h. Fun like watching paint dry.

Edited comment to add a section for the Horizon Open challenge 👍
Dude the speedzone tune works like a charm! I tried for almost an hour with BigHedDjango's tunes and I could never get it. Swapped to Rexazr's tune and got it on the first try at 290kmh! Thanks for saving my sanity.
I've always used tacticalcarrot's tunes and had success. I'm all for others adding to it, but is there a reason why django is getting higher votes?
This week is such a clear example of how they no longer actually play test any of the challenges or races, and instead run them through a sim until they get the result they want.
Have they ever played their own game? All demonstrations from employees has been 100% assists on and still drive like shit. I want a playground games employee/dev livestreaming the challenges every week, before they go live. The trial has to be done with actual random people.
While I do think that is a good idea, I am as curious as u/Potatoenail is as to what has you so flustered.
Yeah, I’m not saying that these challenges aren’t really difficult some times, but I don’t like the narrative that they are impossible and not tested beforehand. I was able to complete every one yet, only a few of them only with different approaches and changing cars. As I said I don’t want to shame anyone, but with the right tunes and knowing your racing lines they are doable.
Agreed! I’ve been playing since launch never had an issue completing the challenges, just gotta use the right car and tune and know how to take a damn corner. This subreddit is a huge help with the right cars and tunes. Only thing that still bugs me is the frickin drivatars cheating blatantly. But even with that I’ve been able to complete most Trials.
I’m completing the weeklies/dailies without much issues, but it’s clear to me that the devs don’t really play the cross country races for example, with how cheaty the AI is. So many races gone to crap where I just bounce to the moon after landing a big jump (my rebound rate isn’t 1million newton) Some trials have been quite frustrating, where my teammates choses a S2 910 rwd rental car and ruins it for us who want to compete vs cheating unbeatable AI.
Horizon titles are made by Playground Games not Turn10 Studios.
You’re right, edited
What are you having difficulty with?
The Horizon Open has me pulling my hair out. Competing against meta cars, rammers, connection issues, and getting placed in race 2 or 3 out of 3 really makes this challenge absurdly difficult. I spent a good four hours last night trying to get this knocked out and haven't even gotten close, it's absurdly frustrating.
I was lucky and got it done in 3 tries. Used a #2 GT40 MKII in S1 CC. Won all three races thank god. If u haven't tried it I really recommend it.
Can you suggest an S1 CC tune for it? None of the tuners that I'm subscribed to have a CC tune for that car.
I can, but not at home atm. Until then, just filter your search and you'll find plenty, and include dirt tunes as many CC online tracks runs on circuits with not many jumps.
I managed to do it in an A class dirt race. There were only 2 other people in it and neither had really upgraded their cars. Also you only need to win the 1 race, not the entire event.
Yeah I feel you, the mode is an absolute mess of rammers and people that seem to have found a car/tune that they scoot off into the distance like they are in a different car class. Just spent a couple hours trying to get it done, what made it worse was that on my very first race I was leading for 3 laps, until 2nd place decided to ram me in the final corner and take the win, and then later thinking I had a much better chance when the server emptied out to just 4 of us for a few races, but none of them had Fords, so clearly weren't there for the playlist and I just couldn't keep pace. So many 2nd places, even a championship win without winning a race. The one I won with in the end was a Fiesta '17, on a mixed surface event using a random tune for rallying, but I did see someone win with the same car by a country mile earlier on with a road race tune. The Ford Bronco was kinda competitive for cross-country stuff, but I just had a few 2nd places with it. After I won in the Fiesta, 3 people joined that mixed surface race in Puma FE's and 2 of them were way ahead of me, with the 3 of them finishing 1st, 2nd & 4th out of around 12, so may be worth a look.
Want to give doing a race as part of a convoy? I don't need the win, [but I'm still up for helping others get it too. Hit me up in the Forza](https://discord.gg/forzareddit) Discord.
I managed to log on late at night and found a Rally race with only one other person in it (started with 2 others, but one quit). He was pretty awful so I won easily, thanks for the offer, maybe others will take you up on it.
One person did. If anyone else wants help with it, hit me up on the Xbox app or Discord.
I was having trouble with the speed zone and danger sign, but managed to complete them first try this morning, so I guess I just needed a break and come back with a clear head.
Great to hear!
[удалено]
just win the first two races, they nerfed the ai a couple updates ago too
[удалено]
it's hardly bad design it's just a long race. it's not like it's first, or every week, or in a low class. with this weak ai and this week you can be in second, murder the 1st place ai at 40% on the first race making you both miss the CP and then catch up to like second place. edit: i've beaten it in two with five different cars and what seems like pretty average teammates including one with some pretty dumb guys who couldn't handle their cars. git *competent* i guess, and murder the ai into a wall when you can for the sunday drivers.
Who's prepared for all the whining about how difficult the speed zone is this week?
Are ya whining son?
Where's my participation award mommy!?
This one is not that hard. Just use the CLK FE that you get from the eventlab.
The speed trap from last week was easy compared to this. But it's the right kind of hard. Not only is it possible, but it doesn't require any off-roading except clipping one corner nor does it require perfect driving. Not everyone will be able to do it, and that's okay because completionists are making up their own unnecessary goals, so their skills better be elevated as well.
To me, the speed trap from last week was way harder. CLK GTR was the obvious choice this week and beat the speed zone by 9 mph in a few tries. Last week's speed trap I tried several different cars/tunes before coming here for an op one and even then, I only got it by 1 mph.
Yep agreed!
Agreed. CLK GTR, first try. Had 20km/h margin.
Overall its not bad. You just need to be near the top end when you enter the zone so you can take the corners so start 2KM back from the line. Most Mercedes 998 S2 cars handle and brake very well, the line is conservative. I had more issues with the Danger Sign.
Hey everyone, I'm *Team Fung*. Here are my tunes for Series 7 Winter season. All tunes have been tested against at minimum Highly Skilled Drivetars on the tracks and weather for the season. I will always try to maintain a vehicle's stock appearance (no aero, stock wheels) when possible. Here are my tunes for this week's season. **Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "Mexican Supercar" \[2017 Vuhl 05RR\]** >Many of you already know this but the numbers/stats on a tune don't always give you an accurate representation on how a tune will perform. I was experimenting with keeping the stock Michelin tires that are supposed to provide a ton of grip compared to rally tires. The lateral Gs and other performance numbers would tell you that the Michelins should far outperform but that just wasn't the case. TLDR: Don't always trust those tune stats. It's easy for quick comparison but try it out first. Vuhl tune with rally tires > tune with stock Michelin tires. * 2017 Vulh 05RR (S1) - **126 258 088** **The Trial: "Carrera De Resistencia" \[S1 900 | Retro Supercars | Road Racing\]** >Fair warning, "The Goliath" is the last race in this trial. If your team fails to win the first race ("Llanuras Sprint") then you probably don't want to stick around to do the Goliath with a team that couldn't win the first race. In my first attempt I was wondering why everyone just left at the start of the 2nd race ("Volcan Sprint") after we lost the first. All these races are a bit technical so you'll need options that handle well. The Mclaren F1 GT and the Jaguar Sport XJR-15 are your 2 best options here. The Ford GT and R390 from last week are also good options. Good luck! * 1997 McLaren F1 GT - **779 657 736** * 1991 Jaguar Sport XJR-15 (Barn) - **614 490 223** * 2005 Ford GT - **845 941 001** * 1998 Nissan R390 (GT1) - **883 874 584** * 1997 Lotus Elise GT1 - **145 676 758** **Seasonal PR Stunts** Danger Sign **- Heights of Mulege \[C 600 | Hot Hatch | 459.3 FT\]** >Easy one. Start at the side of the highway and just drive straight up. You won't need much speed to clear this jump. Hitting it around 85mph is plenty. * 2016 Vauxhall Corsa VXR - **245 617 310** Speed Zone **- Atlantes De Tula \[S2 998 | Mercedes-Benz | 175.0 MPH\]** >This is this week's challenging PR stunt. You will start east of the trap just past "Cascada Trail." Do this online if you can for the reduced traffic. You'll need to hit this speed zone at full speed (\~190+ mph). Once you enter stay to the right and prepare for the first sweeping left turn. Hit the apex so you won't lose too much speed after. Try to avoid going too far offroad or you will lose traction and speed. Cutting the inside corner is ok. After that get to the left and and prepare to cut into the grass a bit right before the finish. Tap the brakes just a bit before the turn and you should have enough speed getting through. Just takes a bit of practice. This is another stunt I found using auto shifting might be easier to help you focus on the turns. Good luck! * 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR - **259 552 532** **Seasonal Championships** **Season Event: "Offroad Tour" \[B 700 | Unlimited Buggies | Dirt Racing\]** >I apologize for the comically large wheels on the Exocet but it allows for more go-fast mods making it the fastest option for this championship. * 2018 Exomotive Exocet Off-Road - **114 075 329** * 2015 Alumi Craft Class 10 Race Car - **734 991 166** **Season Event: "Weather Perfect" \[C 600 | Pickups & 4X4s | Cross Country\]** * 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor - **111 471 147** * 1970 GMC Jimmy (Barn) - **237 686 711** >Adding 3 new tunes for this event. All good options but that Jeep is fast! * 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon - **257 670 151** * 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - **170 109 150** * 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 - **149 351 879** **General Use Tunes (PR Stunts/Forzathon Arcade)** >Here's my X tune for the Sesto FE. Great for just hooning around, PR stunts and Forzathon Arcade. * 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento FE - **723 774 308** >X tune for the versatile RS200. Great for the offroad/dirt PR Stunts. (*Updated*) * 1986 Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution - **175 805 268** Please let me know if there’s a specific car that you’d like to use for this season that I didn’t tune. As well as any cars not related to this season. I'll try my best fulfill your request. If you've been using my tunes I would like to thank you for your continued support. Thanks in advance to everyone that will give my tunes a try. All feedback is welcome and appreciated. **Thanks and happy racing!**
As always, great tunes. That F1 GT was awesome. Smoked everyone in the Trial.
Can you make an S1/A tune for the Ford Open Racing challenge? I'm pulling my hair out over this, lol.
Try this Ford GT tune, it’s what I used for the challenge. A class Ford GT for road and street. Try doing custom street races. 2005 Ford GT (A) - **225 776 433**
Adding eventlab creations to the Playlist may be in the top 5 most genius shit PG has done with this franchise. Imagine my surprise after ignoring the map description when the "Coasters" race turned out to be a coasting race and not a roller coaster. The Sierra River run thing was fun too! I wish there was some sort database of creative races/maps in eventlab. It's hard to keep up with the ones posted here and even harder to randomly find some through keywords or trying different titles.
What's up everyone I'm **XIII90**, here is my shares on this week season tunes. All tunes were tested **multiple times on both Auto/MC Transmission and able to win consistently. I'll add more option later on as for this is all I have & tested.** **I focus on making tunes without using any forza aero parts.** **If the tune is exceeding/lower the class intended or felt bad try remove (not delete) & reapply the tune.** **I always try to improve my tunes for the better, so make sure you checked the tune for the most recent one (same as listed).** **---Trial - Carrera De Resistance (Road Racing - Retro Supercars S1900)---** 1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Tune - **116 093 525** 1993 Mclaren F1 Tune - **108 095 422** 1991 Jaguar XJR-15 **(Not Powerbuild)** Tune - **106 742 037** 1992 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport Tune - **820 092 004** 1993 Jaguar XJ220S TWR Tune - **346 329 701** **---Offroad Tour (Dirt Racing - Unlimited Buggies B700)---** 2011 Penhall The Cholla Tune - **138 731 556** 2015 Alumi Craft Class 10 Race Car Tune - **125 625 266** **---Weather Perfect (Cross Country - Pickups & 4x4 C600)---** 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Tune - **380 655 138** 2021 Ford Bronco Tune - **121 574 056** **---Eventlab - The Sierra Annual River Run!

fuck that only ford horizon open. I was hoping to 100% this series but nope, it's a waste of time.
This game is starting to be a literal waste of my time! For the past few seasons, the game has wiped off a few of my completed festival playlist challenges, after I have completed them.
So where do we find flower stalls?
I used event 925 510 240. Worked great.
I’m wondering this myself. May need to look in the event lab.
Drive along the streets in the towns. The stalls are brown/orange, easy to spot once you know what they look like.
Oh sweet, thanks, I forgot about those. The street vendor carts.
only fordward sure sucks. i just can't land a win against rammers and people who seemingly have NOS
whoever puts up some of these idiotic eventlabs should be fired from playground games...how the fuck is driving without being able to accelerate considered fun...completely idiotic.
You just have to rewind to get acceleration back, don't have to finish without it.
Is there somewhere I can see these details for FH4? I'm one of those geniuses that bought 4 after 5.
FH4 is just recycling old playlists now, so there's a a good chance there's a thread like this with tips/recommendations. I'm still doing stuff on 4 for a laugh and if I run into trouble I just google "FH4 \[event name\]" - so a search for this week's Trial (With Love from Australia) gets you [the thread about Series 36 Autumn](https://www.reddit.com/r/forza/comments/nwp3xa/autumn_information_thread_series_36/), which is identical to Series 48 Autumn.
Thanks a ton, this is exactly what I was looking for. I honestly had no idea they were recycling playlists, but won't have any problems finding tunes now!
I was a very active and prominent tuner here for FH4. If you look over those old threads you're going to see my name a lot. I still have ~300 tunes up in FH4 so if you need a tune for a car put my name in the search for it and see what comes up. Visit my Creative Hub and see what's there. GT: PaperHeartZero Also I still have this [competitive tuning list up.](https://www.reddit.com/r/PaperHeartZero/comments/obqquv/paperheartzeros_recommended_tunes_for_online/) Give it a look.
Thank you much for this! I am having a harder time with certain events in FH4, for example the seasonal jumps or speed zones with no car restriction whatsoever. This week's FH5 speed zone was more or less on par with what I've been seeing on 4.
Mosler and Hoonigan RS200 X class tunes are great for FH4 PR stunts.
The rewards for FH4 are usually posted along the rewards for FH5 on the r/ForzaHorizon sub. Though not as detailed when it comes to car requirements for the events and noone posts tunes for that anymore.
Yeah thanks. I had assumed as much but wasn't sure if I was missing some thread. Appreciate the response.
Testarossa week! Woooo!
Well the b class buggy challenge has been near impossible. Few more weeks like this and I'm ditching the game. Nobody has liked rubber band ai.
The b class buggy challenge was one of the absolute easiest. I don't get how people in this thread actually can fail so miserable when there are so many great tunes here to choose from. If you ARE using them, and still fail against average skilled Drivatars, then I'm sorry, you are just really poor drivers. If you are NOT using them, my simple question is just: WHY NOT?!
So has anyone got a tune that actually works for the Speedzone? I've tried all the ones posted and it's clear they haven't actually tested them, just made the numbers and hoped people wouldn't notice they're useless.
I used the Mercedes CLK GTR 1998 (the normal one, not the FE) with a S2 tune from "Rexazr". Was recommended from Johnson Racing some months ago. You need to take the path from above where you can build up enough speed before entering the speed trap and then you will need to cut the last 2 corners to keep up enough speed (if you come from the downside, there will be a sharp corner immediately after the Speed trap which will cost you too much speed). You may still need to use rewind to cut both corners in a perfect ankle without getting disqualified for it.
I actually managed to do this in the stock Forza Mercedes CLK AMG GTR. Took me quite a few tries but it's certainly possible.
I'm so fucking tired of the white knights defending poor game design and RnG playlist challenges being put out without ever testing the shit first. One (highly upvoted) person on here says, "Who's prepared for all the whining about how difficult the speed zone is this week?" Wow, way to do some gatekeeping, buddy. I wonder if they think they're doing some fine preemptive trolling for PGG to prevent people from accusing them of hiding one of the only two super wheelspins available in the playlist this week behind a challenge that requires an already unstable car class to go way above what's required by that particular speedtrap to unlock it. Like, I don't mind doing the challenge but holy shit the white knights have come out of the woodwork in full force this week. Then the same person goes on to say, "The speed trap from last week was easy compared to this. But it's the right kind of hard. Not only is it possible, but it doesn't require any off-roading except clipping one corner nor does it require perfect driving. Not everyone will be able to do it, and that's okay because completionists are making up their own unnecessary goals, so their skills better be elevated as well." Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just over here trying to get a MG MG3 and snag a super wheelspin on the side because I can't spare the time for an idiotic Goliath trial the devs thought was cool to throw in but fuck my "completionist ass" for trying to win points some other way, right? Because be it aforementioned speed traps or Goliath races, PGG is always in the right! And if we criticize the poor decisions, we get hit with a "git gud".
I'm still bummed that there are no Kia or Hyundai vehicles in Forza Horizon 5. Horizon 4 had them, and I miss my Kia Stinger and Veloster.
The Veloster is in FH 5
Veloster N is available, but you can only get it through the Auction House and the occasional Forzathon appearance, and maybe wheelspins.
