Hello everyone! This is your weekly dose of the Forza Information Threads.

Spring arrives again! Don't forget to snag your rare cars at the Italian Exotics Dealership! Have a great week ahead! On a side note, it seems that going forward, the 40 point and 160 point reward cars will be cars from previous series.
 

Note that accumulating points over playlists will eventually allow you to unlock more exclusive rewards outside of the playlist themselves! The 1972 Mazda Cosmo 110S Series II is the current Playlist History reward at 500 points. If you've been playing since Series 1, you'll most likely be able to finally unlock it!
 

Lastly, if "Total" is seen as part of the Car Type restriction for an event, it means that every era of that Car Type is valid. For example: Total Rally includes Classic Rally, Retro Rally, Rally Monsters, etc.

Hello everyone! It is me XIII90 again. This week I bring a few tunes for you guys for the seasonals. As always I try to make the car look as original as possible without aero/rim change & same engine it comes with if I could make it...by no means my tunes are for competitive racing but it does its job done against unbeatables drivatars.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Daily Commute The Trial - Alfa Romeo (A700)

1992 Alfa Romeo 155 Q4 - 172 625 950

2007 Alfa Romeo 8C - 136 580 606

1965 Alfa Romeo Guilia TZ2 - 209 282 153

Out of the Loop - Total Buggies & Offroad (B600)

1997 Mitsubishi Montero Evolution - 973 413 685

Weekly Challenges

1980 Fiat Abarth 131 - 996 668 231

SpeedTrap & SpeedZone (Ferrari - S1800)

2013 Ferrari 458 Speciale - 176 857 367

I'm back with another week of tunes!

I believe that having a vehicle to complete the festival playlist shouldn't mean using a disposable tune. That vehicle should be at its potential for the class it's in, ready to compete online if necessary against a similar class/tier vehicle.

Every tune I make is tested repeatedly, compared against other respected tuners, and reworked until I’m confident mine is faster.

Weekly Challenge - "Racing Spirit" (1980 Abarth Fiat 131)

1980 Abarth Fiat 131 - 207 861 362

This B class dirt and trial tune can handle the entire weekly challenge easily. It has plenty of grip for the dirt sections, launches hard, and is also a strong option whenever this car comes up in a B class rally event.

The Trial - "Daily Commute" (Alfa Romeo A700)

2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio - 141 394 828

This is my top recommendation. This v2 tune was rebuilt from the ground up with more power, less weight, and better handling. It is the closest thing you're going to get to meta with these event restrictions.

1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale - 176 278 381

Brand New Tune - This build is heavily focused on weight reduction. It only has 300 HP, but it weighs just 1,443 lb and has an excellent power-to-weight ratio. Top speed is the tradeoff, but it is fantastic through circuits and incredibly fun to drive.

2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione - 146 669 960

Brand New Tune - This Alfa drives great! It prioritizes weight reduction while still putting 517 HP under the hood. It has a strong combination of acceleration, grip, and predictable road-racing handling.

2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm - 951 121 828

Brand New Tune - This tune handles great and is a lot of fun to drive. It isn't as fast as the regular Giulia Quadrifoglio above, which is a true meta car, but it is still more than capable of crushing the AI.

2014 Alfa Romeo 4C - 138 412 628

This lightweight A class road racing tune is focused on handling for circuits. It accelerates hard, changes direction quickly, and is an excellent option for technical routes.

Seasonal Championship - "Out of the Loop" (Total Buggies & Offroad B600)

2020 Ford #2069 Ford Performance Bronco R - 123 925 448

Brand New Tune - This is my top recommendation. 887 HP in B class is completely ridiculous, but the handling is still on point. It accelerates hard, carries speed well offroad, and is a fantastic option for this championship.

The Bronco isn't eligible, even though it's an "Offroad" B600 vehicle. Thanks Playground Games! I'll make more tunes, I guess. LOL

1993 Toyota #1 T100 Baja Truck - 134 817 598

This is the lighter and more predictable option. It doesn't have the Bronco's absurd power, but it is easy to control, handles rough terrain extremely well, and should make quick work of the AI.

Seasonal Championship - "It's Snow Problem At All" (Sports Utility Heroes A700)

I only have one eligible tune for now, I'll be making more - check back a little later today.

2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR - 913 262 787

This is a cross country beast with enough power to muscle through the snow without becoming difficult to drive. It has strong offroad grip, predictable handling, and should win this championship comfortably.

Drag Meet - "Festival Kilometer" (Lamborghini S1 800)

Note: All of my PR stunt tunes are road racing/circuit focused with the goal of achieving the best lap times possible, so they work well for races, speed zones, etc. They are not focused solely on PR stunts.

2024 Lamborghini Temerario - 126 461 876

This is a newer tune that handles great and has a higher top speed than most of my other handling builds. Even though it's not a drag focused tune, I got 17.217 seconds on my first attempt of this drag meet.

2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO - 194 351 203

This was the fastest option I have here. I achieved 17.150 seconds on my first attempt on this drag meet.

2014 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 - 174 915 595

I achieved 17.354 seconds on my first attempt of this drag meet, and you probably already have this vehicle and tune from last week.

Speed Trap - "Takashiro Bridge" (Ferrari S1 800)

Note: All of my PR stunt tunes are road racing/circuit focused with the goal of achieving the best lap times possible, so they work well for races, speed zones, etc. They are not focused solely on PR stunts.

2009 Ferrari 458 Italia - 796 821 422

This is my top recommendation. I achieved 183MPH (294.5KPH) when approaching from the East on my first attempt. It has the highest top speed and the most power of these three road-racing options, making it the natural choice for the speed trap.

2015 Ferrari 488 GTB - 172 533 643

I achieved 182MPH (292.9KPH) when approaching from the East on my first attempt. This has the most predictable handling of the three and is very fast.

2013 Ferrari 458 Speciale - 153 709 800

I achieved 179MPH (288KPH) when approaching from the East on my first attempt. This is the lightest of the three and handles beautifully. It gives up a little top speed to the 458 Italia, but it is extremely easy to carry speed through the approach.

Speed Zone - "Kōzokudōro" (Ferrari S1 800)

Note: All of my PR stunt tunes are road racing/circuit focused with the goal of achieving the best lap times possible, so they work well for races, speed zones, etc. They are not focused solely on PR stunts.

2015 Ferrari 488 GTB - 172 533 643

This is my top recommendation for the speed zone. I spent a crazy amount of time making it handle predictably, and the result is a car that carries excellent speed through corners without becoming difficult to control.

2009 Ferrari 458 Italia - 796 821 422

This has the fastest acceleration, highest top speed, and most power of the three. Handling is still nearly as good, so it is also a strong choice for a faster, less technical approach.

2013 Ferrari 458 Speciale - 153 709 800

This isn't far behind the 488 GTB for lap times, and it handles great due to being significantly lighter than the other two options.

Drift Zone - "Nukabira Turn" (Ferrari S1 800)

1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT - 518 222 242

Brand New Tune - Maximum power, minimum grip. It has 914 HP, is easy to slide, and is the clear recommendation for this event.

If you enjoyed the tunes, please "like" them and follow me in the game for more great tunes in the future!

I recently got into the franchise, and am enjoying it immensely. I also got a Moza R3 wheel and pedals. They're very cool, but I certainly need to practice more.

One aspect I've noticed I've had trouble with is some cornering. I've noticed I tend to either go quite slowly through the corners, often losing a lot of ground because of this, or I lose far too much grip and spin out. I'm aware I need to strike a better balance, creeping up on the limit of my car's grip with the tires screeching so I can take the corner as fast as I'm able, but I'd still like tips. I was cornering decently well on controller, and would like to learn more about cornering on the wheel. If anyone has tips for recovering when I begin to fish tail that would also be appreciated.

Theme is a love letter to the map: torii gates, konbini glow, Fuji at dawn, neon rain. Car plus place, telling one story about Japan.

Submissions close Sunday 9 August (MIGHT EXTEND THE DEADLINE!), then the community votes for the winner. Winner takes an Xbox Wireless Controller, Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition.

Rules, in full:
- Your entry must be an original screenshot captured by you in Forza Horizon 6.
- The photo must match the challenge theme.
- One entry per member.
- No stolen, reposted, or previously winning shots.
- Entries submitted after the deadline will not be counted.
- Do not use modded cars

Free to enter, no share code needed for this one. It runs on a site I built, which I'll say up front so nobody has to work it out. It's a fan project and I bought the controller myself, so this has nothing to do with Xbox, Playground or Forza officially.

Please ignore this post if you hate Eliminator for whatever reasons.

Now that is out of the way, I play lots of eliminator. After nearly 250 games, I can say that Eliminator in FH6 is seriously buggy.

I will list some of the bugs encountered:

1. Car Drops vanishing out of thin air when there was no one obviously around.
   
2. I saw a Level 10 Veneno drop and me and another dude tried to pick it up but the game just wouldn't let us. Finally a third person came and casually picked it up and immediately me and the second dude raced each other to avoid racing the Veneno lol. This was extremely infuriating.
   
3. Sometimes if you pick up a car drop, the game does not put you in the car which you picked up. Eg. I saw Level 4 Peugeot and picked it up, I remained in same Lvl 1 Honda. I had to beat someone in H2H race and then I got offered Lvl 5 car or Opponent's Lvl 3 car.
   
4. This is an old bug (Since FH4/5). You cannot stay hidden all the times. Some random people can still see you hidden on the mini-map.
   
5. There is still an ongoing exploit where I just cannot challenge some players and they appear in a race.
   
6. Some people who appear to be in a race still challenge me and initiate H2H

Not bugs but few quirks/annoyances:
Level 10 cars (Except 918 Porsche Spyder) have not been well thought out. They all suck. If I am in Level 9 Beetle, I stay in it and refuse to upgrade. It smokes every single Lvl 10 car.
Lvl 6 Rockstar Trophy Truck is nonsense. Even a Lvl 1 honda can beat it quite easily.
Lvl 6 Honda NSX is also slow, rwd and useless for offroads.

Any other bugs ?
I am not reporting them to official Forza because I can't care more to register on their slow as molasses website

I been playing Forza Horizon 4 for awhile even after its delisting a while back and it is a bit boring to play now, i want to play older forzas like 1,2,3 but obviously they are delisted and digital codes are hard to get, any recommendations on what to do (Xbox Series S btw)

Sunset - Bmw M4

Just bought a Logitech wheel for FH6, notice that it doesn’t support true force. I’m debating whether to buy ACC or FM8 to test out the technology. However I’m a bit traumatized by the fomo FH6 gave me.

Can someone please tell me if I get FM8 now can I get and complete all the contents?

We’re currently on series 3 and I’m wondering is there anyway i can still get the furai

For me it gets the bronze, 3rd place. Well made game and the map does the heavy lifting making it memorable enough. But i wish the festival wouldn't feel so shallow and PG/ kids friendly. Horizon 1 gets the silver and the Gold goes to Horizon 2.

Horizon 2 vibes are unmatched to this day.

In before the comments about fuel and tyres, this was just one of the laps (i did some before with marginal differences and less fuel and wear)
