Trouble beating the unbeatables?

[unfairlane]

AI drivers has got a lot of extra boost in this version of the game, both power and grip.
Unlike in earlier versions they`re close to unbeatable on unbeatable setting

I`ve done a 1965 Mini D-class setup that beats them. Can`t match their unbelieveable on-the-rails grip
but it out-accelrates them even after they`ve "adjusted" to my speed later in races.

1065 Mini D-class code: 660 274 445


Tuners against drivatars!

Another unbeatable beater: Buy yourself a Renault Megane R26.R and give it
this setup: 844 077 958 (updated wheels to match)

You now have a raceready rallycross car, fast enough to play around with
the not so unbeatables

Definitely seems worse this time around.
As usual most of the driveatars aren't an issue to pass except one or two that pull miles ahead of the pack every time.

I used Don Joewon Song's Willys Jeep tune to complete the A class dirt races. The Unbeatable AI didn't give me any problem at all.

Then I left the AI on Unbeatable to do the B700 Classic Muscle event in this week's playlist. No problem with those either. Perhaps it's a problem in higher classes?

It's a bit random, and seems to somewhat car dependent as well. I can attest that the higher the class, the more of a PITA unbeatable driveatars are. Driveatars also seem to get a slight head start in races, and are able to put down lap times that compete with and even smoke some of the best (non-cheating) leaderboard times in the game. There's a video on the Forza Horizon subreddit that shows the head-start, as well as the driveatars gaining increased speed even though everyone is driving a stock Huracan.

I personally think that the Driveatars are bugged, and are performing well above where they should be. Usually the driveatars are pretty bad for the first week or two in a new Forza, but then start to settle down somewhat when the game gathers more data on player behavior in order to adjust the AI. However, right now they are a bit nuts, and I do think the devs need to actually address the issue.

Thanks for the tunes. I haven't tried them yet but there's a typo in your Pontiac tune. It should read 171 342 383 👍

[EDIT] The Mini was really planted, helped me nail a top 10% rivals score on Cordillera Sprint so thanks.

I take back everything I said earlier about unbeatables btw, the Willys Jeep was easy to beat them but road races aren't so easy.

Had to make up a S1-racer to get some points yesterday, so I picked a 95 Porsche GT2 and gave it a
"rallycross" setup first, quick & grippy. code 134 382 863

A bit too safe? Moore power & less grip on the second one, but to my surprice it just did a win at Goliath
against the unbeatables. I was 6th halfway but outpowered them on the way home
- code 119 310 956
