Congrats to all the racers who participated. As ever, I have scores. I'm only considering the nine racers who managed to make it to all five races, since one didn't make it to a single one, and two lost their connection after two races (not their faults, but not really scoring) so there are only nine places to give away. Scores did not change based on the number of racers. As always an extra point was awarded for fastest lap, and all racers score. Now I've gotten to the point where you have to click to view the scores and we can avoid spoilers. SirPeeble pulled off a win. He had less consistency than Alex who had 97 points to SirPeeble's 96. But SirPeeble had four fastest laps, so he comes in first with 100 points, and Alex comes in 2nd with those 97 points. Steve I Mido came in third with 90 points and the last of those fastest laps. There's a gap back to ShadowMarine in 4th with 75, then Silvatrigga in 5th with 62. Indomare3178 wound up in 6th with 54 points, edging out CoffeeAddict677 in 7th with 48. Glinty Stance took home 8th with 36 points, and MGFFTW93 was the back marker with 18 points. Notable: This is the first time Fastest Laps have swung a 2nd place into a winner. Alex won the 5th race, but three other racers had faster laps than him. It was a clinic on defensive driving. And an EPIC last lap dive. Discounting the disconnected racers, the second race had the same positions at the end of lap one as it did at the end of the race, and at the end of that race no car finished within half a second of another car. So again, congratulations to all the racers, well driven!
Lol my Xbox disconnected me from the first race not even one lap in so I guess I’ll see y’all when I’m available again! Was fun in the unaired S850 pi class though! I had midpack pace in my subie!
FWD is super underated in general, hell of a lot of fun once you get around the quirks. Interesting the MG and Lynk TCR Cars can actually reach S2 while remaining FWD, they're not any good but it's pretty hilarious to have a group of them. Even in S1 they can be utterly mad with so much power through the front. Some really good races here, especially that last one.
_"On tonight's FailRace:_ _"How much coffee should you bring to drive a Honda?_ _"How many Finns do you need to drive a Honda?_ _"And... is that a movi star in my Honda?"_ A nice clash of Hondas! FailRace brings Honda back into racing, after they pulled out of Formula 1 a while back. 😆
You only need one Finn to drive a Honda (was that a reference to me?) but apparently you need multiple people to run a functioning Xbox lol. My Xbox crashed 1 lap into the first race and wouldn’t restart. Had fun in the unaired s850 pi class races though.
Please do more of those free roam races. I don't know why, but especialy in forza those set races feels wierd. Also can anyone explain why multiplayer in racing games suck so hard?
I swear on the grave of my grandma that rally tire build with aero on RWD or AWD cars in A800 class is VASTLY superior than any other tire combination for track. That said... FWD? It is really a hit and miss. (To clarify: Rally tires with rear Aero frees up a LOT of PI for weight removal making the handling amazing)
Rally Tires are universally the most versatile Tire for Road Racing ingame, Meta for A Class and on a lot of S1 Class Cars. FWD generally benefit greatly from the increased grip of Semi-Slicks in A Class since the front tires do both the steering and acceleration but some builds are very strong with Rally Tires or Full Slicks. Some FWD builds also excel with Drag Tires but that's mainly in B Class. Drift Tires are also worth a try for A800 RWD or AWD, less stable at lower speeds than Rally tires but are a bit more responsive at higher speeds.
@@kspectre21 Okaaay, It's getting frustrated that you lose time anyway for tapping the wall, and you get extra slowed down by the mechanism and it kills the fun
@@stefangeorgievski8992 yea it's definitely an incredibly frustrating feature, especially if someone else pushes you into the wall and they just drive away as you get slowed down
Last race was incredible defensive driving, well done!
Alex actually set his fastest A class lap on estadia with this car, if you match against him in rivals you get to race against this civic.

My civic decided to be the most unpredictable car I've ever built for A class lmao
Representing Hotline 💪💪💪
Except Race 4, we won't talk about that 🥲
@@kspectre21 yeah lmao
My Civic was on rally tyres and had about 540hp. Was a fun set of races
That last race was incredible great job racers
Fantastic driving Alex on that last race! I think you were plenty withing the rules of the last lap with the cut across the track. no harm no foul!
That last race though.... 😵💫
Love seeing a grid full of Honda’s
Lol my Xbox disconnected me from the first race not even one lap in so I guess I’ll see y’all when I’m available again! Was fun in the unaired S850 pi class though! I had midpack pace in my subie!
Oof dude, sorry to hear that, I wish you luck next time!
@@SpoonRacing20 Ahh it’s fine. I’m absolutely horrid with fwd cars anyways. I’m more of an awd and rwd player.
Good defending on that last one and gg to steve for not dumping you when he had the chance.
Last race was epic. You wer not kidding about "desperate defense" Alex XD
Ah yes, the battle of the Lawnmowers 😂🤣
that last race was one of your best ever
That last race was maniac, amazing, we need more of these builds Alex🔥 but again it is your expertise 💯💯
what a final race!
Keeps you on the edge of your seat

Those looked like some really fun races!
Great content as always!
Now that I finally own this game, your FH5 racing is more fun to watch.
Last race was epic! Great watch!

@@finlandball1939 It was a reference. I tend to make my Top-Gear styled intros based on what I see in the vids; I only improvise them for Streams. 😏
Awesome race at the Mexico track!!
amazing last race
I wear the Dino outfit too, another Silvia named player one FH5 wearing Dino gear 😉
Awesome final race tho.
the civic gang, gotta take part of these looks very fun
Great tournament! Got to try the Clios, Golfs,Imprezas vs Lancers, and of course Focus tournaments👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hmmm, anyone else think that money changed hands with the Forza stewards at this checkpoint? 4:50 🙂
Either his side mirror or the edge of his mighty wing touched the flag, I think.
The CR-X's logic: "Drop a gear and disappear"
Somebody has a nasty backfire on their mower

I've built a few fwd cars that make 400hp and less that run away from most lobbies
Seems to be a buzz in the audio for me
Should do a race of Volvos. A-class
Howd he win the last race.. was awesome defending
good video

Why I do always get the slowdown effect from FH when tap the walls? :(
There's Slowdown in Horizon Open, these are done in Custom Races which don't have slowdown.

@@kspectre21 Is there like a discord channel for custom races?
The anti-lag needs adjusting, it fires off way too much.
Indomaret 😂
