Bad design for the seasonal Showcase event?

Anyone else having the problem to always jump into the train after getting out of the tunnel in this weeks showcase event?
Also the train doesn’t show in replay.

On my first go I was just getting hit by the train but knew I made a mess on a couple of corners and clipped the tunnel wall. I was cleaner next time and you can be well ahead of the train.

I was too slow to hit the train… :laughing:

I also hit the train but after i hit the rewind button a few times somehow the train was pushed back and i won the race with over a minuter before the train

Forza Horizon is an amazing game with no obvious flaws!

No issues here. Did it first time and no rewinds.

I wound up having to intentionally slow down in the tunnel to avoid smacking right into it. The same thing used to happen in FH4 with some of the showcase remixes, especially that giant hovercraft. They’re scripted for whatever the default car choice is, so if a remix has a car that’s substantially faster or slower than that, they can wind up crossing your path at the wrong time.

I have ran the Showcase Remix twice now, both times i have beaten the train by 0.05 seconds!

I was quite ahead of the train, so the “dramatic” slowmo for the jump was completely pointless. The train then accelerated like a S2 car to overtake me on the finish straight and then hit the brakes to let me win.
These scripted events do not work well with cars whose pace is too different from the original one.
Same with getting rammed into oblivion by the BS monstertrucks at the other showcase.

The extreme scripting of the showcases to let you “win” by the skin of your teeth is fine when you do the event once. Their insistence on having you replay them over and over for playlists has the unfortunate side effect of highlighting the fakeness and how this is anything but an actual race.
