- Referee Driver Gear – Beat John Hindhaugh
- 50,000 Credits – Set a leaderboard time within top 10%
The average Forza player can earn more than 50,000 credits in under 15 minutes of normal career play.
It seems like there is no significant incentive to push yourself beyond the top 25%, as the only rewards are credits and a driver gear.
I expected at least some kind of car as the top prize, for at least then it may be valuable for its exclusivity.
So will the Z4 M Coupe only be sent to players once June's Bounty Hunter is finished?
I realized the irony of me wanting cars for the top prize when I couldn't come close to Newgarden's time around Road America.Yeah, I thought the same. Then again, maybe it's a response to the folks that are frustrated with exclusive cars being stuck behind very very quick drivers like Newgarden. This seems like an overcorrection though — and no offence to Hindy, but I'm guessing he won't be quite as challenging to beat.

Man, that was frustrating.
Hi,
In my game, it says the second prize is for setting a time in the top 50% of the players not 75%.
That change a great deal for me as I can achieve top 75%, but top 50% is out of reach for now...
Someone can confirm the actual objective?
Thanks

I've raced John on a couple of occasions in Gran Turismo events. If you're at my sort of pace, you'll probably beat him, but not by that much.Mechberg said that he watched Hindhaugh playing FM7 and he said that he's gonna be tough to beat. I don't know if that is just hype, or if there is any truth to that. Take it as you will.
I shouldn't poke fun, but I am almost 15 seconds better. I could probably crash into the tires and still top that. Still, it's much better than "Shmoo Gnu".Well that doesn't sound very tough to beat...
Given that it’s Le Mans, I’d strongly recommend the Maserati MC as I’m currently at a 4:01.151.
Once you’ve gotten used to it’s handling it’s straight line advantage pays dividends. 👍
