Which S1 car is your favorite at the moment?

[@carenthusiast172]

Mclaren F1 GT

[@NoPantts]

ford supervan is a monster for street race.

[@GatitoCarreras]

Feel like there is way less grip on any car compared to horizon 4, handling and grip feels like 3 again for some reason

[@ellessidil]

Not going to lie, was almost as excited for FH5 in the hope of seeing you release more content again as I was for the game itself. Love your work, thanks for the awesome videos!

I just built my first starter Sim setup with Next Level Cockpit, LG920 Wheel, Pedals and Shifter.. So I'm going back and grabbing new tunes, and basically re-learning to drive now with a wheel. I downloaded the Spread sheet with all the videos and builds. What an INCREDIBLE rescorce this has proven to be. New Sub here!

[@Johnson_Racing]

Awesome to hear that. Welcome to the team. :)

[@robertg420]

A similar guide for A-class would be amazing. I'm not good enough to race S2/X class unfortunately and can barely hang in S1 lol

[@Johnson_Racing]

it's on the agenda! :)

[@dankosanchez5135]

A lot of these s1 cars have phenomenal tunes on a as well such as the 2017 focus

I use the Connie hoonigan it’s a great a class option & you can use it for dirt races

You’ll get there man. If you ever want to play together and get some tips and have fun then just let me know and I can give my gamer tag. I’ve been playing since horizon 1 but in the last year I hadn’t been able to play much but I’ve started getting back into it.

[@Paragleiber]

Very helpful video! Quite surprising to see a Ford Focus as a top S1 car. I don't think I ever noticed that one in FH4 personally. I also didn't expect the Lola to be good for dirt but then again we also had the Speed 12 as a great dirt car in FH4, lol.

[@Johnson_Racing]

yooo Para :)

[@ben2cameron]

The Lola was really good in FH4, but mostly rivals specific because it was such a challenge to drive.

[@ESVMars]

was great fun to be apart of this session, ggs

[@Johnson_Racing]

see you next time bud!

[@xboxbenny]

Tried out your GTR 02 tune for A class yesterday ah man it's so good.

[@elimszero45]

I'm glad you're back.

[@KingCliveThe17th]

Any chance you could make a new tuning guide? When I'm tuning my cars, I never know if I should try and do it in a realistic way, or if it's as broken as it was in the last game.

[@WeAreThePeople1690]

Yeah, sounds good. I often make cars worse when i try and tune them. Drift cars i can tune to do what i want, but for racing i usually just give up and download a tune.

[@Nelith55]

Broken like last game tunes are speeding my cars up in FH5.

[@ben2cameron]

Watch Hoki Hoshi's guide

[@Nelith55]

@@ben2cameron HokiHoshi's FH4 guide was trash IMO. Do any pro's his tunes? Johnson racing's guide made my cars so much faster. The game just doesn't work like Hoki thinks it does.

[@ben2cameron]

@@Nelith55 if you don't know what you're doing, it's a fair intro. If you're looking to set top 1% rivals times I would just use top tuners.

[@modellbaugecko3115]

I did a list with tuned S1 900 cars in FH4 with the Goliath track to get who’s the fastest and I was so confused because the Lamborghini Diablo SV and the Nissan R390 were the best in all categories :0 But also many Ferraris did. great at this!

Where do i buy it

[@J-STX5469]

@@yaboi_linkan6994 You can't really "buy" it. You can possibly get it through the auction house, but the original way to get it is by finding as a barn find in the main game.

As you further progress through the game, you will eventually come across it.

[@TRIBULXTIONS]

Much love Johnson. ❤

[@Johnson_Racing]

love back to you!

[@tommyruggiero]

The TVR Speed 12 is a great alternative to the Lola for Dirt/CC racing if you want something different. I have found it to be equally fast but more unique. Its pretty rare to find someone else running it online and fun to drive around the Lola users thinking they are driving the Meta.

[@HansWurst-I]

I agree. Fun to drive and my first choice while driving in dirt.

[@zaphy6342]

Do you know a good Ford GT tune that's not aesthetically ruined by huge rear rims?

[@Johnson_Racing]

Not yet since it's the way to make the most out of it. :)

[@ESVMars]

Huge rear rims is the best build for it, so any good build will use them

[@dennisjungbauer4467]

I'm also curious about one without the spoiler; there was a great tune by Grandma Driving (ISAD) in FH4. I don't have the car yet to check, though. But I also used the one from Nalak28, awesome for sure, I just dislike the Forza spoiler on many cars.^^

[@Zika013]

thank you brother *_*

[@Johnson_Racing]

Thanks for the great, but tricky tune ;)

[@CODCAOS]

A LENDA DAS TUNE

[@merbuhk]

I knew the Centenario would pop up. I made a decent tune myself. It can reach about 360+ KMH, very good acceleration and very balanced in medium and fast corners. It's good in slow corners too, but I guess some cars can beat it in that regard, also in terms of Top speed, but the overall package is very pleasing. And due to the fact, I was able to make a competitive tune by myself, I'm most likely to stick with it. Should fight for wins on all tracks except Highway only.

[@JumanjiG]

Can't wait for more vids

[@WillFuI]

How good is the viper acr in this game compared to last. Not the new one or the barnfind

[@xxKURTMANxx]

[@callumpatmore653]

Great video! I love S1 racing, have you tried using the GT40 MK2? I made a RWD tune for it and it hangs surprisingly well with good throttle control. I considered making it AWD to be more meta but it’s genuinely fun to drive and not at all unmanageable

[@Johnson_Racing]

I'll check it out!

[@callumpatmore653]

@@Johnson_Racing I hope you enjoy the car as much as I do. It’s not on the level of the Elise GT1 or 05 Ford but it’s definitely a lot of fun. I really enjoy your channel btw! Looking forward to seeing more videos of you racing, you’re very good.

[@kylen6430]

Could you recommend could tracks you act as a proxy for testing?…for example, which one is good to test build/tune for handling vs speed?

[@Johnson_Racing]

Horizon Mexico is pretty good for accel/overall. Emerald is good for handling. Some of the sprints are good for allround as well.

[@terrylu4894]

love you guy~

[@-Siftn]

Hey Johnson! Have you tried build a formula drift car but race spec? I made a Rwd drag tire build on the FD Ferrari, I tuned it for drifting but it just went way too fast not losing traction, in s1 too!

[@DevilWolf000]

Nissan R390 is the best S1 class road racing car if you know how to tune it, that car by far the best grip with decent speed

[@Johnson_Racing]

Will look that up!

[@brofist8696]

Don't suppose you have a tune you'd recommend? LOVE that car, just can't seem to get it dialed in tuning wise tho.

[@anguswalker123]

Hi mate. You gonna rank/research Class A/B/Offroad/Dirt/Winter cars like you did for FH4? Your spreadsheet is awesome! Guided my entire FH4 experience.

[@Johnson_Racing]

in the making :)

[@harlyquin]

6:10 great tune and it gets the job done but i dont understand why its geared up so high, it has a 7 speed box but i never got out of 5th, is there a reason for this?

[@authenticNL2]

PI from extra weight from gearbox, and maybe 5 gears allows for better traction

[@bibilaterreur5478]

would you advise TCR for the jaguar? or does that kill its speed?

[@Johnson_Racing]

It will lose some of its power, but it's probably still decent.

I haven’t tried the wide body kit on the rx7 yet but I love the car. Do you happen to have a tune code that I can try?

[@snakeNP215]

In rwd or awd?

[@giggity4670]

The best I found was the Ford GT 2017 the braking and grip it has is amazing I always 1st on normal races and the online ones I can be half a lap ahead with the GT. It was the same on horizon 3 was amazing car but some reason on 4 it was rubbish but now it is back for 5 must of copy and paste it over from 3 as it is good again try it out you will no regret it.

[@MrHenhen5]

I used it for rivals and it did me well but trying to break into the top 1,000 on emerald circuit and it just doesn't cut it anymore sadly, but on a longer track it would probably still be great. The elise gt1 is the best I've found so far and the BAC Mono deserves a shout.

[@Johnson_Racing]

sounds great, mate!

I love the car as well but I find the 7.2 speed to be underwhelming especially against really skilled drivers that switch out handling for speed. The R8 is definitely unbeatable in the tighter corners though, none of my friends can touch my scores on the Volcan Sprint.

That tune for the Lola needs work honestly I feel like I got done dirty. The first Gear is tuned way way way too low. The off the line acceleration is garbage because of that first gear, especially for an AWD car. Really bad over oversteer too. Transitional steering & stability is a complete mess. Besides that everything else on it is pretty damn solid but damn it i wish i could edit this. I dont wanna post it as my own or even get credit. I just wanna make it good 😞

you should try the 1991 Peugeot 205 Rallye for S1 dirt. Very good in my opinion

[@BabyHippoSwag]

you can make the bugatti chiron S1 class, i'm curious how it stacks up against the ones in this list.

[@MrHenhen5]

I'm assuming by putting on rally or drag tyres? It depends on what track you're on, if its on a track with a big straight then it will do well, but it's such a heavy car and in s1 class it'll probably handle even worse.

[@M0N573R11]

i can say i was messing around with the twin mill in s1 dirt and it was very good but more similar to the jag in that its very difficult in turns
