Forzathon Discussion

[Populuxe]

I just bought 20 cars:

1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
1964 Aston Martin DB5
1983 Audi Sport quattro
1981 BMW M1
1953 Ferrari 500 Mondial
1962 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
1967 Ferrari 330 P4
1968 Ferrari 365 GTB/4
1984 Ferrari 288 GTO
1966 Ford GT40 Mk II
1954 Jaguar XK120 SE
1956 Jaguar D-Type
1961 Jaguar E-Type S1
1956 Lotus Eleven
1957 Maserati 300 S
1961 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage
1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupé
1973 Renault-Alpine A110 1600S
1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C
1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

Normally these 20 cars would cost 50,668,000 credits, but using the 30% discount combined with the 5% discount from the driver perks (and yes, I had over 200 points saved up), I was able to buy them all for 32,934,200 credits. I am saving the three 10,000,000 credit Ferraris for the Wild Horses: Ferrari Week Forzathon event in December.

I also picked up a 1988 Chevy Monte Carlo SS in the auction house for 3,000 credits to get the 50,000 bonus.

 

[Big Goonz]

Bought a few cars

Mclaren P1
Mclaren F1
Mclaren F1 Longtail
Ferrari FXXK
Ferrari La Ferrari
Lykan Hypersport

Guys, do NOT buy the Ferrari 250LM. Save your credits, as it's a Forzathon reward for one of the December events.

Too late!

I'll just use the second one to transfer credits from my second account when I get that far.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Bought the La Ferrari and Bugatti veyron with the discount.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm just saving money for a Ford GT40 MkII, nothing more.

Most were American but a few were European. Total cost normally would have been 5,057,000, but thanks to the 30% discount, I got them all for 3,539,900 (actually less than that. I used the extra 5% discount from the driver's perks, but only had enough for about 10 cars.

 

[Northstar]

I can't remember everything I bought, but my Corvette collection is complete as is my Shelby collection. I also purchased the Alfa 33 and TZ2, Ford GT40 MKII, Ferrari 250 GTO and 250 LM plus a bunch of random cheaper cars.

I was a bit bummed that I purchased the 250LM, but the weekend of that event I'll be busy pretty much the entire weekend so I probably wouldn't have had time to jump 50 danger signs.

I've pretty much finished this week's Forzathon. I still need to do the 30 head-to-head races for the horn, but that's pretty low priority for me. I got the last four Lambos I didn't have: Centenario, Veneno, Reventon and Diablo. I'm going to spend as much of the weekend building up money as I can. I need about 19.6 million credits to get the last 10 Ferraris I don't have (it's actually 11, but the 250LM is a prize car so I don't have to save up for it.) I don't want to spend a whole lot of time with next week's Forzathon events when the winter expansion is dropping on that Friday.

I do wish the Forzathon challenges would have a way of keeping track of progress.... I'm rather curious on the Ferrari Danger Sign jumps, can you repeat them? Don't even think there are 50 Danger Signs.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I've been so busy playing Overwatch lately that I've completely forgot about the Forzathon stuff.

 

[Populuxe]

Yeah, I think you just need to do 50 jumps, and you're going to have to redo them out of necessity. I'm thinking about just going over the one near the airport over and over again until I've got the 250LM.

Check your achievements--they show the percentage to completion.

 

[laserviper]

I just kept returning back to the jump by the refinery I didn't do a single jump that cleared 40m and it still counted.

 

[MedigoFlame]

I didn't think about that. X_x Thanks.

Edit: Although....don't Forzathon achievements not show up until you get them?

 

[Northstar]

Edit: Although....don't Forzathon achievements not show up until you get them?

They usually appear in the achievement list in advance actually. They tend to be randomly mixed in with the normal ones though so it can be difficult to spot the active Forzathon ones.

 

[Maxrevv]

Gonna be offline on S14 Forzathon again. Maybe its a sign that I am not worthy of thy SR20.

Ferrari week sounds great. Can't wait.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Was doing jumps for half an hour before I realized I needed to be in a Ferrari. Derp.

250LM in the garage. Don't really care about the other events.

 

[Populuxe]

250LM in the garage. Don't really care about the other events.

Got my 250LM as well. Pretty easy. Just a little tedious. I got the rest of the achievements. They were all pretty easy, too. Also got the other 10 Ferraris I didn't already have, so now I own them all. My grinding is finally over.

I don't think you need 50 danger signs, I junk you just need 50 jumps. I havent done it myself yet but if this is the case then take the jump in the river or the one near the satellite dishes, those can be jumped in both directions. Just approach low speed and zig zag over them for 50 jumps.

You can just farm one jumping spot over and over again. I picked the one near the satellites as you can get back to to the jump very quickly.

Yes that's what I ment.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Got my 250LM. Repeating the jumps was really easy in my AWD FXX K.

 

[ykiki]

Unfortunately, the December Forzathon announcement came just after I bought the 250LM in the Black Friday sale. Now I have 2 of these. I'd love to sell one, but the Auction House seems to be filled 250LMs with no bidders.

Too bad we can't "gift" duplicate cars to others.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

That was easy enough, just repeated the same jump 50 times (The one outside the Airport) in an F40.

Make me Dumb was on all the time aswell, for whatever reason you do the jump and the song goes back a bit.

I don't mind, I like that song.

 

[Big Goonz]

yeah got mine with the ff, at the danger sign they gave in the demo

 

[Maxrevv]

Finally got the 250LM. Think this is the first time I've aimed for the shortest jump as possible. Record was 0.76M.

 

[yabiggoose]

Mine was 0.39m lol.
