I am beginning to think there are some serious bugs in this Forzathon thing. I finally placed First in a Showdown Race exactly as you state but still nothing. No Achievement popped, no car in garage.
Don’t worry, you are not alone, I did 12 different zones and a total of 36 attempts, since redoing zones counts (or should count, given that I have’t actually unlocked this achievement yet) in an FXX K and nada. I’ll try some more today in the Caterham.
I unlocked everything but this and it’s a bit annoying…because chances are that I’ll not be getting this achievement at all and that, as a completionist, sucks very much.
EDIT: Finally got this last achievement… took another 7 tries (on the same speed zone) in the FXX K and it finally popped.
If you have already 3 starred a zone it wont tell you if you then 2 star it, it appears like you 3 star it every time. Make sure you beat the 3 star speed.
I wasn’t able to open the usual private online freeroam, so I had to do it in solo mode with all the traffic and drivatars. Maybe that’s another point, can somebody confirmthat the online speedzones worked for the forzathon challenge?
i did the drag race also and did not recieve my car , i am wondering if i did not get mine because myself and others used the free roam option to drive to the drag race to make sure it was the right event . there is no indication in the showcase event thing in public lobbies to suggest it is the required drag race , or if you will have to put up with the idiots playing bumper cars for an hour before you get the drag race you wanted … maybe that is something to be looked at …
but i have received the achieves and it shows on the #forzathon page that i have the other challenges completed, but after 3 drag race wins , in different extreme track toy cars … and still no achieve or car or challenge acknowledgement since yesterday , i am now thinking it must be the showcase event option you choose and not the free roam and drive to drag race option many of us seem to be using …
can anyone tell me if the showcase event is a drag race everytime please ? as i am not prepared to endure the idiots for a car i probably wont drive anyway … its the acknowledgement of challenge completion i want , not the car so much, even though it would be a good one to use for sim difficulty bucketlist challenges to share with friends …
my first reply is still pending moderation , after about half an hour so its pretty poor its labelled as quick reply …
having chosen to do the showdown event , i see why people dont bother , because of the time delay some players have due to a higher car class , it means those with a lower class car have almost finished before you even pull away … so i think more people will be using the car class and balance thread to express a lack of balance across the board … as someone else said , there should be class based drag races or you ‘run what ya brung’ an see if its good enough,
so between the delayed start and the game lag causing missed shifts you may as well get yourself a caterham and tune it in A class and be done with the race before the x class cars have left the line …
its probably a waste of time me posting this via the quick reply system as we will most likely have new #forzathon challenges before this post is seen by anyone else …
here i go again with the not so quick reply system …
i figured if you cant beat them then join them … so i got myself a caterham , tuned it to top of A Class and smashed all the other track toys … only to be beaten by 9 seconds … yes 9 seconds by a D Class ford de luxe coupe … gotta love the balance of this game …
what is the point in trying the #forzathon challenges when its like this ? either make them all solo play challenges or sort ya game out … very disappointed with how the longevity of this game is looking with all these issues already …
Agreed, between the lower class cars headstarts and the one guy last night in a Caterham who made it his mission to not let anyone else win the car, after over 2 hours of trying and finally winning a race, the achievement didn’t pop and I still didn’t get the car. Screw it, my life doesn’t need this kind of crap. This ranks right up there with the RR Rivals race in Forza 6 for the Aston.
[edit] And this was done in a Showdown race, entered by pressing “X” in the Parking lot that you are put in when you go to the Car Meet. BS is what it is
