That's because unfortunately (or fortunately), they don't really work that well in this game. Minus a few uses. They were always very annoying to race against, with how slow their cornering was lol
It would be nice if they removed collision from street debris after the original collision so it doesn't negatively impact others who didn't make the mistake of hitting it
To be honest, building a car just based on "momentum" was idealistic and "accidents happen" so maybe you should build cars a bit more robust. Just saying.
That was some of the most fun online racing i have done in a while, especially in the 1st and 3rd races trying to find a way past gliscor and ziperr! as for my camaro i was really surprised how it did considering it was on stock tyres especially on the dirt races. Great racing as always and will definitely be signing up for more with hopefully more of my wacky builds :D
Please advise how I ooen up more races? Im racing all the time but only opened up one showcase event and none in the city yet? Do yo have to come first or something?
The most ridiculous piece of street furniture I have encountered was a cross country race where the fence was taking a noticeable amount of speed off a 12000+lbs 2400hp unimog. I pretty sure I could kick those fences over but they slow down a unimog
Racing with ai, a car with the same PI that looks identical to yours is always going to be better no matter what, so take the tightest lines you can, avoid furnishings, and always cut off the AI.
@@Duval_Sama I have been keeping track of some of the others if I recognize the name or if they happen to show up multiple times. Just not sure whether or not to include them in the group.

@@bolbyballinger Do keep an eye out for ZipperPL. Much like a few of the other commentors have stated, Zipper somehow makes some of the most monstrous builds and drives them phenomenally. Getting seconds ahead of others. I really appreciate what you're doing with the averages. It's very interesting to see all of this info.
1. The through the middle pass by alex around 12:00 was fantastic. 2. The phone shenanigans in the last race was hilarious (I've never had jaffa cake, I think that's the spelling, so my vote would be carrot). 3. Heard a cat once, surprised there wasn't alot of distracto cats.
Would love to see a cross the map race with only a start point and finish point and vehicle class restriction. Take any route to get to the finish and see what mayhem ensues. Would have to rely on video from all players for full immersion though. But would be interesting to see the different though processes to get to the finish line first.
No mayhem ensues. They have done this before. Everyone is soon off taking their own route and you never see another car in the race until you get to the finish line. Because some routes are better then others the race to the finish is not a race at all and while you might see other cars ahead and behind they are far ahead or far behind. It is basically racing solo and comparing speed at the end.
I couldn't help but to laugh because Alex's reaction & commentary to the phone ringing was probably more distracting to him than the actual phone ringing.
I just built the most insane b class fwd rally golf. it was nothing short of awezome on the dirt after I managed to work through the massive kink that was how easy it was to roll.
@@michaelgamble2848 Yea, I watch his racing vids semi-regularly, and I cant tell you how many times I'd lose my temper, geting pushed around like he usualy doez. I'd end up introducing kuite a few ppl to walls. But I guess thats why hes a better person then the two of us. :P
this is how I built my 1960 Corvette for A class, you can max out the handling on slick tires and still have enough room to add a supercharger pushing the power to over 400HP, it's a monster
Ngl, I'd love to see a Manufacturer Showdown race, especially with one of the bigger manufacturers, like Nissan or Ford or Ferrari, or Lamborghini or Chevrolet or BMW. Whatever has at least 12 cars to run.
Alex: I think nine tails car has smaller tires and more power, maybe… Me, laughing my butt off thinking about the nine tails starter pack: bicycle tires and 900+ HP
It's the wildest thing, every time I decide I'm going to build a car to be grip/handling oriented, I just end up putting a bunch of power into it and slapping some grippy tires on it to compensate.
8speed trans everything espesh low power cars 170hp peak means much less low down so more gears helps so much Lengthen 1st to account for wheelspin. Adjust the others to keep them tight at high revs so the engie is always near max power and tune final drive for top speed you might hit on the courses . Will help alot
Alternatively I just noticed in the last race which was the fastest 5th gear was never used. So even the sport gearbox so you can shorten the final drive would help acceleration and cost barely any pi. Then tune that for the fastest track you'd plan to run on.
Im trying to like this game but it seems impossible to open up new events and races? I dont know what im doing wrong? Ive only got one showcase race open and no races on the dunes or in the city? Heeeelp!!
9:20 Compared to most other C/D class cars I've always found the Datsun to be meh. Not terrible but not good. It's better in B class, but there are many more much better options at b class too.
Since you can't have team adventures in this game, why not do a championship standings? I know some people might disconnect and that may ruin the score a bit, but it would be a nice addition anyway.
As much as it is the new thing and all, I am finding Horizon 5 to be quite a bit less compelling viewing. I was trying to figure out why, and I cam to a few conslusions: 1 - the tracks themselves seem a little too mickey mouse for me. When the challenge is more the street furniture than the track itself, it's a bad thing. Also seems to be a lack of variety in the tracks, many mid speed sweeping turns. 2 - the variations in the cars isn't as great as it was on H4. That translates into seeming meta builds and then a solid lack of passing or action. The faster down the straight is very slightly faster, the faster in the turns is very slightly faster, etc. 3 - the number of times players disappear and such... I get the feeling that many of the "regulars" aren't playing this one because it's just such a pain. So it's not as enjoyable, I find myself fast forwarding and skipping along rather than just watching the whole thing.
I like the lower class races. Seems much more realistic than the hyper careening off walls I normally observe in upper class races. A bit of finesses required vice the Clarkson Power!
Crappy choice of car, mate... Do not blame it on bad lack: ninetales was as screwed as you. Never had a chance to fight for a podium. Race was wicked, though
Is there a way to disable the fucking score system popping up ALL THE FCKN TIME? Who came up with this garbage, wtf. Who needs a fucking score in a racing game, ffs
F, why did you do that on the last race, last lap? We are here to see you win and compete not start playing with your phone during a race. If its ringing during a race, let it ring, the race is more important. It isn't the ringing of the phone that pissed me off but you starting to talk about it because i knew that's where you'd lose the 2nd place during the last race. You get so distracted a lot. We have set aside time to watch you race, not talk about a cat or phone ringing during a race. Lock them out and leave them alone. It pisses me of when I'm invested in your race and see you climb up to a high position only to lose it because of something that isn't in the race, like a cat or phone. Its so frustrating. That last race there was no excuses. No muscle car held you up but you still lost to the Purple on which was our rival this race. Please improve on that. Please
He his talking about the race non stop if he has time to fill silence with something other than the race he will. It is hard to do the type of commentary. Not to mention the fact that its his channel and his video he is gonna do what he wants if you don't like it you don't have to write some book about why do don't like it. He doesn't care lol.
I enjoy hearing about the cats tbh, it's cute. The phone ringing was quite annoying though and would have even preferred him to stop racing for a second or two to mute it.
I gotta say it’s really weird not seeing ninetails have some crazy 1000 hp car that is just wheelspinning through every race
That's because unfortunately (or fortunately), they don't really work that well in this game. Minus a few uses. They were always very annoying to race against, with how slow their cornering was lol

Some bad driving from that Bentley Blower.
Yeah, he might have been kindly delivered in to a wall after that.

Alex has become really good at building 4th place cars.
Good old Aussie muscle showing that it can play with the American and British muscle
Can definitely tell this wasn't with the main film crew and was community based more...interesting moves and racecraft

The Toyota is a thing of beauty
Hello and welcome to the show. Today we're playing: Waiting for next race...........................
As a relative newbie to the Forza series, I much prefer grip over power. Especially on the street circuits. 👍
Was that Bentley Blower seriously trying to knock people out of checkpoints in the third race?
It may look very different on their screen don’t forget, but it certainly came across as if that was what they were doing

i now understand why the cars just glitch at the end like that....you're in slow motion but they're in normal speed.
I’ve thought the same thing about the first circuit… it has SO much debris. I hate how the debris just absorbs momentum
9:20 Compared to most other C/D class cars I've always found the Datsun to be meh. Not terrible but not good. It's better in B class, but there are many more much better options at b class too.

Please do that Random car draw Race
Man the city races are absolute trash in this game. There's nothing fun about them. Idk what they were thinking when they designed those tracks
The difference looks like gear usage
You cant block a straight line speed car, but you can block a handling car
