Nice all the HE cars!! So far I've got four, the Camaro & Mustang were bought along with the Focus and F-Type which were won from spins. Going to try the goliath race tonight with the Mustang but only 10 laps, don't think I could take anything more than that! smile
I only had to buy one of my HE cars which was the M3 (The one I wanted the most!) it didn't come up once as a 'You could win' option, so I had to buy it for 3 bloody million!

Good luck! I think I'll be giving Goliath a miss for a bit hehe

We should set up some sort of PH Goliath race.. 5 laps in D Class? wink

I've discovered a faster and less needing of commitment way to earn XP than doing the Goliath race. Before you start, you need the E36 M3 Horizon Edition and there are also some perks which will help boost your score.

This video explains it in detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXZ06vUxsRc

Enjoy! cool

I've been doing this. It works, but feels like cheating.

That's from ~25mins work with one eye on Forza and one on Netflix.

I have no doubt I (or anyone, for that matter) could do better if they were paying more attention and getting as many runs in as possible all as close to 300,000 skill points as possible.

Just in case anyone missed it, the S14 is now available from Forzathon. All you have to do is drift a Toyota Trueno through a drift zone and get 30,000 points smile

Makes a very capable drift car!

I did 10 laps of Goliath tonight in the mustang with no perk buffs and AI on one below expert.

Took me 2hrs as I wasn't paying attention... best lap a 12:11

Got 819,677 credits
1,151,519 xp (so went from 105 > 165)
first spin 2k... awesome!

only won the Dodge Viper and Ford GT HE cars from all my spins but I did get over 2mil in the end so not too bad, will probably do it again tomorrow for some more. I also got the drift skills BMW for a shade over 2mil so am happy with that smile

Now imagine that but 40 more laps hehe

I also did another 4 laps last night for some XP, I think the 'drift tap' method is cheating imo. I want to get to level 1000 soonish and I am on 479 atm so I have to do more Goliath..

I was done by lap 3 to be honest... however I could change the radio station all the way to the end, nyah-nyah! :lol:

I'm going to try do it tonight in my non-HE Skyline tonight but with the increase perks activated. If they are terrible then I can do another at the weekend with the Mustang again smile Do you get a reward for lv.1000?

I also got the S14 last night, drift spec the sprinter was hard work so did it in my Soarer V8 instead

I was also done by lap 3, but still had 47 of the fkers left!

Level 1000 is just a little star instead of a numbered level, nothing special really it's just different hehe

I have however given in and bought VIP and the Car Pass.. enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. The Aston Martin Vulcan sounds insane!

King, infected and Flag Rush are huge, huge fun, especially the latter. It makes for a pretty intense experience, particularly when you come close to being hit by another car!

The Aventador SV is my favourite for those games. 4WD and 1400 bhp make it pretty handy when you need to get moving from a standstill sharpish. It's particularly good when you slow down and put it in reverse quickly, it helps you to get out of sticky situations pretty rapidly!

Why am I struggling with this Forzathon thing? I've managed the AKA D.K. Achievement with the Trueno which is 100k but I can't seem to get the 35k to win an S14. banghead

35k should be easy, I did it in a standard Trueno at the drift zone in the eastern part of the Byron Bay town/village.

Failing that, you could always use some of those Goliath Race credits to buy an S14 off the Auction House, I imagine they'll be at their cheapest now whilst they're still winnable in a relatively easy event.

Save your he cars as the new update incoming replaces the winable ones on spins so prices should go up I'd guess as should be rarer.
