How to unlock the Meet and Beat achievement in Forza Horizon 2 - Definitive Guide

Hi.

I used the Subaru Legacy RS, upgraded to Class C600. At those specs, this car becomes virtually unbeatable, with higher class cars unable to catch up to you, if you race nice and clean.

I did not have the Storm Island specific upgrades installed.

The car meet is marked on the map as a white "P", on a blue background.

Good luck!

Big thumbs up from me m8! I didn't get a win the first few races but that was due to my own bad driving. Then just like Sdrew44 I got 3 wins in a row all against s2/s1 and A class cars.

Nice one.

I think that the class advice is good, but I don't agree with the car selection.

I was using a '77 Ford Escort RS1800 upgraded for Storm Island at C class, and in all three of my wins, I had at least one person in the race who was following this guide.

I did lose once to a D-class Ford. Some of the Ds can be pesky.

This Legacy with a basic C tune does fine against S2, S1, A, and B (for the most part), but so many people are running Ds and Cs.

Negative voters must have thought they were guaranteed 3/3 or something. I did win 3/3, but there is no guarantee. Raced a C600 Fiesta ST, A800 Fiesta ST, and S2 something EVO. Won by 20-30 seconds each race.

So can you not invite a friend to your showcase and just race them? Or is that not a solution because there is no guarantee a random wont join.

Class C is a really good choice here. Though I had no luck with the Subaru Legacy RS in multiple races (particularly I lost a couple of times to a Ford SVT Raptor of the same class). So I decided to try my luck by also using the Ford SVT Raptor with maxed stats for C class and it worked well for me. Only got beaten once by a Lancia Fulvia with class B that catched up to me very fast.

+1 from me, but look out for maxed out A-series cars. If you see one of those with a competent driver, you're probably going to lose. Still only took 8 races to get this.

Using any car under S1 I was consistently caught before even 45% progress - with racing clean and fast. I don't recommend this strategy. Using an S2 car is FAR easier if you're even a half-decent racer.

I went with the Ram Runner upgraded to C600 and found it much easier than with the Subaru Legacy RS (which I found really hard to handle btw).

I won all my showdowns in a row, including the ones on the mainland.

I really don't think this works all that well anymore. There seems to be a high percentage of players hanging in the car meet that are level 300-500+, and all they do is try to fine tune model & class for those races. Once I was able to break from a large lobby of these guys and get matched one on one a few times, I won 3 in a row with the Fulvia (SP?).

I tweaked my mustang from Solution for We Meet Again! In Forza Horizon 2 and upgraded it with storm island parts. It can deal with almost everything that S2-A drivers throw at you. I uploaded it as "storm mustang" under this gamertag.

However, faster cars bring you only that far in this DLC, because track layout and surface can enhance the time bonus for D, C and B class cars even further. I was able to get two wins straight from the go, when someone entered with a D car and got 20 seconds advantage. I ended up using a stock '68 Lancia Fulvia to beat him. It costs 36k and has a rating of D500. I tried both cars in further races and got wins with both, it obviously depends on your skills and the capabilities of your opponents.

It is also helpful to know the tracks. There are only a few, but they tend to have dangerous parts, where a wrong angle on a jump takes you straight in the woods.

Legacy RS, got my butt stomped.
Fiesta RT (or what ever it is), got my butt stomped.
Fulvia, won 3 in a row.

I'll also point out that it kept putting me in the same lobby with the same 10 players that were all level 300-500+ no matter how many times I left and came back. So I used the fast travel to head back to the mainland then fast traveled straight back to Storm Island. Got a fresh new lobby and much better results.

I had a ton of trouble with this achievement. I seriously got all of Horizon 5-0 while trying different builds of recommended cars from the solutions and comments of the other posted solutions.

So here is what finally did it for me:

I took a 2014 Ford Fiesta ST and I focused on making a B700 class car with heavy on the handling as opposed to speed to acceleration that I had been trying from my tunes as well as public tunes. I put a couple of the storm island upgrades on, but made the tires racing for higher handling. I fooled around adjusting to drop it to B700 after doing that upgrade.

I uploaded my tune, so search for my name if you want to try the exact tune that made me go from 0-47 to winning 3 out of 4 races in a row.

As far as my settings go, I had it on easy, but I changed the brakes from assisted to abs on so that it didn't slow me down going up hills and on slight turns. I pretty much followed the dotted lines from there short cutting only when there was a safe obvious path. There is a couple harsh turns where you have to break, but other than that if I had a relatively smooth run, I came in first. (on the one I missed, I got caught on a house where I had to back up for a sec) Even though on one of the races a guy switched to a Ram that was faster and same class, there was places where he went out of control that having the high handling helped me.

To get into this mode, go to the P on storm island and wait in there until the x for showdown shows up, sometimes it takes a minute or two. To get a new car or tune, you have to go to where you pick the single player events up(not too far from the P, called Storm Island Horizon Hub). To buy cars, go to the autoshow on that menu, to tune them or load my tune, go to your garage in that same menu.

Anyway, hope this helps someone out there.

Thank you. None of the other solutions stated how to even start a showdown. How can I win one if I don't even know how to start it? +1 smile

There is only one Car Meet in Storm Island, located in the bottom-centre of the map as a blue "P" sign. Once at the car meet, after a couple of minutes you will be able to propose a Showdown race by pressing once the option is available. If at least one other person accepts the showdown, the race will shortly begin. The easiest way to win these races is to choose a low class car so you get a head start from drivers with higher class vehicles.

A foolproof method includes using the stock 1968 Lancia Fulvia without applying any upgrades, one of the best D-class vehicles in the game. As per its low class, you will get at least a 20-second head start from other players using higher class vehicles, and providing you do not make any major mistakes whilst racing, you should be able to win with a strong lead in any event.

we choose a subaru impreza wrx sti 2011, upgrade to B-class, take advantage of the separate start for a lower class of cars (they give you a head start of 30-36s, rivals are almost always from S1 and above), and we drive through calmly.
