How to unlock the Tortoise and the Hare achievement in Forza Horizon 4 - Definitive Guide


Tortoise and the Hare step by step video guide!

You don't need to win the race, just complete two races, once each in the appropriate car, and despite the name of the achievement it shouldn't even mater what car your opponents are using.

Note: Again, You don't need to win, just complete the two races in PVP' as a 'Showdown' Races (Once in an X class car, and once in a D class car).

For those posting negative scores can you please let me know how the guide can be improved, as I can use that information to hopefully make better guides in the future.

Before posting a negative score because it didn't unlock for you can you please check the achievement is not stuck unlocking, and if that is not the issue retry the event. When doing the second attempt double check you have set it up as 'PVP' and set it as a 'Showdown' Race as these are specific requirements to unlock this.

Excellent guide thanks.

The other guide makes it sound like you have to do it with a friend. Too confusing.

This achievement is bugged for me. I followed the guide to a T, and completed 2 separate drag race PvP showdowns using my X class Agera and then a D class BMW.. no achievement. closed out and reloaded.. nothing. Gonna try to start all steps over again and retry, but fingers crossed.

I've completed now with a 1x "D" (me), 1x "S1" and 1x "S2" cars. So maybe X is not necessary anymore?

Don't make the guide purely a video. Explain the achievement in detail along with the video.

Agree with Darick 23. This achievement is simple enough that a quick paragraph or two would cover it. A video (with a 10 second intro) isn't really necessary here.

Negative for not actually writing up the solution. The amount of characters, time and space required to actually write up the solution would be less than what you've written asking for explanations about negative feedback.

I thought the video was brilliant. The achievement is actually a little confusing and in this instance the video cleared up all that confusion. Don't be so sour. It's just a game.

I think some downvotes are because they can't be arsed to watch a video.

I guess the downvotes may come for several reasons:
- the guide isn't self-contained and relies on external link
- it requires you to watch video, which may not be suitable in some cases (ie. when on mobile with limited plan or limited reception)
- someone could think you try to take credit for someone else's guide

I'm not sure if there are any guidelines or rules for these guides, but I imagine using same rules as for the StackOverflow answers wouldn't hurt.

In the first race, you need do it with a class 'x' car and your opponnent with a 'd' car. In second time, the oposite, you with a 'd' car and your opponnent with a 'x' car. Simple.

I can confirm the following:
1) You need to COMPLETE, not WIN, at most two races.
2) You should drive a D class and an X class once in those two races.
3) Those two races don't need to be back-to-back or with the same opponent twice.
4) It doesn't matter what your opponent drives.
5) YOU NEED TO MAKE A SHOWDOWN BLUEPRINT FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT TO COUNT.

Managed to knock this and the 5 PvP races out on a Saturday evening in 2024. I kept moving to new Horizon Life sessions if no one was biting.
PvP showdown also counts towards the 5 PvP achievement :)

Good guide, I imagine the people downvoting don't know how to get an X class vehicle. That would be what's preventing me from finishing this achievement, I don't have one available to purchase either.

X Class is just a custom upgrade from a S1 or S2

This should've been able to be made quite quick, but in my case, I ended up in sessions with complete morons;
Wrote in title what was going on, still ppl kept on joining using S2's, mainly, and a few cases of X plus 5-10 times showing up in S1.

Had no problems getting the run done, when I used a D-class.
But as stated up above: when it was time for other round to go... Oh, boy, how that was aggrevating.

Even went so far to just standing still in the start letting time go on just for making the round be as long as possible;
Why make it quick when I have to meet up with players who:
1- Cant read,
2- Are trolling
or, what I believe:
3- Are just plain and simply 100% stupid.

They waste my time, I waste their. 👹*hehehe*

If you can't organize a group to complete this achievement just go to the horizon dragstrip during a busy time of day and start up a PvP showdown race. Sometimes it can take a while, but usually in a minute or two someone will join. Even if it takes a while you only need to do it twice.

Pay it forward and check the map whenever you see that someone is hosting an event. Give them a hand if its a PvP Showdown, it will only take a minute!

This must be a PVP Showdown, not just any PVP race. Select PVP from the race types and then when it asks for car class, pick "Showdown". This is what you need to get the achievement to unlock.

This achievement is quite simple to do. First, you’ll need a X class car and a D class one. Then, go to the Horizon Festival Drag Strip, then press X or the view button if you’re using manual gears, then select ‘PVP’ select create blueprint.

After that, go to the “Car Type” tab and select: “Anything Goes”, then select SHOWDOWN (very important because you will only unlock if it is a showdown).

After that, create the blueprint, select your X class car and wait for anyone to accept the race (i purposely selected the horizon festival drag strip because the people are most likely to accept drag races).

IMPORTANT: YOU DONT NEED TO WIN. JUST COMPLETE THE RACE. after completing the first race, you’ll need to use the another class. If you used the X, you will need to use the D class car (or vice versa) in the next race to get the achievement.

You have to own a car with an X class and a D class to unlock this achievement. You can purchase tuning kits to make one of your S class cars an X class. Drive over to the Forza Horizon festival and load up that Drag Strip event. Make sure you choose PvP and complete it with a X class car and then a D class car to unlock the achievement.

The description for the achievement was written by a very angry person) Everything is completely different and much simpler, it is done with randoms very quickly. Go to the drag strip at a festival or to the airport. It is possible with other types of races, but do you need it? Select "duel" and select "create scheme". Choose "Anything Goes" and the "duel" class, don't get confused - this is important. Call it what you want and confirm creation. Next, you again select the “duel” mode for the game and now your scheme. You need to play your game twice, once on a class D car and again on a class X car. Now to the details: you need one opponent to start, you can wait several minutes for randoms, so be patient and start your game over and over again, who He'll definitely come by someday. Next, the class of your opponent’s car doesn’t matter at all; whether you win or lose is also the same. It's that simple.

We combine our race with Human After All, I advise you to name it Help Me (It will be faster)

To get a class X car you need to upgrade your current one. I bought a Bac mono, then went to the menu and went to the creative center and tuning tab. There we select X999.
