Festival Playlist events and rewards Aug 3 - 10 (Winter S23)

I’m not a fan of the 300. I would have preferred the Aston. But any time I can beat two or more of the real players I consider the tune to be a great tune. And by those standards I have to give both tuners kudos (real kudos not the faky ones in the game)

Just have to blame the bad Trials on the way the game rolls the AI.

So I might give @KnightOfRen8514 s weekly swapping plan a go.

I’m already thinking about next seasons tunes as usual.

Trial: Seeing the Sights- A800 Decade of the 2010’s. Wish they had the courage to give us an S2 Trial.

SC: Number 1 Rule-B700 Retro Saloons-Street

SC: The Little Things-C600 Classic Rally-Road. Surprised this is road courses but maybe the Forza Wiki site has it wrong.

RA SC: Nitty Gritty-B700 Honda-Road

HW SC: Feel the Loops-S1 Porsche-Hazard

I need to look over the 2010’s cars to find some good candidates. Ah, who am I kidding, I’ll tune them all.
Not long now til we get some Italian brands back to tune, although I hope there are some new ones and not just returning cars.

An S2 Trial? Just keep your thoughts to yourself please!

The AI and most players aren’t even able to handle A class and you want an S2 Trial!?! No, thank you!

Thank you! I tend to prefer racing RWD cars. I just think a good RWD car feels better. Making a good RWD tune is also more rewarding. AWD can mask a lot of things. Not to say I don’t like AWD cars or that they are “easy” to tune. There is some AWD tunes that I’m really proud of and are absolute beasts. I think it just comes to do the actual car.

An S2 trial every now and then would make things more interesting, and this is from someone that doesn’t race S2. Just not the open class Trial we had early on, that was a complete disaster.

Having just missed the target (by 1 mph), I decided to try out your rally expansion PR tune with the Viper. Easy first attempt, thanks. Went to HW and was lazy, so did not change cars for the PR speed zone there, and another 1st go. Probably could have got a faster score with my normal choice, but not needed so why bother. Your tunes tend to suit my driving ability, with handling to the fore (similar to that of el_barto_inc, my go to tuner in FH4)

Thank you, that Viper AE is a hell of car! @El_Barto_inc was also my “go to” in FH4.

In the process of trying to clear out some dupes in my garage, I found I have a couple extra Wulings; is anyone in need of one of these? If so, just PM me & I can throw a fully loaded one with the below design into the AH at min buyout for you. For anyone else interested, share codes below.

S2 Tune SC: 363 657 437 - “Road Speed/Grip”
Design SC: 800 066 998 - “Dark Side”

Agree & shoutouts to those tuners who spend a lot of time turning out some great tunes, but don’t always have the opportunity to post full lists on the weekly thread. Appreciate their efforts as well & just to cite a few: @Tredawn, @El_Barto_inc, @x_ShadowsBane_x, @geistwriter (please feel free to add to the “Kudos” list for anyone I may have missed).

It would be nice to have some challenge in the event that’s supposed to be the most challenging festival playlist event for the community.

These lower class races are such low stakes. They may as well not even bother including the 3rd race because it rarely ever comes into play.

If they’re going to stick with lower classes than they could at least revert the AI to how it was when the game launched.

Go play FH4 S2 Hypercar Trials for a bit and we’ll see how you feel about that…

:wink:

You haven’t lived until you’ve done an S2 Hypercar Trial in the rain or snow.:upside_down_face:

My favourite trial in FH4 was the street race one in Winter, ending with Marathon, S2 Lamborginis.

I was late to the party with interacting with the festival playlist in FH4 so I can’t remember if I did that one, but it sounds fun!!

If anyone wants to try I’ve shared 3 tunes.

  1. Merc 300SL - AWD no aero - name "audio513’ SC: 131 653 703
  2. Merc 300SL - RWD no aero - name “season” SC: 164 172 451
  3. Ferrari 250 Cali - AWD no aero - name “audio513” SC: 713 206 176

If anyone is wondering where does this strange name come from - it is the name of one of teammates who was surprised how quick one of my cars was and asked for sharing :wink:

I can’t tell if I liked this week Trial or not. Cause 1st track is more power biased and 2nd handling biased, so you can either make powerbuild, gripbuild or average car which you can’t use anywhere later.

PS. Can we not discuss next week events until tuesday or at least until monday? It doesn’t bother me that much, but IDK, it was only 2 days since new season started.
And if you will tell me that you want to do it anyway I will try to ignore that discussion, so don’t be afraid to say no to me :wink:
