Okay, so the Forzathon this week requires you to hit 261mph in the Charon. I don’t know if this is possible. I have hit 260, but not 261. It’s harder than it sounds. Can you do this on the beach? I don’t know. Help!
Did it in the stock lego one
Shouldnt be hard
Just use the freeway

Yep they clearly chose 261 as the speed the stock car can do.
Impossible to do the speed zone stock though unfortunately. (Well I can’t say categorically impossible but I found it needed a tune.)
I was only 1mph off 3 stars with speed zone with stock after 1st attempt
upgraded and did it easily
It is certainly possible, I did it in a stock no tune Charon. Use this custom race 848 286 136 (not mine) which diverts the A.I. so you can run down the HWY with no traffic.
Hope that helps.

This was the easiest for me. Don’t own the normal Chiron so had to use the Lego version and thought it would be difficult. Upgraded it and went straight down the freeway. I reached 433km/h
It shouldn’t be at all hard. I just used the S2 998 tune I already had on the car, and it did about 269mph on the motorway. I think my S2 Chiron tune is shared if you want to try it, though an X tune should make it even easier to do over 261mph. IIRC the car has 7 gears, so don’t stay in 6th thinking you’re in top gear.

272 is easy in the Lego Chiron and its only a S2 985
I hit a bit over 261 on the Freeway as well. (and I think it was with Breemintor’s tune). I know for sure I used a tune of his for some event in Horizon 4 yesterday)

I took the regular Chiron, upgraded it, no aero, skipped tuning and went to highway. Nailed it very quickly.

Some peole may not have noticed, but if you own the lego expansion, there is actually one new seasonal championship. It is part of the series 19 update, so, yes, it is new.
If you haven’t completed chapter 4 of the weekly forzathon challenge yet, winning the 3 races (or 1 or 2 of the 3) in the Championship in a Lego Chiron will count towards your progress,

I decided (like a lot of people, apparently) that since the Trial was S1 AWD and one of the championships was S1 Nissan to make an S1 AWD Nissan and use it for both. Where I differed is I went for the '12 Nissan GT R Black. Used my own Vanta tune (105 980 971), and it worked well for both. Only niggle I had was I still had the stock tires on it so it felt a little loose in the championship at times. Since I have an excess of credits at the moment, I might buy and build another one (or two… maybe three…) and throw them into the Auction House at a very low price to help share the love.
As for the weekly with the Chiron, I can’t help with a good tune. I can, however, help with a couple quick races to get the 4 Road Racing events.
For those who want to do it quickly:
480 247 062 - Ambleside Chiron Cup
-Shortest circuit I could make at 0.4 miles. 5 laps of nothing but regular and Lego Chirons turning right in a circle.
For those who want to do it quickly AND make the Drivatars be stupid:
180 860 101 - Cheeky Chiron Cup
-Actually a little shorter distance wise and at 3 laps, BUT it involves the alley way between the roads. The Drivatars will turn LEFT at the end of the alley and freak out because shenanigans with the race line. Also as a bit of a heads-up, the 11th place car if you’re driving on Unbeatable will try to turn into you at the start of the race because it thinks it’s off-track.
Using my being a general jerk to the Drivatars, I also made a bit of a sprint starting at the Elmsdon on Sea spot to allow for a completely clear freeway:
752 995 913 - M68 Test Strip
A bit of a heads-up for human drivers: turn RIGHT towards the first checkpoint on the roundabout and generally ignore the racing line starting at the first ‘crossover point’. Checkpoints are set up so you can go all the way up the M68, turn around, and come back while the Drivatars get confused with pointless tight turns, crossovers, and offramps that aren’t needed. I made it just in case people were having trouble hitting 261 mph / 420 km/h due to traffic.
Doing the Playground Games, I decided to be a bit different and built up the HDT Commodore. This turned out to be a BAD idea, as it bogged down pretty bad in the sand. Doubly so when slowed down in King. Couldn’t get it up past 10 mph for a while. Got lucky and the opposing team either lagged out or quit.

I had opposite experience with HDT Commodore. I don’t remember for sure but I think I didn’t wasted much PI to tyres, perhaps made stocks a bit wider. Perhaps that might be it?
Won event on first try. We were 5 in Blue vs 6 in Red but it was actually very good game. Even we won first 2 rounds straight Infected and King, players in opposing team didn’t started to quit before round 2 was closing and it was clear they weren’t going to win. One diehard player in opposing team kept trying on capture the flag that was next. I was just guarding goal as we were defenders on first round, somebody has to, but I admire that attitude. Sometimes you can tell, not very high level player playing pretty good game, learning the map and its tricks.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the best at tuning, and I tend to take suggestions from plugging my stats into ForzaTuner and experimenting from there. My best guess is either the tires robbing me of PI (like you suggested) or I made a mess of the gearing. But you can’t learn if you don’t mess up on occasion, right? ETA: Yeah, I had street tires on it, not stock. Dropped those back down and retuned. Drives a lot better not.
Also, your PG sounds very similar to mine. We started 6 v 6, the other side lost one during Infected, more dropped out during and after King. Wound up with a 6 v 1 in Flag whom I have to give props to the person for sticking around and having a good time.
Also editing to add I put 2 of my pre-tuned GT-R Blacks up in the AH for the bare minimum. One for 6 hours, one for 12. I’ll put the third and final one up sometime Monday afternoon Eastern US time. Since I didn’t want to sell just some bland cars, I took a hand at some basic decals. (I will post it in the proper place as well, but I wanted to show it off here too.)
Kind of basic, but it’s at least a little something, eh?

I rarely shared my tunes for games, not because of competitive aspect, but because I needed to learn it the hard way. I played games a bit in league I think I got in level 14 or perhaps even 12 but then I was always playing with random teams and once clubs, players that were really well organised sharing tunes, knew to anticipate each others positions, knew maps well, it was back to rock bottom very fast LOL. But I learned few tricks and can hang on and contribute something in Playlist games even with something outright terrible but those are not tunes I share.
Learning to tune for games by trial and error is what I did. But I guess players expect certain things. Like in Quarry team flag rush making that jump to goal area, at Mud Kickers have torque to deal with pooled water, to keep decent speed stay on power band to shift higher for best acceleration right after clearing that, same is important for Mortimer Gardens though obviously not during winter. Rail Yard… several areas there where players benefit from combination of good acceleration and nimble handling. Bamburgh for me has been about realising that lower class cars tend to be sluggish there, not just for me but for everyone and stop worrying about that. There’s lot of room there so for me it has been letting car slide and be loose to do anything but flip over.
Buggies can be a bit different in Bamburgh for what I have seen. One game I remember somehow even these events tend to blur together overtime, we lost either 2 first games straight, won one and lost third, all because of one player in opposing team had amazing tune and was just outrageously good player. It felt like we were racing with C- versus A-class but I don’t think there were any cheating involved. I don’t know how to build buggy like that but for basics I would test builds for stability, especially VW’s upgraded tend to get on two wheels easily and that’s practically good buy to any steering LOL
Game compensates a lot of power related aspects of cars and tunes among players and I never figured it out how it works effectively. I found stock Warthog sort of good comparison point for A-class Mud Kickers. As general A-class platform I used '17 Ford Focus RS upgraded to A-800 and stock as comparison point and experimented with different builds built up from lower PI Focus and Fiesta. If I was getting towards performance of '17 Ford Focus I was doing right things and if tune was underperforming I was doing wrong things, so not very scientific LOL
For lower class games I recall Ford Anglia can be pretty decent up to C-class.
Players who play in leagues could tell a lot but for obvious reasons they are not talking. So I hope this helps.
Your GT-R looked nice all right.
I really like this seasons homage to Bugatti, especially the Forzathon event “For Louis.” Always been a fan since I had the Hot Wheels 32 as a kid so it was nice to see that.
Getting three stars on any speed zone of your choosing isn’t too much to ask for, even for a Bugatti Chiron. However, of all the challenges to force on a Bugatti Chiron, getting three stars on the Strathbridge Speed Zone (a Speed Zone full of corners) is just idiotic. It may be one of the fastest cars in the world, but even fully upgraded handles turns about as well as a bus. Whoever came up with that idea, please demote them to oral sanitation of the building’s toilets. Frankly, it would be best to never create challenges that require getting three stars in a specific speed zone using a only specific car in the future.
