Best of luck to all this week and as always, thanks for keeping it Cashless!!

Happy driving all!!

[KnightOfRen8514]

I’ll be using your Miura tune this week for Trial. Should be a fun one, B700 Rare Classics is a fun restriction we don’t get very often. Thank god it isn’t B700 Modern Rally…

I’m excited to see how the GR86 does as a drift car. Praying it has some decent tire width upgrades. The WB kit looks sick.

[CashlessPlains8]

Awesome! Definitely looking forward to the GR86 as well!

[BravoSteelviper]

I did a replica of this Miura:

The Lamborghini Miura SV Is Tough to Enjoy, But Easy to Love

Lambo Miura (yellow and gray): 180 790 885

Did a replica of this one:

300SL (Motul/Zenith) : 127 118 811
Still working on Zip’s custom silver and red version.

Ferrari Berlinetta (red/white): 149 908 665
Ferrari Dino (red/white): 180 312 372
Jaguar (green w/ gold trim): 872 518 767

300SL (man city): 176 523 009
KTM X-bow (blue/white with orange accent): 158 618 711
Toyota 2000GT (silver and black, Snoop Turismo style): 502 627 027
Caterham (man city): 923 526 869

65 Cobra (Scottish flag): 939 748 851

Zip’s 300 will feature three new vinyl groups:
Tag Heuer: 258 691 190
Liqui Moly: 373 049 918
Motul: 248 580 307

Holy cow! The Manchester City Caterham has really taken off! That Manchester City logo has been the best effort/reward ratio of any of my vinyl groups. Worst one? Queen crest.

[TonyKartRcr]

I’m looking forward to the GR86. It felt good in the monthly rivals event.

I have an AWD & RWD trial tuned 300SL shared on my hub. Will post share codes later today with the rest of my tunes.

[robotiChart]

Lambo drives well!

Up against 3 Shelby’s, easy win race 1

Lost a driver for race 2, still a comfortable win out front

[Laberbacke]

TREASURE
Drive the Caterham R500 and use any Danger Sign (I picked Los Jardines) to jump 500 ft (I guess. My game is set to metric, that would be 152 meters, roughly).

[CashlessPlains8]

Thanks for giving it a rundown! That goes for others who give it a go as well!

Two wins for me today. First one was easy, second was a battle to get through the gripless ramathon taking place in front of me. Are people allergic to course knowledge?

[leetorts]

Yea awesome trial in horrible cars for tracks full of hairpins. All it did is let every person smash into me over and over. Thanks. When will you learn. When? When you give tracks like this they just wall ride. Who is picking this garbage? Cars with no brakes. Get people who know what they are doing who think. Wake up already.

[TheGillesMuller]

Was stuck between choosing what I liked best vs what was best (300SL) but went with liked in the end.

Good team with no stupidity, was worried on Bola Ocho starting 2nd to last but got through cleanly.

Reasonable times from the 365 compared to the Rivals times it set, about 3.7 seconds off on Riviera and it’s fastest lap on Bola was around 0.25 seconds slower.

[Laberbacke]

You think THAT’s bad? I only had three team mates just now and two of them were dead last, so I quit.

[TheGillesMuller]

These aren’t horrible cars at all if tuned right, and Bola Ocho I’ll give you but Riviera has nothing but very wide gentle curves + corners all the way up until that 90 degree right hander 40% of the way through.

I’m not excusing stupidity but if you can’t avoid them at the start of Riviera part of the blame falls on you as well, there’s tons of space in those corners to go on the outside/inside depending on where the idiots are flying in.

[leetorts]

Dude I’m braking to turn and they push me into a wall what can I do? I know what I am doing and how to turn properly. I think you know that. There are like 4 hairpins on Riviera. One after the other. I know how but cannot if I am being pushed again and again on every one of them. It doesn’t have to be unpleasant. Would the cars be fine for time attack? Yes because I can turn how I want without getting smashed. Stop excusing their lack of understanding race fundamentals. The Ai was going nuts as well just swinging across the track blocking and brake checking like lunatics. It’s a joke.

TREASURE HUNT FELINE LIGHT FH5 Treasure Hunt Feline Light Forza Horizon 5 Treasure Hunt

[Laberbacke]

I just had a team “mate” who kept overtaking me only to step on the brakes right after.

[leetorts]

I quit the first try cause we were going to lose the first race and they were not in tuned cars for the most part.

[KnightOfRen8514]

WTH? Why? The only reason I’d see for overtaking and braking right after is if you accidentally hit them or push them off the road and you’re giving the place back. But overtaking only to slow down? Seems like you’re just losing race time at that point.

Did nobody tell 'em “if you ain’t first, you’re last”?
