Average time per lap: 15min

Average time per lap (rain): 15min 30sec

This car's really hard to handle, being a FWD hatchback with poor traction...

Welp, lets hope I don't wreck out too many times lol

Goliath50 Part 5

Saturday August 10, 0200-???? GMT

Car: Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Stats: S2 998 AWD 1,037hp 987kg

Average time per lap: 10min 30sec Average time per lap (rain): 10min 50sec

Estimated total time: 9h

I may or may not have been hit hard with the lack of motivation when it came to making the livery for this car, so instead of getting it done and putting out the announcement 2 weeks before the event, I ended up rushing the hell out of it yesterday lmao

Anyways I can't wait to spend 9 hours streaming just one race (again)

yay

oh and also weather and time should be unlocked for this race, which means I'm very likely going to end up doing both night and wet racing within those 9 hours...

Fingers crossed I don't end up having to turn on my facecam, last time around I made a bet that the facecam would be turned on if I crashed out 40 times, and I barely survived with 39...

Idk how chaotic this one's going to be, I'm mostly just hoping my ears don't get blown out again (for context, here's what happened last time I finished the Goliath50)

The Final Goliath50

Saturday April 11 2026, 0700-???? Singapore time

Car: 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado

Stats: D 500 | RWD | 1,750hp | 2,044kg

Average time per lap: 17min 30sec

Average time per lap (rain): 18min

Estimated total time: 15h

Crash target: 10

One final sendoff for Forza Horizon 5!

This time in the slowest possible class, which laps Goliath at just over HALF the speed of my previous S2 Class cars...

I'm expecting the whole race to take about 14.5h based on my average laptime, but factoring in stuff like toilet breaks and crashing my car (hopefully not often enough to fail the crash challenge), I'm not expecting to finish any quicker than that lol

Once this race is done, idk... I'm not interested in Horizon 6 (both personal reasons and because of the excessive price), so we'll see where my passion goes after this...

(Hint, I'll probably become a full Sonic Rumble streamer or writer lmao)

More notes on the Goliath50!

I have managed to tweak the Toronado's handling to be a bit more manageable, and the result is beating my old time by less than 2 seconds... Over 17 minutes...

This means if I push, a 17:30 per lap could be consistently doable. But obviously that's not happening 50 laps in a row, so I'll say at most 17:45 average per lap, factoring in all the possible errors I can make + my more cautious driving because of the crash challenge.

The crash challenge will probably be set at 15 crashes, ie I can only make 15 major errors before I need to turn on the facecam...

17min 45sec × 50 laps = 14h 47min

So I basically can't make more than 1 mistake per hour, for 15h straight 🥹

I need to get very consistent with this car very quickly if I want to be able to keep this speed up in April...

Goliath50 Part 7 (slightly earlier than expected)

Surprise surprise, With FH5 receiving its last content update this month I have decided to do the X Class Goliath50 one week from now

The Civic Goliath50 is still happening in April, this is just a lil extra G50 before we get to that lol

Crash challenge is set at 75 (Yes it's a lot higher than before but this car is also a lot harder to drive due to it being ridiculously fast)

The glitch transition effect is just smth I quickly whipped up in VSDC Video Editor, theres probably much better ways to do it but I made this in 20 minutes so im happy lol

Extra notes:

Average time per lap is 9 minutes, estimated total race time is ~7h 30min

The car is a fully upgraded Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Forza Edition, the all-round fastest car in the game

Facecam turns on at 75 crashes, and to make it more interesting, I am turning on rolling time/weather (yay rain) and setting the drivatars to unbeatable for the extra challenge

[mbrine]

I only have 1 car choice for the next Goliath50 but this time it's actually controllable yay

(controllable relative to the other choices. it still understeers constantly lol)

Coming sometime in April probably...

Goliath50 Part 6

Saturday December 14, 0200-???? GMT

Car: Automobili Pininfarina Battista

Stats: S1 900 | RWD | 1,845hp | 1,617kg

Average time per lap: 11min 45sec

Average time per lap (rain): 12min 30sec

Estimated total time: 10h

Facecam turns on at: 30 crashes

Just like how the car's full name is a bit of a mouthful, driving it is just a lil bit of a handful

Aka this is by far the most powerful car I have ever taken for a Goliath50 with 1,845hp (previous was 1,750hp), combined with being one of the most utterly undrivable meme machines I have ever tuned in Forza.

The Battista is capable of reaching a 460kph/285mph top speed, making it by far the fastest out of all previous Goliath50 cars in a straight line. (previous was 440kph/273mph)

In contrast, the Battista is also by far the worst-handling machine I have ever brought for a Goliath50, being the heaviest at 1,617kg (previous was 1,605kg) and also running on drift tires. (Yes, Drift tires.)

Just like last time, I'm challenging myself to not crash out more than 30 times during the race. Penalty for exceeding it is I have to turn on the facecam for the rest of the stream, and any additional crashes after 30 will add 1 lap to the remaining lap counter, which means I'll have more laps to do in the future if I keep wrecking out 😥.

Rules for a "crash" are as follows:

Any collision or mishap that causes my speed to drop below 50kph

Resetting the car for any reason

Rewinding for any reason

Crashing out multiple times at the same spot will only count as 1 crash, since there are times where I can get a bad rewind or reset and immediately get wiped out by the AI drivers.

Here is what a standing lap looks like in the Battista, so just imagine me continuing past the finish line 49 more times and you'll have a pretty good idea of what my race is gonna be like

Also the other player GameDriveDad was borrowing my car, which is why he had so many issues with it during the race 😂

*HIGH VOLUME WARNING*

Goliath50* Part 5 complete!

Yes it is 6am right now I think the coffee I drank at 11am is finally taking effect help aaa

Finished with 29/30 crashes, which meant that there was no facecam (honestly if you dig far enough you'd probably find it lmao)

*technically Goliath74 due to the game crash/restart on lap 24
