  • FH5 is starring to annoy me. The difficulty on average isn't a challenge but on above average all the opponents cars are just outright faster than mine. Also no matter what car I choose for a race the NPCs match it so there doesn't seem any point in spending time and money on engine tweaks

  • I don’t want to say git gud without knowing how you drive but above average should be pretty straight forward to beat.

    Couple of things:

    1. Look at your assists - I drive without ABS, traction or stability and with manual shift and am 10-20% quicker than with them on
    2. Tunes definitely help but things like tyres and suspension are probably the biggest performance gains. Make sure you’re on the right setup for the type of race.
    3. The braking lines are still a joke in FH5 so if you’re following them for cross country / off-road, that’s probably where you’re struggling to turn. Brake earlier, use gas off oversteer to turn in then power back on past the apex. Use a dab of handbrake if you’re really struggling to pivot the car. Assume you’re using an AWD vehicle?

    AI is harder than FH4 and cheats at unbeatable level for sure but anyone using the above approach should beat above average.
