Forza Horizon 5 Drifting Challenge
What is the best car for drifting in Forza Horizon 5?
Hello and welcome! My FH5 game tag is Nontico!
When you are at certain age, your younger son is playing FH5 in his room, and your older one does not have a clue how Zenvo looks like (but he’s good at other things-trust me), you are getting to the point in which competition and winning does not really matter – it is all for fun. Proper one!
It is time to challenge yourself and the rest of the world. And by the way you can check, if forty-odd years old guy can be an influencer and change few things in Forza Horizon World…
Let’s see…
So, what's the challenge?
My son loves FH5, and I love it too. I even bought FH4 and was playing it after completing certain project, but when No. 5 came out, I had to have it! And I even had it before my younger son… Ha… Ha… Ha…
Watching his gameplay, especially drifting (in which I was crap), I’ve came up with an idea… What if I will use the most unusual car for drifting (in my humble opinion) and try to rule the Forza Horizon 5 Drifting World? Hmmm… 47 years old Forza Horizon 5 Drift-King. Sounds like a proper joke… Fairytale… Alice in Woderland… Prime Minister telling the truth… But I was keen to see the outcome… Just for fun!
It was 2.04.2022
After hard practicing and beating my son’s all Drift Zones records, I’ve started my research by drifting most common drift cars in FH5 looking for the pattern…
Pattern was… Try to guess! Japanese and German RWD cars… OK… Let’s try FWD then! But nasty gamers were already drifting in Golfs, Corollas, Civics and other cars fitting the usual pattern (Japan and Germany). Of course, there are fantastic players in American cars, but literally none of them was driving French car… Well, almost… I’ve seen Alpine A110 drifting once… But NONE was driving Renault. Driven by slightly personal reasons (my father drives Renaults for many years), I’ve chosen 1993 Renault Clio Williams for my challenge… That’s how it started…
Forza Horizon 5 best Drift Setup
It was a mission to find usable A and S1 setup! At some point I was close to giving up! But then miracle happened and I found 2 proper tunes for my little car… On the right you can see my A800 Renault Clio Williams tuning setup outcome…
And that’s my FH5 Clio Williams S1 855 setup. I could get it to higher value but guess what? It was to quick and unpredictable for my capabilities! At least at the beginning, during my first steps in driving this thing… Crazy car! Really!
The only difference between those 2 cars are rims, colour and brakes… I was getting basically the same results in A800 and S1 class Drift Championships… At the beginning results were very, very poor, even for slightly skilled amateur like me… Disaster sometimes… But…
Finally, I had two Clio's ready for my personal FH5 drift challenge!
But online competition was harder, than I thought... Much harder...
It was time to face the truth...
