I've heard stories of the V8 lancers being OP as all heck, and I decided to build one to see if the stories were true

it's real, it's very real

Seems there are 6 new horizon edition cars in circulation.

Ford Escort RS Cosworth. Drift.
Holden Torana A9X. Drift.
Ford FRV Limited Edition Pursuit UTE. Destruction.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Drift.
Toyota Supraz RZ. Drift.
Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS. Credits.

Apologies if any of them aren't new in the spins. Managed to get 3 on spins, spinning for more but just seen it now costs 70,000 per spin, cheeky.

Also worth noting every car I have won tonight via spins, non-HE cars have not been duplicates, which is rare for me so they must have added different cars in as rewards too.
 
It's why I don't play online. It's simply not enjoyable with everyone crashing into you all the time.

It's kind of a shame there isn't a function to find and join online sessions populated by members of your club...

E: FINALLY added myself to the spreadsheet. Add me on XBL if you're lookin' to race :)

Anybody know how to fix the corrupted file bug? I have yet been able to play FH3 after my file got corrupted because of the dev version problem. I refuse to replay the 200+ hours I put into this game.
 
How do you guys complete drifting challenges?

I am not good at drifting & every time I get a good rhythm going it either gets interrupted by drivatars or traffic in the way.

Online just means people are ramming into you.

Try private online freeroam. You'll only have to deal with traffic and no drivatars.

The AI is bullshit and feel like it's done on purpose to fuck you.

Drift events are easy with great tunes though. Just go search for a tune for any car and you'll see stuff other people made. I had a Nissan GT-R that was tuned to perfection and could beat any drift event easily.

I agree with this 100%!

I have managed to get three stars on about four of the drift sections and two stars on all the rest, still having trouble getting three on them all though, I doubt I will be able to do it :(

I used rewind a lot on the drift challenges. Partly because I would have a great run only to be smacked by the AI. I have no regrets.

Also, used up all my stored wheel spins and another 5 million to get all the new HE cars. Thanks for the list Family Fry!

I've managed to 2-star all but 2 drift challenges (1@1-star, 1@3-stars) and I absolutely hate drifting in games. I'll be searching for an easy-mode drift tune and car to get them all to 3-stars.

Any good suggestions?
 
Hey everyone, I recently purchased Horizon 3 and I've gotten super into it. I tried joining the car club through the actual game and I tried joining the ForzaGAF club on Xbox One. I'm awaiting approval on both ends. My GT is Virtua Jake. Thank you and I hope to be racing with some of you soon!

PM sent.


New HE cars are definitely true, I've already seen a pic of someone's "You could win this" showing the Falcon Ute HE.

Also, some people are spreading pork pies about a new barn find (Holden SLR500) - just so everyone knows this isn't true. There's no new barn find in the game files.

And finally, I'm pleased because it turns out that the new cars drop straight into the dev build:

Where is that Ferrari 599XX Evo from?


I hope I manage to find somebody for the co-up Forzathon challenge :/

built myself a nice drift thing out of the S2000, finally 3 stared that fucking city drift and also laughed at just barely passing putting me in the top 6%

599XX is going to be a unicorn car this month, and I'll help with the co-op challenge whenever it is

Got you in the ForzaGAF club on the xbox one but haven't received the request in game. Don't worry, we'll get this sorted out. Sent a PM over to you.

Been messing with it but haven't found a setup I like. Do you mind sharing your tune?

it's not much. I basically just stiffened up the sway bars, spring rates, and dampers.
(dampers in the middle)

Edit 2: i was able to get more out of it thanks to a friend.

Ok thanks, how does one get a 599XX though?
 
Not quite sure yet. We'll have to wait for the 21st to find out I guess.

Got my HE 69 'Stang today! Anyone else think it's a coincidence that it's the same exact model as John Wick's car? ^^

It's quite easy though. Complete a online race, win a race, and complete a blueprint all in a Ferrari for the 599XX.

This is the list:

#Forzathon Gallop Out - Win a Race in a Ferrari to receive 10,000 CR

 #Forzathon Proud Challenger - Complete an Online Race in a Ferrari to receive 10,000 CR

 #Forzathon Groundwork - Complete a Bucket List Challenge in a Ferrari to receive 10,000 CR

#Forzathon Trifecta - Complete ALL ‘Speed Machine’ Challenges to win the Ferrari 599xx

There is only one Bucket List Challenge with a Ferrari and that's Bucket List Stunt #15 - Ferrari 488 GTB and that's a hard one (I have managed to do this one) I hope they don't do anymore of these I find some of them impossible :( like the drifting ones ;(

Finally got the PC version running on my computer, just needed to update my graphics drivers. Auto configured the settings and set it to run at 60 FPS. Now I just need to figure out the glitched achievements...

It will count. People have created their own bucket list challenges and completed forzathon challenges before.

I hope so

I can do this one but some of the bucket ones are very hard and I have not been able to do all of them.

The Ferrari 599XX is in the game already, I saw a photo icon over a car just now and stopped to take a photo and it was the Ferrari 599XX, I was also in a Extreme Track Toys race and the Ferrari 599XX was in it, it was very fast indeed! its rated [S2 998].

Only just found out there was a "Valentine's Day" #Forzathon yesterday, I have missed out on the Chevelle HE car :(

Yeah I completed that challenge with about 45 minutes to spare.

I swear the game is looking better on Xbone. Has there been a patch? Haven't checked the PC version in a while.
 
Excellent I like things like this it keeps me playing and gets me to try things I wouldn't normally, like winning a championship in a Dino.

Same here. I keep coming back to this game for the challenges, which get me to try new things, which I then stick around for. The loop is great and it's really sunk it's hooks into me, to the point I'm contemplating dropping cash on a wheel.

Wow I've been considering that lately as well I've got £80 credit at GAME which would go nicely towards a wheel.

Of course you need to use a barn find to get the Lola. :(

It's one of 2 cars you can use. I think the other is a DLC car though. :(

Shit man, where did you get that? Whats going on? I am so lost.

It's a forzathon challenge for the weekend. Complete an online adventure using either the Holden FX UTE or the International Scout to win the Lola.

I'll be around later today if anyone wants to group up and do some online races.
