Forza Horizon 4 skills farming vehicles

Personally, I've found pretty good luck with the Hoonicorn if you're looking for a non-FE car. The best FE car I've had luck with has been the BMW M6 FE. I'd recommend downloading a tune from Don Joewon Song for it.

In both cases, max out all your perks on the cars, then head over to the Greendale Airstrip, drift up and down the airstrip getting landscaping skills, binman skills, drift skills, road open skills, wreckage skills, etc... Chaining all of these together
with the 7x multiplier, I can usually rack up 10 skill points in about a minute.

The advice you've already received about fast, grippy, AWD cars is solid and probably the most common method. Another suggestion, however, is building a solid drift car. I don't drift for the sole purpose of gaining skill points, but if you get decent at
drifting, you can just cruise around on the roads and rack up a ton of points with some big chains. I find this to be a lot more enjoyable than doing the same thing in the same area for a while.

Also, to answer your question about whether or not the BMW needs to be driven in manual, no. No vehicles require being driven in manual. The car is simply not set up well for the conditions it was in.

The Horizon Edition cars are the best to use for maximum xp. Definitely try using the Off-Road vehicles and AWD (All Wheel Drive) cars as they will be much better to drive on dirt, grass, gravel and sand
👍 You can also upgrade your car's tyres to Off Road/rally style tyres for maximum traction = better grip and handling. One more thing, keep listening to the Radio in FH4 and listen out for those 'Skill songs' and make sure to find a nice big field
or somewhere you can chain 'drift skills' together without crashing into any solid objects, that is a great way to get huge XP while in Freeroam. Hope these tips help!

Happy Gaming!

Ok, for those of you that play and like Forza Horizon, I am a Rookie at this Game.

I've been doing research to get better at skills farming. Today I Got the 1980 Renault 5 turbo FE. They were right, this one is great

for skills at the Beach by the Castle. Then, I bought a BMW M6 FE. Got one on the auction block. Took it to the beach and it was terrible. I don't know squat about cars, but the wheels just kept spinning and it didn't speed up fast. It sounded like it was
waiting to be shifted up or something. Well, I am using the automatic right now, so that makes no sense. Does this particular vehicle have to be driven on manual? Also, someone mentioned a Hoonicorn. What exact hoonicorn do i get? The auction has a few different
choices. I need the exact make and model. Any other skills cars I should have????

The beach is where I normally bank alot of skills because of the jumps from the dunes. Combine that with sliding into the fences and others objects, skills go up fast. You can turn any car into AWD in the upgrades section. I would choose a car that has a
skill upgrade to 6 or 7.

In saying that, the BMW M6 FE goes up to 7 I believe? You can check in the skills upgrade menu, but don't go to beach. Go to the Moorehead Wind Farm area. There is plenty of open space for drifting, the ground is bumpy enough to make anything get consistent
air, and there's plenty of bushes and fences for wreckage and sideswipe skills.

What R4VER said is spot on, the BMW just doesn't have the grip for Beach. Everything he said is exactly what I would have told you!
