As every winter the danger sign is almost impossible, suggestion?

3

I agree that an angle often works best. There’s a tree to the SE up the hill a bit. I usually use it as a guide for the angle of attack. I used my 98 Supra winter rally tune for all the stunts with the danger sign the only one needing several attempts. It seems like the difficulty isn’t adjusted for Winter.

4

Yes, but not in this case, with my usual agera rs is not feasible, can you suggest a car and tune for this danger sign in winter?

5

I used an Agera X class tune called Snow/Jump. Go SE up the hill (off to the left) and get in a position where you can just see the flags. Get up speed coming back down the hill and hold your line (you may have to rewind if you go off the line but it can be easily done without having to rewind). You should clear the required distance by at least 50 to 60 feet or 23 metres thereabouts.

6

I have 2 main tunes that I use for jumps. The 98 Supra Winter Rally (609 842 300) tune, and an older BMW M6 FE Rally Forzathon (153 972 931) tune. I know but the M6 actually works pretty well maxed on rally springs and dirt tires.

Edit: ok, tried the M6 and though it had my PB for a long time a Mustang S5 has it now. “Rally no Aero” (333 464 317). I made the objective with the Supra and Mustang today in Winter. Hope this helps.

This particular one is the hardest PR stunt in the whole of festival playlist.

Here’s a video how to make it: https://youtu.be/jT0yy1CBvDw?t=65

8

Same suggestion as every time for that danger sign, don’t attack it head on, get some angle, you jump much further that way.

As for other suggestions I’ll check tomorrow after lunch here, but quick glance at Max’s post: trial will be Alfa Romeo TZ2, Ford GT 40, Shelby Daytona, …
Solo: offroad buggies - Ariel Nomad, Alumi Craft, Hot Wheels Rip Rod
Renault probably Clio R.S. 200 and for retro muscle I haven’t decided, maybe Viper.
PR stunts will be done as always with Koenigsegg Agera RS or Mosler.
Weekly forzathon hyper car will be Italdesign Zerouno or McLaren/Lego Senna.

Take care everyone and have fun, bb.

45 minutes of my time well spent on this one and I only got it when the Forza gods decided they’d had enough of making my cars bounce up on one wheel, rotate in mid air, or go left or right of the actual jump. I ended up back in the Mosler (after a brief, fruitless sojourn in the Jesko), having swapped to the 7.2l racing engine, and coming in from the right-hand side.

I know how to deal with the jump, but the amount of speed lost as you thumped down ahead of the checkpoint and the distance you were supposed to attain made this a right pain (and a left one).

10

The video also references both car and the tune.

Danger sign: started here:

1920×1080 2.48 MB

Landed:
1920×1080 3.56 MB

I had to use a rewind few times as I actually didn’t see where I’m going (doing this on balcony on laptop, with morning sun at your side, is not really the way to go) but anyway, that was second try.
Speed zone was done in Hoonigan Ford RS200.

If I go to trial, I’ll use Shelby Daytona on winter tires.

Solo championship with retro muscle done with HDT VK Commodore Group A, with offroad tune - winter tires :slight_smile:

Rest I described in my first post.

Have fun everyone, bb

Thanks, just done at first try with Agera RS with jump/snow tune

14

That’s exactly where i start from El Barto. Best and easiest place to start the run i reckon.

15

I did the PR stunt jump with 599XX EVO and a snow jump tune. I found the Agera snow jump tune too hard to control the car.

16

Jump done 2nd try with Hoonigan RS200
Tune 844 946 838.
X class, by our very own El Barto.
Thanks EB. Thing is a giggle to drive too.

This was me doing the danger sign last year.

I done my PB coming from that line (pretty sure it was Agera RS) starting back past the speed trap though and passing to the right of the big tree near flags. Can’t do it again in Winter as too slippery, done it in Summer. Got a nice slide when i landed which gave me 352 metres (landed in paddock next to Freeway left hand side). Prior to that PB it was 322 metres. Took awhile to get it right when launching and is not something i wish to subject myself to again for several hours.

Glad to see people are having some better results. I tried a few different cars that all made the seasonal req. The M6 tune made it along with the a Jesko, One:1, 02 Corvette and Buick GSX. I practiced a bit with the Supra again and ended up with a best of 922 feet / 281 meters. All of this was from the tree a bit behind El Barto’s example. The Vette is the least expensive and ended up with 791 feet after a few attempts.

One thing that made it easier is hitting the right side of the jump. The further left the more I was in the dip and slowed by the compression.

Aced the jump with the 599XX E :man_shrugging: it accelerates fine on the snow.
