That forzathon challenge that involved using the reliant or tthe morgan three wheeler and completing three races with the car was really annoying to complete. I completed it with the morgan three wheeler.

I just blueprinted a one lap race with just Morgan cars at that Peabody short track, I always use this track for events like this.

Meh, 1-lap races, short tracks, used the side-mounted wheels add-on for the Reliant and no other drivatars had them, so not only was it quick but it was also entertaining as hell seeing everyone tip over at every single turn.

Should have done that instead of wasting like 4 dollars on a dlc car. It wasn't fun flipping every turn even with a load upgrade when I tried to use the reliant.

What do I have to do to win the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Horizon Edition? most of the HE cars I have had to buy (90% of the ones I own) and yet others seem to get the high end rare HE cars enough times that they have enough to sell :(

I don't want to sound like a whiney but the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Horizon Edition is one of the best cars in the game and maybe the best HE car, it's not like I am low level either, I dunno just seems to be something of a scam to me somewhere along the line :/

The next expansion should be announced soon surely, also where the heck is the Bugatti Chiron and the (RWB) Rauh Welt Begriff Porsche? and there doesn't seem to be anymore
#Forzathon's announced other then the next one in a few days time!

You, like me, probably missed your chance to win the Huracan HE as a wheelspin by coming to the game late.
They seem like they were early adopter prizes somewhat, along with the billion dollar glitch. Here's the list from FM.net.

The tinfoil hat wearer in me wants to think that the reason they haven't given anything away about the new cars this month is because any hint would give away the fact it's a Porsche. It must be the Porsche pack, everything else from the leak was released.. right?

Not yet.. tho a large part of the last few packs have all been 'leaked cars'

I think next Tuesday we'll be hearing something about the expansion.

I need to get back into this wonderful game. It got lost in the backlog for a while. My friend made some progress on my account and I was hoping to restart my career. There doesn't seem to be a way to do so. Anyone know a workaround? I found some tips involving canceling sync, etc., but they're not working for me. Kind of a weird decision to outright prevent fresh restarts.

Windows 10, BTW

Just got the new blizzard mountain pack and can't find it. Google shows me I need to have 3 festivals open? I just raced a mini-boss and now all show on the map are signs. Do I just find those and race people at random or am I missing something to get to the mountain?

I have the UE so played from day one, well in fact had early access of a week I think it was, I didn't see a '14 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Horizon Edition on the wheelspin let alone win one!

I have heard of this billion dollar glitch but it never happened to me or I tried to do it.

How or why are people selling the '14 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Horizon Edition then? they sell for about CR-6m and usually have a buy-out of CR-7m so there is no point in buying one to make money it's not worth it for CR-1m and the chances of picking one up cheap isn't going to happen as they always get jumped on and are CR-2.5m+ with 6+hrs to go usually.

So how are people getting them?

There is something strange going on here I think, I cannot imagine having just one '14 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Horizon Edition and thinking I will see it for CR-7m what are you going to do with the money, the only reason to have that much money or want/need that amount is to by a HE car like the Lamborghini Huracan HE.

Seems like a scam to me, bringing me on to the tiers that your Forza account is linked to, I have been playing since the first Forza game but because my PC won't run Forza Apex I won't get the 1000XP (it is something like that) so I can get to the next tier so when the next Forza game comes out I will miss out on a reward car :(

The location of Blizzard Mountain is at the Airport, you get flown there the first time in a helicopter.

So you need to have the Desert festival unlocked.

How long have you been playing, what level are you at?

I'm a level 20 drive time 5hrs and 19 races so far. Had it since launch but never had time to get into it. Kinda dogshit that I bought the mountain and I need to unlock it. But I'll look into opening the desert.

I'm the same with not playing Apex, kind of lame it even counts. but we'll roll over to the next tier quickly after the next game comes out and will still get great credit rewards each week.

I went back to horizon 1 and 2 and had like 70 different credit gifts to accept.

That does suck. But I find the points for buying tokens and DLC a little gross too. The tokens more than the DLC. So I'm in the same boat kind of. But I'm tier 11, so I'll take my weekly 500k and keep quite. :)

You could end up missing out on some flash car though :(

I have been trying to buy from the auction the Ferrari 488 GTB preorder car but when I go to buy one out it says there is a market place error so it knows that I am not supposed to have one :mad:

I also missed out on a Lamborghini Huracan HE car I clicked on one at CR-6m and as I clicked it flashed up the auction had ended :(

I don't get that list from the other day, why am I seemingly banned from getting one via a wheelspin?
 
It's just not available to be won from a wheel spin any longer they have a certain pool of cars available to be won at any one time.

If they release more then the current batch will be gone and subsequently will rise in price as they can only be obtained via the auction house.
 
I haven't played a ton of this and only wanted to jump in again when Microsoft finally allows multiple inputs, so I can use my shifter on PC, but kinda craved for driving some older cars again.
Updated my XB1, updated the game, bought an Alpine A110, drove it around a bit, decided to tune it a tiny little bit to rally spec...

Then found out the BRAKE BALANCE tuning in this game REVERSED. Setting brake balance to the front made the car spin when turning in and braking, brake balance to the rear stabilized the car under braking immensely. The explanation text next to the brake balance setting is correct (to the front -> understeer), just the slider does the exact opposite. Granted I haven't checked with other cars, but I'd bet it's the same, also checked telemetry to see if I was imagining this.

Wouldn't the price go down if they were available from wheel-spins though as there are more of them about?

I dunno I am tempted to just get one at CR-7m :/ and then see it announced that it is back on the wheel-spin or free from a #Forzathon :mad:
 
Yeah I mean the batch of cars which you can't optain via wheel spin will be worth more, just compare the batch that started the game and compare them to what's available now.

I got mine for 5.5 last week I'm a heck of a sniper I have 5 hypercars I hunt for and can make between 500k - 1.5m cr profit each time I snare one depending which one I get.

5.5m that's cheap, I picked one up this evening for 7m nobody else bid on it, once they start at 7m and the first bid takes it as the next amount is 7,710,000 and the buyout is usually 8m, they were starting about 6m last week, I just need that 2012 Mini John Cooper Works GP Horizon Edition now, but it is never for sale.

So forzathon started but I can't complete the objectives for some reason. What is the problem of this game with things not counting? I played 15 championships today and not a single one counted towards the total, but they are done so even if I play them again, it won't count.

I tried that S2 270+MPH Dart and also the C Mercury this evening and I was beaten twice by a different car, so I had a go at building my own and went back to the strip and have won twice in a row!

QUOTE TO VIEW THE CAR AND INFO

My time with your car was 28.2s. Not really great. Celica and Mercury Coupé are around 23s.

The FORZATHON has not started yet. The ingame counter is set wrong. It starts officially in 13 minutes from now.

I tried my car/tune and I did four showdown races, and I finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in that order and in the last three races I was getting beat by the same person and they were driving a [C] Willis Jeep, so I went off and built and tuned my own version and went back and won three out of three showdown races.

The thing with the time is the lower class cars get a head start and when they start all the other player clocks start and I was a third of the way up the strip before the others in their [S2] and [X] class cars started so with my [C] tune I was just over 25sec's.

I have shared the tune also.

I have also made a GAF design for it as well :)

Just tried the AMC pacer with a [C] tune and raced against a 74' Celica and Mercury Coupé and a Dart HE and I finished 3rd with just over 25sec's, I think with somebody that knows how to tune and set-up it could be the top dog in the drag racing.
 
Since I know you all in here better, I figured I might as well copy/paste my post from the Auto thread:

Finally finished Stage One of Norma Jean!




Mods:
H&R Springs
Bilstein shocks/struts
High Pressure Fuel Pump
Corksport Bypass Valve
Cobb Intake
Corksport turbo inlet pipe
StreetUnit Top Mounted Intercooler
Corksport full turbo back exhaust
Damon Rear Motor Mount
Stratified Stage 3 Tune


And I want to say that the Corksport exhaust sounds fuckin amazing. I think this might be the best sounding 4 cylinder I have ever heard. Its deep and rumbles, reminds me of a better STi exhaust.
 
I thought posting porn was a bannable offense.Be careful Shortt. :) So what's stage two look like for Norma?

Haha. Thanks man.

Stage Two is more cosmetic and handling. New wheels, then Corksport rear diff mount and Whiteline sway bars. Then S204 front lip, badge less grill and the back shaved. After that probably tint, vented brakes Hawk pads and upgraded lights all around.

Stage Three, if I get there, will be BNRS4 upgraded turbo, bigger brakes, front mounted intercooler, turbo manifold..etc etc

So yeah, quite a ways to go right now. Lol

Drag people must really get pissed at these forzathon events. I got like four messages about me cheating and being a bitch with the three races I did with an A class trans am.

I'm surprised I don't get this with my C class FJ40 done up in japari park colors, all I got was someone with an anime avatar saying "nice paint"

I thought about turning my super stock HE into a drag car, but race tires only mean it's stuck as S2 mule, and one easily eaten by a S1 super stock/mustang king cobra/C "king of cheap wins" mercury coupe

It's not cheating though, it's how the system the developer has created works, the only way out of it is to create class only drag races and then everyone will end up with the same car and tune so everyone draws and thus wins.

I saw somebody beat me in a different [C] class car so I went away and built my own to try it, it is not as bad as the top speed exploit imo, I only found out about that today with the Range Rover 2014 that does 305MPH with a friend to help on the speed camera.

I mean the first time I went to the drag-strip I went in my X999 Koenigsegg One:1 and got beat by a Dodge Dart so I thought Hmm, that's strange so got my Dodge Dart and I went back and I got beat then by a [C] Mercury and then I realised how it all worked, as I said in the #Forzathons I don't think it's an issue, if you are in there all the time doing it then yes.

I had to use a slightly tuned AMC Javelin X to unlock the Dart HE. I got third place with the slightly upgraded AMC Javelin X in a drag race.
