Mascot Party Week 1:

1000030883.webp


We don't know much, other than we're back to Japan theme, and they're introducing the evolving world time attack feature.

Feel free to chime in with anything you know, otherwise we wait for the blog post.

We literally only get 4 new cars..and the dlc's look recycled from what I can see. Disappointing so early in the game to see content being recylcled already, and the dlc pay for play window opened again. I still stand by what I said a few months back before release..this game was nowhere near done, but they gave it to us. I appreciate it, but I would of appreciated it more had they put more effort into the beginning. They had 5 years to build a great game this time. Seems things got in the way.
 
Same restriction for the Trial again but should be Dirt judging by the name so at least the Buggies won't be pointless this time.

Pickups and 4x4's still likely the best though, I don't know if it'll still be the case but the Syclone was a meta A Dirt car in FH5, and it's been moved from Vans + Utility into Pickups + 4x4's in this game.
 
I thought I was being judgemental about the recycling in this game lol. I agree with TGM...the syclone looks to be a great one. I used the mercedes last time, but it wasn't very good on the tighter track.
 
in case nobody checked the official forza.net page, all the road events are circuits, and forzathon is only smashing vending machines.

D400 from the seasonal event should work fine for ≈ 15 playlist points
 
Syclone or the jeep trailcat is a good choice for the trial. The trailcat deals with the bullies on the AI team a bit better. Only thing I didn't like was the syclone in the second race due to the understeer with it. Ran a 3:20 on the second track and a 2:15 on the first with it though. Both times about 5 seconds faster than the trailcat jeep. I ran the trial four times. Ended with 1 or 2 team mates each time. I think people were offset by the aggression of the AI today. They were super feisty.
 
I used the Viper. The voices in my head told me to hit BowieKnife with an RKO outta nowhere. o_o

Jk, I used the Jeep Trailcat. That one's been a solid hand for me in the off-road races.
 
I used the Merc for the trial. With the right tune, it is a beast and faster than anything the AI uses. It is so fast, you can get to the front of the pack quite easily.

Won the second and third race and helped some of my fellow riders get to the front by blocking the AI. BowieKnife included.
Did the same strategy on the first race, but one of my team mates decided to go on a ramming spree which cost us that race. He played nice in the other races though, so we still got away with the win.
