We will not be gifting this.

Also bare in mind that other players will most likely now be using the same/similar tune that you are. However, if you check these forums or reddit, there’s been a few different tunes posted around which players have stated it’s worked for them.

I also edited your thread title due to the language.

Krystal , please tell me how today i was coming 2nd into the last race by a deficit of only 2 points. I won the last race on the highway and the guy ahead of me crashed and DNF. Instead of me winning the car by a few points he was given the car yet he had a DNF and i won. so frustrating after trying for days with different tunes , this surely is a server issue or something. i am so upset as i finally WON the car legit and had it taken away. i was also talking to a guy on facebook forza forum and he said the same thing happened to him yesterday so it isn’t a isolated incident of me making up a story. PLEASE HELP.

Thanks for your response Krystal but Sadly i didn’t capture as i was shocked and frustrated and wish i had of captured it now. tried again this morning and saw a 999 X class AM VULCAN in the races HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. blatent cheating how are we supposed to win. resigned myself to the fact i won’t win the car before season changes even though i technically already won it.

Took about 4 tries, but I was able to get it done this weekend using Stevio2175 tune.

Sorry to hear this Wodanswolf45.

Unfortunately, since the competition works as intended for some, it looks like the assumption is that it works correctly for everyone, which given what you just stated, is patently false.

Sad to say that for me, the Horizon series continues its decline from the glorious Horizon 1. For the first time since 2011 I am now actively looking for a replacement franchise.

Seems some of the ‘fun loving community’ think it’s funny to continue doing the event after winning the rip rod just to stop others from winning it.

I used the tune Jadigafer7 posted under the Tunes Forum. Won on the first try using his 1940 Ford Coupe tune instead of the overused 1932. Every single other vehicle in the race was the 1932, while I was rocking the 1940. After I won with 1st place in every race, one guy was yelling over his mic that I was cheating and its impossible the 1940 could win ;p. If you look at the screen shot of Jadigafer’s run times for his four races they would pretty much win 95% of the time. I wasn’t able to quite get as fast as he did, but I am no expert drag racer, the tune was definitely the reason I won though, even with a few missed shifts. Here’s the post where he basically spells out how you win, like its drag racing for dummies, I would assume everyone is going to start using similarly quick tunes and then it is going to end up being purely based on your shifting ability once everyone starts finding these 10.7sec 1/4 mile tunes that also run the Juggernaut drag in 1:02. So if you haven’t won it yet, you better hurry.

+1 on this tune. You don’t even need to use the clutch if you take heed of the recommend times to change gear for this tune.

The only tricky part is rammers and the handling is difficult for the corners on the last race.

I must admit that after trying various several tunes, this has put a downer on my game playing; no matter what I have done I have never come close to winning the car.

Got mine 2nd attempt on Saturday
Won 3 of 4 races
Think it comes down to luck of who you are up against

And it doesnt help when you have others who have already won it still there trying to beat you or wreck you

I agree very much with all you say that’s ts down to luck

Finally got it yesterday won 3 and got a 3rd to win the rip rod

The Event/Lottery IS bugged, the third race, once every 5-10 tries, you will start with a bunch of debree infront of youre tires, 1-2 of thoose red/white things that are at the start area, first time this happened to me, i had a 1st place, and a 2nd place, the having to push that stuff halfway to the finish, caused me to be 7th.

Yes i DID send a support ticket on this, and the reply i got was…

'Thank you for reporting this issue.

We are currently looking into this and your ticket will be added to our investigation.

We will send out an announcement to the Community when we have a resolution.

Thank you for your patience."

Translated i read it as:
"Did you really need to report this?

We can’t be bothered to do anything about this at this time, or any other time, so we will send you this standard ‘who cares’ reply’.

We will ignore the Community on this and any related issues, and release a yada-yada post, some day, maybe.

I can’t believe you took the time for this."


That being said, on try number 9-14, i lost count, i FINALLY got it, tied on 60 points, with some other guy, aaand its rubbish tbh.

Search by gamertag for sniffduhbooty and download the tune made for the 1932 ford deluxe called 10.7s 1/4m EZ W. I made it myself and its undefeated in the 10 plus tournaments ive entered. Everyone else uses trash tunes that get 10.8s best.

And to make it worse this morning i tried again and a driver had a X CLASS 999 AM VULCAN. I mean how are we supposed to win with cheating like this. Yes i do have a screenshot as proof this time. I am so mad as this is not fair racing and legit guys like me don’t stand a chance of obtaining a car that i really want :frowning:

It took 5 tries but I finally got 1st place overall. I just randomly grabbed a '32 Ford tune that said “riprod easy” or something like that. Two races had rammers, and the other 3 had all clean racers. So if you get stuck with rammers or cheaters, just try again later. At least, that’s what I did.

I’ll repeat it again since a thread had 90% of the posts removed because I pointed out the lies of ‘we listen to our fans’.

It’s almost like the devs don’t want us to get these cars because, like the Mosler, a lot of people couldn’t get it because of out-of-home constraints e.g. work/college/university etc etc.

Listen to the community, we said once already that this needs to stop. But what do you do? You keep doing it. It’s like talking to a brick wall, not going to get anywhere. Forza Horizon 1-3 were great for unlocking cars via challenges. And you know what? They were fun, actually made you feel like you can actually do something without being hurled into a wall at 150mph on PVP multiplayer on FH4.

Why should we suffer because of a franchises incompetence?

Unfortunatly until they fix the server issues & this title stops hackers use of cheating cars that’s you pc users , Anyone attempting to play PvP will be sick as a parrot , I’ve become sooo pissed off with this game, What is it 450 cars with only about 50 that are of any use because of the limited perk’s or bad classification’s and this challenge being PvP just make’s it worse with all the ramming by other players who have already won the car , Once you have won it the championship should close to stop teams of players taking turns winning it

Point for if any devs reading this:
You said in your answers the flaw with this challenge. It sound fun, but 3/4 races are just button matching. Yeah, you need to shift right, but that is it. You just use somebody elses tune and watch a video so you know where to shift. I am regularily second on my own tune, heck. I got second place with the F100. But it is cutting out a major factor of PVP by having a downloadable win. It also has the issue that drag racing and the PI dont mix. Handling and braking both have a major impact on the PI, but are of no relevance to the challenge. It is a base value you cannot change which is why the 32 and 40 are vehicles of choice. They have the least handling and braking as part of their PI, allowing the most to go to acceleration and speed.

So unfortunately, it is simplistic because it relies on a value made up of five components, but not all five are used. Not really any room for driver error.

Personally, I have been having bad luck with it.

Once myself and another tied. I got second, second, first, second. They got first first, second, fourth. They got the win.

Another I got first first fifth second. Fifth because for some reason there was an aerodrome barricade in front of me at the start.

And my personal favorite second place was when the following pic showed up second race of the series.
