The only event that was giving me trouble was Grass Routes, not because of the event itself but the #11 Ford trophy truck and its broken front suspension glitch. Whenever you take a jump the tires would basically get stuck upon landing not allowing you to turn. Ended up restarted each race of the championship several times, only to find that running stiffer spring settings helped fixed it opposed to stock settings (i had mine set at 50% for front and rear, but with the rear set lower than front)
Underrated comment right here.
But does the MG have panel gaps?
Similar perhaps to my Trial experience noted above. Half way through the first race both a couple players and AI disappeared entirely from the race. Not on the mini map or the position list. Looked like it got as low as 2 AI and 2 players at one point. Near the end of the race it was back to 4 and 4 and after crossing the finish line the final position list had the full 6 and 6 listed. I figured it must be some server issue. I dunno. Maybe not related to your experience at all.
Sympathy. I thought I was going crazy last week when that was happening ! It only happens in racing from the brief testing I did. Not in free roam. I even managed to go extra soft over a jump in the race and only break the suspension on the right with it tucked up in the fender and 3 wheels on the ground. Fortunately for the race last week I wasn’t forced into running that truck and switched to something that wasn’t bugged.

Another RWD grip tune. Very easy to drive and fun. This car rotates through corners better than an AWD car. Tons of grip and excellent cornering speed. I love this tune.

Another one & tune tune. Started on the south end of the trap.

First try and knocked it out. Go from east to west and give yourself a good run up to the start of the speed zone. Should be doing around 150mph at the start.

RWD grip tune, so much grip and fun to drive. Very dominant tune here.
Hmm… yeah. That could be it. I have my ride height pretty low on most road tunes, and don’t do much adjusting if I don’t need to. So I can imagine how that might cause a slowdown on a loop.
The ‘17 Ford Focus tune (the first one) for this week is amazing! I came 2nd in the first race and won the 2nd. The second race on the 85 degree turn it could recover from super late breaking and still drift round without taking any damage! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Y’all remember when you could score valuable cars, including recent exclusives, as Super 7 rewards in FH4?
In FH5 it got dumbed down to (nerfed) SWS, and this week…behold the brilliance of the PGG playlist curator…you can expose yourself to 7 uninspiring 20 second challenges to obtain…an F-450!
Yes, the truck that you can buy in the AS for 70k or grab in the AH for 25k. That’s your reward for sitting through SEVEN loading screens and SEVEN inane challenges. Now that’s really SUPER!
Who at PGG thinks this makes any sense? Once again, they create a “new play mode” using free user-created content of course, hype it up, let it fly and then passive-aggressively squash the rotting carcass after a few years.
I’d love to see the Super 7 player metrics from FH4 through now, and so should whoever is in charge now.

What if you don’t live in the US and you don’t need nail polish ?
Can’t stand the way they hide cars behind buying ridiculous products just for extra revenue from non-related things.

two products so two useful gifts, one for my wife and one for my sister (that one was available here, not just the USA)
I do get the point, though
the Ford GT '17 was not too far away for the speed zone, someone better at the game than me could probably do it in that; the Ford GT OPI was close to the speed trap, too, even with me driving it
I’m posting these as no-one else does anything similar, not that I’ve seen, and I think some people might be interested; typically I have a go in one or two things then give up and either have a go at upgrading or download someone else’s setup

3 cars for 20 points. #5 Escort, '65 Mustang and '17 Focus. I am not sure if my team were using dirt tunes in the trial as I had a ridiculous and very instant pace advantage in both races over the other tuned vehicles.
(I used GreetedDust’s tune.)
Instead of bothering with the Super 7 just buy a Ford F-450 in the Auction for 7000 Credits,use six mastery-skill points to claim the 25000 Credits on the tree,sell back into the Auction & if it doesn’t sell an hour later,repeat the process.
Easy way to get 25k as the mastery tree refreshes once it’s been through the Auction process.

I know it’s after the fact now, but I was surprised to see people having so much trouble with last week’s speed zone. I managed to just squeak it out with a stock GT '17, and I’m sure an upgraded one would have handled it easily. I just started from the temple side and got a huge run-up so I was hitting the start of the zone at over 180 mph. Probably could have done it better, but I barely held on through the left-hander and then slammed on the brakes last-second for the final turn to clear the target by less than one mph.
The one that genuinely annoyed me was the speed trap, because it was yet another case where not only were the stock options not able to hit the target, they weren’t even able to get anywhere close to it. Still not sure how requiring upgrading a car for a 5-second task counts as compelling gameplay.
I thought the zone could be done with the GT '17, I did it in the GT OPI as I’m not very good - as for the trap, the OPI wasn’t too far away and could probably work there but I really am not sure that the '17 could do it
