I looked at the list of results for the example of LaRacer @ Horizon chapter 8, the person who is number 1 (64 - Otter6599) has the result 999.999.999 points, to get 3 stars need 90,000 points. How can you score such a result in such a short time?
Something stinks at a distance here, it’s a scam, but I may be wrong.
Not sure if this has been brought up yet but can someone please sort out the leadboards and get rid of scores & speeds that are blatantly cheats!
I am currently doing the ‘Worlds Fastest Rentals: Chapter 2’ mission on Xbox One and i have just checked the leaderboards and it ranges from 5,717.28MPH (1st Place) to 819.84MPH (11th Place).
HOW?! If someone can explain these speeds to me then by all means go for it!
I personally like challenging for the top spots on the leaderboards amongst my friends & for the top places Globally but this kind of stuff just kills the game!
Cheaters should be banned from the game as it’s ruining it!
I know there are some ways of cheating, I am also aware there are unintentional glitches that cause some of the leaderboard weirdness. There seem to be a lot of weird times in FH4 at the moment and I am confident not all of them are deliberate.
Until the leaderboards are cleansed can’t you just compete with whatever you think the top legit score / time is?
I totally agree that “proven” cheaters should be banned and leaderboards should be cleansed.
The proper way to address ‘cheaters’ is to report what you see at the Support link on the top of the site. Technology can be finicky and what looks like cheating may not be the fault of the player. Report it to the developers and they will sort it out.
In the meantime, if you’re the number one legit time under higher ranked aberrant leaderboard times, everyone will recognize that fact. If you’re not #1, the only competition that really matters is you+1. Focus on that.
How can there be people who make thousands of meters on the danger signs? I have seen jumps of almost 10k meters.

I got 280 meters on a danger sign that was set for 168 meters for 3 stars. For us Americans it’s 916 feet on a danger sign that was set to 3 stars at 550 feet. It just happened where the car hit the ground and slid down the mountain and the feet kept going for another few seconds giving me that.
Hi, i’ve loved playing the forza series whole heartedly for many years now. Over those years my club & my friends pride our stats & reputation on doing the PR stunts & we’re very good at it. But whats going on with fh4? On fh3 thankfully you capped p.b.'s so players couldnt cheat. Good move, but in fh4 the same disgusting cheats are back and for alot of us we’re wounded & feel totally let down, we saw the boards get wiped on the 1st week & thought this was awesome beyond belief as we assumed youde do this regularly to get the cheats out. But since then, nothing? I & my co leaders regularly report the suspicious players as we’re all about records & to see someone thats clocked a 22½ thousand feet jump or doing allmost 500mph is dissheartening beyond belief. I gave your game a 5 star rating which was abit cheeky asking players to rate you 20mins into the game play. I pre ordered as i allways have but im unsure next time because your not giving the real hardcores the chances we deserve. We drive hard in all forza games but your letting us down. We absolutely know you made it for the drifters we feel that in all the cars we drive in game, & even though we haven’t all been catered for we would very much appreciate it if youde keep checking the pr leaderboards & act accordingly. You have a fantastic game but your litteraly letting the real gamers down. Plz fix the leaderboards. Thank you for your time. BIGGY FOOLZ

I also miss the Stunt points leaderboard from FH3, totalling up your points over the 3* targets and providing some competition internally in clubs.
As for the main leaderboards I make a point of marking blatant cheat scores for attention - just not sure how often they get cleared out, and for some its getting ridiculous where the whole first page are stupidly high scores.
