Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[droplin]

If you want a car to try at rivals, I've just gone #2 on the leaderboard for the Railyard Express street rivals, using my own tune of the 2005 Ford GT. It's shared as "S1 OP". So if you grab that tune and drive against my ghost, you know you're using the exact same tune I used, and driving against a wheel performance.

This is the best I could do, now I'll have to reprogram my brain to how physics work irl so I can play assetto corsa again xD. TBH it's not so bad on the wheel, maybe I'll start giving it more attention.

That's a very solid performance, well done, not many people ahead of you on the leaderboard now. You'd probably take some more time off with more practice at the track, it took me a fair bit of time to do a good enough run to do that time. The random traffic is pretty infuriating.

Anyone get the new Forza survey? I hope it's not a hint at the future.

You’re under NDA, not a good idea to talk about it here

I've edited out specifics, although I was not eligible to complete it, so don't know the details either than the subject. You can edit your "quote" of my post if you see fit.

I hope that 500 strong one refers to the new GT500.

Also, did the Celica bring Toyota it's first Manufacturer's championship?

 

[-Fred-]

Let's get the easy ones out of the way:

Cheap, stripped out and fun; but only in white.

I delivered my team's first manufacturer' title.

The ST165 won the driver's championship in 1992, but the ST185 won the manufacturer championship in 1993 and 1994

 

[RazorSharkz]

Hopefully the Icon line is about the Dakar Truck that has been in all of the leaks

 

[Clark]

Nissan Pulsar is the one about the neutron star.
Also @-Fred- that’s not a real Rallye

I used the first picture I found.

Good catch on the Pulsar, probably the leaked GTi-R. Looks like a rallye/homologation themed month!

 

[Clark]

Also they only made 500 Ford Racing Pumas

Someone on Twitter said there were only 500 Saab 9-3 Turbo X's too

 

[Populuxe]

An icon across desert, forest and mountain.

FJ40 maybe? (Hopefully?)

 

[VXR]

That's a 1.3 carb Rallye, is it not?

 

[Clark]

He posted a RHD one at first

 

[WanganDream]

I really want a Puma and Pulsar. If more 205 Rallye and ST185 are coming, next month will be the best update for my love of these rally cars!

PS: 205 Rallye is also probably confirmed. They were saying on the winter streaming that "the new Peugeot is coming to the game in a few months".

 

[willbsn13]

People on twitter think

An icon across desert, forest and mountain.

could be related to the Subaru Crosstrek Racer, also on the leaked list. Would fit the theme of off-road/rally month.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Wow this is like the days when Forza used to do clues like these with its old games. I'm not really good at this kind of stuff, but I do enjoy the guesses that are given out on this forum. 👍

This is fun!

 

[WanganDream]

Now, here are six clues.
Perhaps we'll get two new cars as new prizes for the new Horizon Story, or the Horizon Promo.

Of course, maybe it's an eliminator prize, but there tends to be a lot of negative feedback from the community about adding a car to a PvP prize.
Also, I would guess that they are more likely to add a new prizes here to liven up the Horizon Promo.

 

[willbsn13]

So we've got

> I delivered my team's first manufacturer title

1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185

> An icon across Desert, Forest and Mountain

2017 Subaru Crosstrek Desert Racer?/1975 Citroen DS23?

> We're a rare breed, 500 strong

1999 Ford Racing Puma

> Cheap, stripped out and fun; but only in white

1991 Peugeot 205 Rallye

> As bright as a neutron star

1990 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R

> Horsepower of heavenly stock

2010 SSC Ultimate Aero??/ 2012 Shelby 1000?? (cheers @ClydeYellow, better guess than i'd come up with)

**Other candidates that fit the compact/rally theme from the leaked list**
1977 Ford #5 Ford Rally Escort MK2
1967 Ford #1 Ford Rally Escort MK1
1992 Mazda 323GTR
2004 Nissan Patrol Dakar Edition
2007 Peugeot 207 RC
2007 Peugeot 207 Super 2000
2004 Peugeot 206 RC
2018 Porsche #00 Porsche Macan “RR”
1985 Porsche #65 Porsche 911 Desert Off-Road
2013 Volvo C30 Polestar

The "icon across desert, forest and mountain" could be the Citroen DS23 - which won the 1000 Lakes (forest), Montecarlo (mountain) and Morocco (desert) rallies.

The other cars could be the Ford Racing Puma (500 made), Peugeot 205 Rallye (cheap, stripped out, and only available in the Peugeot Sport white) and Nissan Pulsar GTI-R (A pulsar is a type of neutron star), which were also leaked and would fit a "rally icons" theme established by the Celica GT-Four ST185 - the car that brought Toyota their first World Rally Championship for Makes.

As for the last hint, I am really stumped. I have little doubt this will be this month's "halo car", and it will be something with lots of horses under the bonnet - maybe the SSC Ultimate Aero?

"An icon across Desert, Forest, and Mountain."

Those are the three stages in the original SEGA Rally. I'm thinking that it's the ST205 Celica.* I don't doubt the first manufacturer's title clue being the ST185, but I'll never say never to two Toyotas in an update!

*It could also be a Group A Lancia Delta, which is plausible given that we have the Group 4 Stratos and Group B Delta S4.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

"Horsepower of heavenly stock". Is there any notably heavenly, angelic or otherwise cars that we are missing?

"Car with arbitrarily high horsepower" seems a little easy

My guess, Mercury was a roman God, which would make him heavenly. A cyclone could be heavenly high. 70 is when the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler came out during the height of the horsepower wars.

Edit: I got my wording wrong but the Mercury does kind of work even with the words right.

The Delta Integrale Evo has been in the game since launch.

I’m talking about the rally (read: race) version of the car, which is more powerful and has all the things a rally car has, much like the Group 4 Stratos and the Group B Delta S4.

Right...but they haven't modeled dedicated rally-spec versions of the other Gr. A road cars (Legacy, Galant, etc.; I guess the Escort Cosworth would count if you consider the Ken Block version, but that's really a special circumstance with both the KB/Hoonigan license and having way, way more performance than a Gr. A Cossie would have had in-period), and you can put mudflaps, roof vents and the like on the Integrale to make it look pretty much like a competition car.

Plus the Delta S4 Stradale can be converted to full Gr. B rally car cosmetics via body kits rather than the separate models seen in FH3 and FM7. I don't see them reverting to that practice with the Integrale but nothing's stopping them from proving me wrong...

 

[nursemorph]

Oh....my...god!! They are bringing the Nissan Sunny to the game? To those that don't know the Sunny GTi-R was the European variant of the Pulsar (basically, the base car was called the Sunny) with slightly less power etc due to the ECU restrictions....I always wanted one when I had my Nissan Sunny...I only had the standard 1.6L version but it was nippy so always wonder what the GTi-R variant could do.

Thanks, I had no idea the Sunny was called the Pulsar elsewhere. I remember that crazy GTi-R with the bonnet grill. Even though I was fairly young at the time, the looks were a bit "boy racer" for me. It was like it had been pre-modded for all those people who liked to mod cars. A performance weapon, for sure, though.
