Is there any way to prevent GR Yaris from switching driving mode to “track” in race/rivals?
edit: shouldn’t racing diff deactivate option to switch between “sport” and “track”?
I’ve just done an A 800 Tour with it and there it stayed in Sport mode. 
That would be me. I highly recommend this website (not by me) that was built upon the data I gathered https://fh5-tour-playlist.netlify.app/

Nah, you’re not alone. I basically only do Tours on asphalt besides the playlist. I simply like the mainly themed racing with specific car types/classes more than the anything goes approach of Open.
If just the AI wouldn’t behave like utter drunkards most of the time.

Ran the Korea street championship just now and once again no AI traffic after they claimed to have fixed this in a recent update.

I think everyone enjoys getting DLs for time spent on content obviously, but it’s certainly not my only focus when it comes to creating that content or what I do in the rest of the game. I’m not so concerned about the notoriety or numbers & I honestly feel like just receiving positive feedback from someone who has used my content & appreciated is the most gratifying.
Imo, there’s really not much else to be gained within the game beyond Legendary status & even that quickly becomes unnecessary after a while from a monetary perspective. Anyway, just my 2 cents fwiw.

Could not be further from the truth.
All aspects and rewards have come to mean nothing to me at this stage.
The game is still just a weekly chorefest that I do for no other reason than having “something” to do.
The game itself died a long time ago as far as player engagement goes (at least for the seasoned players) for achievements and now just an annoying way to increase your levels whilst getting unwanted cars that you just bin. I guess the influx of new players with their constant posts on things that have been covered over the years may mean it will still keep running for a while but it won’t last for long after they discover they’re making threads about old issues.
Seriously - check the threads before making a duplicate.
They need to do something to bring back the seasoned players interest. Using the option to run the events in any level - higher or lower, whatever tickles your fancy (can’t remember who sugested it) - would help but it won’t stop the whole thing from being a re-hash of previous FH versions with new scenery.
The fact that FM has bombed and player level is at a ridiculously low level whilst people are asking where is Chis Esaki with no response shows that Forza is losing it’s grasp on what players want.
He’s either been
A. sent to the janitors room to fix it over the next 5 years - probably 10 based on the last development timescales.
B. sacked, taken the money and run - best option I’d say.
As you say - just my 2 cents on the whole state of the franchise.

Well…I would comment, but honestly, you kinda lost me there. I think you’re into some other areas I wasn’t really referring to & not clear on some of your points, but really, no need to explain further. Your 2 cents as you said, that’s understood.

I agree FM bombed, but an interesting fact is most of the “seasoned” players are over there now. Most of the big dawgs spend their time playing that game and not forza. How can they draw them back in? I personally think adding ranked racing would turn this game into a whole other beast and bring a lot of the old fun back it used to have from FH4. The team and individual ranked games were great for engagement. I can’t see why grandma though and a bunch of other top racers gave up forza to constantly play FM now. Makes no sense. It is a terribly boring game.

awful trail.
this years are just awful bug/ram fest ai.
Nah you’re gonna be getting your monthly pokemons and thats it.
At least a few different players have requested the ability to change the difficulty for the seasonal championships the last 2 years. Backstage pass. Been requested for over a year.
Ive been nagging regularly under the playlist topics about changing something, adding something new to the playlist. Anything that makes the post launch not be a chorelist.
Why are they asking us for feedback? So they can understand which themes and decorations we liked most? Were there any changes made due to it? I haven’t seen anything from the polls being adressed. It’s like a play-pretend, supposed to give you the feeling of being heard.
When was the last time forza horizon considered a suggestion from the suggestion hub, other than cars? I spend some time on FM and i’ve been heard there much more the past 6 months than i’ve been heard here the past 3 years. I’m even surprised myself how many things i called out that then later got fixed/added. Things that aren’t even specifically listed on the suggestion hub.
The crew motorfest recently got a massive update (it’s a few months worth of content) but they have a new feature, new gameplay, they’re about to add an entire FREE map expansion in a few months. Nfs unbound with a small team, barely even recognized their existence by EA, has an entire road map for the year. And they’ve already brought several new features into the game.
And where is FH5? Sleeping.

I guess I’ll just say this after re-reading your comments: what you quoted from my post above was in direct reference to downloads for player created content (designs, tunes, etc) & not as it relates to the any other achievements within the game.
The weekly “chorefest” & content structure are also nothing new. There are obviously a lot of areas for improvement within the game to keep it enjoyable (depending on your individual areas of interest) but at this stage in it’s life, that’s likely not going to be significant. The gap to release of FH6 may be the only influencing factor at this point imo.

Based on some previous feedback, decided to revisit the Dark Horse design with an alternate version that better highlights the Mustang silhouette. SC below for anyone interested. Thanks & hope you like it.

Still haven’t figured it out, so tested only “track” mode vs race diff.
At first I was trying it out in bone stock Yaris and was doing basically the same times. Like 0,1sec on dirt (River Scramble) and 0,2sec on road (Tierra Pròspera). With race diff it had better turn in, but it was more prone to sliding. With stock diff it was more understeery.
Next was B700 Tierra Pròspera track (in order of testing, stock tires+race weight):
| setup | time |
|---|---|
| stock | 1:12.6 |
| stock + race arb | 1:12.0 |
| race diff only | 1:12.0 |
| race diff + arb | 1:11.4 |
I’d sum it up same as above - “better turn in with race diff”, but for some reason “race diff+arb” was significantly faster.
Once I knew which “diff” is faster I tried to find best setup for B road and offroad.
For road I’ve used Tierra again.
| setup | time |
|---|---|
| stock tires no aero | 1:11.4 |
| drag tires no aero | 1:11.7 |
| stock tires full aero | 1:11.7 |
| drag tires full aero | 1:11.8 |
| stock tires WB Varis | 1:11.4 |
| stock tires WB RB | 1.11:4 |
And for offroad River Scramble (offroad race tires).
| setup | time |
|---|---|
| no aero | 1:19.0 |
| full aero | 1:19.1 |
| WB Varis | 1:19.0 |
| WB RB | 1:19.0 |
| loigkj’s tune | 1:19.0 |
Yes, I did almost identical times at River. And very close at Tierra. But don’t be fooled by this. WB times are almost on the limit and on any longer straight it will lose time.
summary: Overall Yaris was pretty fun to drive, but it doesn’t look very fast in B class.
Tomorrow will maybe try A class, but there is much more options to try, so don’t how I’ll approach that or if I’ll share my results 
Anyone else was testing Yaris? Any results worth sharing? Where do you all use your Yaris?

I’m pretty sure the “modes” only work with stock suspension and diff
I wholeheartedly suggest playing another game!
The Trial: “Hmm, S1 supercars on Panoramica…what could possibly go wrong?” Easy race, provided you like bumper cars. We should have won on Lookout even with two seriously runaway AI, except someone botched it on the third lap and finished in last. Still, we blew away the AI on Reservorio as expected…
…or at least I’d like to say that, because I got disconnected AS I CROSSED THE FINISH LINE IN FIRST. No words.
And then of course my next team is completely incompetent and washes out in two. Thanks for royally ****ing me over, game!
Which part of my post suggested that I think otherwise?
