I have regular wheelspin as a Super 7 reward. No problem as already got 2 917’s, but glad it wasn’t a PO or something

3

Same here, had the same last week too - just the wheelspin, no car. Again, not bothered as already have one of everything, but it doesn’t seem fair if others aren’t getting the car either?

4

Yeah. I hope it doesn’t stick that way.

I am absolutely loving sliding my R390 and GT86’s around in the snow on another note, though. Also used the Jag F-Type Zero Project Alpha thing for Midnight Battle and that was really nice to drive on the slippy stuff. You can hold those slides or keep it tight and it’s pretty good off the line.

5

Same. My prize was not a Porsche but another wheelspin.

6

Irritatingly it looks like I lost progress during the season change, had the autumn photo challenge and the last 2 dailies reset. Wish they’d fix that.

EDIT: Apparently it happens if you exit the game from either the Fortune or Lego Island DLC’s before the season change. How stupid.

7

whats in the backstage and what had won

8

Wrangler DD and Chevelle 67 are current choices.
Hummer open top won the last one. AH players will not allow a decent car to win. Wrangler DD will win this week.

Cmon guys, second week the horizon super 7 is bugged, at least for me on pc with microsoft store version, last week i did not get the lambo veneno but just a wheelspin, this week again, there is no porsche but just a normal wheelspin, ive been doing horizon super 7 every week for the past couple of months and there was ALWAYS a car to get each weekly super7,

please, fix it, I heard its working fine on xbox and steam version :confused:

10

Can anyone confirm if the super7 car reward is missing only on microsoft store version, anyone from xbox or steam here affected by it?

11

Winter, perfect time to bring out those S1 and S2 cars … :stuck_out_tongue:
But to actual playlist, I have a feeling I already completed this one too, a while back, but still.
Ok, trial and A 800 … cross country (yes what a surprise) racing with extreme offroad machines. I picked something a bit different. Sorry to Mini driver, that leaning wasn’t intentional, but Track-Tor doesn’t steer that good in last race. So the racing 2x1st and 3rd, 3:0 for team (easy drivatars this time).
Top Gear Track-Tor, tune - 108 868 608
or Ford F-150 Prerunner DD, tune - 795 974 100
or copy paste from last week
Jeep Wrangler DD, tune - 756 246 482
or Jeep Trailcat, tune - 877 210 267

Now to fun part, S2 998 road racing on 2/3 snow tracks with cars that cost more then 2M … time for snow tires
Since this one was latest prize car …
Lambo Veneno, tune - 181 383 563

Next to S1 900 street scene with track toys, again with 2/3 snow tracks … Viper on snow tires sounds good to me, so
Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR, tune - 185 778 532

Finishing championship and S1 900 dirt racing with Hooniogans, car from rivals worked just fine
Hoonigan Ford RS200, tune - 545 011 302
or Hoonigan Ford Escort RS1800, tune - 151 786 541

PR stunts and again nothing new here, so Koenigsegg Agera RS, tune - 167 849 655 for danger sign and speed trap, used McLaren Senna, tune - 176 256 116 for speed zone (no snow on it).

Weekly Forzathon car also reused Mercedes Benz 190 2.5-16 Evo, snow tires fitted and tuned to A 800 - 585 692 741, went to Astmoor speed trap, to get easy 3 star in one pass, then did The Goliath for clean racing and millage.

Weekly Super 7 reward is Porsche 917 LH

I think this was a reaction to all the complaining there used to be when people had to do trial road races in Winter. Now we just get dull cross country events time after time. Shame, as the S2 and S1 events this week would both make much better trial events.

13

People complaining about winter in general really, but I agree with you, too many people complained about winter road races, because they don’t know how to tune a car for winter. I don’t find CC boring, it’s one of my favorite racing styles. Dirt being my favorite of course. Street racing is my least favorite due to traffic magically appearing out of nowhere just to wreck you.

I have 2 Nissan GT R Fe’s in S2, one for dry/rain and one for Winter. If I ever get a third, I will tune it for rain since my dry build is a little sketchy in rain and my winter build is even worse. Lower classes I use different cars for different seasons and race styles. In most cases, I have different cars and builds depending on seasonal event requirements, I just find the Nissan GT R to be the best handling car in S2, personal choice for my driving style of course.

S2 in Winter, great idea
Had same feel of doing it again

Trial was easy, right after start i’ve played alone but no idea if they lowered the drivatar level or what happened
Used the Wrangler DD A796 “out of Box” and was atleast +10sec in front, starting same events in singleplayer on unbeatable looks different

15

Painfully slow loading time between races 2 and 3 in the trial. Makes no sense. It was fine before both races 1 and 2, so what’s changed?

16

is anything in the forzathan shop worth it

17

Rimac if you haven’t already got it. I hadn’t so I was dead pleased.

Still waiting for the Stingray and the 2020 Mustang :slight_smile:

18

Ah, the Trial. Even the name “Tobagganing” is recycled, so pretty sure each series will just be a repeat of an earlier series. But hey, considering how long this game has been out, and they are still adding new cars and other add-ons to it, I won’t complain…too much. lol

So, I have a question for the group:

Take a look at my team, how well do you think we did? lol

1920×1080 1.31 MB

I saw this line up and was like, ok, so it’s gonna be a nice practice run. Yeah, we lost though we did win the second race. I may have forced an AI into the corner of a house…which caused it to crash into two other AI. Not saying that had anything to do with it…but hey, I don’t cry for AI. lol

I ran the Ranger T6 and even though the top speed wasn’t quite there, it did really well. A little twitchy and would sometimes divebomb a turn, so don’t run the gates too closely, but it did really well. I had to run the Trial 4 times to finally finish with a win. Out of 12 results, I took first 10 times, disco’d (while in first) and placed second on the third race. But going off jumps, it lands like an absolute brick. lol

Finished all the events, I’ll post up tunes and such tomorrow.

I didn’t have the Lambo Venano show up in Horizon 7 last week, just a wheel spin (Xbox One S). But I played Lego on Friday night without loading Horizon 7 last week. This week, I set my home to the cottage, quit the game fully, and opened up Horizon 7 first thing in free roam after looking at the playlist, switching to and tuning up the MB 190E and the Porsche 917 LH did show up.

For the Trial, I have a Wrangler DD I tuned to A800 centered on a race transmission swap and gear tune and was surprised…I’m sloooooooow and it is what is, so usually last or beating 1 or 2 drivatars and hoping I don’t drag down the team too much. This week, solid middle of the pack finishes and actually lead (!!!) for a bit until I lost the checkpoint in the snow in second race.

20

I thought all the races were easy. The only hard thing in winter is the Danger Sign after a tunnel in the snow.
