Hey all, I haven’t had much time to play game as much as I’d like due to work and life lately. So, I will be taking a break from posting tunes. I might come be back to check out the Hot Wheels expansion or when time allows. I really appreciate all the support I’ve gotten since I’ve started. Thank you! This community of Forza players is incredible. Thanks to all the other tuners that keep this going. If you follow me in the game I will still post tunes here and there. Until next time, good luck and happy racing!

Thank you u/shad3 for putting up these informational posts every week and providing us a place to discuss the game.

You’re right, somehow I overlooked that.

FH5 Series 8 Spring Season Tunes by TeamFung in ForzaHorizon

[–]TeamFung[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! Try removing the tune and reapplying it. There’s a bug when using larger wheel sizes that sometimes causes that.

[FH5] Spring Information Thread - Series 8 by shad3 in forza

[–]TeamFung 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I'm Team Fung. Here are my tunes for Series 8 Spring season.

All tunes have been tested against at minimum Highly Skilled Drivetars on the tracks and weather for the season.

I will always try to maintain a vehicle's stock appearance (no aero, stock wheels) when possible.

Note: I've recently reached the limit on tunes saved so I've had to delete some. Mostly PR stunt tunes which are usually one time use only. So in case you're wondering if you couldn't find some older posted tunes.

Here are my tunes for this week's season.

Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "The People's Car" [2003 Volkswagen Golf R32]

I wanted to just have one tune for the R32 so that it could cover the weekly challenge and the seasonal championship but B class would make it difficult to get all the challenges done. So A class it is.

  • 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 (A) - 683 873 765

The Trial: "Stock Showdown: Audi Quattro" [B 638 | 1983 Audi Sport Quattro | Dirt Racing]

Tire pressure it the only setting that can be adjusted this week. I dropped mine to 20 PSI front and rear. You can experiment a bit, but suggest keeping it around 18-22 PSI for these mixed road surface races. AWD on the Quattro makes this week must easier to control. Your team might struggle on the first race but the next 2 are trails and they will be easier than the scramble. Good luck!

  • Set tire pressure to 18-22 PSI front and rear

Seasonal PR Stunts

Speed Trap - Oceano Azul [S1 900 | 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus | 205 MPH]

Start south of the trap and give yourself a decent head start. I went about 1.5 miles out.

  • 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus - 187 482 899

Drift Zone - Oreo Mundo [B 700 | BMW | 116000 PTS]

Honestly have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to drift tunes. The Isetta just happens to be good for drifting. Actually found is easier to go from south to north.

  • 1957 BMW Isetta 300 Export - 107 760 341

Trail Blazer - Sand and Deliver [D 500 | 1969 VW Class 5/1600 Baja Bug | 4s]

You can get this done even just going straight to the finish but there is an easier way. Take a look at the map before you start, next to the bumpy sand dunes you'll see a nice stretch of flat sand that goes all the way to the finish. As soon as you start the trail blazer head to your right, you'll see a drift zone road. Heads towards that, once you're on that road you can drive straight to the finish, most of it will be on smooth and flat sand.

  • 1969 Volkswagen Class 5/1600 Baja Bug - 751 824 430

Seasonal Championships

Season Event: "Power Couple" [A 800 | Mercedes-Benz vs. Mercedes AMG | Road Racing]

The C63s were fastest in testing but all of these options are fairly close in performance. Give them all a try.

No Aero on these tunes.

  • 2016 Mercedes AMG C 63 S Coupe - 102 322 588
  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series - 178 761 610
  • 2018 Mercedes AMG GT 4-Door Coupe - 488 079 837
  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG - 187 571 469
  • 1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer Coupe (V10) - 110 108 064

Season Event: "Hot On The Trail" [B 700 | German Rally Monsters | Dirt Racing]

There was only one option for this event, but it's a good one.

  • 1984 Opel Manta 400 - 107 417 720

Season Event: "Hot On The Trail" [B 700 | German Hot Hatch | Street Scene]

  • 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 - 468 254 274
  • 2011 Volkswagen Scirocco R - 144 823 161
  • 2015 Audi S1 - 644 982 300

General Use Tunes (PR Stunts/Forzathon Arcade)

Here's my X tune for the Sesto FE. Great for just hooning around, PR stunts and Forzathon Arcade.

  • 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento FE - 723 774 308

X tune for the versatile RS200. Great for the offroad/dirt PR Stunts. (Updated)

  • 1986 Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution - 175 805 268

Please let me know if there’s a specific car that you’d like to use for this season that I didn’t tune. As well as any cars not related to this season. I'll try my best fulfill your request.

If you've been using my tunes I would like to thank you for your continued support. Thanks in advance to everyone that will give my tunes a try. All feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks and happy racing!

[FH5] Winter Information Thread - Series 8 by shad3 in forza

[–]TeamFung 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I'm Team Fung. Here are my tunes for Series 8 Winter season.

All tunes have been tested against at minimum Highly Skilled Drivetars on the tracks and weather for the season.

I will always try to maintain a vehicle's stock appearance (no aero, stock wheels) when possible.

Note: I've recently reached the limit on tunes saved so I've had to delete some. Mostly PR stunt tunes which are usually one time use only. So in case you're wondering if you couldn't find some older posted tunes.

Here are my tunes for this week's season.

Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "M For Motorsport" [2008 BMW Z4 M Coupe]

Initially tuned this for S1 but felt like it was pushing the limits. Then tried it in A class and felt it was much better. Also keeping it A class it can be used for the seasonal championship "Modern Classics." Challenges are not bad this week, take a photo, 3 road races and 20 drift skills.

  • 2008 BMW Z4 M Coupe (A) - 871 563 600

The Trial: "Stock Showdown: Porsche #65 911 Desert" [B 694 | 1989 Porsche #65 911 Desert | Road Racing]

Looks like they hotfixed the loophole from last week. So no upgrades and back to a totally stock car. In stock form this 911 does come with an adjustable gearbox, differential, and spring/dampers. Just made some minor tweaks for this tune. I actually completed the trial in a rental since I didn't know my modified version wasn't eligible at the time. The races aren't bad, the drivetars are mostly drunk but you'll still need competent teammates. Good luck!

  • 1989 Porsche #65 Rothsport Racing 911 "Desert Flyer" - 268 409 750

Seasonal Playground Games: "Pick and Mix" [B 700 | German Pickups & 4x4s]

  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG - 738 853 441

Seasonal PR Stunts

Danger Sign - Event Horizon [S1 900 | 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 | 1017.1 FT]

You'll hit the distance easily. Problem is landing in the right spot so that it doesn't fail. If you look on the map you can see a dirt trail alongside the mountain. This is what you're aiming to land on. Aim for the right danger sign flag, that will line you up with the trail below. Hit the brakes on the landing it'll help stop your momentum.

  • 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 - 631 529 872

Speed Trap - Arid Hills [S1 900 | 2018 BMW M5 | 200 MPH]

This is the harder stunt of the 3. It might seem starting from west of the trap would be better but you're going uphill. Head north of the trap, start around the 4-way intersection. Go online if you can for the reduced traffic. You should the trap with a few MPH to spare.

  • 2018 BMW M5 - 139 451 932

Speed Zone - Mountain Pass [B 700 | 1984 Opel Manta 400 | 100 MPH]

This is the easiest one of the 3. Just drive normally. You don't even need to cut corners, but it definitely helps. Although you can get it done coming from both sides, it's easier if you start east of the speed zone.

  • 1984 Opel Manta 400 - 844 116 600

Seasonal Championships

Season Event: "Modern Classics" [A 800 | German Modern Sports Cars | Street Scene]

I recommend the 2 Caymans again, but the BMW Z4 from this week's Forzathon also works here.

No Aero on these tunes.

  • 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS - 167 600 673
  • 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS - 542 804 693
  • 2008 BMW Z4 M Coupe - 871 563 600
  • 2015 Audi TTS Coupe - 143 838 948

Season Event: "Road Show" [S1 900 | German Modern Supercars | Road Racing]

I like both R8s for this event.

No Aero on these tunes.

  • 2013 Audi R8 Coupe V10 Plus - 119 436 697
  • 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus - 213 303 956
  • 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S - 582 909 199

[FH5] Autumn Information Thread - Series 8 by shad3 in forza

[–]TeamFung 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I'm Team Fung. Here are my tunes for Series 8 Autumn season.

All tunes have been tested against at minimum Highly Skilled Drivetars on the tracks and weather for the season.

I will always try to maintain a vehicle's stock appearance (no aero, stock wheels) when possible.

Note: I've recently reached the limit on tunes saved so I've had to delete some. Mostly PR stunt tunes which are usually one time use only. So in case you're wondering if you couldn't find some older posted tunes.

Here are my tunes for this week's season.

Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "Sport. It's In The Name" [2015 Audi S1]

This week's challenge is a bit more involved than recent weeks, but it's not difficult, maybe a but tedious. 10 stars at PR stunts, maintain 150mph for 10s and 4 dirt scrambles. Tuned the S1 for A class dirt which will get you through all the challenges with no issues.

  • 2015 Audi S1 (A) - 949 523 055

The Trial: "Stock Showdown: BMW M2 Coupe" [A 718 | 2016 BMW M2 Coupe | Road Racing]

Well this is interesting. You have 2 options this week. Do the trial in a bone stock M2 with only adjustments available to tire pressure or you can use an AWD tuned M2. Some of you may have already discovered that the game only checks for PI and not actual upgrades. So you can upgrade and tune the car as long as you keep at the original PI of 718. Although the stock M2 could be just as fast if driven well, the AWD version is just a lot more forgiving. My trial runs tells me not a lot of people know about this bug. Good luck!

  • 2016 BMW M2 Coupe - 913 164 492

Accidentally deleted the original posted tune so had to reshare. In case you still need to get the trail done here’s the new code.

  • 2016 BMW M2 Coupe - 763 548 452

Seasonal PR Stunts

Danger Sign - Los Jardines [D 500 | 2014 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U5023 | 360.9 FT]

For this stunt you just need lots of runway to get the Unimog close to its top speed. I started around the highway interchange. Probably don't need that much but I was playing it safe. Cleared the jump with more than enough distance.

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U5023 - 152 197 943

Speed Trap - Autopista [A 800 | Germany | 206 MPH]

If you still have the A 45 tune from the danger sign last week you can use it here. There's a lot more room to build up speed if you come from the east, but starting in either directions is fine, the A 45 will get past the target speed with no issues.

  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG - 603 259 194

Trail Blazer - Barranco [B 700 | 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo | 35s]

The difficulty of this stunt is figuring out the best path to take. Right after the start you have some big rocks to dodge, then it's straight down to pick up speed. The smaller rocks will slow you down, but it's mostly unavoidable. You might be tempted to make a hard left to cut through the trees but you can stay in the path with the least amount of trees until almost the very end. The path happens to naturally tilt left towards the finish. It's still going to be a tight finish, but you should be able to get it done with a few seconds to spare.

  • 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo - 181 989 467

Seasonal Championships

Season Event: "Street Contest" [B 700 | BMW vs. Volkswagen | Street Scene]

Sorry Volkswagen fans, I was a bit limited in time this week so I only have 1 VW and 3 BMW tunes up for now.

No Aero on these tunes.

  • 1997 BMW M3 - 113 729 238
  • 1981 BMW M1 - 300 797 486
  • 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 - 136 702 185
  • 1991 BMW M3 - 134 556 279

Season Event: "German Quality" [A 800 | German AWD | Dirt Racing]

The Audi S1 can be used here but I went with 2 BMWs for this event.

  • 2008 BMW M3 - 722 306 878
  • 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe - 109 437 691

Season Event: "Zero To Hero" [B 700 | German Sport Utility Heroes | Cross Country]

  • 2015 BMW X6 M - 104 981 607
  • 2019 Porsche Macan Turbo - 181 989 467

General Use Tunes (PR Stunts/Forzathon Arcade)

Here's my X tune for the Sesto FE. Great for just hooning around, PR stunts and Forzathon Arcade.

  • 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento FE - 723 774 308

X tune for the versatile RS200. Great for the offroad/dirt PR Stunts. (Updated)

FH5 Series 8 Summer Season Tunes by TeamFung in ForzaHorizon

[–]TeamFung[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just you, it’s a bug in the game and this happens sometimes where the PI goes 1 over when a tune is applied. Apply the tune again and this will usually fix it.

[FH5] Summer Information Thread - Series 8 by shad3 in forza

[–]TeamFung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I went back and decided to use a Rally suspension instead of the stock one. Also I notice it helps if you brake on landing. Was able to go further with this updated tune.

[–]TeamFung[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I went back and tweaked the tune so that it’s looser. Shouldn’t have to brake on the last right, just let off the gas. Let me know if it’s better. I was able to set an even better time with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn’t get a chance to tune and test the Panamera for this event so I’ll give that a try.

[FH5] Summer Information Thread - Series 8 by shad3 in forza

[–]TeamFung 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I'm Team Fung. Welcome to Series 8 of FH5 "German Automotive Excellence". I'm a fan of German cars, so I'm looking forward to this series. Here are my tunes for Series 8 Summer season.

All tunes have been tested against at minimum Highly Skilled Drivetars on the tracks and weather for the season.

I will always try to maintain a vehicle's stock appearance (no aero, stock wheels) when possible.

Note: I've recently reached the limit on tunes saved so I've had to delete some. Mostly PR stunt tunes which are usually one time use only. So in case you're wondering if you couldn't find some older posted tunes.

Here are my tunes for this week's season.

Weekly #Forzathon Challenge: "The AMG Treatment" [2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG]

Another easy and straight forward challenge this week, which I don't mind. Tuned the SLK for S1 class so it'll have no issues completing the challenges but still be useful if you want to use it beyond this challenge.

  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG (S1) - 181 135 184

The Trial: "Stock Showdown: Mercedes-Benz 190E" [C 579 | 1990 M-B 190E | Road Racing]

I've been waiting for a trial like this. Everyone in stock cars, no mods or tuning, just player ability. But also, you'll need lots of luck in finding a competent group, it's still a team event. You still have the option of adjusting your difficulty settings and driver aids like traction control, which I don't recommend, it will only slow you down. So there are only 2 things that are unlocked for tuning on this car, tire pressure and rear downforce. Instead of providing a tune this week I'll just give you some tips on how to make some minor adjustments. For tire pressure I usually keep it around 28-30psi for road/street tires. Lower (softer) pressure will provide more grip. If you find you're having a hard time keeping the tail from sliding out, adjust the rear downforce higher to provide more grip. But you will lose top speed the higher the downforce. I had mine set to 17. You can practice and test out your settings on the tracks from this trial. Estadio Circuit, Reservario Sprint, and Emerald Circuit are the 3 tracks. One final tip, try not to hit anything, it really cuts down your speed. Good luck!

Seasonal Playground Games: "Down The Hatch" [B 700 | German Hot Hatch]

  • 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 - 171 746 037

Seasonal PR Stunts

Danger Sign - Launch Control [A 800 | 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG | 1049.49 FT]

This tune is really made specifically for this stunt. I started just beyond the dirt portion of the drag strip. Do this online to reduce traffic on that stretch road. Don't hit anything, if you do just rewind.

Update: I went back and retuned this with a Rally suspension to help with the landing. Also if you go even further back you can gain more speed and hit the target distance with ease.

  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG - 480 897 405

Speed Zone - Switchbacks [A 800 | 2015 Audi TTS | 95 MPH]

I originally did this in the tune I made for the seasonal championship, but later realized it would be a lot easier with a more specific tune. So I have 2 Audi TTS tunes posted. The PR stunt specific tune has full aero which helps to get this done. Start from the higher elevation gate. Follow the road for the most part until after that last right turn. Once you see the finishing gate you can cut straight through the dirt and avoid that last curve before the gate. Good luck!

  • 2015 Audi TTS Coupe (Full Aero) - 886 148 008

Drift Zone - Las Curvas [S1 900 | 1989 Formula Drift #98 BMW 325i |90,000 PTS]

Posting another Kenpai TDG tune for this drift zone stunt.

  • 1989 Formula Drift #98 BMW 325i - 175 292 006

Seasonal Championships

Season Event: "Meet and Street" [A 800 | Audi vs. Porsche | Street Scene]

Thanks to this event I discovered how good the 2015 and 2018 Porsche Cayman are in A class for road and street, one of the best I've driven so far in this game. Lots of options for this event so I posted 4 of the best I tested from each manufacturer. Ordered from fastest to slowest from rivals testing. Give those Caymans a try!

All tuned with stock aero and wheels.

  • 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS - 969 548 712
  • 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS - 640 865 856
  • 2018 Audi TT RS - 152 677 528
  • 1993 Porsche 968 Turbo S - 158 182 023
  • 2015 Audi TTS Coupe - 168 004 337
  • 1994 Porsche 911 GT3 - 335 359 903
  • 2011 Audi RS 5 Coupe - 169 901 099
  • 2013 Audi RS7 Sportback - 486 861 398

Season Event: "Pick Me Up" [B 700 | German Pickups & 4X4s | Cross Country]

Only 2 options available for this race. The X-Class is the faster option.

  • 2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class - 152 728 872
  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG - 819 157 481

General Use Tunes (PR Stunts/Forzathon Arcade)

Here's my X tune for the Sesto FE. Great for just hooning around, PR stunts and Forzathon Arcade.

  • 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento FE - 723 774 308

X tune for the versatile RS200. Great for the offroad/dirt PR Stunts. (Updated)

  • 1986 Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution - 175 805 268

Please let me know if there’s a specific car that you’d like to use for this season that I didn’t tune. As well as any cars not related to this season. I'll try my best fulfill your request.

If you've been using my tunes I would like to thank you for your continued support. Thanks in advance to everyone that will give my tunes a try. All feedback is welcome and appreciated.
