Welcome back everybody, it's your favorite German potato with another Forza Horizon 5 video. Today we're

looking at the best S1 class cars in the game. I'm going to show you the best cars we found for handling purposes: two

amazing all-around beasts and one very interesting speed choice. And a lot of honorable mentions, and here we go.

The probably best S1 class handling car for now is the Lotus Elise GT1. And yes, I

hear many of you say, 'Well, we've seen this before.' In the following race with my awesome Johnson Racing community, I'm

going to use the tune from GRF Senna, which is good. Guys, download it, and you can also find it on our setup

spreadsheet, like I already said. Rocking the Lotus Elise GT1 in this race. We also have a Ford GT driven by Mars; we

have a Ford Focus, a Lamborghini Huracán, the TVR Cerbera, and so on and so on.

Let's go! Let's see how our Lotus actually performs. And as you can see... oh my god, this start!

You're so slow with this launch at the start because, well, it's a rear-wheel-drive car. And this is actually the

biggest problem of the car. Trust me, guys, when I say I'm going to have the chance to get back

to the top, people, but you're always going to be lost after a few seconds as long as everybody else is racing AWD

cars. Today, oh god, the guys in front of us, what are they doing? Let's see... below average. I hope you're

better than below average. Oh my god, that steering from me, that was below average. This is also something this car brings,

guys. You need to be so gentle on the throttle because, well, it's a really bad car. And now we have the problem that

We're stuck behind Queen Gamer, and what's going on with Sportsza at the moment? So many smoking tires in front of

us. Nice, that's great, but well, five times guys, a little average still in front of us. Also, Cortez Mars in the Ford GT, way ahead.

Did I miss this checkpoint? No idea. Luckily, luckily. Okay, on the outside, let me leave some space, please, or leave me some space; let

me have some space. German potato engaged. Okay, and we are third, guys, we're third. So trust me when I say this car has

amazing handling. It's probably the best handling car you can drive at the moment. It has so many world records on arrivals,

but yeah, it's difficult to drive, especially in races and especially when you just take the wrong gear, like I

did in the last turn. And yeah, it's difficult to drive; it's tricky to drive. Setup by GRF Senna is actually pretty

good. Close to Cortez now, heading to second position. Here we go, and now we need to hunt Mars. I think we

won't catch him. So we've been coming closer, ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, but Mars won the race. I was pretty

bad in this race, so he was rocking it. But well, trust me, guys, get this Lotus Elise GT1 if you want to have the best

handling car in the game. For all of you who don't want to tame this RWD beast, this Lotus Elise GT1, I

can recommend the Mercedes CLK GTR, which is also a pretty good handling car. Of course, it's not as good as the

Lotus, but if you're searching for an all-wheel-drive handling car, I can definitely recommend this car with the

tune by OnlyNap. Another decent S1 class pick in terms of handling purposes is this Lamborghini Centenario,

and I would really recommend this car if you're a beginner because it's super easy to drive. And as you can see, even

Grady's tuning name says it so easily, but now let's come to the first orange choice in this video: it's the Ford Focus

RS from 2017, which is an acceleration beast.  ESV Swimming uploaded his tune for it, and trust me, guys, you definitely want

to check it out. Next race: Ford Focus on a sprint track. This year's Avada Sprint: a great acceleration car.

And many of you should know this car from Forza Horizon 4, where it also was one of

the best cars in the S1 class. Um, so let's see how it actually performs here. You've seen Felix better rocking it

on the last track when I was racing the Elise. So let's see what Felix is doing now.

But as you can see, guys, this car is amazing. The acceleration is—I would say it's crazy; it's very, very good—but there

are definitely some other cars in this class you could probably compete with. But this is just a decent run as well.

As you can see, the cornering looks good; turning is decent. However, it's pretty stiff.

Uh, that's what she said! And here we go, flying away. Mars behind us. Mars is OP, as

you've seen last time; as you've seen in the last race. He's not rocking the Ford GT this time, though.

So, will he catch us? That's the question. Ford Focus once again. And actually, this finally is a car for people who are

using 4AM, who are searching for AWD cars as well—online races and all of these RWD cars. Well, you've seen it: the start

was very, very bad in the release, and then you need to overtake everyone. And yeah, using AWD is still better in

that regard. Seventy-four percent—he's getting closer, but it looks good for now. It looks good for

Now, so yeah, Mr. Suiman, actually number three in-game, that was his name before, um, he made a

great tune. You should definitely download it, as you can see, um, very good acceleration and yeah, the top speed right now. Oh, what's that? Oh,

god, uh, did I press my white—my right stick? Oh my god, you see how rusty I am? Anyway,

first. Oh well, I think I've driven this car before a few times in Forza Horizon 4, and yes, guys, again, this Ford GT '05 is

probably the best all-around choice in S1 class. Our official tuning god, Nalak28, uploaded his tune for it,

and yeah, let's give it a try. The Ford GT is the AWD all-around car, once again.

We're starting on the second—on the Vulcan Sprint. Now, I think we also used this track for our X-class cars video, and guys,

don't forget to smash that like button if you like this content. Don't forget to subscribe if you knew this would be

amazing, and if you want to be part of this amazing Johnson Racing community, join us on Discord, and then you can even

join these races. So here we go, guys. It's time to show us what you got. The link is in the description of the

video and on the pinned comment. While I'm rocking the Ford GT, the all-around AWD car in S1 class, and wow,

who would have thought, guys? Who would have thought it was also the best all-around S1 class car in Forza Horizon

4? Of course, there could be—there could be the possibility that we'll find other cars in the meantime,

but for now, many people are actually searching for these meta cars, and this is what we came up with. What number

three came up with. What? Not—I've found, you know, there were so many people already searching for these cars and

Well, everybody's like, yeah, Johnson, you know, it's probably still the Ford GT, so here we are, rocking it.

So we're heading into the last third of the track. If you don't want to race these AWD cars online all the time, guys,

then you could also check the McLaren F1 GT, which is tuned for RWD, and this is also a very good all-around car.

But you've seen it in the first race: using the Elise, you're going to lose at the start.

And well, this part here is pretty tricky. However, I actually mastered it pretty—yeah, pretty good—and didn't lose any time here, guys. Your

potato is back! Your favorite German potato is finding his form. He's back in Forza Horizon 5 business!

But no, I'm just joking. Um, there are still many, many people who are much faster than me right now, but I think that was

that race was actually pretty decent. What shall we say about this car without revealing too much? Now, it's the Jaguar

XJR-15. It's a barn find, and it feels slightly off in its class. And yep, it's our choice for the

best speed car in S1 class. Once again, I'm going to use NalaX's tune, which you can download. And I think already the top

speed on the right-hand side tells you that the next race is going to be interesting: 441 kilometers per hour in

S1+. Here we go! Welcome to the Jaguar XJR, which is just completely bonkers. Go to third gear, guys,

let it rip! Say goodbye to every single one of you, to every single one in front of you, and

then, Mimi, just get back on the straight as you can see. That's a one-on-one time.

And uh, well, after a few minutes, you're just back at the top of the field. This is your best speed car in S1 class,

Jager XJR, and actually, guys, it's so OP that it's also the best car in most of

the sprint tracks and on a lot of circuits. Yes, you heard right. This speed monster with RWD, which is which

shouldn't steer at all, it's driving 440 kilometers. Powers on straight, and that's what it costs. Yes,

this car is also the best on most sprints and on most circuits. It's just completely open, and by the way, this is one of the most

difficult parts of, yeah, of the game in terms of circuits, in terms of sprints. It's so narrow back there. I'm actually

pretty lucky that nobody was just close to me over there. But yes, as you can see, guys, this car is just completely madness.

Um, of course, you need throttle control; you need to be gentle to the car in general. But if you're able to control this

machine, you're just flying away. Of course, you're losing in these parts like this one now, you know, when somebody

behind you's got a handling car and something like this. But that's basically it: you are smashing everyone in this car. And the good part

okay, is it even the good part? It's a barn find, so you can just get this car very early in the game,

tune it, get everything, and then here we go, fly away! We've got Mars behind us, who's

coming back in these turns. He's great. And yeah, another tutorial, guys: never go below the third gear in this car, or the wheelspin will

just kill you. And yeah, the good part is, if you've got a fat ass like me, nobody's able to

overtake you in corners, and then when the straight is coming, you are just flying away and messing up this

last part. Oh god! Oh, imagine Mars overtaking me there closely before the finish line, but here

We go, guys! This is the most OP car in S1 class and your best speed car: the Honda NSX GT.  It's the car which comes

very close to the Jaguar. It's slightly slower, but also slightly easier to drive. Now, like, also

uploaded his tune, so if you want to try it, do it. Unfortunately, you can't get this car at

the moment; it was only part of last week's playlist. Say hello to this super-light old race car, the Lola T70, which

appears to be the best S1 class dirt car at the moment. Our good friend Grady295

got you covered with his tune, so that you will just destroy every single other person on the online grid. Well, that's it for

today, ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for watching. I hope that was helpful. Don't forget to smash the like button; don't

forget to subscribe, and tell me in the comment section which other S1 class cars you are using in the game. Maybe

there is a car we just didn't find yet, and yeah, it would be super interesting to know. So, take care everyone, and
