The 2018 Top Gear Track-Tor (TG Track-Tor) is a custom-made tractor made for the long-running British car franchise Top Gear.[1] As the first drivable tractor in Forza, the TG Track-Tor is available in Forza Horizon 4 from Series 11 onwards as one of the three cars unlockable from the Horizon Story named The Top Gear Horizon Special,[2] which is narrated by Chris Harris himself.[3]

Overview[edit | edit source]

Technical details and specifications[edit | edit source]

The TG Track-Tor, based on a Chevrolet Blazer chassis, is a tractor that has been modified for racing and high-speed driving purposes, including a fixed rear wing and a reinforced roll cage, as well as taillights derived from the Ariel Atom.[1] Unlike regular tractors, the Track-Tor has brakes on both the front and rear axles as opposed to just the rear axle.[1] In addition, it has an adjustable air suspension system in a similar manner to Land Rover Range Rover vehicles.[1]

The wheels are 20 in (50.8 cm) split rims fitted in 54 in (137.2 cm) Super Swamper Bogger rear tires.[1] The Track-Tor also comes with a twin-hydraulic handbrake, allowing each rear wheel to be locked independently of one another.[1] It also features a Wellington boot and spade rack, in addition to a rotating boot brush, which Top Gear describes as a "toilet brush connected to a drill".[1]

Housed in the front bay of the Track-Tor is a Chevrolet 5,735 cc (5.7 L; 350 in3) naturally aspirated V8 engine modified to make 500 hp (507 PS; 373 kW) and 430 ft·lb (583 N·m) of torque.[1] It is paired to a five-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels.[4] The Track-Tor has a curb weight of 5,500 lb (2,495 kg) and a neutral 50% / 50% weight distribution.[4]

Performance[edit | edit source]

The Track-Tor is capable of reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.6 seconds and 100 mph (161 km/h) in 19.4 seconds, all the way to a top speed of 201 km/h (125 mph).[4]

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

  • The TG Track-Tor might be the slowest car in the Extreme Offroad division of Forza Horizon 4, but the Track-Tor should certainly not be underestimated, as it is capable of dominating Rivals leaderboards on Dirt Racing Series routes in Classes C and B with a proper tune (especially Class B).
    • In fact, it can be described as the new best Class B car, although it is heavily biased towards handling, braking, and acceleration, while the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is slightly more balanced but with a better top speed.
  • The TG Track-Tor is the main vehicle in the The Top Gear Horizon Special chapter "Faster than 87.2", where the player has to drive the TG Track-Tor through the M68's Speed Trap above 87.2 mph (140.3 km/h) to complete it. Achieving 124 mph (200 km/h) results in 3 stars for the chapter.
    • To drive the TG Track-Tor in "Faster than 87.2", though, the player must first park Chris Harris's black BMW 1 Series M Coupé on a middle curb on the M68 without completely filling up the damage meter.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Mistakes[edit | edit source]

  • Due to the technical limitations of the Forzatech engine, the Track-Tor's rear wheels cannot be locked independently of one another.
  • In real life, the Track-Tor's headlights are recycled from an Ariel Atom. However, in Forza Horizon 4, they are changed to a set of generic round headlights.
