Very very hard the danger sign in winter, suggestion?

EDIT
just done with my Agera rs and winter tires

4

Yeah, found this one a bit tricky too, also did it with the Agera in the end. Took quite a few runs, starting to wonder if I’m imagining things but I’d swear some of my older downloaded tunes aren’t performing as I remembered.
Had 5 for this car but couldn’t seem to generate enough speed in any of them so deleted them all and downloaded a more recent one from ECT LOCO… got it 2nd try! :+1:t5:

5

I noticed this with tunes last week in the CC event…had a really good tune on the Ariel offroad car., handled really well…hadn’t used it for months but, when tried it last week, the tune was useless, the handling was atrocious.

6

Was definitely a challenge, Mam Tor was the Danger Sign that nearly defeated me back when I first started playing FH4.

What sorted me then, sorted me now - TVR Sagaris FE with FullNietzsche’s “Mam Tor” tune on it. Second run with it, nailed it! :smiley:

So - thanks chief! :slight_smile:

This was quite difficult. I tried it with all my usual fast cars, but I think the snow go in the way and I kept losing traction. I eventually cracked it with a purpose-tuned D-type that I maxed out and reduced the spoiler and raised the car with rally suspension at maximum height. I then fiddled with the gearing and settled on a (theoretical) top speed of about 467kph - with snow tyres - ha! Anyway, it worked 1st try, so I must have gotten something right. I’m not sure if the tune will good for anything else as I left all the other components unchecked. Oh, I also took off the Stability and Traction control for a bit of extra oomph.

I had no problem with the danger sign but for now I’ve given up on the Royal Botanic Gardens Speed Zone in Edinburgh 175.0 mph.

This week’s challenge car is definitely a fun driver and racer. It’s lightweight and the turbo flat 4 upgrade is entertaining to listen to throughout the races. Yes there are a lot of races. It is 200k credits in the autoshow. I won all 7 races against unbeatable including Ambleside Village Circuit and The Gauntlet.

73 Carrera a800, 120 805 005, 71,650cr

After several attempts the Supra did manage the speed trap speed. This Senna tune was one attempt resulting in 184mph in the zone starting from the circle. I tried a few lower tunes first. The danger sign has stones that need to be moved first, for me at least.

Speed Zone: McLaren Senna, X999, awd motegi 118 462 672
Danger Sign: 98 Supra Winter Rally, 609 842 300
Speed Trap: 98 Supra Winter Rally, 609 842 300

Was also struggling with the Seasonal speed zone. Tried all my favourites with no luck. Broke out the Senna with an ancient zalmoxis91 tune from Oct 2018 and did it 2nd go. Anticlockwise seemed to be easier, 183mph. Hope the car works for others.

11

Haven’t used the Mosler since probably 2019 but my 599XX E understeered too much + CCGT didn’t have enough acceleration so I gave that a go on a whim and hit 200mph first time at the speed zone.

Also - Complete the Horizon Super 7 to get a Toyota 2000GT '69

Didn’t know it was seasonal.

14

I didn’t know it too until series 31. Than when Summer started I tried to get the last missing achievement “A wild challenge card appears!” and saw the Rimac as a prize.

15

Giving exclusives on Super7 to make people play is the epitome of desperation. Guess that motorized carriage wasn’t enough, huh?

The IROC-Z takes too long to get for too little benefit. It’s just a body swap of the Trans Am GTA. Should’ve been Championship reward, not 50% completion. Or better yet, add it to the Autoshow, it’s not like people are gonna care they can’t exploit others by flipping a car that isn’t particularly interesting nor useful to a fanbase that doesn’t give a toss about 80s American cars.

I’m actually finding it quicker to get to 50% than to complete a championship these days. All I had to do to get it was the Trial, the PR stunts, take a photo, and that would have been enough if I’d waited a day to get another daily forzathon, but I did the showcase remix to get to 50%, which takes less time than doing a championship. That’s having already done monthly rivals and got ranked at the start of the month. I’d want to do the Trial anyway, so the only extras were the PR stunts, taking a photo and a showcase remix, maybe 10 minutes total.

@Trial - what was the best/worst car to use?
IMO best car was '74 Honda Civic RS AWD swapped without widebody. It was flying.
For the worst award I have 2 competitors: '04 Honda Civic Type-R or '86 Ford Escort RS. Both sucked badly. Even rental car was better.
PS. It was nice to don’t have to help teammates to get the win and just focus on driving. Plus had 3 or 4 Trials with competitive teammates, so it was even more fun :slight_smile:

I don’t know, I like it. Already used it more than Jesko.

18

ManteoMax can you include the Super7 prizes too since they change weekly with every new season and usually offer ecxlusive cars… and clothing. I had no idea that was a thing until I saw the Rimac and the Green Suit.

19

They seem to be alternating each season between an outfit and a decent car. Then once you complete it, the reward is just a spin until the next season.

I did the Danger Sign with a Huracan on Winter tires. You need to hit around 170 at the ramp. I start back up the hill next to a wind turbine. The road runs straight toward the jump before turning off. Just continue straight across the ground. No need to floor it at this point, you don’t want to skip too much, but it gives you enough of a start so when you hit the gravel road, you can open it up. Also, debris along the right side of the ramp will mess you up. There is even a piece that will stop you dead. And I have gone off that side without it even registering I hit the ramp. So I always cheat a little to the left.

Did the danger sign with the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione… as usual.
