Good video on how it should be done. Now let's talk about the general Forza driver : * If there is a wall, don't worry about braking, just use the wall to take a corner * In Street Scene, there are no walls, just use other players as your "wall point", which will help you take turns * Slowing down before a corner you do best by hitting other players * Concentrate on checkpoints and hit other players just before it, which will slow them down or take them off track, which will give you the edge. ** Obviously I am being sarcastic here, but unfortunately my hints are closer to the reality ingame than yours :( **
I played on keyboard and Xbox one controller with assists disabled expect abs. I absolutely beat the crap out of unbeatable ai in every terrians of race. It's take practice and some time to get better with skill. Orrrrrrr you're using bad tunes that affect factor of handling and performance to making you drive like shit.
playing on keyboard is quite manageable, besides being disadvantaged in braking, the immediate steering response is something only keyboard or maybe a controller can achieve, driving with a wheel is way harder. and yea throttle control is more manageable if you get the correct power level settings with a car.
I literally just turned this game off because of ramming. Literally your own teammates taking you out of races. This video should be mandatory to play online haha
Wow I'm sorry I didn't know "ramming" was such a disrespectful thing in this game. Honestly I had my first contact with racing games with the "arcade" ones (?) (AKA NFS Underground, like most people) and I could only beat the game using the "ramming" technic (wich I was very proud of). I find it very funny to be honest, like using the bots to make the curve using no break XD. I'm sorry.
Terrible automatic transmission driver here. I've spent most of my few hundred hours in FH4 driving moronic S1-X class supercars like a cartoon super villain in between futzing around with creating designs. Figured it was time to learn how to drive properly and came across this video. Thanks for the lesson, now it's time to knuckle down and git gud. Cheers m8.
I have been practicing drifting a bunch. I went from only being able to throw the tail end of the car out and lose control but now i can confidently say i know how to manage throttle control much more now. Not only that but i have a better idea and grasp on throttle management. Which in my case means i can drive my car knowing how it will react to my controls. I'm far from perfect and haven't done any street races recently but i think any practice is still good practice. I found that in edinburgh you can drive between powerlines or whatever poles they are to get a very good feel for how your weight transfer handles and at speeds which your car can handle. Also you can step it up by going faster and going between every other pole. But that requires more skill so start slow and easy first
As a Top 50 - 100 rivals driver it can be frustrating finding people to race with, I hope this helps a lot of people so we can all have more fun in the end! Great work Hoki, much respect.

Apparently if you check the telemetry on unbeatable AI in Forza 7, they ouput WAY more horsepower and torque than they should be able to with the cars they use. TL;DR, they are essentially cheating.
Yes, its confirmed that they rubber band badly. The only recourse to beating them is to fight your way to the front immediately because they won't really pass you or hope the course you're racing on has lots of turns because they are awful at corners.
I've thought this the few times I've faced them. I remember once in Forza 7, I did a race in the Hoonicorn against Unbeatable Drivatars and I was only a corner or two ahead of a STOCK Hoonigan Escort. Here's where it gets funny though: I liked using the Renault F1 car for credit grinding long races around Road Atlanta, and the Drivatars' lap times were four or five seconds behind me with identical cars. LOGIC!
I had the profound privilege to attend a racing school many years ago and what I just witnessed with your video on translating good racing techniques to the Forza environment was treat to view. You have an organic way of presenting concepts and their practical application that makes learning from you very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing ... Cheers, Dave (new sub)
You are doing the lord's work. There are zeta bytes of tutorials on Fighters, on Sims, hell on Sports titles. But sincerely knowledgeable tutorials on racing? {EVERYONE like that}
It's always nice to look back at the basic again. Sometimes there's just a thing that you forgot and it causes trouble because you neglected it. This is always be useful for that reason.
it's really fun and you can shift faster than auto or manual w/out clutch if you find the golden spot between your last 500 rpm and the redline and don't release the gas when you shift.
John Smith It doesnt have to do with “getting good”, when youre being hit by two or three cars at once. If all three are squeezing you out, going through a corner, youre going outside the checkpoint. You cant push them all around, you cant warp speed ahead, and sometimes you cant get behind them if there’s already a car blocking you in back.
As someone who got into Forza for the first time by getting 4 on a sale a week ago, your videos are immensely helpful! I'm looking forward to playing the shit out of this game and getting onto 5 once I feel ready.
I seen your tuning video pop up in my recommended yesterday and clicked on it for later use as i really want to get deeper into racing games. Actually watched it today and it got me hooked into the game. Thanks for these videos and im sure many others also appreciate them. Ive always loved racing games but i was always the player flying thru corners at high speed or drifting because it looks cool. While wondering why i get passed. Realizing that smooth is fast has definitely got me more into the game. New sub
Man you're a life saver, I've begun to actually control my car a lot more and I'm finding it way easier to drive the car now. Who knew manual is actually useful in this game lol, I remember when manual was only good when you had a wheel set up. :)
Hey, you've done a fantastic job of commentating and teaching in this video! Very well done, I have to say. There is so much junk out there for people trying to teach something and they either don't know what to say or how to professionally speak it either. You are way above the rest. Cheers to you! Thanks.
One can really tell that you have fun making these videos, it really is very entertaining and interesting listening to you. Thanks for this great video!
I just picked up FH4. Started out the gate with No breaking or steering assist. Traction control and stability control off. Shifting Manual w/ Clutch, using PS4 controller on PC. Love it.
Thank you for the vid, I usually don't play with anyone else because of ramming but it's good to see someone giving a helping hand to those who are willing to learn
Dude. A HUGE thank you. From a new Forza player. I'm playing on the new Forza 5 and I watched your video which greatly improved my driving skills and fun with the game. You really helped me out. Thank you sir! 🤙
Been playing on unbeatable with all assists off for a long time, this is a great tutorial and should help a lot of newer players learn how to run lines.
Thank you Hoshi, this has helped me a lot [ like in real life on my motorcycle riding for a few years and after an accident in order to get my lic. back I had to take a course, they taught us the physics of riding, I'm a far better rider now]. Please do more of these. Your friend in gaming and life, Jim.
This video has greatly improved my driving ability immediately. I thought learning manual would be tough, since I've never used it before, but really it just took a few minutes driving around the map to get use to it. I'm not immediately amazing, but I can tell just following your advice has made a huge difference!
Yeah, manual shifting seemed scary to me at first but now I actually love it and find it way more fun than automatic! I still have no idea what to do with the clutch though, that version confuses me a lot. (edit: I know irl you need to use the clutch every time you shift but the Forza version seems to work differently than I expected and it's super difficult)
This should be a mandatory video to watch for all racing games. All of this is super important if you want to play sim racers like Assetto Corsa or I-Racing.
TL;DR - Thanks! This really helped my racing! Full version: I've never been good at racing games, to the point I usually just avoid them. I tried Horizon 4 on a whim and loved how huge it was, but I still sucked at driving. I had to co-op most championship series' cause if I got 4th or 5th I considered myself lucky. Any corner 90 degrees or sharper I just resigned myself to hitting the wall (or another driver) and it became about trying to plan the hit right to knock someone off course, and myself back on course. Drifting is hopeless for me as I can't control it worth shit, and I just assumed drifting was the secret to the game. Anyway, since watching this video I went from averaging near the top of the bottom 3rd (around 8th in a 12 car race) and occasionally hitting 4th/5th, to pretty consistently managing 4/5 and sometimes getting higher. I obviously still have a lot of work to do, but just these few tips have already made a HUGE difference, since I'm no longer trying to either drift or smash my way through every corner.
Just buy an aftermarket Xbox 360 wired controller for Windows, they aren't that expensive and they are an incredibly necessary purchase for PC gaming as most games are optimised for X360 input
The slow cars thing is definitely good advice. Right from the start, I chose to go with lower class cars so that I can practice proper driving and race craft. Although, I'm going with an B class NSX, it's a lot more grounded than tooling around with some super car. Feels like a normal, everyday car, and I can tune it for each race.
Glad I discovered you before FH5. I just spent $3k on a driving rig and while I've already improved significantly over the last 2 weeks through practice, I'll be studying your videos like a lesson plan going forward. Fantastic work.
Dude, I dont know how to thank you enough with this techniques, With this I was able to defeat pro, before I was like having hard time smashing Highly Skilled. Thanks man!
Rivals is such a good feature. And it feels great to shave off time. Just today I broke into the top 15% of the Fortune Island downhill race in A-class.
Bro your vids are golden. I’ve been playing forza horizon 4 ever since it came out and when I started out I was all over the place and in automatic constantly. Now I can get 1st-3rd in most online lobbies and recently got in the top 1.6 percent of a drift challenge thanks to your great videos, keep it up!
Could also be professional rammers who get 1st every race and doesn’t believe a word in the video. Very good explanation on a somewhat nuanced topic, maybe this will help keep turn 1 a little safer in the future
Idk probably just frustrated people looking for answers in the wrong place. The majority of these videos reference in depth procedures fromnother videos of his. You either get it or you dont and when you dont get it you dislike the video because youre upset. And anyone who thinks thats unreasonable could offer constructive criticism but generally default to: lol git gud
nope its because he said dont drift drift can be good tho in very narrow roads but it has a risk +(how you drift) he needs more attention tho (and more subs)
I've never played a racing game using manual transmission I've always been a automatic type player but for some reason your video got me to try and man the difference is amazing! After a couple hours I was flying through tracks with cars higher than S1 class without ramming the wall over and over again. I wont ever go back to auto after this. Great video!
I started playing FH4 and literally could not figure out how to brake and turn properly on corners. I’m so used to braking into a turn rather than before one in other games that the handling didn’t make sense to me. The fundamentals you go over here are extremely helpful; exactly the video I was looking for.
@@Uncle_Glock Was thinking a bit about acceleration and braking. I struggle with the buttons a bit. I tend to go full on or off which is not most effective. Also gearing is my next thing to learn. Im just using auto and hope to go to shifting soon.
@@dgs127 since you struggle with accel and braking (which uses the triggers), you should practise enough to know how much you have to depress the trigger according to your car. going slow for a start is really helpful, its forgiving because low powered cars dont spin out as often but that doesnt mean you dont control the braking or accel strength of the car. i use the wheel and pedals, and from my exp its all about holding back on your input right at the moment you feel the car is starting to slip, at that point u can still save it and prevent it from oversteering. braking is actually the hardest to master, with sport/race brakes and sport tires/race tires, your braking strength can go up to 92%. accurately hitting this value on the first depress of your trigger will be achieved thru muscle memory! so practise. tl:dr practise on a slow car. for accel, never start on full depress. for braking, aim to depress to 90% of your trigger without needing to find out where that 90% is. im not sure if controller is calibrated the same as pedals, but basically 90% represents the pressure at which your wheels won't lock but you're braking hard.
about ideal lines: also take notice about what comes after the corner. because racing line its not about the shortest route around the track, but the fastest route. for example if its a straight line after a corner, you better get late apex so you will get the longest straight line as possible so you can get longer time on your maximum speed. but of course it will changed if what comes next is changed, also the grip level of track, also lateral G the car can handle picking when & how to turn is driver's ultimate skill
This is a very good video. Simple things that will improve your times . Guaranteed. Very similar to a vid I watched many years ago showing the same useful information and advice. This will improve your times in all games past, present and future.
Took me a while to understand that a more defensive and careful way of braking is a lot more effective than hitting the brake hard in the last second and sliding into the wall every.. single.. time. :D
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme Well actually as you can read in my comment I openly speak up against " ramming into walls " which means that I care about the walls a lot more than you do. Wall Lives Matter.
@@HiddenHunterSeven i Always drive along the walls I don't why but it make the race 10 times slower but it's still better than not paying Achtung to them
Started playing this after seeing Forza youtube videos after playing nfs heat and I keep spinning out but thos video has helped quite a bit chuckled when you said some people just want to go fast as that is me so far.
You sir just got a new subscriber, love the videos, the editing, your easy on the ears and soothing voice makes it a joy to watch compared to the more "extreme " and roydy youtubers (im not naming any just to be a gentleman). This tutorial video helped me and made me want to play more. Keep it up man great stuff😊
How to become a amazing driver in forza : turn off all assist (you dont need them : play with full damage (not online) In real life you're scared of hitting the wall so you go slower dont hit walls in forza you can hit a wall and just drive away it's not scary to hit a wall
Thank u for the tips, really helpful. I use a controller with ABS off and Manual (sometimes Manual with Clutch, especially in Drag race and Drifting). Fun fact, for Steering, I found that simulation steering can help me achieve a Faster lap time and I generally feel more Comfortable and it gives me more Control on the car, especially when i do race on Tarmac. However, in Drifting i have to switch to Normal steering to achieve a higher score. This Steering setup works the best for me. Still looking for an Explanation why this happens on me.
Im abs off normal steering when racing(as I often try to over compensate when I get oversteer) and simulated steering when drifting. Im still getting used to it but ive already gotten into the top 3% in a few drift zones
Sim steering takes out the assisted aspect of normal steering, giving you full control of how you turn. It.. also can cause you to spin out easily if you flick.
OMG you saved me my dude.. I don't know how to drive IRL and I'm having trouble of driving in Forza.. this video helps me a lot.. I almost quit Forza because I keep lost control of the grip
Knowing how to drive isn't that big of an advantage, since usually when you drive you aren't concerned with going as fast as possible. Racing is quite different from ordinary driving.
I respect your attempt to try to improve the forza racing community and online experience
but people will still ram you

Here's where it gets funny though: I liked using the Renault F1 car for credit grinding long races around Road Atlanta, and the Drivatars' lap times were four or five seconds behind me with identical cars. LOGIC!
I wish I'd seen this video sooner, bro had all the answers to all the questions racing through my mind.. You're a GOD
I have just started playing Horizon 4 and I don't often play car games. This video was very helpful, thank you :)

I had the profound privilege to attend a racing school many years ago and what I just witnessed with your video on translating good racing techniques to the Forza environment was treat to view. You have an organic way of presenting concepts and their practical application that makes learning from you very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing ... Cheers, Dave (new sub)
You are doing the lord's work. There are zeta bytes of tutorials on Fighters, on Sims, hell on Sports titles. But sincerely knowledgeable tutorials on racing?

It's always nice to look back at the basic again. Sometimes there's just a thing that you forgot and it causes trouble because you neglected it. This is always be useful for that reason.
Manual with clutch gang 😎😎😎💪🏾💪🏾💯
ya-yeet
Ayyy
it's really fun and you can shift faster than auto or manual w/out clutch if you find the golden spot between your last 500 rpm and the redline and don't release the gas when you shift.
It’s easy
Sheeeiit easy to play
11:52 That scene was brilliant. Thank you for helping us understand how to play this awesome game.
It's sad that despite how good this video and advice is people are still going to ram me out of the way as I hit the apex in a hairpin
Steve get good
John Smith can really get good if you are rammed of the road and miss a checkpoint huh
Crazy geez88 get good mate
@@JohnSmith19282 get good
John Smith
It doesnt have to do with “getting good”, when youre being hit by two or three cars at once.
If all three are squeezing you out, going through a corner, youre going outside the checkpoint.
You cant push them all around, you cant warp speed ahead, and sometimes you cant get behind them if there’s already a car blocking you in back.
As someone who got into Forza for the first time by getting 4 on a sale a week ago, your videos are immensely helpful! I'm looking forward to playing the shit out of this game and getting onto 5 once I feel ready.
people have said 4 is the worst one of the bunch. id get 5 and play that so it doesnt affect the forza experience
Ty hoki for everything.
watching good forza players makes me happy
I seen your tuning video pop up in my recommended yesterday and clicked on it for later use as i really want to get deeper into racing games.
Actually watched it today and it got me hooked into the game. Thanks for these videos and im sure many others also appreciate them.
Ive always loved racing games but i was always the player flying thru corners at high speed or drifting because it looks cool. While wondering why i get passed. Realizing that smooth is fast has definitely got me more into the game.

Man you're a life saver, I've begun to actually control my car a lot more and I'm finding it way easier to drive the car now. Who knew manual is actually useful in this game lol, I remember when manual was only good when you had a wheel set up. :)
I started 3 days ago, and instantly took to dirt/cross country. This helped with how I view circuit racing, and why I struggle with it.
Hey, you've done a fantastic job of commentating and teaching in this video! Very well done, I have to say. There is so much junk out there for people trying to teach something and they either don't know what to say or how to professionally speak it either. You are way above the rest. Cheers to you! Thanks.
One can really tell that you have fun making these videos, it really is very entertaining and interesting listening to you. Thanks for this great video!
I just picked up FH4. Started out the gate with No breaking or steering assist. Traction control and stability control off. Shifting Manual w/ Clutch, using PS4 controller on PC. Love it.
Thank you for the vid, I usually don't play with anyone else because of ramming but it's good to see someone giving a helping hand to those who are willing to learn
Hoki: talks about smooth driving
keyboard players: aight we gonna head out
Im all or nothing baby!!!
The perfect controller is the Xbox search-for-controller button
Dude. A HUGE thank you. From a new Forza player. I'm playing on the new Forza 5 and I watched your video which greatly improved my driving skills and fun with the game. You really helped me out. Thank you sir! 🤙
Been playing on unbeatable with all assists off for a long time, this is a great tutorial and should help a lot of newer players learn how to run lines.
Watching this video again after playing and stop playing fh5 makes me feel so nostalgia about fh4. I think I'll download the fh4 back tomorrow.
Thank you Hoshi, this has helped me a lot [ like in real life on my motorcycle riding for a few years and after an accident in order to get my lic. back I had to take a course, they taught us the physics of riding, I'm a far better rider now]. Please do more of these. Your friend in gaming and life, Jim.
Xbox and Forza first timer here (yeah a noob).
I'm extremely grateful for your videos bro. Just the content I was looking for, but way better.
Thank you so much, this answered SO many questions I had that I was struggling to find decent answers to.
This video has greatly improved my driving ability immediately. I thought learning manual would be tough, since I've never used it before, but really it just took a few minutes driving around the map to get use to it. I'm not immediately amazing, but I can tell just following your advice has made a huge difference!
Yeah, manual shifting seemed scary to me at first but now I actually love it and find it way more fun than automatic! I still have no idea what to do with the clutch though, that version confuses me a lot. (edit: I know irl you need to use the clutch every time you shift but the Forza version seems to work differently than I expected and it's super difficult)
The quality of these videos is always outstanding! Keep it up man.
This should be a mandatory video to watch for all racing games.
All of this is super important if you want to play sim racers like Assetto Corsa or I-Racing.
Y'know, I play Gran Turismo, not Forza, but this is still super informative. Maybe i have to try out Forza Horrizon after all.
Thank you for improving our driving and making whole community better!
Cheers hoki. Another great video. Clearly narrated and well explained.
Rivals was my breakthrough in horizon 3. biggest help to my driving in the game.

Why hello
Could you do a defense/offense rule in racing games? I feel like it could be a very good video for people who don’t understand it! Great video!
TL;DR - Thanks! This really helped my racing!
Full version: I've never been good at racing games, to the point I usually just avoid them. I tried Horizon 4 on a whim and loved how huge it was, but I still sucked at driving. I had to co-op most championship series' cause if I got 4th or 5th I considered myself lucky. Any corner 90 degrees or sharper I just resigned myself to hitting the wall (or another driver) and it became about trying to plan the hit right to knock someone off course, and myself back on course. Drifting is hopeless for me as I can't control it worth shit, and I just assumed drifting was the secret to the game.
Anyway, since watching this video I went from averaging near the top of the bottom 3rd (around 8th in a 12 car race) and occasionally hitting 4th/5th, to pretty consistently managing 4/5 and sometimes getting higher. I obviously still have a lot of work to do, but just these few tips have already made a HUGE difference, since I'm no longer trying to either drift or smash my way through every corner.
'good breaking always starts before turning point' *cries above keyboard as S is full braking and you slide everywhere*
I'm using an 8bitdo controller and the triggers aren't analogue so I have the same problem as you :(
Just buy an aftermarket Xbox 360 wired controller for Windows, they aren't that expensive and they are an incredibly necessary purchase for PC gaming as most games are optimised for X360 input
I never understood how someone could even enjoy a race with a keyboard, seems like it would be very annoying
The slow cars thing is definitely good advice. Right from the start, I chose to go with lower class cars so that I can practice proper driving and race craft. Although, I'm going with an B class NSX, it's a lot more grounded than tooling around with some super car. Feels like a normal, everyday car, and I can tune it for each race.
Me: starts drifting
Cars: passes me
Me: goes to youtube and searched for this
I'm only just getting into these games, and your videos are all still incredibly valuable and relevant. Good on you!
Glad I discovered you before FH5.
I just spent $3k on a driving rig and while I've already improved significantly over the last 2 weeks through practice, I'll be studying your videos like a lesson plan going forward.
Fantastic work.
Dude, I dont know how to thank you enough with this techniques, With this I was able to defeat pro, before I was like having hard time smashing Highly Skilled. Thanks man!
great video, I hope you do post a part 2
Rivals is such a good feature. And it feels great to shave off time. Just today I broke into the top 15% of the Fortune Island downhill race in A-class.
why does this feel like rocket science
Bro your vids are golden. I’ve been playing forza horizon 4 ever since it came out and when I started out I was all over the place and in automatic constantly. Now I can get 1st-3rd in most online lobbies and recently got in the top 1.6 percent of a drift challenge thanks to your great videos, keep it up!
So what do you use manual or automatic?
J - Panio Plays always manual. You have much more control over the car.
@@skimz2012 thanks
Your 1 dislike is from a butthurt troll.
You are amazing, please please keep this up. Your RUclips fam is always thirsty!
I like to think my dislikes are just innocent misclicks 😅
Could also be professional rammers who get 1st every race and doesn’t believe a word in the video. Very good explanation on a somewhat nuanced topic, maybe this will help keep turn 1 a little safer in the future
Idk probably just frustrated people looking for answers in the wrong place. The majority of these videos reference in depth procedures fromnother videos of his. You either get it or you dont and when you dont get it you dislike the video because youre upset. And anyone who thinks thats unreasonable could offer constructive criticism but generally default to: lol git gud
Plus theres the manual with clutch gang apparently
nope its because he said dont drift
drift can be good tho in very narrow roads but it has a risk +(how you drift)
he needs more attention tho (and more subs)
THANK YOU. I've been looking for a video that explained exactly this. thank you for taking the time to explain it well. Cheers
"Dont drift"
Me who always drifts: *pain*
Rain without the \
S ame
Coming from Mario Kart to Forza, learning to not just floor it and drift everywhere is proving difficult
I'd rather hit a drippy drift than study the geometry of a turn in relation to the moon or whatever you were talking about
I've never played a racing game using manual transmission I've always been a automatic type player but for some reason your video got me to try and man the difference is amazing! After a couple hours I was flying through tracks with cars higher than S1 class without ramming the wall over and over again. I wont ever go back to auto after this. Great video!
I've played from horizon 1 but im still watching this and i don't know why
I went from gran turismo to forza and the shift in other players driving skill is crazy, yall need more of these videos 😂😂
I still suck but after watching your videos, I suck way less. Thank you!
BA HET hope you continue to improve man!
I started playing FH4 and literally could not figure out how to brake and turn properly on corners. I’m so used to braking into a turn rather than before one in other games that the handling didn’t make sense to me. The fundamentals you go over here are extremely helpful; exactly the video I was looking for.
Old man noob here and I really appreciate the tips. If you go in depth more can you explain the controller actions in just a bit more detail.
which actions?
@@Uncle_Glock Was thinking a bit about acceleration and braking. I struggle with the buttons a bit. I tend to go full on or off which is not most effective. Also gearing is my next thing to learn. Im just using auto and hope to go to shifting soon.
@@dgs127 are u using controller or keyboard?
@@Uncle_Glock controller
@@dgs127 since you struggle with accel and braking (which uses the triggers), you should practise enough to know how much you have to depress the trigger according to your car. going slow for a start is really helpful, its forgiving because low powered cars dont spin out as often but that doesnt mean you dont control the braking or accel strength of the car.
i use the wheel and pedals, and from my exp its all about holding back on your input right at the moment you feel the car is starting to slip, at that point u can still save it and prevent it from oversteering.
braking is actually the hardest to master, with sport/race brakes and sport tires/race tires, your braking strength can go up to 92%. accurately hitting this value on the first depress of your trigger will be achieved thru muscle memory! so practise.
tl:dr practise on a slow car. for accel, never start on full depress.
for braking, aim to depress to 90% of your trigger without needing to find out where that 90% is.
im not sure if controller is calibrated the same as pedals, but basically 90% represents the pressure at which your wheels won't lock but you're braking hard.
about ideal lines: also take notice about what comes after the corner.
because racing line its not about the shortest route around the track, but the fastest route.
for example if its a straight line after a corner, you better get late apex so you will get the longest straight line as possible so you can get longer time on your maximum speed.
but of course it will changed if what comes next is changed, also the grip level of track, also lateral G the car can handle
picking when & how to turn is driver's ultimate skill
This is a very good video. Simple things that will improve your times . Guaranteed.
Very similar to a vid I watched many years ago showing the same useful information and advice.
This will improve your times in all games past, present and future.
Thank you!! I’m a not-so-good Forza driver and I’m really looking forward to trying your techniques
You deserve more views dude!
Took me a while to understand that a more defensive and careful way of braking is a lot more effective than hitting the brake hard in the last second and sliding into the wall every.. single.. time. :D
Wall shaming here
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme Well actually as you can read in my comment I openly speak up against " ramming into walls " which means that I care about the walls a lot more than you do. Wall Lives Matter.
@@HiddenHunterSeven i Always drive along the walls
I don't why but it make the race 10 times slower but it's still better than not paying Achtung to them
“And finally, don’t drift. You want to be using as much grip as possible through a corner but not exceeding it”
Ken block: hold my beer
Drift = gz with last place in race.
🤣
He only wins because he doesn’t race anyone
That's why he was always in the last positions when he tried WRC; all the best rally drivers are very smooth.
I can see an exception when driving some cars in dirt tracks :P
Started playing this after seeing Forza youtube videos after playing nfs heat and I keep spinning out but thos video has helped quite a bit chuckled when you said some people just want to go fast as that is me so far.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAKE PART 2
Thanks for making this! I've been looking to get better at racing since I've recently gotten a wheel and pedals.
My tip is don’t go to far in and hit that curb
This is why I love this game, the blend of SIM and Arcade racer is perfect
fun and challenging at the same time 😀
omg I was just in a ranked drift adventure with you yesterday and I had no idea you were a youtuber
You sir just got a new subscriber, love the videos, the editing, your easy on the ears and soothing voice makes it a joy to watch compared to the more "extreme " and roydy youtubers (im not naming any just to be a gentleman).
This tutorial video helped me and made me want to play more. Keep it up man great stuff😊
Ar12 his ass always yelling bout sum
How to become a amazing driver in forza
: turn off all assist (you dont need them
: play with full damage (not online)
In real life you're scared of hitting the wall so you go slower dont hit walls in forza you can hit a wall and just drive away it's not scary to hit a wall
This should just be a tutorial video in-game. This was amazing!
love your videos they have all been helpful :)
Love this, i'd recommend this to anyone that wants to get into racing! Amazing job mate
Thank u for the tips, really helpful. I use a controller with ABS off and Manual (sometimes Manual with Clutch, especially in Drag race and Drifting). Fun fact, for Steering, I found that simulation steering can help me achieve a Faster lap time and I generally feel more Comfortable and it gives me more Control on the car, especially when i do race on Tarmac. However, in Drifting i have to switch to Normal steering to achieve a higher score. This Steering setup works the best for me. Still looking for an Explanation why this happens on me.
Im abs off normal steering when racing(as I often try to over compensate when I get oversteer) and simulated steering when drifting. Im still getting used to it but ive already gotten into the top 3% in a few drift zones
Sim steering takes out the assisted aspect of normal steering, giving you full control of how you turn. It.. also can cause you to spin out easily if you flick.
OMG you saved me my dude.. I don't know how to drive IRL and I'm having trouble of driving in Forza.. this video helps me a lot.. I almost quit Forza because I keep lost control of the grip
Knowing how to drive isn't that big of an advantage, since usually when you drive you aren't concerned with going as fast as possible. Racing is quite different from ordinary driving.
