UNBEATABLE | How To Win Against Hardest AI | Forza Horizon 5

Notice how we all use the same stock car in most races and somehow they always speed right past you even if your driving and all turns are absolutely perfect. They dont take the lead from you realistically they immediately get some random speed boosts and jump ahead wtf is that.

The ai is broken, 50% of the races I do is like in the rain, and for some reason the ai have no issues with it, then there's me trying to keep up and sliding across the f'ing universe with every turn.

i tried a drag race vs those bots and i finished 11th WITH A RIMAC, bots driving RWD cars, they had such an impossible acceleration

I think this is all part of it. However, far too many times I've been pulling away from "unbeatable" AI drivers in a long straight when suddenly they get this magical burst of speed and blow by me going 50-80 KPH faster than I am when I'm wound out in top gear. I've also witnessed AI at all levels plow through physics objects (fences, barrels, water traps, etc.) without losing a single bit of speed, but as soon as you brush a bush with the side of your car you get slowed down like you hit a brick wall. This is particularly evident in the off-road races.

The A.I are definitely cheating, there have been videos where people have demonstrated all the AI and players using the exact same car with same specs and everything and they just accelerate much faster than regular cars.

Great tips! Here is one you didn't mention. If the 1st place car is out of sight, they do not get penalties for hitting fences, bushes etc. They will also not spin out on turns and make perfect 90 degree turns! Meaning if the first place cars are out of your sight, you'll never catch them. Thanks for the insight!

One month later, and a B Class G65 AMG on road is working like a charm. Thank you very much for the guide

5:07 that's what real life racers do in motorsports when there is no chance of an overtake. Forcing them in the same car as you actually benefits you because you can copy their racing line and braking points knowing it will work. Most important tip to beat them is really focus in taking the right apex for the right corner and trail braking into slip angle.

I've been playing in unbeatable since Forza Horizon 1, and Motorsport 2, and this AI is really broken, the fact that a Honnicorn have more downforce that a McClaren Senna, is really annoying. Hope they fix this, I really like to play in this difficult cause force you to make better lap times, but with that Handicap is impossible.

Here's what worked for me. Get a super fast drag car like Lambo Diablo GTR, Koenigsegg Jesko, Rimac Concept 2, etc. (The Jesko worked best for me, but make sure you put drag tires and rally suspension on it) then go on a circuit with lots of tight corners. It might sound dumb but your acceleration will just be so OP that even if you ram into everything on the track they won't stand a chance.

For Cross-Country events on Unbeatable, I found it fairly easy with the Lamborghini LM 002 (C Class tune) With the use of rewind and a few tips on the video I was able to get 10 wins in 10 races with this car! Hope this helps a bit

Great video. I had come to the same conclusions and believe you are right. Race 1 - I blitzed the pack. Race 2 - 3 cars were ahead of me, same classes. I'm working through Street Races and it has been really hard as you mentioned. They just get better and better.

Sadly your theory about them using "actual lines" that players drive isn't really correct. Just race a long enough race (Gauntlet, Goliath, Marathon etc.) on higher difficulties (Pro, etc.)... you will see the same pattern: 1. The front 6 and back 6 will separate. 2. Over the course of the track, the AI will start "Feeding" you cars from the front pack to pass. 3. If you manage to get out in front, after a while, if you can snap a pic of the back 11, they will be in a perfect "ant line" driving the same path and not overtaking each other. (this doesn't even need to be all the same car) Not saying your methods don't work, but your theories about using "real" AI pathing isn't really how it works. You can tell this easily if you add a bunch of "pro-level" friends to your Xbox list (DJS, etc.). They will often place randomly in the pack when you think the pro drivers would always take first over your random friend who is terrible at the game. The AI is all about rubberbanding and scripted passes.

Good job explaining everything I figured they just followed a line but didn't have full understanding

Nice video. But I swear circuit races in Guanajuato with Unbeatable difficulty is impossible without wallriding or driving dirty

Just beated Unbeatable with a maxxed out F40. It seemed impossible at first but overtaking the #1 Ai is the hardest part but once you get there. You just gotta block their way so they wont cheat their way through you. I can confirm the Ai is rigged. You just gotta outsmart the whole race.

To win the road race use the 2069 Bronco on the festival circuit and ram them all off the road, for street scene use a X tunes Apollo and outpace them on Ruta Norte, for dirt race and cross country do the Caldera Scramble and Herencia Cross country and just slide through the corners. The ai is unable to use the handbrake so the off-road courses are super easy since the drive it like an asphalt course. His idea that the Ai learns is probably true but they learn so slow you can do the same race 10 times for each.

yoo dope video this is underrated

I think one thing that is making them so fast is the new redesigned automatic shifting if the ai works off it thats why they are so fast due to it being completely superior to manual with ot without clutch

They seem to brake in the middle of the turn and never suffer any understeer from it. It’s quite annoying.
