This Championship is weird. 1. There is one street race, and 2 Road Races, HUH? 2. The Street Race is in the day? 3. There is a Cross Country part.
If You win the trial, you get this race suit, that you can get in the Forzathon Shop
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH FORZA
I opted for the Torana, which was a good choice in spite of the build being a compromise to keep it in B class. In fact, I’ve used the car in other seasonal championships in which it’s proved to be a sound performer.
Same here. I upgraded suspension, gearbox, aero, brakes and tyres but left the engine as stock with no upgrades.
Tuned it up and raced on unbeatable and was quietly surprised with its nice handling and acceleration with quick gear changes.
I ran it manual though so not sure how it would of went automatic but the Monaro was tailing me a lot during parts of the championship.
Monaro or Torana are my suggestions, oh and ironically i owned both when i was younger, great times i tell ya.
There is a nice trial on Fortune Island this week. I normally don’t bother with it but I was bored. S1 road. Long races. The first was 5 laps, 2nd was 7 laps and 3rd was 5 laps. I ended up alone after the first race so an easy win. Lego trial was a mix of road, cross country and dirt. Also interesting. Less people doing those or sure. I never started more than 4 people.
Every week I do the Lego Trial a couple times. Most of the time it’s one other person and me. I wish they would change them. I’m kind of tired of that little course around downtown in a muscle car. That being said, each week I’ll still race it once or twice. I haven’t tried out the Trial on Fortune Island much. Maybe I’ll start doing that one more often
trail is hor garbage with ram ai…
Hi,
Cars/tunes/suggestions for this weeks online and PR stunt seasonal events for those that find such useful. All tunes are my own, unless otherwise noted, all shared by myself (or others). ~ tune name / share code. If you use anything offered here, and you like it/it was useful to you, please don’t forget to leave a like.
Online:
**Trial: “Jumping Jeeps” | Cross Country | (A800) Jeeps
**Car used: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (HTF - Tier 8 in Horizon Life: Cross Country Series)
**Tune: A800 Jeep Trial / 101 809 802
A.I. behavior this week: It is my impression that the A.I. are slower online (the trial) vs. offline/solo (same tracks, same conditions) although it is very hard to see the difference, I have decided they were easier online due to seemly been easier to catch in the trial, especially on the “Coastal Rush Cross Country” track - this track clearly offers some sort of advantage to the ‘cross-country’ A.I. bug noted in previous playlist events. The A.I. doing amazing times (comparable to very fast rival times) in ‘stock’ P.I. cars (offline/solo) is something that is hopefully fixed in any future Horizon release - while I do tend to agree with the idea that the A.I. are not using the cars seen by the player (although it is interesting that the ‘cheaty’ A.I. cars used are much the same across different players and systems) - it is more a shell for player reference, the A.I. performance in their ‘universal car’ should match the P.I. shown as comparable to the given class and race type, and not handle and race away in a cross country event like they are on rails.
Ran the ‘exclusive’ Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in this weeks trial, I tried very hard to not use an exclusive car (yet again, if you are new, or just not a frequent player, without DLCs or any exclusives, your choices for this event are just one of two) however I could not win, or place well consistently vs. the solo unbeatable A.I. to consider them good options. While heavy, this Jeep has the best performance stats in speed, acceleration and launch before any upgrades, I know the stats don’t always relate well to actual performance, but you have to start somewhere. Car/tune is easy enough to handle, fast topend (slow on start), but can be a little skittish on landings, land as best as possible hand/foot off the accelerator, to minimize this. Tune runs offroad tires and suspension, no aero, no visual body changes.
**Seasonal Playground Games | Rail Yard | (A800) Retro Saloons
**Car used: 1995 BMW M5 (Autoshow 25,000 Cr)
**Tune: A800 Games Rail / 175 635 301
One drop-out (opposing team), good event, everyone seemed to be making an effort, won 3-0. Reasonably sure all choices here (retro saloon) are much the same in performance, only differences been if adding grip is possible (if desired) or not. I choose grip as in Games, been able to out turn, and get power to the ground usually makes the difference between been caught or getting away, even if they are ‘faster’. Nice easy driver car/tune. Tune is running both rally tires and suspension, AWD, no aero, full “Rieger” body kit options.
PR Stunts:
Enjoy!

Solo championships - Raced against Expert, Steering: Simulation, ABS: on, Traction/Stability; Off, Gearbox: Auto.
**Championship: “Surfer’s Paradise” | Street Scene | (S1 900) Lamborghinis
**Car used: 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV (Autoshow 220,000 Cr)
**Tune: S900 RWD Road / 241 087 162
Stable, balanced RWD car, competitive, not a runaway winner (expert diff.) - will/can win all events, A.I. will keep up (if your experience matches mine). Tune is RWD, twin turbo, full Forza air, race ‘Horizon’ edition tires on OG rims.
**Championship: “Diagon Rally” | Road Racing | (B700) Retro Rally
**Car used: 1980 Renault 5 Turbo (Autoshow 120,000 Cr)
**Tune: B700 Rally Star / 933 218 659
Straight-up easy win, easy drive, stable and very balanced car/tune. Tune runs rally tires, AWD, rear Forza air, and mud-flaps.
**Championship: “Holden Your Horses” | Dirt Racing | (C600) Holdens
**Car used: 1977 Holden Torana A9X (Autoshow 130,000 Cr)
**Tune: C600 Rally / 676 043 874
Very very easy win. While this tune is a de-tune of my B class tune, a lot of what makes the B tune is gone due to P.I. limitations ~ still, the Torana is an amazing dirt rally car, so nothing lost in the de-tune. Tune is AWD, no aero, running stock tires.
Have fun.
I never enjoyed seasonal playground games. But we had a lot of disconnects and dropouts this season so in the end it was 2 v 2 and I actually found it enjoyable in smaller teams :3

I hope this helps you to do the challenges
Ok, so I really wanted to run something other than the Trailcat. I was dead set on tuning up a CJ5, so I did. It accelerated great (it’s like half the weight of the Trailcat) but was a bit skittish so I had to settle it down some. The original run earned it a 2nd place, 5th place (bounced off a golf cart and totally spun around), and 2nd place. Numerous runs after earned it first place in both circuits…but man alive, those hay bales were treacherous for me every time. Best I got in the sprint was second. It def has the potential for first though, just gotta get the right run. I might try it in Rivals and see what the times turn out like.
The Trial - Still a little skittish, but accelerates fast, has a decent top speed but takes second place to my Trailcat which is just so much more stable and handles obstacles better. Of all the runs I made, only one race had another CJ in it, and there were three of us. First race, we took the top three positions. Second race, 1st and 2nd. Sadly, the third race found us too competitive and kept bouncing each other out of the gates so it was abysmal. I think I was the highest in fifth. Oh, little heads-up for the Coastal sprint race, when you approach the first jump, try to cheat a little to the right. There is often a golf cart right in the middle of the run, the suggested line goes right through it. You still need to be straight else you’ll be out of place for the gate, but it will keep you from bouncing off of the golf cart at least.
1976 Jeep CJ5 Renegade Tune: 188 733 478
PGG - Fast with good maneuverability. Tough to catch for Infection and pretty darned good for King. Also does a good cut-back when trying to score with a flag. Was the only non-BMW in the field. lol
1997 Volvo 850R Tune: 348 766 309
Diagon Rally - Had a Toyota Celica GT-Four already tuned up from something else. Decent acceleration but otherwise not really noteworthy. The car is fine, probably just not a good tune. Still won tho.
Surfer’s Paradise - Ran a stock 2018 Lamborghini Performante. Did alright. A little tough catching up to the lead but kept it once it got it.
Holden Horses - Had run a Torana just last week and it ran great. Someone had mentioned a Sandman so wanted to try it. Cur the bed off, kept it on stock tires and added some go-fast. Well, it turns like a dog on tarmac…but wow, it takes to dirt really well. I probably messed something up somewhere but was really puzzled by the dual personality of it. I might try to work it out a little better, but between this and the Torana, they do dirt right.

still trying trails. its gotten far worst now. ai dis spearing, our side cars going invisible . at the end of the round. it will show total different ai names . then at the start of the race.
Wow, haven;t experienced any of that, AI-wise…just them being skittish and skipping across the driving lane. Also occasionally one will just dead-stop and take you out with it. So frustrating.
Just ran it a few more times tonight. Wanted to check it with my Trailcat. Ran it once and took 2nd, 2nd, 1st. It is considerably more stable than the CJ5 but doesn’t accelerate as quickly. Tuned up a Trailhawk as well since it seemed to be a popular choice. It has pickup like the CJ5, and slightly more stable. Holds a good powerslide through some turns. And has good top end for the sprint, though it does not handle the uneven terrain as well as the Trailcat so it’s hard to take advantage of that top end.
The AI is a bit wonky in the beginning, but then seems to settle down. The other racers, however…overly competitive and not in control of their vehicles, mostly. Taking turns too fast from too severe an angle. Bumping through gates. And my personal favorite, spamming ‘Nice driving’ when they get out of the racing line then crash back into you as they cross back over.
Not every race was bad, but yeah, it is definitely the luck of the draw for this one.
Dogwitch - you post more or less weekly to explain how bugged the trial is for you. I don’t think anyone else experiences the range of issues which you encounter and I can confirm that the trial has worked fine for me every time I’ve ran it (other than the odd AI car driving like a bumper car).
Your problems appear to be specific to you. Have you reported them to the support team who may be able to assist in actually fixing the problem? Ideally, I’d have thought a game clip of your issues would really help them.
He either makes most of it up or is the unluckiest person to ever play a Forza game.
