Hello I am Oliver023 and thank you for your interest in this forum, I used to be a part of a few tandem clubs and compete competitively in tier based tourneys in Forza Horizon 4 and 3. In Forza Horizon 5, I do not plan on going back into it competitively as it can start wars and would rather relax, but I hope I can help some people out! Each Build I will place a star next to my build representing how much I recommend the build (some builds are just made for laughs). 1 star being the lowest and 5 stars being the highest
Build Explanations: For competition tandems, traditionally your car has to be 500 hrsp, rwd, and stock tires (Or snow tires if your car defaults to sport/race since they have the same grip). These are some of the major things to focus upon otherwise you would either be to slow or to fast to keep up pace. For Open based drifting, awd will score more points as you accelerate faster and can have more extended angle in comparison to a rwd car with slower acceleration buildup and less extended angle. Drag tires are still the meta setup for awd drift tunes as well… there are some cases though if your building for pi… changing tires is okay.
Note: I am in college atm so will update the list as I have time
