Did a few laps of Bahia De Plano Circuit this evening on rivals in S1 class, if anyone fancies giving it a go here’s my time. (Gamertag: GUFFED)

I've set a time on this to get on the board, but I can't see this Rivals leaderboard, just the Global, Near Me and Friends leaderboards when I cycle through.

I'm not the first in the livery search but I did a paint of CarThrottle's Phil the MX-5

Had another go at this - manged to squeeze a tiny amount extra, probably no than a number plates thickness in front of cutters



I'm fairly sure that a 39 is possible with the right tune, I'm just using a tune i found rather my own, i didn't check last night so it may already be broken

How do you see the Club leaderboard? I only see Global, Near Me and Friends?

I'm not there in I Am Milk's leaderboard screens.

According to this I think I'm in the Pistonheads PSTN club



In the Clubs menu in the game, i get this



and I don't have PSTN next to my gamertag on top left. Am I in the club or not? Does ChrisSMorris have to do something?

I just joined straight up as normal.
Have you tried leaving and then joining again.
I'll be on tomorrow if you want me to send an invite?
Is it ajprice?

It's ajprice76, I've tried leaving and joining a few weeks ago and it didn't change anything. I'll try an invite though, thanks.

[ajprice]

I'll try an invite tonight, if this doesn't work, I'll try reinstalling the game (eek! I know it SHOULD keep my garage, credits etc, but I'll be doing it with my fingers crossed)

I've put a ticket in to Forza Support about not seeing club or rivaleaderboards and got a reply a few minutes later which I think is the standard auto response.

This was after leaving/rejoining the club, and reinstalling the game (it did keep my progress in the game ). I didn't see any invite to the club DrabbestTunic, can you try that again when you're on and I'll see if I get it next time I'm on, my GT is ajprice76.

Have you tried joining another club to see if you can see what you should be able to? Then leave that and join the PH club.

No, that's way too logical and sensible for me to think of, I'll try it tomorrow

Started on the series 4 playlist stuff lastnight, I wasn't sure if you're supposed to do the triathlon challenge in the same car on the road, dirt and cross country races, but I did anyway, in a B700 Mini Countryman. Did enough other stuff to get the 25 points for the NIO EV.

Hopefully sorted soon!

The monthly rivals is a good combo this week

Don't think I've driven a car in this game with such a lazy change in direction, and I really struggle with braking points without having to change gears for some reason

I really disliked that car. It’s ferocious fast; but just didn’t work.

I think it took me 7 laps lastnight to do a lap without hitting something, usually the 90 degree corners near the end of the lap . Being in the dark didn't help and I think it's a track I haven't driven much.

[ajprice]

Right, got the 40 points for this week, so that's done.

I joined another club, and I couldn't see rivals leaderboards in that either, do it's a my game thing, not a PSTN club thing. I haven't received any invite, in the game or in the dashboard menu, I'm not sure where they would show up. I'm not in the club at the moment, but I pressed the request an invite button on the club page, if that does anything. The rest of the game is fine, I can go between horizon solo and horizon life, I can see other players, and I've had accolades for rivals stuff.

Is there anything simple I'm missing, like an accolade, race or achievement to unlock rivals leaderboards? Reinstalling the game this week didn't change anything, so I'm stumped.

I'll ping you one again aj, we can be fwiends

Not sure why they've dropped, speedzones, speed cameras and danger zones from the weekly challenges.

I've added you as a fwiend in the dashboard, I hope, there are a few DrabbestTunics so I checked your number on the leaderboard screenshots .

I miss the danger signs and cameras, maybe they went because it was a pretty quick 15 points . No eliminator, arcade or your until later in the month too.

Got the Wuling MPV thing, and it's got some interesting mods and conversions

I know we're all playing GT7 now but the new season started on this yesterday. There's a new story for a drift club and it's all very doable, the prize for 3 stars all the way is the Mustang Mach E drift car EV (1400bhp and switchable between AWD and RWD). I only had to do a second go on two of the stages because I ran out of time, not because I couldn't drift and get the 3 star target scores.

psgcarey said:

Happily for those of us that do not like drifting, you just need to complete all the chapters to unlock the car, so 1 star all the way will do it.

The 1 star target is also so low it's harder to fail one star than get three stars!

Oh I don't like drifting, and I'm generally rubbish at it, but FH5 drifting isn't hard and 3 starring these was no problem apart from running out of time when I had the points and I was messing about getting more points instead of going for the finish.

You want to win this weeks trial in the first two events.

Thankfully I did.
I went to do it a second time with the most rammer packed lobby ever.
Won the first
Rammed out twice 5th
Purposefully came last in the Goliath which meant the team lost and the tts had to run it all again.

I'd left this and got the 40 points together from the other stuff. Then I had a go at the Trial lastnight and won it in 2, I used a Lotus GT1. In the first race I started last, got nudged wide and missed a checkpoint early on trying to get through the pack to the AI cars. Finished last but the rest of the team were all ahead of the AI, race won. For the second race I started 1st and stayed 3rd for most of the race, close to a team car ahead and AI behind. In the last 10% the AI came through past me and had a go at 2nd, they both went wide, I cut through and the AI lost out to come 4th. Top 3 was blue, race won . I didn't know Goliath was the 3rd race!

The boy is looking forward to Hot Wheels

My first reaction to the Hot Wheels add on was being a bit disappointed they were doing the same thing again. Since then I've read that there will be water flume and ice track runs depending on the weather. The last Hot Wheels track was for FH3, things have moved on (Series X) so I'll give it another go on this.

[ajprice]

I'm still playing through it doing the weekly stuff for the points. I've got all the auto show cars and 30 million credits, so if I haven't got a car set up for a certain race, it's not much hassle to build one. 4 was a more fun game though.
