I’ve come across a few BS’s in some of the Trails but they haven’t been a factor. These were nothing. But those stupid tankpools were a pain. Whoever sets these races up really needs to do a better job of setting up the car fields.
And it also seems strange that we can speak about the BS in those terms. Wonder why?
Agreed - had a Tankpool and a Unimog in there that were a nuisance as well.
Weird on the BS reference - if you used it in a standard reply to anybody it would get rejected by the forum message gods.
I guess we just need to say you’re talking BoneShaker there my friend… 
1st and 1st. I DNF’d a couple of the humans. I was the lone Caterham… no BoneShakers.
Next in the queue is the @CashlessPlains8 Mazda. I didn’t have a livery on deck for it, and I just got back from vacation, so I threw together a Gulf one for the Mazda as well:
I’m just not going to be caught in a trial without a livery that I did anymore, even if its a quick pattern one.
You can tell the Cashless tune is on because of the aero. I made the wing sides orange to match the contrast color.
Have you got one with that Dark Pearlescent Green that we discussed before ? If so, I’d take it.
Still can’t find the right paint numbers to match it.
I reckon the green with the orange would set it off better.
If you send a pic, I can run it through the paint matcher.
1st, 1st, and 1st with the Miata.
I got roughed up pretty badly on the first 90 degree on the first 2 races, but still pulled out the 1st place. Last race I didn’t get wrecked as badly and DNF’d several of the AIs. Great tune!
Was just running through my new cars list and actually the Jaguar MK II 3.8 stock car is similar to what I was thinking.
Awesome to hear, glad it worked well for you! 
The livery you made for it is very nice! 
Gulf FTW! 
Thanks for giving the Caterham a proper run down! I love beating up on the BS with this tune. Unfortunately not seeing a lot of them.
So the game is being a pain and won’t use that color in “history”. So I matched a vinyl piece by eye as best I could on the Jag, then moved it over to the Miata.
I used “two tone polished” but used the same color twice, just to try to get that pearlescent look.
Maybe swap the outline colors to white instead of the dark blue?
I can also put a white outline on the Gulf logo. My vinyl group actually has the white outline by default, but I ditch it on most of my Gulf liveries because the dark blue contrasts well with the light blue (but it gets lost in the green a bit)
That looks much nicer to me than the basic flat blue.
It might be a lighting thing on the car angle that makes it look a bit darker looking but still looks great.
If not the angle on the car shot then maybe a touch more on the brightness (not sure if on Low or Highlight setting would work).
I always get this on paints - some settings on one car is what I want but on others the same settings look too dark. Sometimes a deep red on one car goes brown after applying to another car.
Wouldn’t worry about the Gulf logo - it’s fine as it is.
That’s a cool tip on getting the pearl finish. I’ll have to give it a try myself. The car looks pretty cool too.
Couldn’t see what the next Trial requirements were during the live stream but did get to see the req’s for the two seasonal championships.
SC: Red vs Yellow-Ferrari vs Lamborghini-S1 Street. Lots of good choices here but I have to give the nod to the Ferrari’s overall.
SC: This Way Up-Maserati Levante-B700 Dirt. This one starts out at 696 but you can shave a couple of PI points off with the offroad race tires and bring it down to 690 by increasing the rear tire profile size.
Gives you enough PI to add a gear box and rally suspension and even upgraded brakes if you increase rim sizes.
Very even overall I would say in the Ferrari v Lambo battle. Diablo and FXX are both meta and stuff like the Huracan and 458s/488 are all very strong.
Pretty sure the next trial is Maserati (road) but I don’t know what class.
I love my S1 tuned FXX. It doesn’t matter if it is circuits or sprints. That car rips.
@ziperrPL I won’t be taking it in Open any time soon but I actually really enjoyed it compared to that dreadful Velociraptor I drove it’s like a F1 car on tarmac + WRC on dirt, unlike that abomination it at least turns better than say, a canal boat.
Great job on the Eagle as well, very responsive but easy to drive.
More Bajio teammate annoyance with that WRX idiot, from passing under the bridge early on I think they took 1 single corner properly, every other one I watched their car or marker go flying into it and I knew exactly the reason why, so me being me I couldn’t help but let them know what I thought after…
‘Hope you feel like a complete plank for failing to keep up with a trike that you were desperate to corner bomb every time you were anywhere near.’
Such a good track to drive properly but has to be one of the absolute worst in the whole game if there’s one of those present, every barrier cushions them perfectly down the track.
Have you seen the “special effect” vinyl group finish?
Vinyl groups can’t use the special paint effects… so instead you paint the body of the car your special effect color. (gold in this case). Then you cover the whole car in giant rectangles of color vinyl groups.
Then use masking layers to cut through to the special effect underneath. You can turn existing vinyl groups into masking layers, which is how I did the Queen crest on the hood. (Ain’t no way I’m doing that by hand… again.)
That would allow for pearlescent vinyl groups, though it’s limiting in that you can only do the body and hood differently, but otherwise your colors will pretty much be the same
This is really cool, I’m definitely going to have to check this out more. Thanks. I’ll have to get this livery also.
