Forza Horizon 4 !

Still haven't tried a Skyline 
. They seem to have dropped off the leaderboard tonight though. Tried a 240SX and didn't gain anything with the way I set it up. Tried a Trueno and things improved. I'll probably try an MX-5 next, and maybe eventually before Sunday, a Skyline .
How often is the Backstage car list updated? Before now there's been a car in there I didn't own already, this week I've got 2 tickets but I own all the cars on the list.

Holy hell, how many engine options does the 240 have 
Its gonna take days to test them
Haha, Its gonna take days to test them
There are quite a few, the stats seem a little odd though, one tune I tried was 400bhp with a weight of say 1.2 tonnes, it should have been like a rocket ship but it just wasn't.
I've not tried 4wd yet, though, I was unsure with this PI whether 4wd would Rob too much top end and front grip??

I thought the same at first, but AWD allows you to run stock tyres and reasonable power.With RWD, I found that to be able to avoid wheel-spinning everywhere, upgraded tyres were needed. I think upgraded tyres use more PI than AWD conversion.
Although at first I was determined to stick to RWD, once I converted to AWD I went over 3 secs faster.

Maybe I'll try a few 4wd conversions on the various Nissan's. I love how much tuning/mod potential there are with these cars, the wide body conversions can really help with handing.
The 240 I've been chasing is rapid in a straight line, just too much too overcome for me so I'll be trying one of those next, the gen 1 RX7 is nice, not trued the Starion so I'll give that a go later too.
What sort of mods are people doing, is there a mod you go to first as I seem to mess about a lot and get a bit lost as I don't really know whats best.
Someone shared a base setting for 4wd different which is good but tuning? Not a clue really other than negative camber

Back to the drawing board
ETA: cutters and CT are untouchable in that MX5. No idea what spec they are running!

There's a Hot Wheels car pack out. 6 cars for £7.99 or £7.19 with Game Pass Ultimate. I'll wait a while before I decide whether to get it. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/forza-horizon-4-...

If ever there was a car which belies the stat chart numbers, it's the MX5.
Feel like there's going to be a lot of potential in it once you get used to driving it.
Quite funny dropping your own previous ghost completely off the radar
It's crazy isn't it, lots of other cars that should really do it but they just don't so you jump in the mx5 and you're away!Feel like there's going to be a lot of potential in it once you get used to driving it.

I even beat von in the trueno which I'll take
but then he got the mx5 and took 4 seconds out ajprice said:
Ok what did I do wrong with the MX-5, does it need a certain engine swap or the widebody? I tried it lastnight and it didn't get near my Trueno.
I've shared my tune, if you bring up the real-time telemetry it will give you a lot of info about the settings i used.Try to drive it with minimal slip/yaw angle.
Edit: I hope you like disgusting 3 spokes

There's more time in the Trueno, but the mx-5 is just silly. It wasn't even a very clean lap.I even beat von in the trueno which I'll take

but then he got the mx5 and took 4 seconds out That being said, even with the MX5 I couldn't catch Cutters or CT, very impressive times. So I have some tuning to try out I think.
I really wanted the RX7 to be the car for me, but in 4wd it hasn't got enough power and it's handling PI is too high even if I try and reduce it for power.. the Gen 1 on stats should be good, but it isn't, seems to get left behind the MX5 at higher speeds.

It's always a little disappointing when there is one car that seems to be the only one, I guess part of the challenge is identifying it and tuning it, but I always like it when there is a lot of variety.

I thought one of the two older RX7s would have been near the top but i was as disappointed as you that they are a bit gutless.That being said, even with the MX5 I couldn't catch Cutters or CT, very impressive times. So I have some tuning to try out I think.

(Could be down to my inept tune on them so might try again)
