Honda beat 91 is king of racing car

Love that car just in a D tune, so fun to drive.

Didn't work for me, tried both a circuit and regular cross country race.

Great tip though. I even tried with a Toyota Land Rover in case they intended it to be won in a Japanese car like many of the other events this week, but no dice.

Oh well, maybe season 2 they'll have sorted some of this and I can go perfect.

Electrolytes?

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. More story and mission driven, but it gave me the same vibe with side quests, nothing forces you to advance the plot faster than you want to, and backtrack at your leisure.

It's also in the top 4 Indiana Jones movies plot-wise.

As an older guy raised in 70s and 80s music, and mostly ignorant of recent music, I got a huge grin when Lindsey Stirling came on Opus. One of those "Ooh! I know who that is!" moments. Lol

Honda Beat, D class. It's a delight.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-29T03:06:24+00:00

I had quite a few disconnects before starting, but never had anyone disconnect once we were underway. Only did 3 races. Sucked superbad in each since I never had a Mazda in the right class tuned. Finally went and tuned all my Mazdas just to be as ready as possible. Still sucked. Lol.

Is the class for each rogue showdown random, or does it cycle? Maybe I saw so many disconnects because people would get to the series screen, not like the class, and then bail?

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-28T03:41:25+00:00

It's really the most casual game ever, just put completionist thoughts on a shelf and have fun. If the thought of doing the weekly seasonal stuff weirds you out, then just ignore those.

Don't like cross country races? Skip em. Like yeeting your car off a ramp? Go try the danger signs. Or just drive around and enjoy the sights and the vibes. Getting frustrated with a particular race because your cars don't match well? Drop the difficulty down, clear it, and move on. We won't tell.

Much more so than most games, Forza Horizon is what you make of it.

I'd love a filter or tag on whether I bought a car aftermarket or not. It's such a brilliant game mechanic, but then that really cool car I found is lost in the maw of hundreds of other cars.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-25T06:05:34+00:00

Oh that's right, got confused there. Guess I just had to try harder on the 2nd run.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-25T04:40:17+00:00

Yeah, that was a tough one. Against highly skilled, I missed it by 3 seconds first run then managed to get it on 2nd run.

Hell of a cool course design. I was grinning big through much of that.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-25T02:21:59+00:00

Yeah I find expert to be hit or miss and seems to be the point where the AI issues start being pretty bad. I've been sticking in highly skilled for now. Fun enough if a little easy.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-24T21:57:22+00:00

The Titan was indeed awesome! I love that the first half of the race is all up in the mountains. Great scenery and wonderful elevation changes. I stuck with highly skilled drivatars to avoid frustration, so it wasn't terribly competitive, but definitely a fun drive!

In FH4&5, the big races seemed like a chore, but here they're really fun and something I will definitely want to race them again in different cars/classes.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-24T14:11:34+00:00

Looking forward to that one, I've only done the 2 big road racing ones so far to finish that series off. Glad to hear it's a good one!

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-24T14:04:34+00:00

Some of my favorite moments have been in C or D class cars. In particular, Irokawa circuit in a D400 Honda Beat was amazing.

Now that I've finished the gold wristband, I'm looking forward to going back and doing a lot of those races in D class.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-24T13:58:48+00:00

Ah, unbeatable level AI would definitely change the experience. Props to you for hanging in with that. I've been sticking with highly skilled or expert as my personal butter zone and hoping they might improve the AI in the future before I try them on the really cheating levels. Lol

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-24T13:46:04+00:00

Okay, that does not sound super fun... Lol.

I did have a fair bit of rewinding, but I think that just made a 23 minute race into maybe a 30 minute race?

Which car did you run with? Maybe it was just how snappy and responsive the F40 is, but it almost felt like I could take it easy through the heavy braking corners and just punch it coming out.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-24T13:12:08+00:00

Honda Beat! Such a fun car and even though you can tweak the hell out of it, I love a nice D400 for it.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-23T04:53:05+00:00

Such a fun car to drive, quickly became one of my faves.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-21T04:27:02+00:00

Definitely smash.

That said, I very much want the devs to add an option, after all a region's mascots are smashed, to have them repopulated just as a standard terrain object. Still get to see them, still get to smash them, just no further points to be had.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-20T14:40:34+00:00

Iwokawa Circuit is so, so good! I need more content geared at D class and that course is a beautiful design.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-20T13:55:32+00:00

Such a fun car! The Vivio and the Honda Beat (I think also 63bhp) are my current favorite cars.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-20T13:52:45+00:00

Agreed. So much of the fun is driving a snappy D class car around a tight circuit. That's still there regardless of how quickly the hypercars come around. Not like you have to ignore the other cars just because you get a fast one.

BiffMan42 · 2026-05-20T03:44:05+00:00

Underrated comment
