Greatly appreciated, Thanks! :+1: :grinning:

Looking at the playlist, the requirement to get 6 ultimate speed skills in custom open racing, may not be as straightforward as it sounds. I’m guessing a fast S2 car is the way to go but unless the tracks offered have decent straights, then sustaining the required speed to reach ultimate speed isn’t easy.

This kind of challenge annoys me. I don’t mind engaging in Open racing as part of the playlist but it should be about racing, not looking/hoping, that a certain skill is achieved.

I’ll be hoping that I don’t get into the current custom race and am left waiting. Technically, you’re still in open racing and a fly up and down the highway should give 6 ultimate speed skills easily.

Agreed, these kind of challenges are a pain. I will just get in something fast, go into Open Racing, hope that “Event is in progress” fly down the highway and then quit :slight_smile:

Taking an S2 Jesko up and down the highway in a lobby waiting room should work.

edit: The comment above says the same and didn’t show for some reason until I submitted my reply, apologies.

I find that if you leave it to the last couple of seconds to confirm your car choice, you will often miss the first race

I’ve previously used this method to unlock some accolades

Good to know. I’ll try that

You can get the skills even when you’re in free roam and a race is going on. Get 3 6 ult speed skills and quit the lobby

Thanks, I said that in my post and it’s 6 ultimate speed skills.

you left something in from last week

“(The Koenigsegg CC8S is a reward from the “A Pretty Swede Deal” championship this week.)”

yes, I am unsure of those

there is a bug in our favour - maybe

on those occasions when open dumps us in free play while a race is going on because [reasons] it’s usually possible to tick off these sorts of things very easily because there’s nothing else around, except other player cars (they’re not ghosted, though) - this only happens on the first attempt to join a lobby from free-roam

so, pick an S2 lobby, go to the motorway at one end, start the task, fingers crossed for that bug, if so floor it, if not maybe try and do it “properly” or just quit and try again

I remember one of those tasks for getting something like drift skills during an Open race. I got dumped into the waiting lobby, did my drifts, and got out of there within 30 seconds.

Thanks for sharing the tune Geist :trophy:

Was going to go Corvette 02 which had it slightly over my Stingray 20 on the Plaza course on Unbeatable.

Then i checked my tune and realised it was from way back in 2021 :crazy_face:

Popped your tune on and it’s clearly leading over the Corvette now :+1:

The Caddies for me are slip sliding all over, no matter the tune. I prefer to race them on Scramble circuits, they seem to do well for me in that environment instead of asphalt or cobbled road.

I’m revisiting a lot of cars from really early in the game, the supras and skylines, and this Corvette is always solid

I know what you mean, its good to revisit some of the true and trusted of the day, some of which still stand solid as you say :+1:

I was watching Ferrari last night and I’ve decided i want to do a lab event using the cars from the Millne Milage.

It’s going to be a lengthy race with some nice drops, countryside, and town streets involved as well.

Should i make it stock and unbeatable?

1 Like

unbeatable is always best for long races I think, but can you do stock eventlabs? i never thought about it.

Just checked and it can’t be set to stock which is disappointing.

I suppose i can see what the 50s cars are at PI wise as stock and limit it to that i suppose.

Like if the majority were B or A then set that as the class :+1:

custom pi and stock should be a feature, but I’m sure other people have already suggested it.

my favorite tune this week is actually the deberti shop van, it barely sneaks into b700 and it’ll be a fun option for playground games

For the weekly #Forzathon Challenge 370Z, I have an existing design available I did back in ‘22 from a request for a design theme based on the FM2 cover car. I took a few “creative liberties” :smile: but thought it turned out pretty well. SC below for anyone interested. Thanks!
