Tips:

EventLab errors

If you see no description in the EventLab tiles and get an error retrieving the event, this may be due Quick Resume. Close the game and start it again and the events should be available.

Forzathon not registering car or completion

This doesn’t happen to all players, but the Known Issues list at Forza Support includes this item. For the weekly, the Meyers Manx FE is not eligible; only the exact model listed will be eligible.

4

I’ve had to change video settings to quality mode and restart the game to get the weekly to trigger again.

Trailblazer was done first time using Renault 5 with XIII90’s tune 154 600 859

Did the dirt zone with a Hoonigan Group A Escort. Didn’t need a drift tune.

5

Really enjoyed the EventLab circuit but there is a couple of issues with it, my fastest lap was listed as 0.117 seconds and the race finished after only the 4th lap.

6

Well the trial I just tried was a glitchy mess, only 2 people in it and the drivitars kept glticthing out and teleporting into the lead.

Plus we lost the first race, we won the 2nd and got the reward at the end of the 2nd, didn’t get a 3rd race.

7

I didn’t enjoy it. Besides also encountering the issues you described I kept asking myself what the point of having to use an S2 car was. So many turns you can’t get to top speed at all. I got to know a lot of walls close up, though.

I am in hysterical laughter. No way could the creator have intended this.

Worse than Krazy Karts. :exploding_head::face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

So much worse.

The worst.

What did they do?!

I get the Evetlab error on PC which doesn’t know Quick Resume. Let’s see what a restart will do.

11

How is this possible when the restriction for the event is buggies and the Manx is not a buggy?

12

The buggies restriction is for the seasonal championship. Doing a single race you can choose the Manx.

13

If you think the eventlab race is bad, wait until you get to the buggy championship :smiley:

14

Up and until now I can’t get to the Eventlab challenge so to me that for now is worse.

Update: it does now start. Game restart was required.

15

Another case of randomly picking someone’s event to promote then changing the car to something inappropriate because they didn’t even look at it. Test the changes first ? hahahaha…

I did wonder but didn’t want to risk bugging the challenge.

17

I used the Ferrari Dino with Ugrundy’s tune for the Trial.
Smashed it! I won the first 2 races which I have never done before.

Yes, same with me - just before the 4th lap. It’s a good course once you start getting used to it. Best to use something small like the Xbow GT4 I’d have thought, as it’s all about grip not top speed.

19

I enjoyed the track layout after dropping the drivatar difficulty from unbeatable and maxing the aero settings. I used the BMW FE out of laziness. The wall snag in turn 1 is hilarious. It caught me in lap 2 when I missed my braking point. I can understand why it’s not for everyone though. I don’t think there’s a minimum difficulty on it but the prize is decent.

I don’t think the Buggy championship was that bad, I liked it.
Used a Baja for the circuit using an AWD tune by COMoonstars11.
The two trail races I used the Desert Dingo using Don Joewon Song’s RWD tune This one is tricky in the sense that you should touch the breaks as little as possible and be careful not to provide too much throttle coming out of a corner. Might be hard when using a controller.
In all cases went for manual shifting as that keeps speed.
