Thx for the new Startupvideo with Cars not boring Flowers in Mexico… And thx for the snow…

What a horrible Trail, I feel like newbie driving this Car …

The Copper Canyon Horizon Festival is on the horizontal road above the Train showcase.
To find the bonus boards, switch to Horizon Solo and go to the Copper Canyon Horizon Festival.
Follow the road in either direction, you will find a board on the left side of the road, smash it and rewind x10.

You can turn on TCR for trial… I was the only player who finished the 2nd race which is wet in 3rd place on my first try, all my teammates got 0 points. But we won 1st and 3rd race.

I also dropped the tire pressure to F1.9 and R2.2.

Here’s my 2nd trial try without TCR. As expected I’m not good with RWD on 2nd race wet road and didn’t do as well. End result is the same though, first and third race are not too hard to beat.

The starting screen with “Language” playing… love it.
Also, can I please have that Huayra?

removed :smiley:

AE Viper feels like it has pretty good downforce even with no aero.

The easiest way to unlock the smashable (10 Colorado Bonus Boards) challenge is to go into Solo mode, locate one of two boards I found in the Copper Canyon area (one’s by the side of the main road & the other is under the road bridge in the river to the west of the Canyon Pass Speed Trap),smash into it,then rewind & repeat until pop-up appears.
Lots to do this week ! Found the ‘Festival 1 site’ tucked away off the main road in Copper Canyon valley for the Photo Challenge.
Just need to find a better ‘cross-country’ shortcut to get the 3 stars 2:10 time for the first Horizon Origins story. Got 3 stars on the next four chapters. Good luck folks !

Definitely check out the aero mods. It reaches over 3.0 lateral g.
Clocked a 2:21 on Copper Canyon with a S900 build. Extremely strong cornering speeds.

U can stay on road… was doing 3x runs 2:10, 2:09, 2:08 so its possible no need to brake

Thanks P.P… I did stay on the road & tried to catch up with the lead car but got a 2:12.
I’ll keep trying the road-route, just thought going cross-country would be marginally shorter,albeit not getting up to the speeds if one sticks to the ‘coastal’ road route.

Took me couple of tries but managed to finally get 2:09,6. Definitely toughest to 3 star since there doesn’t appear to be faster route.

The first story, you don’t need to use shortcut, you can beat it following the road, just don’t slow down too much on turns, the car has enough grip for them, just let go of throttle during turn in.

Thanks for the tips, I’ll get that third star… once the Wife’s gone to bed.

Again there is super annoying translation error as the Horizon Open Road Race is translated as “Dirt Straßenrennen” in german language…
