At least we found out Tuesday instead of Thursday morning. I’ll be back to my computer Wednesday so hopefully I can have four livery options Wednesday night. I’ll have at least the white/shiny/black on the 22 and I know I have Gulfs already done one the older 86 and brz. Probably just need to put together something for the newer 86.

Take two I guess…

B Class BRZ vs 86 (Wetland Charge)

BRZ '13 (cezar013 ‘Road, Aero’) - 2:53.624 (2:52.773 on a 2nd run)
86 (K1Z Bard) - 2:54.208
GR86 (KGrGunMan, Drags) - 2:54.291
BRZ '22 (AlfaBRO2385, Drags) - 2:55.209

Both @geistwriter and myself guessed before I started the older ones would be the top two.

Shows the difference going a class up/down can make to cars, the '22 BRZ was the quickest A class car by a considerable distance yesterday, now it’s firmly bottom by a similar margin.

The newer brz and g86 have horrible stats in b class. Wowzers. What a huge difference from a class haha. I was like oh gonna use the 2022 subaru…but wow the stats are really not good. Kudos for the brz still beating it’s newer brother.

The '22 one currently really is lacking in B at the moment, I searched for B class tunes and scrolled right through to the end looking for just 1 suitable tune from someone I know, only one I found throughout the hundreds of tunes was one from geist that was for Dirt, hence I had to use a tune from someone I’ve never heard of.

Strange choice from PG to change the class when the 2 extra options that weren’t in the game last time we had this restriction are much stronger in the A class it originally was.

I’m pretty bummed about this B class restriction. I was really happy with how the A class tunes turned out but I’m not really feeling any of my B class tunes yet.

Going to work on them some more this evening and might go in a different direction with them.

I am happy about Wetland Charge. Feel like I have a good feel for this track now.

Tested the PR stunts. Most are as easy as usual.

The Hot Wheels Supersonic Spiral speed zone needs a clean run. You might struggle if you scrape the walls a time or two.

The Basejump danger sign in the '69 Nova basically requires a full on power build to get the job done.

It’s recycled as well from a while back. I forgot about it till I realized I still had the b tunes on the subaru brz and the g86. I had more fun trying to tune the jesko to race this week. Then spent the rest of the time in fh4…because their recycled races are still more entertaining to me.

Well if anyone doesn’t like anything in this week’s playlist please would you care to remember that some idiot out there just ran an A class Unimog on the Gauntlet, falling over 13 times and finishing 50 seconds slower than their B class leaderboard time :joy:

They added the 2021 McLaren Sabre to Forza Motorsport today.
Seems like it would fit in perfectly in FH5.
Hope they add it soon.

It would be a good candidate if they ever have a British Automotive series.

So i created a Blueprint (Unbeatable) at Wetland and raced the 4 offerings we have available.

The 22’ GR86 came out on top for me with a 2 second gap average on the rest.

The next best was the 13’ BRZ, the 13’ 86 and lastly the 22’ BRZ (which i found horribly under performed on several tunes).

The 2 13’ models were on average about half a sec to a sec within each other over several Blueprint Races.

If the traffic is included (i have included it in the Blueprint) then i reckon it’s going to be somewhat tight but overall i think it will be done in 2 races the majority of the time by most players.

Happy New Year all :beer: :+1:

Subaru 2013 BRZ (BRZ Gulf): 321 219 519
Toyota 2022 GR86 (Pace x Ronin): 144 723 131

Subaru 2022 BRZ (Pace x Shoyoroll): 142 484 394
Toyota 2013 86 (Toyota Gulf): 172 158 907

So it turns out “86” is a forbidden word in livery names.

That’s weird that it’s a forbidden word.

Even US slang is just “discarded, ejected or rejected”…can’t see how that’s offensive at all tbh.

“bypass” not allowed either, very convenient for this week’s “bypass” speed zone :roll_eyes:
