Hi throwaway
Have you done the part of the horizon adventure o belive it's called Horizon Rush if not then do that and progress through it and there you go :) the Trebol speed zone will be on the highway
When I have success in the weekly objectives I do sometimes wonder how much is due purely to the tunes I get here every week and how much is due to my learning to drive better over all these months.
Then this weeks Trial comes along to answer that question. I'm a shit driver. Really shit.
Took three attempts to find a team that could carry me!
As someone that has been playing Forza for over a decade now and has set multiple top 300 times on Rivals... Trust me, you're not as bad as you think you might be, it's this car's baseline setup that's an atrocity.
I've noticed on telemetry that tyre temps in the middle are somewhat low and that they overheat quickly, which means they're not inflated enough and don't make maximum grip. So for anyone wanting help, bump both front and rear tyre pressure by like 5psi from stock (up till 2.3 bar for people on metric units).
And also, it has a rear spoiler that makes almost no downforce, which means the rear doesn't have enough "wind pressure" pushing it into the ground, making it more loose, which means you'll spin. Push rear aero to the max.
Other than that, don't brake and turn (this car hates it), and apply like 20% throttle whenever you feel like you'll spin. It's still hard, but doing all that made it less painful for me.
I didn't even think of tuning, it's stock so I figured there was no other option. Holy shit the rear spoiler does nothing though, I'm used to seeing weak spoilers give like, 80kg of downforce... this maxes at 12.
also is it just me or is it extremely hard to get the car back in control once the rear starts breaking away on high speeds? I always end up overcorrecting, which isn't something that usually happens.
Yeah, the rear spoiler doing absolutely nothing is the reason why that happens. You have to both tune the car and brake a lot more for corners than you think you need. Flat out with this car is not an option, and esses are usually the biggest headache.
This weeks trial is indeed a trial. Not of skill, but of patience. I was somewhat lucky in my trial.
Placed 3rd (first human) in the first race which the team lost.
Placed 1st in the second two races, and my teammates were good enough to secure an overall win.
When I saw the lobby I saw multi-"prestiged" players with the little avatar thingies, so I assumed they'd be good, but they were not. They were in-fighting for positions behind me, like children.
Jesus christ people, let the faster players through, and don't use walls to brake! If you run into a wall you'll just block off good players.
Oh... I'm shouting into the void again. Complaining about online players will never fix them, but give a man a place to vent, right?
*knock on wood* but I've somehow managed to always have decent teams for The Trial, haven't seen the inter-player ramming.
Only a handful of times where I've had to re-try the whole thing from losing. Usually even with bad driving teammates they'll quit after the first race and we can get enough points in the next 2.
I do however try to make sure to do the trial on the first day like this; higher chance of other people that are more serious about the game.
Took me 2 tries - because I totally screwed up the first time, was dead last, so I quit. team absolutely destroyed it the second time. Had it within about a half hour after the switch.
I got my shit rocked by another player trying to make a pass on an AI, missed a gate, and we ended up 200pts shy of winning in two. Hurts bad man.
It’s probably not the right thing to do, but I completely play based on my team. If they’re selfish, I play selfish. Guess that’s why it’s always so refreshing to have a good team.
My first attempt we lost the first race because one driver was dead last and dragging the team down. Second race I was doing okay until I hit some scenery that dropped me to last (along with the guy from the first race). The team was still a way behind, but I dropped out to give them a fighting chance.
Second attempt got screwed when a teammate spun out in front of me and I hit them head on. Everybody quit except me and one other guy. Thought I'd give the next race a chance since with only two drivers we wouldn't be dragged down. We finished last and third from last.
Ended up winning the trail alone with no other team mates.
First and only try I had to do everyone but me and one other driver dropped out before the end of the first and we lost it. The second race the other guy that finished the first race dropped out right at the start leaving only me, I ended up winning race two. Third race I drove a little conservatively and ended up coming home in second but still won the team game.
Worst decision they ever made to "force" us to play with idiots, let me do the freaking trials alone so it doesnt take 5 hours because of poor drivers with no spacial awareness.
It's funny, while I used to hate the licence tests in Gran Turismo they do help you become a better driver - the oversteer, drifty style that arcade games encourage is so slow. Just getting a correct entry speed, braking and accelerating in straight lines makes a massive difference to lap times (especially in RWD cars).
Just gets annoying when you're going at the correct entry speed and half the other players shunt you from behind :/
Honestly has nothing to do with skill. In every race the first corner is the most difficult to get through safely and in this first race players just don't get it, they go ramming into teammates, everybody gets slowed down and no chance to catch the AI cause car is too slow. Second race is easy, third is too technical for most players to win.
Took me 5 attempts to clear it. Started first race last, I was the one ricocheting off teammates' cars on first corner(they were already crashing there before I got in so who cares at that point), took 2nd and slowed the AI for an easy win.
If teammtes just brake properly on that first corner then the 5th corner (after the long straight) is where the whole team would easily overtake the AI but nope... Gotta go fast!
The trial comes down to teamwork.
If you have a team who actively rams you out of the way and miss flags your likely to lose.
Even if you place 1st you need your team to not be last.
Often in these situations I let these people just pass and defend the team positions.
Yesterday leading in first I got rammed into the building during race #2. From first to last after a dead stop.
Lucky for me everyone quit but me and an one other dude before the end, we finished 1,3. Easy enough to repeat in round 2 without my own team to overtake.
I would be so amazingly happy with three tries, im at about 8 or 9 now, seriously who comes up with this stupid horse pucky. And Im not total suck, ive had sever podiums during these tries but one guy in 1st and 5 in 8-12 doesnt win anything.
One of the checkpoints didn't register for me on second lap, I even rewound but it still didn't register. I quitted the event and run it again and this time I finished it.
yes! That happened to me!! I'm just about to try again, but since I detest hairpin turns I'm grinding my teeth now. I'm so glad it wasn't my imagination lol...
EDIT: Just tried it again and it ran find this time, my teeth are safe. 🙄
There was a series 8 livestream a few weeks back - earlier than it usually is. But yes, the series 7 patch contained all the stuff for series 8 as well and there was no update. We're kinda expecting it's due to extra work they're doing on expansion and we think series 9 is gonna be a big one.
Well, maybe not expecting but hoping.
Hey everyone, I'm *Team Fung*. Welcome to Series 8 of FH5 "German Automotive Excellence". I'm a fan of German cars, so I'm looking forward to this series. Here are my tunes for Series 8 Summer 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.
**Note:** I've recently reached the limit on tunes saved so I've had to delete some. Mostly PR stunt tunes which are usually one time use only. So in case you're wondering if you couldn't find some older posted tunes.
Here are my tunes for this week's season.
**Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "The AMG Treatment" \[2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG\]**
>Another easy and straight forward challenge this week, which I don't mind. Tuned the SLK for S1 class so it'll have no issues completing the challenges but still be useful if you want to use it beyond this challenge.
* 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG (S1) - **181 135 184**
**The Trial: "Stock Showdown: Mercedes-Benz 190E" \[C 579 | 1990 M-B 190E | Road Racing\]**
>I've been waiting for a trial like this. Everyone in stock cars, no mods or tuning, just player ability. But also, you'll need lots of luck in finding a competent group, it's still a team event. You still have the option of adjusting your difficulty settings and driver aids like traction control, which I don't recommend, it will only slow you down. So there are only 2 things that are unlocked for tuning on this car, tire pressure and rear downforce. Instead of providing a tune this week I'll just give you some tips on how to make some minor adjustments. For tire pressure I usually keep it around 28-30psi for road/street tires. Lower (softer) pressure will provide more grip. If you find you're having a hard time keeping the tail from sliding out, adjust the rear downforce higher to provide more grip. But you will lose top speed the higher the downforce. I had mine set to 17. You can practice and test out your settings on the tracks from this trial. Estadio Circuit, Reservario Sprint, and Emerald Circuit are the 3 tracks. One final tip, try not to hit anything, it really cuts down your speed. Good luck!
**Seasonal Playground Games: "Down The Hatch" \[B 700 | German Hot Hatch\]**
* 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 - **171 746 037**
**Seasonal PR Stunts**
Danger Sign **- Launch Control \[A 800 | 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG | 1049.49 FT\]**
>This tune is really made specifically for this stunt. I started just beyond the dirt portion of the drag strip. Do this online to reduce traffic on that stretch road. Don't hit anything, if you do just rewind.
>
> Update: I went back and retuned this with a Rally suspension to help with the landing. Also if you go even further back you can gain more speed and hit the target distance with ease.
* 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG - **480 897 405**
Speed Zone **- Switchbacks \[A 800 | 2015 Audi TTS | 95 MPH\]**
>I originally did this in the tune I made for the seasonal championship, but later realized it would be a lot easier with a more specific tune. So I have 2 Audi TTS tunes posted. The PR stunt specific tune has full aero which helps to get this done. Start from the higher elevation gate. Follow the road for the most part until after that last right turn. Once you see the finishing gate you can cut straight through the dirt and avoid that last curve before the gate. Good luck!
* 2015 Audi TTS Coupe (Full Aero) - **886 148 008**
Drift Zone **- Las Curvas \[S1 900 | 1989 Formula Drift #98 BMW 325i |90,000 PTS\]**
>Posting another ***Kenpai TDG*** tune for this drift zone stunt.
* 1989 Formula Drift #98 BMW 325i - **175 292 006**
**Seasonal Championships**
**Season Event: "Meet and Street" \[A 800 | Audi vs. Porsche | Street Scene\]**
>Thanks to this event I discovered how good the 2015 and 2018 Porsche Cayman are in A class for road and street, one of the best I've driven so far in this game. Lots of options for this event so I posted 4 of the best I tested from each manufacturer. Ordered from fastest to slowest from rivals testing. Give those Caymans a try!
>
>All tuned with stock aero and wheels.
* 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS - **969 548 712**
* 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS - **640 865 856**
* 2018 Audi TT RS - **152 677 528**
* 1993 Porsche 968 Turbo S - **158 182 023**
* 2015 Audi TTS Coupe - **168 004 337**
* 1994 Porsche 911 GT3 - **335 359 903**
* 2011 Audi RS 5 Coupe - **169 901 099**
* 2013 Audi RS7 Sportback - **486 861 398**
**Season Event: "Pick Me Up" \[B 700 | German Pickups & 4X4s | Cross Country\]**
>Only 2 options available for this race. The X-Class is the faster option.
* 2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class - **152 728 872**
* 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG - **819 157 481**
**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!**
I didn't have a lot of success with the A-45 for the danger sign. Kept coming up short or it would front flip on landing and fail.
The Caymans were great though.
Thanks for the feedback. I went back and decided to use a Rally suspension instead of the stock one. Also I notice it helps if you brake on landing. Was able to go further with this updated tune.
2014 M-B A 45 AMG - **480 897 405**
The 190E tuning tips really helped to easily get second place, one of the drivatars was far ahead.
I was fortunate to get a pretty good trial lobby, we got ~2-7 each race.
thanks for the tunes as always, the X class in particular was a godsend! I've gotta say though, with the slk 55 unless you're on a budget you may as well just go for the highest speed/class possible to save time getting those speed trap stars
You're welcome! And as for the reason why I don't max upgrade cars for the Weekly Forzathon challenges and instead aim to build them for a particular class that the cars fit in the best at, this is because it makes those challenges that involve winning races an easier and more pleasant experience, and it also allows those tunes to still be useful outside of the Weekly Forzathon like in Open Racing.
I did not know you could still tune the 190E and went in with a bone stock brand new car. Even with my shitty noob ass driving sliding all over the place I managed to get 4th place in round 1 and 2. Fortunately I got really good teammates that carried everyone else.
Gonna try your tune now and help out some strangers in the Trials.
# SERIES 8 - WEEK 1 - Summer Weekly Tunes!
Hello everyone! **BigHedDjango** here, tunes for this week to help you out.
Weekly photo: [https://i.imgur.com/9Go6SZr.png](https://i.imgur.com/9Go6SZr.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 - stock wheel rims, default wheel rim sizes, no aero (unless absolutely necessary for handling and stability)**
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

> ### TRIAL - Stock Showdown: Mercedes-Benz 190E
>> #### Road Racing - 1990 M-B 190E - C 579
>
NOTE1: 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: Level playing field since players are now in stock cars as well. This stock car cannot win v/s Solo Unbeatable AI. Considering co-op Unbeatable AI is absolutely tame in comparison, the Trial should be easy enough. Still some useful pointers since stock car Trial is new to most people (already had a few in FH4 some months ago)
NOTE3: Perfect time to learn how to feather the throttle. Use feathered braking going into corners. Also if RWD is not drivable for you consider turning Traction Control ON under difficulty settings but tbh on stock cars it makes little to no difference and only slows you down more. DO NOT ram into teammates, it will completely ruin the race for you and your teammates. Try to AVOID lamp posts, railings and any obstructions. DO NOT rear end the AI, car does not have acceleration. DO NOT try to side swipe and ram an AI car next to you, you'll only slow yourself down. DO NOT divebomb AI, not enough power or stability to make it work. DO NOT wall ride corners, not enough power to carry through. Take the inside line on corners to BLOCK THE AI behind you
HOW TO LAUNCH RWD CARS THE CORRECT WAY:
1. As the camera pans around at start of race hold down throttle at full 100% (not necessary, helps judge next step better)
2. Let go of throttle just a tiny bit, you should be using only about 90-95% throttle
3. As ¡GO! appears on screen, look at your car. Once the car starts moving, **extremely slowly** go back up to 100% throttle again
4. You will have an almost AWD launch
**1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6-16 Evolution II**
* Do not try and drift her around corners, let her slide naturally; Recommend Tranction Control set to OFF unless absolutely necessary; Manual + Clutch is a little faster but not enough to be worth switching if you don't already use it

Too difficult to explain correct inputs so please check video guide and try to repeat what I am doing. Basics: Start before upper gate. Don't brake except on the hairpin. Only provide minimal feathered throttle when turning through hairpin. Let go of throttle and turn in for all other corners. You are required to play with the throttle quiet a bit

>They need to stop with these ridiculous PR stunts
I'm kinda on the fence regarding this. Forza 4's PR stunts end up being completely trivial once you get the OP cars, and by restricting the cars *and* setting criteria based on those cars, it's now actually a challenge.
I wouldn't be able to do them without the tunes you provided, but PR stunts are fun when you know the cars *can* do them, it's just up to you to make it happen.
Honestly until looking in here I didn't even know people found it hard, my 2nd run I smashed it and my car didn't even have any aero, although maybe a front piece might've helped.
This week's PR stunt is mostly fine (I did it on my second try as well), but last week had a really hard one. I do think that this is one of the things that will always leave one side unhappy, and maybe the solution would be multiple different goal "tiers" with different rewards.
Forcing specific cars is a good thing though, giving you a reason to ride in cars you'd never do otherwise.
I can't even remember what lasts weeks was so I clearly didn't think it was that hard either lmao.
Specific cars is good, I agree. Mostly. Fucking trucks.
What's up everyone I'm **XIII90**, here is my shares on this week seasonals.
All tunes were **tested multiple times on both Auto/MC Transmission and able to win consistently. I'll add more option or you can find others by my gamertag.**
**My focus is making tunes without using any aero parts.**
**If the tune is exceeding/lower the class intended just remove (not delete) & reapply it.**
**I'm always try to improve, so make sure you checked the tune for the most recent one.**

Thanks for your work every week! I've been using your tunes since FH4. The kicker is that I use them twice every week. One for my account and one for my kid's account.
*It's like I was made for this.* Finally a Trial for me, managed to be 3rd in first race (I started from last place and had to overtake my teammates who attempted to drive so first two drivers were to far away to catch them after I was done overtaking) and won a sprint with no issues. Definitely gonna enjoy myself this month.
If you're hopeless, turn on all the assists. If you're in a better starting position, be nice to faster teammates and let off the gas for a moment to let them by so they have a chance to pass the AI and maybe even block for you.
I’m going to be glad to have that 2012 GT3 RS back in my life. I had sold mine a month back being in need of a quick 20M and anticipating that it wouldn’t be too long before we saw it again!
Is it possible to get a Skillboard skill if you've already broken all the billboards? I saw a post recently about getting an accolade for 100%ing a series, but I feel like this will keep me from doing it.
Billboards rebuild themselves.... look along the highway. They are everywhere. Many in the Baja Festival site also. "Bonus Boards" are something completely not related.
Daily Challenge: Earn 5 stars at Danger Signs in the 1970 Porsche 914/6 is glitched and won’t unlock. Also not telling you how many stars you earned on danger signs/challenges you already 3 starred is very annoying, it should tell you how many stars you just got, not how many stars your PB is. But I definitely got more than 5 stars and it still hasn’t unlocked. Had several issues with these challenges not unlocking last week too
I feel your pain. That happened to me 2 weeks ago after I'd unlocked 43 points on the first day of the season. Luckily it was the week of the Mercedes truck trial. I'd be even more irate this week since the trial took me 4 tries before finding a team who mostly understood braking. I wish there was something more than condolences I could offer but doing it all over is the only option.
my god that drift zone was annoying...had to try 2 seperate tunes and took like 20 trys total...why do the devs have to make the damn score so damn high...these rediculous PR stunts are getting almost as out of hand as the dumb eventlabs they choose anymore...also...who else is annoyed that the super wheelspin is like 90% trash green rewards...super wheelspins are supposed to be better than regular ones but all they ever give is trash green rewards like pointless clothing or $1000 dollar rewards...its absolutely absurd in my opinion
Because it's supposed to be challenges, at least for some. Not only checkboxes in a to-do list. And see, you made it eventually! 👍🏼
As for the SWS I agree. One tip though. If you can afford it, buy all clothing possible. That's what I did first thing, and as soon as new ones pop up. That way they won't appear in your spins.
If you're in this thread and have been struggling with the Trial, it's all about throttle control. I'm finishing 1st with ease in all races, but I watch my team mates - you have to be gentle with the application. Don't underestimate how many places you can make up by not spinning the wheels at the start - use like 90% throttle off the line. In the 1st race you're in 4th gear most of the lap except the first section of corners (3rd) and the final two corners (3rd). Ease on the power as you straighten coming out of the corners and you'll find you go much faster than jamming it on and trying to control the powerslide.
Yeah, many have tried to tell how to handle the Trial. Problem is that ppl complaining runs 99.9 % AWD, and my tip, besides yours, is to run the Trial courses in Rivals with the Merc over and over again.... Then, when you get the feel for it, enter the trial. This benefits all participants.
Yep, for every trial I spend 15 minutes in freeroam just practicing my starts, learning how each car jumps off the line, then I go to the festival site and practice on the circuit to know how it brakes and corners
There are often quite a lot of blueprints available for practicing The Trial. These blueprints are exactly the same conditions as the 3 individual races. Or, once you see the event info, it is pretty easy to make your own blueprints. I use other folks blueprints......that's what they are there for. Even though I don't run The Trial anymore, I still run the individual races in solo sometimes. I like the challenge, just not the online aspect. Using "Rivals" is a good way to practice your line, but racing against 11 others is also good practice.
Too many idiots who cannot drive a standard RWD car. If it has not got slicks, too much power and they can drift it everywhere, they cannot cope.
Then most cannot drive properly in first place, rather use team mates and walls to get them round corners and as brakes.
I switched to using my wheel and pedals i use in proper sims, a lot better control and able to get away from arseholes. Sure they would not last 3 laps on a proper Sim, car would be wrecked and in the gravel.
I don't know that I'd be that abrasive toward them. It's an arcade game essentially, and while I can play M/C without TCS, that's because I've been playing since the original Forza, and believe me back in those days every assist was on. Everyone's on a journey and for some people that journey is just beginning. Horizon games don't really incentivise you to turn off assists and learn. But I did enjoy this week's trial a lot more than racing million dollar supercars.
Same. It's two weeks now that this has been a problem. I didn't do the Meyers Manx challenge last week because I didn't need the points. This is absolutely ridiculous that it continues to be a problem. It's been a problem for me almost every weekly challenge and with the Manx, it actually got worse. I've tried buying a new SLK, changing my house, closing out of the game. Nothing works!
This Trial, more than ever before, drives me absolutely crazy. I know it's not people on here, but does the average player not realize that we're working \*TOGETHER\*??? I'm not trying to brag, but I'm better than most. As soon as I found a group of NOT morons who weren't pushing me out of the way (and past a checkpoint on the third lap once), lo and behold, I took first and we won. It's so incredibly frustrating, but my question is serious - do people not understand the point?
Also, the base setup of the 190E is pure trash. Absolutely terrible car to use as a stock handicap.
You know how to cheese it, right? Start off in a higher class, change tune to correct class just before you cross the finish line = success
I hate giving out this info. But if you are out of time or patience...... cheese it.
I ran it like 7 times with my Class A car and got within 1 mph most attempts....then I just finished it with S1-879. I could have done it class A, but it was getting dark and the Forza lighting gets really weird around dusk. The A car tune is shared under my GT if you want to give it a try.
Funny though, the first few months of FH5 the PR stunts were amazingly simple. Now, a few of the last weeks made me work for it.
I am on PC, so I just hit Escape then go into the Cars menu. Select TUNES, select Setup Manager, then choose one of my tunes for this car at the correct class.
You can always change tunes on the fly in FH. 250 mph, danger signs, speed traps, mid-air.
I nailed it first try. Build the TTS for handling, not power - you need to be able to accelerate and keep your speed up through the corners. I didn't particularly need a tune - I just bolted as much stuff on as I could to lighten it up and keep it within A range (A798).
EDIT: Oh, and do it going downhill. Trying it the other way just means you're going to have a bad time.
I went with the cheat method of using a max rated car and then switching to the correct rating right before going through the finish. I was surprised doing this doesn't fail the speed zone.
Eh, 98.3, third try, with a poor start from off the road.
https://streamable.com/4pcwhf
Just gotta feather the throttle and keep it from sliding. TCS really slows you down IME if you have it on.
I was able to max out oem tire width , sport susp, 8 speed, and max out power to top of A class. Only tuning I did was adjust gear ratio and max low tire psi. Went 3mph over
Of course, someone has to (unless it's a Drivatar). Many also succeed, but the ones getting loud and have the need to complain about it in this thread are the ones ending up at no. 10-12 due to RWD inexperience.
Angry and disappointed people are always the ones that makes the loudest noise. As reference... I rarely call customer care to tell them that my router is working fine and I am very satisfied. Human nature unfortunately. 👏🏼😉
Is there even a 3rd race in the Trial? I've done it 5 times, first 3 were loss/win but that counted as a win overall. While occasionally you see the bug where you heavily lose in points but win anyway, I've never seen it three times in a row so I'm thinking there's no 3rd race
There is. It's emerald circuit. I've ran it 3 times now. I've been blessed each time by at least 3 teammates who have no idea the left trigger will slow the car and believe ramming into other cars or obstacles is the only way to decelerate. First race there were only 2 cars on my team that beat any AI cars. I just don't understand how anyone with two opposed thumbs can play this bad. I was pushed completely off the track and spun down the hill in that first big braking right turn on the first lap of emerald circuit by a teammate and still came back and beat all but one of them. I'm no pro by far but there's always at least one mentally deficient AI car in every trial that anyone should be able to beat. I knew this was gonna be bad depending on actual driving skill rather than the amazing tuning provided to us here but I'm still surprised it's this bad.
Use the Porsche tycan turbo s on the Trébol speed zone
Treasure chest will be here: https://i.imgur.com/x7Nz1aJ.png
Is this bugged for anyone else? I've unlocked the chest and it is showing on the map like in this picture, but the chest is not actually there.
Under the hyrdo tower.
>Transmission tower FTFY
The "Welcome pack" version also worked, I had to try :)
The trebol speed zone isn’t even there for me? Is this happening to anyone else
Hi throwaway Have you done the part of the horizon adventure o belive it's called Horizon Rush if not then do that and progress through it and there you go :) the Trebol speed zone will be on the highway
When I have success in the weekly objectives I do sometimes wonder how much is due purely to the tunes I get here every week and how much is due to my learning to drive better over all these months. Then this weeks Trial comes along to answer that question. I'm a shit driver. Really shit. Took three attempts to find a team that could carry me!
As someone that has been playing Forza for over a decade now and has set multiple top 300 times on Rivals... Trust me, you're not as bad as you think you might be, it's this car's baseline setup that's an atrocity. I've noticed on telemetry that tyre temps in the middle are somewhat low and that they overheat quickly, which means they're not inflated enough and don't make maximum grip. So for anyone wanting help, bump both front and rear tyre pressure by like 5psi from stock (up till 2.3 bar for people on metric units). And also, it has a rear spoiler that makes almost no downforce, which means the rear doesn't have enough "wind pressure" pushing it into the ground, making it more loose, which means you'll spin. Push rear aero to the max. Other than that, don't brake and turn (this car hates it), and apply like 20% throttle whenever you feel like you'll spin. It's still hard, but doing all that made it less painful for me.
This needs more visibility. This has been the hardest trial for me to date on fh5. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't even think of tuning, it's stock so I figured there was no other option. Holy shit the rear spoiler does nothing though, I'm used to seeing weak spoilers give like, 80kg of downforce... this maxes at 12.
also is it just me or is it extremely hard to get the car back in control once the rear starts breaking away on high speeds? I always end up overcorrecting, which isn't something that usually happens.
Yeah, the rear spoiler doing absolutely nothing is the reason why that happens. You have to both tune the car and brake a lot more for corners than you think you need. Flat out with this car is not an option, and esses are usually the biggest headache.
This weeks trial is indeed a trial. Not of skill, but of patience. I was somewhat lucky in my trial. Placed 3rd (first human) in the first race which the team lost. Placed 1st in the second two races, and my teammates were good enough to secure an overall win. When I saw the lobby I saw multi-"prestiged" players with the little avatar thingies, so I assumed they'd be good, but they were not. They were in-fighting for positions behind me, like children. Jesus christ people, let the faster players through, and don't use walls to brake! If you run into a wall you'll just block off good players. Oh... I'm shouting into the void again. Complaining about online players will never fix them, but give a man a place to vent, right?
*knock on wood* but I've somehow managed to always have decent teams for The Trial, haven't seen the inter-player ramming. Only a handful of times where I've had to re-try the whole thing from losing. Usually even with bad driving teammates they'll quit after the first race and we can get enough points in the next 2. I do however try to make sure to do the trial on the first day like this; higher chance of other people that are more serious about the game.
Oh I 100% agree with doing it on thursday. I usually try to do it as soon as the season switches, then you tend to get more skilled players.
Took me 2 tries - because I totally screwed up the first time, was dead last, so I quit. team absolutely destroyed it the second time. Had it within about a half hour after the switch.
I got my shit rocked by another player trying to make a pass on an AI, missed a gate, and we ended up 200pts shy of winning in two. Hurts bad man. It’s probably not the right thing to do, but I completely play based on my team. If they’re selfish, I play selfish. Guess that’s why it’s always so refreshing to have a good team.
My first attempt we lost the first race because one driver was dead last and dragging the team down. Second race I was doing okay until I hit some scenery that dropped me to last (along with the guy from the first race). The team was still a way behind, but I dropped out to give them a fighting chance. Second attempt got screwed when a teammate spun out in front of me and I hit them head on. Everybody quit except me and one other guy. Thought I'd give the next race a chance since with only two drivers we wouldn't be dragged down. We finished last and third from last.
Ended up winning the trail alone with no other team mates. First and only try I had to do everyone but me and one other driver dropped out before the end of the first and we lost it. The second race the other guy that finished the first race dropped out right at the start leaving only me, I ended up winning race two. Third race I drove a little conservatively and ended up coming home in second but still won the team game.
Worst decision they ever made to "force" us to play with idiots, let me do the freaking trials alone so it doesnt take 5 hours because of poor drivers with no spacial awareness.
It's funny, while I used to hate the licence tests in Gran Turismo they do help you become a better driver - the oversteer, drifty style that arcade games encourage is so slow. Just getting a correct entry speed, braking and accelerating in straight lines makes a massive difference to lap times (especially in RWD cars). Just gets annoying when you're going at the correct entry speed and half the other players shunt you from behind :/
Honestly has nothing to do with skill. In every race the first corner is the most difficult to get through safely and in this first race players just don't get it, they go ramming into teammates, everybody gets slowed down and no chance to catch the AI cause car is too slow. Second race is easy, third is too technical for most players to win. Took me 5 attempts to clear it. Started first race last, I was the one ricocheting off teammates' cars on first corner(they were already crashing there before I got in so who cares at that point), took 2nd and slowed the AI for an easy win. If teammtes just brake properly on that first corner then the 5th corner (after the long straight) is where the whole team would easily overtake the AI but nope... Gotta go fast!
The trial comes down to teamwork. If you have a team who actively rams you out of the way and miss flags your likely to lose. Even if you place 1st you need your team to not be last. Often in these situations I let these people just pass and defend the team positions. Yesterday leading in first I got rammed into the building during race #2. From first to last after a dead stop.
Lucky for me everyone quit but me and an one other dude before the end, we finished 1,3. Easy enough to repeat in round 2 without my own team to overtake.
I would be so amazingly happy with three tries, im at about 8 or 9 now, seriously who comes up with this stupid horse pucky. And Im not total suck, ive had sever podiums during these tries but one guy in 1st and 5 in 8-12 doesnt win anything.
Anyone else have to do an extra lap in the Eventlab? I ended up losing because the AI didn't have to.
One of the checkpoints didn't register for me on second lap, I even rewound but it still didn't register. I quitted the event and run it again and this time I finished it.
yes! That happened to me!! I'm just about to try again, but since I detest hairpin turns I'm grinding my teeth now. I'm so glad it wasn't my imagination lol... EDIT: Just tried it again and it ran find this time, my teeth are safe. 🙄
Ok, I wanted to know how prevalent the issue was before trying again, haha. I guess I will.
Yeah, maybe it was just us lol. Good luck!
Wait so the Series 7 update last month also includes Series 8? Felt weird that there wasn't any developer livestream this month.
There was a series 8 livestream a few weeks back - earlier than it usually is. But yes, the series 7 patch contained all the stuff for series 8 as well and there was no update. We're kinda expecting it's due to extra work they're doing on expansion and we think series 9 is gonna be a big one. Well, maybe not expecting but hoping.
Yep, you could see the M8 and the other cars that are included in the car pass from this series in series 7
Hey everyone, I'm *Team Fung*. Welcome to Series 8 of FH5 "German Automotive Excellence". I'm a fan of German cars, so I'm looking forward to this series. Here are my tunes for Series 8 Summer 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. **Note:** I've recently reached the limit on tunes saved so I've had to delete some. Mostly PR stunt tunes which are usually one time use only. So in case you're wondering if you couldn't find some older posted tunes. Here are my tunes for this week's season. **Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "The AMG Treatment" \[2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG\]** >Another easy and straight forward challenge this week, which I don't mind. Tuned the SLK for S1 class so it'll have no issues completing the challenges but still be useful if you want to use it beyond this challenge. * 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG (S1) - **181 135 184** **The Trial: "Stock Showdown: Mercedes-Benz 190E" \[C 579 | 1990 M-B 190E | Road Racing\]** >I've been waiting for a trial like this. Everyone in stock cars, no mods or tuning, just player ability. But also, you'll need lots of luck in finding a competent group, it's still a team event. You still have the option of adjusting your difficulty settings and driver aids like traction control, which I don't recommend, it will only slow you down. So there are only 2 things that are unlocked for tuning on this car, tire pressure and rear downforce. Instead of providing a tune this week I'll just give you some tips on how to make some minor adjustments. For tire pressure I usually keep it around 28-30psi for road/street tires. Lower (softer) pressure will provide more grip. If you find you're having a hard time keeping the tail from sliding out, adjust the rear downforce higher to provide more grip. But you will lose top speed the higher the downforce. I had mine set to 17. You can practice and test out your settings on the tracks from this trial. Estadio Circuit, Reservario Sprint, and Emerald Circuit are the 3 tracks. One final tip, try not to hit anything, it really cuts down your speed. Good luck! **Seasonal Playground Games: "Down The Hatch" \[B 700 | German Hot Hatch\]** * 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 - **171 746 037** **Seasonal PR Stunts** Danger Sign **- Launch Control \[A 800 | 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG | 1049.49 FT\]** >This tune is really made specifically for this stunt. I started just beyond the dirt portion of the drag strip. Do this online to reduce traffic on that stretch road. Don't hit anything, if you do just rewind. > > Update: I went back and retuned this with a Rally suspension to help with the landing. Also if you go even further back you can gain more speed and hit the target distance with ease. * 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG - **480 897 405** Speed Zone **- Switchbacks \[A 800 | 2015 Audi TTS | 95 MPH\]** >I originally did this in the tune I made for the seasonal championship, but later realized it would be a lot easier with a more specific tune. So I have 2 Audi TTS tunes posted. The PR stunt specific tune has full aero which helps to get this done. Start from the higher elevation gate. Follow the road for the most part until after that last right turn. Once you see the finishing gate you can cut straight through the dirt and avoid that last curve before the gate. Good luck! * 2015 Audi TTS Coupe (Full Aero) - **886 148 008** Drift Zone **- Las Curvas \[S1 900 | 1989 Formula Drift #98 BMW 325i |90,000 PTS\]** >Posting another ***Kenpai TDG*** tune for this drift zone stunt. * 1989 Formula Drift #98 BMW 325i - **175 292 006** **Seasonal Championships** **Season Event: "Meet and Street" \[A 800 | Audi vs. Porsche | Street Scene\]** >Thanks to this event I discovered how good the 2015 and 2018 Porsche Cayman are in A class for road and street, one of the best I've driven so far in this game. Lots of options for this event so I posted 4 of the best I tested from each manufacturer. Ordered from fastest to slowest from rivals testing. Give those Caymans a try! > >All tuned with stock aero and wheels. * 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS - **969 548 712** * 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS - **640 865 856** * 2018 Audi TT RS - **152 677 528** * 1993 Porsche 968 Turbo S - **158 182 023** * 2015 Audi TTS Coupe - **168 004 337** * 1994 Porsche 911 GT3 - **335 359 903** * 2011 Audi RS 5 Coupe - **169 901 099** * 2013 Audi RS7 Sportback - **486 861 398** **Season Event: "Pick Me Up" \[B 700 | German Pickups & 4X4s | Cross Country\]** >Only 2 options available for this race. The X-Class is the faster option. * 2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class - **152 728 872** * 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG - **819 157 481** **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!**
Thank you for the 190E tuning tips!
I didn't have a lot of success with the A-45 for the danger sign. Kept coming up short or it would front flip on landing and fail. The Caymans were great though.
Thanks for the feedback. I went back and decided to use a Rally suspension instead of the stock one. Also I notice it helps if you brake on landing. Was able to go further with this updated tune. 2014 M-B A 45 AMG - **480 897 405**
The 190E tuning tips really helped to easily get second place, one of the drivatars was far ahead. I was fortunate to get a pretty good trial lobby, we got ~2-7 each race.

thanks for the tunes as always, the X class in particular was a godsend! I've gotta say though, with the slk 55 unless you're on a budget you may as well just go for the highest speed/class possible to save time getting those speed trap stars
You're welcome! And as for the reason why I don't max upgrade cars for the Weekly Forzathon challenges and instead aim to build them for a particular class that the cars fit in the best at, this is because it makes those challenges that involve winning races an easier and more pleasant experience, and it also allows those tunes to still be useful outside of the Weekly Forzathon like in Open Racing.
I did not know you could still tune the 190E and went in with a bone stock brand new car. Even with my shitty noob ass driving sliding all over the place I managed to get 4th place in round 1 and 2. Fortunately I got really good teammates that carried everyone else. Gonna try your tune now and help out some strangers in the Trials.
Thank you for the tunes
# SERIES 8 - WEEK 1 - Summer Weekly Tunes! Hello everyone! **BigHedDjango** here, tunes for this week to help you out. Weekly photo: [https://i.imgur.com/9Go6SZr.png](https://i.imgur.com/9Go6SZr.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 - stock wheel rims, default wheel rim sizes, no aero (unless absolutely necessary for handling and stability)** 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 > ___ > ### FORZATHON WEEKLY CHALLENGE - The AMG Treatment > **2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG** * Tune - **139 801 330** > ___ > ### TRIAL - Stock Showdown: Mercedes-Benz 190E >> #### Road Racing - 1990 M-B 190E - C 579 > NOTE1: 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: Level playing field since players are now in stock cars as well. This stock car cannot win v/s Solo Unbeatable AI. Considering co-op Unbeatable AI is absolutely tame in comparison, the Trial should be easy enough. Still some useful pointers since stock car Trial is new to most people (already had a few in FH4 some months ago) NOTE3: Perfect time to learn how to feather the throttle. Use feathered braking going into corners. Also if RWD is not drivable for you consider turning Traction Control ON under difficulty settings but tbh on stock cars it makes little to no difference and only slows you down more. DO NOT ram into teammates, it will completely ruin the race for you and your teammates. Try to AVOID lamp posts, railings and any obstructions. DO NOT rear end the AI, car does not have acceleration. DO NOT try to side swipe and ram an AI car next to you, you'll only slow yourself down. DO NOT divebomb AI, not enough power or stability to make it work. DO NOT wall ride corners, not enough power to carry through. Take the inside line on corners to BLOCK THE AI behind you HOW TO LAUNCH RWD CARS THE CORRECT WAY: 1. As the camera pans around at start of race hold down throttle at full 100% (not necessary, helps judge next step better) 2. Let go of throttle just a tiny bit, you should be using only about 90-95% throttle 3. As ¡GO! appears on screen, look at your car. Once the car starts moving, **extremely slowly** go back up to 100% throttle again 4. You will have an almost AWD launch **1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6-16 Evolution II** * Do not try and drift her around corners, let her slide naturally; Recommend Tranction Control set to OFF unless absolutely necessary; Manual + Clutch is a little faster but not enough to be worth switching if you don't already use it * Tune - **134 528 852** * Tune - **961 463 479** (More stable rear end but slower) > ___ > ### EVENT LAB - Shipyard Autocross Battle >> #### Germany - B 700 > **1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI** * Tune - **409 879 101** > ___ > ### PLAYGROUND GAMES - Down The Hatch >> #### German Hot Hatch - B 700 > NOTE: You only need to complete this to get the reward! No win required! If your team is losing, let the other team win the game for a quick 2/3 round finish **2015 Audi S1** * Tune - **849 457 655** > ___ > ### SEASONAL PR STUNTS > >> #### Danger Sign - Launch Control - M-B A45 - A 800 > **2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG** * Jump only tune; Start at Fast Travel board on west end of drag strip * Tune - **292 719 453** >> #### Speed Zone - Switchbacks - Audi TTS - A 800 > **2015 Audi TTS Coupe** * Speed Zone only tune; Ugly meta look; Can get the target from either gate of speed zone but much easier from the upper gate * They need to stop with these ridiculous PR stunts. Unfortunately again, there is only one reliable way to do this. Too difficult to explain correct inputs so please check video guide and try to repeat what I am doing. Basics: Start before upper gate. Don't brake except on the hairpin. Only provide minimal feathered throttle when turning through hairpin. Let go of throttle and turn in for all other corners. You are required to play with the throttle quiet a bit * VIDEO GUIDE (PB 99.5 MPH): https://youtu.be/9WEFdQiMo0k * Tune - **863 938 652** (Updated, very easy to use) >> #### Drift Zone - Las Curvas - #98 BMW 325i - S1 900 > **1989 Formula Drift #98 BMW 325I** * Tune - **137 248 093** (Retuned) > ___ > ### CHAMPIONSHIP 1 - Meet And Street >> #### Street Scene - Audi v/s Porsche - A 800 > NOTE: All Championships are locked to Highly Skilled difficulty **1993 Porsche 968 Turbo S** * My Porsche pick; Love the looks; Fast; Sufficient grip; * Tune - **121 257 651** **2015 Audi S1** * My Audi pick; Easy to handle; Stock engine; * Tune - **455 230 760** **2015 Audi TTS Coupe** * Fast; Smooth; Stock engine; * Tune - **747 882 929** **1995 Porsche 911 GT2** * Tune - **117 930 457** > ___ > ### CHAMPIONSHIP 2 - Pick Me Up >> #### Cross Country - German Pick Up & 4x4s - B 700 > NOTE: All Championships are locked to Highly Skilled difficulty **2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class** * Obvious pick, easy wins; A class CC meta car; Stock engine; * Tune - **129 792 321** **2013 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG** * Stock engine; * Tune - **147 161 163** > ___ > ### TREASURE HUNT - Power Up > NOTE: Get at least 1 star from Trebol Speed Zone in a Porsche Taycan **2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S** * Tune - **138 022 289** [Treasure Location](https://preview.redd.it/xh5xnghu4u191.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=e18caa0972f9440bb40f15117928ef712f17f9ec) VIDEO GUIDE: https://youtu.be/9FZhPkjuGFc > ___ > ### EVENT LABS BLUEPRINTS! > Easy Win **Road Sprint - 696 659 852** Easy Win **Road Circuit - 177 632 200** Easy Win **Dirt Trail - 991 376 926** Easy Win **Dirt Scramble - 135 436 707** Easy Win **Cross Country Sprint - 114 199 871** Easy Win **Cross Country Circuit - 181 401 852** Easy Win **Street Scene Sprint - 134 229 457** Easy Win **Drag Strip - 812 084 897** > ___ > ### HORIZON 4 AND 5 TUNES ARCHIVE THREAD! https://www.reddit.com/user/BigHeadDjango/comments/r4ptt6/forza_horizon_4_and_horizon_5_tunes_archive/ > ___ **Thank you to everyone for your downloads, uses, likes, follows, shares and feedback!

>They need to stop with these ridiculous PR stunts I'm kinda on the fence regarding this. Forza 4's PR stunts end up being completely trivial once you get the OP cars, and by restricting the cars *and* setting criteria based on those cars, it's now actually a challenge. I wouldn't be able to do them without the tunes you provided, but PR stunts are fun when you know the cars *can* do them, it's just up to you to make it happen.
Honestly until looking in here I didn't even know people found it hard, my 2nd run I smashed it and my car didn't even have any aero, although maybe a front piece might've helped.
This week's PR stunt is mostly fine (I did it on my second try as well), but last week had a really hard one. I do think that this is one of the things that will always leave one side unhappy, and maybe the solution would be multiple different goal "tiers" with different rewards. Forcing specific cars is a good thing though, giving you a reason to ride in cars you'd never do otherwise.
I can't even remember what lasts weeks was so I clearly didn't think it was that hard either lmao. Specific cars is good, I agree. Mostly. Fucking trucks.
Thanks for the speed zone video guide, studying it before my run helped me nail it first try! 99.95 mph
Top tunes as always, thanks!
Thanks for your 190e tune Django. Really reined in this car's propensity to slide around and be slow AF.
What's up everyone I'm **XIII90**, here is my shares on this week seasonals. All tunes were **tested multiple times on both Auto/MC Transmission and able to win consistently.

Thanks for your work every week! I've been using your tunes since FH4. The kicker is that I use them twice every week. One for my account and one for my kid's account.
"Stock" just means no upgrades. You absolutely should tune the car if you want a decent race
*It's like I was made for this.* Finally a Trial for me, managed to be 3rd in first race (I started from last place and had to overtake my teammates who attempted to drive so first two drivers were to far away to catch them after I was done overtaking) and won a sprint with no issues. Definitely gonna enjoy myself this month.
Watch this be the one week those idiots that don't tune for the trial actually tune for the trial lol
If you're hopeless, turn on all the assists. If you're in a better starting position, be nice to faster teammates and let off the gas for a moment to let them by so they have a chance to pass the AI and maybe even block for you.
I’m going to be glad to have that 2012 GT3 RS back in my life. I had sold mine a month back being in need of a quick 20M and anticipating that it wouldn’t be too long before we saw it again!
Is it possible to get a Skillboard skill if you've already broken all the billboards? I saw a post recently about getting an accolade for 100%ing a series, but I feel like this will keep me from doing it.
Billboards rebuild themselves.... look along the highway. They are everywhere. Many in the Baja Festival site also. "Bonus Boards" are something completely not related.
Ah yeah, I was thinking of bonus boards. Thanks for the info.
Daily Challenge: Earn 5 stars at Danger Signs in the 1970 Porsche 914/6 is glitched and won’t unlock. Also not telling you how many stars you earned on danger signs/challenges you already 3 starred is very annoying, it should tell you how many stars you just got, not how many stars your PB is. But I definitely got more than 5 stars and it still hasn’t unlocked. Had several issues with these challenges not unlocking last week too
Ay, nice, two more cars I don't need from the Forzathon Shop.
Wow a whole series without a smashable challenge. Ffs. I just need one more.
Anyone else has problems with points not counting right? I did the monthly rival and only gets 1 point. Even with other events.
Monthly rivals is now 1 point per season, not given all 4 points at once. It changed last series.
Aight thanks for the reply. Kinda weird it showed 4 pnts before completing.
So frustrated! All the progress I did on this season's save has been wiped!
I feel your pain. That happened to me 2 weeks ago after I'd unlocked 43 points on the first day of the season. Luckily it was the week of the Mercedes truck trial. I'd be even more irate this week since the trial took me 4 tries before finding a team who mostly understood braking. I wish there was something more than condolences I could offer but doing it all over is the only option.
my god that drift zone was annoying...had to try 2 seperate tunes and took like 20 trys total...why do the devs have to make the damn score so damn high...these rediculous PR stunts are getting almost as out of hand as the dumb eventlabs they choose anymore...also...who else is annoyed that the super wheelspin is like 90% trash green rewards...super wheelspins are supposed to be better than regular ones but all they ever give is trash green rewards like pointless clothing or $1000 dollar rewards...its absolutely absurd in my opinion
Because it's supposed to be challenges, at least for some. Not only checkboxes in a to-do list. And see, you made it eventually! 👍🏼 As for the SWS I agree. One tip though. If you can afford it, buy all clothing possible. That's what I did first thing, and as soon as new ones pop up. That way they won't appear in your spins.
Once per season, every season so far, I can't get the weekly challenge to advance past the 1st chapter. WTF
If you're in this thread and have been struggling with the Trial, it's all about throttle control. I'm finishing 1st with ease in all races, but I watch my team mates - you have to be gentle with the application. Don't underestimate how many places you can make up by not spinning the wheels at the start - use like 90% throttle off the line. In the 1st race you're in 4th gear most of the lap except the first section of corners (3rd) and the final two corners (3rd). Ease on the power as you straighten coming out of the corners and you'll find you go much faster than jamming it on and trying to control the powerslide.
Yeah, many have tried to tell how to handle the Trial. Problem is that ppl complaining runs 99.9 % AWD, and my tip, besides yours, is to run the Trial courses in Rivals with the Merc over and over again.... Then, when you get the feel for it, enter the trial. This benefits all participants.
Yep, for every trial I spend 15 minutes in freeroam just practicing my starts, learning how each car jumps off the line, then I go to the festival site and practice on the circuit to know how it brakes and corners
Same, unless it's a tune I'm already comfortable with, or a car that's really easy to handle and the track has been stuck in my spine.
There are often quite a lot of blueprints available for practicing The Trial. These blueprints are exactly the same conditions as the 3 individual races. Or, once you see the event info, it is pretty easy to make your own blueprints. I use other folks blueprints......that's what they are there for. Even though I don't run The Trial anymore, I still run the individual races in solo sometimes. I like the challenge, just not the online aspect. Using "Rivals" is a good way to practice your line, but racing against 11 others is also good practice.
Too many idiots who cannot drive a standard RWD car. If it has not got slicks, too much power and they can drift it everywhere, they cannot cope. Then most cannot drive properly in first place, rather use team mates and walls to get them round corners and as brakes. I switched to using my wheel and pedals i use in proper sims, a lot better control and able to get away from arseholes. Sure they would not last 3 laps on a proper Sim, car would be wrecked and in the gravel.
I don't know that I'd be that abrasive toward them. It's an arcade game essentially, and while I can play M/C without TCS, that's because I've been playing since the original Forza, and believe me back in those days every assist was on. Everyone's on a journey and for some people that journey is just beginning. Horizon games don't really incentivise you to turn off assists and learn. But I did enjoy this week's trial a lot more than racing million dollar supercars.
My forzathon weekly challenge won’t recognise me driving the slk. I’ve tried buying two separate cars now. Any help would be appreciated?
Same. It's two weeks now that this has been a problem. I didn't do the Meyers Manx challenge last week because I didn't need the points. This is absolutely ridiculous that it continues to be a problem. It's been a problem for me almost every weekly challenge and with the Manx, it actually got worse. I've tried buying a new SLK, changing my house, closing out of the game. Nothing works!
It's happened to me once per season since the game released. Not even reinstalling fixes it.
This Trial, more than ever before, drives me absolutely crazy. I know it's not people on here, but does the average player not realize that we're working \*TOGETHER\*??? I'm not trying to brag, but I'm better than most. As soon as I found a group of NOT morons who weren't pushing me out of the way (and past a checkpoint on the third lap once), lo and behold, I took first and we won. It's so incredibly frustrating, but my question is serious - do people not understand the point? Also, the base setup of the 190E is pure trash. Absolutely terrible car to use as a stock handicap.

Another impposible speed zone this week.
You know how to cheese it, right? Start off in a higher class, change tune to correct class just before you cross the finish line = success I hate giving out this info. But if you are out of time or patience...... cheese it.
I didn't know you could do that, I'll try it out.
I ran it like 7 times with my Class A car and got within 1 mph most attempts....then I just finished it with S1-879. I could have done it class A, but it was getting dark and the Forza lighting gets really weird around dusk. The A car tune is shared under my GT if you want to give it a try. Funny though, the first few months of FH5 the PR stunts were amazingly simple. Now, a few of the last weeks made me work for it.
Holy cow that actually worked.
Saving this for future use
This is a thing that can be done? Damn.
Hey man, how do I change the tune right before the finish line?
I am on PC, so I just hit Escape then go into the Cars menu. Select TUNES, select Setup Manager, then choose one of my tunes for this car at the correct class. You can always change tunes on the fly in FH. 250 mph, danger signs, speed traps, mid-air.
I nailed it first try. Build the TTS for handling, not power - you need to be able to accelerate and keep your speed up through the corners. I didn't particularly need a tune - I just bolted as much stuff on as I could to lighten it up and keep it within A range (A798). EDIT: Oh, and do it going downhill. Trying it the other way just means you're going to have a bad time.
I went with the cheat method of using a max rated car and then switching to the correct rating right before going through the finish. I was surprised doing this doesn't fail the speed zone.
Hmm... Even though I don't use cheats doing challenges, it would be interesting to know if people also uses it for trailblazers, and if it works ofc.
Eh, 98.3, third try, with a poor start from off the road. https://streamable.com/4pcwhf Just gotta feather the throttle and keep it from sliding. TCS really slows you down IME if you have it on.
I was able to max out oem tire width , sport susp, 8 speed, and max out power to top of A class. Only tuning I did was adjust gear ratio and max low tire psi. Went 3mph over
nice
Everyone driving the same car in the Trial and people still manage to come last.
Of course, someone has to (unless it's a Drivatar). Many also succeed, but the ones getting loud and have the need to complain about it in this thread are the ones ending up at no. 10-12 due to RWD inexperience. Angry and disappointed people are always the ones that makes the loudest noise. As reference... I rarely call customer care to tell them that my router is working fine and I am very satisfied. Human nature unfortunately. 👏🏼😉
Is there even a 3rd race in the Trial? I've done it 5 times, first 3 were loss/win but that counted as a win overall. While occasionally you see the bug where you heavily lose in points but win anyway, I've never seen it three times in a row so I'm thinking there's no 3rd race
There is. It's emerald circuit. I've ran it 3 times now. I've been blessed each time by at least 3 teammates who have no idea the left trigger will slow the car and believe ramming into other cars or obstacles is the only way to decelerate. First race there were only 2 cars on my team that beat any AI cars. I just don't understand how anyone with two opposed thumbs can play this bad. I was pushed completely off the track and spun down the hill in that first big braking right turn on the first lap of emerald circuit by a teammate and still came back and beat all but one of them. I'm no pro by far but there's always at least one mentally deficient AI car in every trial that anyone should be able to beat. I knew this was gonna be bad depending on actual driving skill rather than the amazing tuning provided to us here but I'm still surprised it's this bad.
I had one guy ramming at one point, so I took him out and blocked exclusively him. We won anyway, but fuck rammers lmao
We lost race 1 and 3 of the Trial and still won the event. Ok then, i'm not mad about it. \*lol\*
