Updated my weekly tune post with some tunes worth using for the new seasonal reward car (Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Wagon) tested by yours truly 👍

Also added another tune for the Weekly Forzathon challenge, and A dirt Mercedes E55 tune can be used for the mainland seasonal PR stunts too

Additional Info:

Seasonal Events - Mainland (Mexico)

Danger Sign (Dirt) - San Juan Jump (115m/377ft) - A 800 (Anything Goes)

Tip: Approach the Danger Sign from the south, 748m/818yd runup. Video guide of my run if you need help with this Danger Sign.

Speed Zone (Dirt) - River Run (95mph/153kmh) - A 800 (Anything Goes)

Tip: Approach the Speed Zone from the south, 1.9km/1.2mi runup. Video guide of my run if you need help with this Speed Zone.

Weekly Forzathon - Wheeler Dealer - Morgan 3 Wheeler

  • Morgan 3 Wheeler (B 700 Dirt) - PTW Subzero - 667 452 025
    • Stock Engine. Use for burnout skills.

Seasonal Events - Rally Adventure

Drift Zone (Road) - Canyon Sweep (95,000 pts) - B 700 (Anything Goes)

Tip: Approach the Drift Zone from the south. Disable Traction/Stability Control Assists for drifting. Video guide of my run if you need help with this Drift Zone.

Seasonal Events - Hot Wheels

Speed Trap (Road) - Forest Edge (280mph/451kmh) - X 999 (Anything Goes)

Tip: Approach the Speed Trap from the north-east, 2.4km/1.5mi runup. Disable Hot Wheels Stunt Steering Assist. Video guide of my run if you need help with this Speed Trap.

NOTES: MAKE SURE TO APPLY TUNES TWICE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CORRECTLY INSTALLED! There is a bug that the tune may not be correctly installed if you only apply them once.

Cars/Tunes listed are tested in rivals for laptimes and against unbeatable drivatars to ensure they are performant, tunes will be from me and some of the top tuners in FH5. I aim to have the fastest/best tunes out there for each car on this list with optimal part selection and tuning settings. Tunes will be no aero/stock rims and size if feasible.

Cars/Tunes that are listed as "M/C" (Manual & Clutch Recommended) can still be used with Automatic or Manual, but they will be faster with clutch.

RWD tunes are not recommended for keyboard users due to not having the required throttle control available.

2nd gear launch can help with high-power RWD cars, tapping/feathering the throttle while braking and revmatching on downshifts can help with FWD braking.
