MP horns are one of the the great joys of the game. Had a nice drive around the hills in an old Pontiac and this motherfucker zooms up to me from behind in a supercar blaring what sounds like a full wedding party falling into a swimming pool filled with taiko drums and he just drives next to me for a few minutes blaring the horn. Scared the living poo poo out of me, I love it.

If you're gonna mute the radio and listen to your own stuff, make sure you're on the classical station. It gives you a near 7 minute skill song vs the other stations 2-3 minuters.

What car and strategy is yielding the most skillpoints right now?

While my old friend the Hoonigan RS200 feels nerfed a bit from how it was in FH4 at max tune, it's still really good. 500K in the Autoshow with an option for a 7x regular skill multiplier.

Dirt drift zones are easier now that the dirt drift zones resemble the actual roads themselves. In FH4, dirt drift zones were tricky because what you thought was the road didn't count because of how narrow the road where you could score points was.

Here's my strategy:

full mastery, max power. AWD CLK GTR FE for 7x multiplier
orchard right beside the highway north of the highway speed trap
hold the throttle at max with an elastic
steer back and forth slowly doing 1000 point drifts while smashing trees and occasionally doing jumps
do other poo poo on my computer with my right hand while doing that with my left hand, only paying attention when i hear the first impact noise

The only thing to hit there is a very noticeable white house. and smashing the trees and getting drifts makes many points fast and i can look at memes while doing it.

Holy poo poo, there's an A class tune for the 100,000 dollar truck option for doing the forzathon daily that rips, it's the very first one that comes up. It's ridiculously good for trailblazers, I was clearing 3 stars with double digit seconds to spare.

crank up the contrast on your TV/monitor, invert if possible. take a screenshot of your map and i'll see if i can gently caress with the colors in GIMP to spot something.

Funny bug story:

I got 38/38 points this season
then it said it couldn't connect to the server and was reverting something blah blah blah and gave me 7 new daily quests and dropped me to 28/38 points
i did a couple, now the old ones are back, i have 39/38 points, and another daily quest to do.

While I haven't been following the min/max scene too closely, I've been happy with the following:
-Llanuras road race (center of the map, by the big east/west highway) -> EventLab -> 1 Million Run
-Lamborghini Sesto Elemental FE with all skills purchased (renewing the 10 race ones as needed)
-Song's X/999 tune (277 mph top speed, amazing acceleration and downforce)
-Max/near max difficulty (the race is easy with this car, can Netflix thru most of it)

An ~18m race nets 100-200k credits, a ton of XP, several Wheelspins, and something like 50 skill points. A few cars (e.g. Jesko) can finish faster, and other cars (e.g. 50s Corvette FE) might generate more XP/skill points per race, but the Sesto FE hits a good balance between everything.

I just had a horrible realization about how hosed my brain as I thought: man it'd be nice if FH came with a paper map and you had to color in the roads yourself and the game didn't do it for you, but there was still an achievement for driving on every road.

in addition to what others said: you can still do afk auto-steer + auto-brake 50 Goliath laps; take a x999 with tons of handling and downforce (two tricky hairpins for the AI), you should get over 300 skillpoints and 50 spins overnight/while at work

No.

It was once thought you got them back after gifting/deleting, but that was just some weird server bug randomly refunding people once.

The forza amg clk, with the speed stat, on the highway, radio on, make sure to bank at 500k.

There are some races that take advantage of this with event lab runs.
Laguna Sprint? Or something? The green one midmap on the highway.

I ran this with the Jesko too but the amg makes you way more money.

How do you get that car? I'm not seeing that in the auto show. I see the AMG CLK but not a Forza edition one.

Forza Edition cars can be gotten through wheelspins or bought in an auction. If you want to find out how to get a specific car you can find it in the "car collection" screen and press "a" to see where it is available.

You might be able to create a custom route that's in the area and select weather conditions that way, I took my photo in freeroam tho so I don't know for sure.

The starting location for the story missions tends to change with each new chapter. You have to go find it on the map and it will let you select which chapter to play when you start it.
