WINTER | DRY SEASON
SERIES 5: HORIZON RUSH TAKEOVER

The season starts at 7:30am Pacific on March 17th and closes at the same time on March 24th, 2022.
This is the third season of Series 5.

Welcome to the Horizon Rush Takeover! Jaimin’s crew has been busy preparing for the PR Stunt Carnival as new PR Stunts and a dedicated Stunt Park invite players to leave their mark. To celebrate the PR Stunt Carnival, every week in Series 5 we’ll be adding four new PR Stunts – one of each type: Speed Zone, Danger Sign, Trailblazer and Speed Trap – for a total of 16 new PR Stunts! The Speed Zones will be added permanently, while the others are only available to complete in Series 5 and will feature a special icon to distinguish them from existing PR Stunts. Don’t miss the new Parade Float race.

Nice, a Weekly Forzathon featuring my favorite car in the game!

Not going to lie I actually laughed at seeing a speed trap target of 60mph.

I find nothing enjoyable in anything that’s so easy that it asks absolutely nothing of you to be able to do it.

Did that, the 599 + Noble stunts all as stock, I know some like it this way but personally for me I don’t like how simple they’ve gone, I’m not asking for them to be like the Ariel Nomad speed zone one a while back which plenty struggled with but surely going right to the other end of the difficulty scale isn’t the way either?

Edit: Used the 5 Turbo in the Trial with what turned out to be a tune for Games by Team Fung but it was still a strong car and won both races comfortably despite me being put with clowns for the 2nd week in a row.

There was 1 who tried ramming anyone who was in front of them in every corner and wouldn’t settle for anything but first place, guess what their level was?

Nope, 4 stars + level 251, someone who’s played the game that much and they’re attempting pathetic, immature antics that even a new player would have no excuse for.

EventLab “Krazy Karts” race made my game chug bad on the OG Xbox One. I was worried it was going to crash but I made it through. Slow motion the whole way.

The starting area of the EventLab wasn’t good on my One S either, but the rest was OK. Not a lot of fun in S1, but would have been a great B track.

ManteoMax, you missed the collectables, which seem to be scattered all over the map and not all that plentiful. Edit: they do respawn, which means the Solo rewind trick works.

If you hunt out a Blueprint with the same title and do it slowly so that each Dino counts as wrecked it works as well Tried it in the Event Cards and the Dinos are too close together and register 1 or 2 at best!!

I Edited my other post as it appeared in Max’s post!

Completed most of the PR Stunts and got the new Noble.

I think this has been mentioned before but the stunts seem to be pretty easy. I know we are all easy to complain but I think they could have been a little harder. The pickup trailblazer could have easily been 15 secs rather than 10. The drift zone one is also very easy even for those of us that aren’t great at drifting.

Seasonal Championship is so frustrating, every time its an S2 race, the first 4-5 cars get this massive lead and its next to impossible to catch up.

Can someone tell me which car/tune they used, as its not even fun struggling through this crap.

I completed the championship winning all three races with Ferrari FXX K with Nalak tune.
Pretty easy for me, try it

The URL for the exclusive car list topic needs to be updated for the new forums. The new forum setup also reformatted the list.

13

I think they finally done it,I’m done. Tired of AI constantly smashing me because I can tune a car to beat them. Congratulations PGG,GG,you win,I’m out.

For S2 races against Driveatars one trick is to use a lower rated tune than a max tune e.g. rather than S2 998 tune you make your own tune at S2 901. The Driveatars own tunes will be scaled back to match yours. You should find the race pace a lot slower and less frantic. You can also use this trick for S1 where you come in with a S1 801 tune.

For the Trial I used a 94 ST205 Celica with Dirt tune by ugrundy. I had 2 1st places and 3rd. My team lost the first race, that was the one I got 3rd in then won the last 2 races. Pretty comfortable.

Hope this helps.

What an absolute nightmare this S2 race is, I hate it.

Everything I try doesn’t work, must have gone through 10-15 tunes, same in different cars… every race the first 4-5 guys get a massive lead.

Can someone recommend a tune/car they used… and not that one the other guy mentioned, its complete trash around corners.

I just need this one championship and I’m done everything… I just absolutely detest these unbalanced, and unfun S2 races.

And yes, I tried a lower tune, same behavior.

This week is just really bad…

I have been driving the car “1986 Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution” but the #Forzathon challenge (Living the Dream) didn’t advance.

Any idea?

I did the Street championship in a stock Lambo Sesto FE. I did need a number of rewinds to hit various turns more cleanly. That hard left around the 20% mark of the icon race was tricky since there were some other cars around me. Didn’t move into first until cutting to the inside of the final gentle left turn in the race. Had to run the Jungle Descent twice. First time, I got to the sequence of U turns around the 2/3 mark in 7th place and finished up in 8th. Second try, I went a bit more all out before those turns, managed to get into first just before that point and blocked out the drivatars from passing me. The other race, I managed to get into first around the 70% mark of the race.

Just to remind that Nalak is one of the best (if not the best) tuner for S1 and S2 cars, strange that you don’t appreciate them.

I dunno, when I use a tune and I slide sideways around every corner, can’t brake, and can’t steer…I feel that leaves a bit to be desired when gracing someone with ‘one of the best tuners’ titles.

Anyhow, its fine I’m not going to argue with someone that’s been ignorant to me in the past and is just another person that thinks they know everything better than others.
