Event : Spring Festival
Challenge : Sushi Roll
Objective : perform 15 Barrel Roll skills in a Nissan (
BUG REPORT : see
Stig Assassin's guide here on TA)
Timeframe : March 24-27th 2017
Reward : Nissan Silvia
Horizon EditionCarCar used : 1966 Nissan Silvia
Tune used : "Timber Mill TR" from TheUnseenSaint
I used this car because it's a light weigh class and with this tune setup it got some power under the hood and became even less heavy. Perfect for this challenge imho.
Reported NOT to work : the NISSAN Nismo GT-R (DLC car) seems not to work towards this challenge, although being a 'Nissan'. Thanks
NendoShisu!
LocationThere are a couple of ramps at the airfield (Dry Reservoir) and Timber Mill (Kiewa Valley)
I personally prefer the ones at the airfield.
Try to line up the center of the car with the border of the ramp and gain some speed.
The car has to make a 360° spin around its axe and land on 4 wheels to obtain a Barrel Roll skill.
Do this 15 times in order to unlock this challenge in Forza Horizon 3 and you will be rewarded with the Nissan Silvia Horizon Edition for your efforts.
If you're struggling to get perfect Barrel Rolls, you can use the rewind option once you got a Barrel Roll and keep repeating this rewind thing until 15 barrel rolls are registered unlocking the challenge.
EDIT (some tips)
Tips & Notes*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***To be honest, I have been practicing a bit before the start of Forzathon, and I'd like to add a few things
- Speed: try drive at least +/- 160 km/h (105 mi/h)
- Angle: try to hit the ramp with a right-squared angle (90°). I wasn't getting any good barrel rolls when I came in with a different angle (diagonal)
- Barrel Roll: I noticed "Barrel Roll" appearing on screen when the car flipped 360° around its axe. So landing on 4 wheels might not be necessary.
- Barrel Roll Fail: on some occasions, I did not do a good barrel roll (landing sideways, not doing a 360° rotation) and yet "Barrel Roll" appeared on screen.
- Invisible Barrel Roll: sometimes when you do a good barrel roll, it won't appear on screen but yet is being registered as is and thus progressing on the tracker
- Losing Combo: if you got a perfect barrel roll but immediately lose your combo multiplier because of crashing the car or such, it is OK and still counts.
- Banking Barrel Roll: Thanks Xtowers! As mentioned in the comments, it is not necessary to "bank" the barrel roll

This clip was a little tutorial I made and posted on YouTube before Forzathon was active...

Dummy Account, (ab)

Clip 3 (unlocking challenge legit with
Main Account, using
no rewinds)
Pay attention to the "fails" I made and the game yet accepting it for granted! =)
Any suggestions to improve this guide are welcome.
