Drifting is like Marmite is for us Brits. Some people love it and others don't.
I'm not the only one working on this. For the first time, and following requests by some users, i just gave access to my internal tools to assign and build Mastery Grids. Three other K' users are currently helping.
Until i read this, i wasn't aware it was you by email!
I don't know why they changed this nor if they did it on purpose. The link between a car rarity and its Mastery Grid applied to all the cars of FH4 at initial release of the game, but not after.
That's some Maxx Bantz level stuff.
You can get the Mugen by doing solo stuff, I haven't done any of the championships yet and currently sit at 25 points.
For the Modern Sports Cars on dirt, I used a totally stock Audi TTS, and didn't have any issue with it, probably due to being one of the only AWD cars on the track. I don't think many of the AI cars got upgrades either, running at not much over 700 PI. For the speed zone I used a stock McLaren 720S Spider, going east to west. You can cut the grassy corners quite a lot, and the car is near the top of S1 already. I'd won both cars from wheelspins, but they're both in the Autoshow too.
Or failing that just keep an eye on the auction house, as I'm pretty sure the buyout price isn't going to be terribly outrageous and it doesn't really strike me as a hoarder's car. Presuming it doesn't have some insane meta-cheese quality that I'm not aware of, that is.
A Ferrari 430 Scuderia can be downgraded into A class if you put offroad tires on it, since it technically loses a lot of grip (but is still better than most A class cars are on stock tires). Match it with a decently tuned rally suspension and mind the throttle when cornering, and it feels almost like a fat Stratos. The AI also tends to counter with mostly stock BMW i8's, but those are pretty hopeless in wet conditions it seems as they were getting nearly sideways on any corner that required more than gentle braking.
I did it with a stock F-Pace, using a few rewinds. Sometimes the same section I re did and it got vastly worse and had to rewind until I nailed it in order to ratchet up the order to get 1st so not an easy series of races. You can only catch on corners so can't slide too much and lose speed there or else you've had it.
I used the Ferrari 458 Italia with a popular tune with good handling in the list of suggestions, you want handling stat as much as possible, and acceleration, top speed doesn't matter here (someone here reccomended IgnJarams tune but I could not do it with that, tried over 10 times and was always a couple mph off). I did it going from west to east starting from the trailblazer gate building speed to around 140 before it starts. Hard braking for the first corner, cut the S as much as possible then flat out to recover enough speed before the final turn onto the bridge.
Forzathon is fubar. I have managed to complete exactly one in 100+ hours. One way you can get FP is through the mastery tree of cars that give it.
The speedzone was tough but I was able to get it with the McLaren 570s. One bit of advice I can give because it was what was messing me up is, it's average mph so don't concentrate so much on the last part of the trap so much as keeping your speed up in that part between the 2 curves. Smooth and fast through that part was the key to my getting it finally.
Which models?
F-Pace stock tires are the worst.
Yeah, but I'm moreso trying to win the Funco F9 from Arcade accolades than get Forzathon points. I loved that car in Horizon 4 but it's a rare car in Horizon 5, which is why I've been suffering trying to unlock it.
Two big ones are both R32's. The Golf especially is noticeable as it's way longer behind the rear wheel than the real car.
I can't name all of them off the top of my head, but a lot of the Japanese cars have been recycled since the first and second FM games. It's also noticeable with cars from 2002-2006.
Last week when the Forzathon shop opened up, finally, there were a noticable uptick in participants. I would bet that there are a lot more people who want to spend FP in the shop as we get closer to the weekly end. I'll be game until about 5 more hours. I'm at 408 pts right now with nothing purchased yet
One of the easier tells is to look into the main grilles on the bumpers of cars.
They are not exactly recycling, as they continue to make improvements.
Honestly even if they fix the models I think there's some more visual weaknesses. A lot of materials on the cars look like **** IMO.
The R32 doesn't look that bad, but the Silvia is totally off.Two big ones are both R32's. The Golf especially is noticeable as it's way longer behind the rear wheel than the real car.
The S15 also looks v awkward compared to the real car.

I've driven and seen quite a few of these cars and only 2 (other than the aforementioned R32 and Silvia) looked a bit off - the ACR Viper and the Subaru 22B.
The Z32 is also a chimera, but an even more egregious one: The exterior is a short wheelbase 2-seater, but the interior is that of a long wheelbase 2+2.
It’s one of those events we had to do to first unlock horizon festivals in different areas. The event with the parade float is one of them. Unfortunately, I did the one with the parade float, and it didn’t count as an expedition. Even though it says expedition on the event.
