How to unlock the Ultimate Zen achievement in Forza Horizon 3 - Definitive Guide

Car: 2016 Zenvo ST1
Race: High Speed Highway (Left of the map)
Recommended Tune: "Ultimate Zen" by "Maka91"

This car should be given for free to anyone who has the DLC. After grabbing it, make sure to install the proper tune/upgrades. I would also recommend using my tune which was specifically made for this track. The tune includes widened tires for increased grip, adjusted gear ratios and downforce for improved acceleration and top speed as well as tire settings for grip and braking.

Before starting the race, make sure you go to Progress, Skill Shop and purchase the Pull Rank skill in order to start the race in first position.

Also, before the race starts, make sure you create a custom blueprint using Stunt Swap and choose the Boost Jump stunt as it will allow you to complete the track most quickly.

Now complete the race as fast as you can to earn the achievement.

Generally I play this on easy but for this one I found it essential to have the braking assist off and go with ABS instead. Shave about 4seconds off for me.

@runner7922, braking assist is probably the setting that will destroy your time the most. Would highly advise against it.

Got 1:58 first attempt and didn't even try on the last couple of corners. Great tune!

I used Manual, ABS, Traction & Stability Control.

Couldn't do it with maka's at all. The drifting is BS.

Go with FuzzedUpCookie's tune in the comments above. It's far superior.

Best I got without Pulling Rank was 2:00:139 ARG!

Edit: using Pull Rank made it real easy, 1:58 with a couple really bad turns.

Just inched in with 1:59, wasn't able to use pull rank and tinptr's pointer helped with drivatars, otherwise they just bother you half the time.

1:55 no "pulling rank" needed. So don't waste your skill points if you still need to unlock all of them

I can’t do squat with a RWD tune, so I grabbed Don Joewon Song’s AWD tune. Lower top speed but way easier to handle.

I haven’t seen anyone else report this, but the achievement didn’t unlock for me until my 3rd successful sub-2:00 finish. I rebooted after the 2nd time it failed to unlock; third time was the charm.

The RWD tune is difficult AF. Use the AWD Don Jeowon Song tune. As long as you don't make any egregious mistakes you'll easily get this. I had 8 seconds left on the clock. Still giving Maka thumbs up for the perk and blueprint mentions that make this easier.

Some good tips here. But I'd strongly suggest an AWD tune. I just fully upgraded the car myself (AWD, full downforce and a little tuning) and got 1:52.5 on my first try. I'm no tuning genius or anything, but it's available to download under my username, if anyone wants to try it.

Also, don't forget about that rewind button!

Have to agree with the others, Maka's RWD tune is suicidal on Hot Wheels tracks. JDS' tune is brilliant here.

I totally agree with the other players , RWD is suicidal , i used a random AWD tune and nailed the track with 1:54 m
I also want to suggest to switch the car damages to “cosmetic” since hitting the track borders at high speed may highly affects the car performance making everything harder.

Your tune is deeeaaaad roll me and a friend couldn't get it under 2 minutes, no matter how near perfect we did. Tried a random tune with a sarcrifice on the speed (down to 7.8) but 10 accel/launch/braking and 8.7 on handling ((Creator: HORIZONCRAZY6 - Tunename: BEST S2 SETUP) and we both got it FIRST TRY!! wave

I had to downvote for 2 reasons:
1) The tuning is not the best: I chose one that was 10 for acc, launch & brake.
2) This was not unlocking for me. I switched to a Championship in the same session and it unlocked 1st time but this wasn't mentioned in the guide and had to find out myself after a moment of confusion

Buy 2016 Zenvo ST1 and autotune it to the best S2 performance. When you have done that, select High Speed Highway S2 Sprint race (south-west part of the map) and choose Hot Wheels campaign race. Instead of using premade race, create your own blueprint so you can take advantage of the Stunt Swap feature and change tricky part of the track - pick Boost Jump or Loop.

To make everything much easier buy perk "Pull Rank" in the skill shop (you start at the front of the grid for the next 4 Campaign Races) and change AI difficulty to the lowest one so other cars won't bother you during the race. Now just complete the race, getting under 2 minutes won't be hard (use rewind if necessary).

This achievement is not too hard if you set the car upright. You need 80 medals before you can attempt this. The 2016 Zenvo ST1 is free from the Autoshow and it is best to tune the car. A good tune to use is "Ultimate Zen" by "Maka91".

Once you have got your car and it’s tuned you then go to progress, skill shop and purchase the “pull rank” skill to start the race in first position. Now pick the High Speed Highway sprint race, but before you start it is best to create a custom blueprint. You want to change the stunt swap and choose the “Boost Jump” stunt as it will allow you to complete the track more quickly. Now you might want to put the weather to clear and time of day morning or early afternoon. Now you are ready, use your brakes when you need to and try not to crash too many times.

Thanks to Maka91 for the tune and video.

To make it easier for yourself to complete the course, you can change the standard trick to “acceleration jumps” in the Stunt Swap mode.

And to make it really simple, buy a bonus and start from the first position.)
