Don’t use rewind, that’s also degrading.
This. Again. Your performance only matters after the final cutscene. Whatever you do before the final cutscene is largely irrelevant. Turn off traction control. Use rewind.
When jumping, keep the car as straight as possible and do not turned steering wheel.
The gear ratio of this car is somewhat unsuitable for this course. If it falls below 150 km/h (93 mph), shift down to the 3rd gear.
Be aware of these two points, and operate the throttle and brake so as not to slide as much as possible. Good luck.
Familiarize yourself with the Rewind button.
Did it first try. Not impossible, but it was close.
I attempted this showcase event 5 times and got within 6 seconds of the leader as my best attempt. Game difficulty doesn’t matter. So, with nothing to tune, etc, I simply gave up on this event. 6 seconds behind the leader on such a short race is not gonna happen…
As with certain other events (Rivals) in FH4, I have problems driving cars that I did not tune. Especially RWD tunes. So, regarding this showcase event, it may simply be easier for people using a controller. I use a FFB steering wheel. Showcase events, for me, would be much better if I could use a car I built… just give me a Class and a PI and I’ll work it out. Plus, it is much more fun using your own car.
Completed it on the 1st attempt, on expert with no assists and no rewinds having never driven the car before. I’m no where near the top of the leaderboards in any part of the game. You need to practice more and complain less.
Links to five different attempts and description of types of assists used, you will notice all the finishes are pretty similar in the fact that blue is in the lead entering the last corner and gets overtaken just before or on the bridge:

Got it second try. Manual shifting helps to keep the car in the powerband. It’s already in too high off a gear to begin with.
You’re right it’s hard but not impossible, I am an average player and it took me 5 or 6 attempts with lots of use of the rewind button. Follow the line of sight where possible, rewind at every mistake, avoid the puddles and you should just beat the last rider, it’s designed to be a close finish.
Driveatar settings make no difference.
Good luck 
Did it first try on Expert with +1 sec from the blue biker.
Those showcase events aren’t hard at all. They’re meant to be fun, not hard.
Also using TCR/STM totally ruins the game. You lose about 30% (or more) power.
Ohh and I totally gave up on doing those Seasonal Coop-Only Races. People just can’t beat those expert drivatars even if I BRAKE in front of the drivatars so they slow down to a ridiculous speed.
I could do it first try without assists, on unbeatable, and I’m not even the best driver. It’s not impossible.
Hard on the gas, not a lot of braking, cut corners when possible. Use rewind if you don’t do a jump just right.
Took me a few tries, not sure I can say I enjoyed it.
I had to lower the difficulty. Definitely is more hard them usually is.
Lower the difficulty, problem solved. Only the seasonal championships need to be completed at Expert difficulty.
This is probably the most difficult showcase of the bunch, and not in a good way. I know the first time I did it (aside from the intro), I got 2nd and never bothered to go play it again for first since it didn’t matter for game completion anyways.
Now that winning it does matter, it took me 2 tries to get it. Definitely not impossible, but also a difficulty level above all the other showcases and quite an annoying showcase in general.
I bagged it first time, auto gears and ABS but no TC etc. Like others have said, it’s only the last 20% or so that counts so try to keep it clean and not too sideways.
This had far less opportunity for frustration than the second community rally which took a least half a dozen rewinds out of various trees and barrel rolls and blind bends.
It feels like they just select the tracks that have the most unsighted bends >90 deg corners.
Agreed.
The second community rally, was nothing more than a tree bashing, upside down, sideways mess. I still can’t believe this got picked over some fantastic community blueprints available.
Something tells me if you aren’t on YouTube or Mixer your creations (Blueprints, Tunes, Paints) count for nothing in this game.
Sad in fairness as the unknown usually have worked harder to “create” rather as “slightly tweaking” the defaults and pass them as their own.
I hate this race with a very bloody passion! All the others have been fun, this is not… at all. But I disliked the bike showcase anyways so this is only makes me hate it 10000 times more
HAHA it’s as if the venting helped because I did it again and barely got first hardly any mistakes… thanks board!
I got it 2nd try. You just need to take your corners with a good line, without losing speed. If you use the Y button a lot, then it should be easy. It’s hard to tell whether you’ll get 2nd or 1st until it ends, I found.
