have a problem with accolade in Forza Horizon 5. Tinker Tuner Road Racer does not count, no matter what I do. I read the forums, the problem is common. I really want to complete the game 100%, but this doesn’t give me a chance. I created a support ticket, support did not respond normally. They said they would decide someday. But the problem is more than a year old, if you search the forum, I’m not the first to write about it. Why do developers treat the problem so carelessly?
Weird. I’ve done both of these. So long ago that I got them I can’t recall whether I had any problems. Maybe try doing both accolades with a tune that you created rather than using someone elses.
There are already two discussions on the forum with these achievements and the same ones in the dirt racing category. The bug happens to some players, but apparently making new cars is more important than doing something good for a group of players.

"I already tried:
- pin the accolade
- just change one value in „Tune Car“ menu
- change one value of each category in the „Tune Car“ menu
- changed every value in the „Tune Car“ menu
- used a tunig preset from the „Tune Browser“ from the „Tune Car“ menu
- bought all upgrades for a new car so that tuned all tuning option in the „Tune Car“ menu are unlocked
- bougt a already tuned car from the action house
- used a Forza Edition car"
And i am too.
Known Issue:
This problem is over a year old. Maybe if we remind the developers more often, they will move faster
I have the same problem for months. Nothing works. I tune by myself, buy tunes from other, tried on new cars, old ones. I think that devs just don’t care. We have already paid for the game so they don’t bother.
I’m not sure, but I may have found how to fix it. I teleported to the Hot Wheels DLC, and another bugged accolade immediately completed. So I clipped on the Tinker Tuner, Road Racer and teleported back to Mexico. There was no reaction, but as soon as I changed the car (it was a Hoonigan RS 200), a tick appeared. I completed the race and both accolades were completed.
I am still getting this issue and it seems the latest Forzathon Challenge cannot be completed for similar reasons. 50,000 worth of upgrades must be purchased for the 1932 Ford De Luxe, but the game doesn’t recognise when you purchase them. The changes apply to the car, but it shows 0 as having been spent. Perhaps these bugs are linked.
January 30 2025 and i’m seeing this issue still as well. no matter what I do, the “car has custom tune” qualification never gets ticked. gamer tag is FischStix7703
I have all the cars, completed most accolades but like everyone here still can’t trigger the Tuned to Perfection… WT*!!!
HELP USSS ! the problem is still here ! i cannot also complete this accolades, but idk why and how the “tinker tuned road racer” is done, which is just complete a race. im sure i won that race, so idk whyy “tuned to perfection” isnt ticked…
I tried the fix that Sazhenov21 mentioned above and it WORKED! Here are the exact steps I took:
Traveled to the Hot Wheels park, tagged the “Tinker, Tuner Road Racer” accolade, entered the Horizon Hot Wheels Festival Outpost, went to the Cars > Tune Car menu, changed the tire pressure and saved, and then it finally showed as “Tune applied”.
From there I traveled back to Mexico and completed a Road Race event which completed the accolade.
Another user in the post below mentioned being able to do this work around by traveling to the Event Island, but it didn’t work for me.
Hope this helps someone out.
