Tips:

EventLab errors

If you see no description in the EventLab tiles and get an error retrieving the event, this may be due Quick Resume. Close the game and start it again and the events should be available.

Forzathon not registering car or completion

This doesn’t happen to all players, but the Known Issues list at Forza Support includes this item.

The Trial seemed a bit easier than previous ones. I even won a race (and came second in the other behind a Drivatar) .

Perhaps the Trial should stop advertising itself as the ultimate test of our driving ability now.

No AI scaling is making them a cakewalk for anyone half decent in a tuned car.

The Treasure Hunt is 3 star the Puerta Petrea Trailblazer and the chest is next to the building with the little radio tower SE of the Buggy + The Beast showcase.

The EB110 is 805 stock so is a good choice to bring along with a good 900 tune now that drivatars turn up in stock equivalents. I was in a team of pretty poor drivers but walked it this week.

Just got the “error retrieving event lab” for the first time. Good thing someone already figured out how to solve that.

I used the MG 3 for the jump with 158002458 tune.

WARNING TO EVENT LAB: Do not use Tankpool FE for the Sierra Annual Run.
This event has a checkpoint that goes under a low bridge, and this checkpoint is lower than the Tankpool FE height.
If you use Tankpool FE, you will not be able to pass this checkpoint and will have to retire the event.

Suggestion for the speed zone?
This week it seems really impossible, there are not Mercedes benz able to reach s2 998.

Asking people to win a multiplayer race should not be a thing. Just did it but it took me 45 min. Some people will not even have a chance. Bad

Good plan, I need every edge, I loathe S1 and can already see the solid smoke screens of other team humans blinding me. And that first sprint has some great corners for dogpiles :frowning:

Can’t tell for sure… is that sarcasm ? If not, which race ?

Boring season

The AMG CLK GTR Forza Edition comes S2 998. And you can pick it up in the Event Lab. If that helps :slight_smile:

I used the CLK Forza Edition with a really long run up. I was probably doing 190mph entering the speed zone and the car has enough grip to not need the brakes until the sharp corner at the end.

Win a Horizon open race in a Ford. Did it in A class cross country in the '17 Raptor. Not being sarcastic, that is not doable for a lot of players and makes everyone wreck everyone else. Some of us are OC about getting 100% you do not have to punish your most loyal playlisters.

S1 Street Scene in the Ford Focus RS '17 is what I’ll probably do there. Little rocket.

Yeah, not done this yet, but not looking forward to it either, it will just be a wreckfest i would imagine :frowning:

There most certainly are. I used the 1998 CLK GT-R FE. Stock tune, took me several tries to get it through the last corner. Depends on which side you start from if course.
