Thank you for your support and as always…thanks for keeping it Cashless!! :pray: :blush:

*B Class dirt is one of (if not) my favorite classes. I have several tunes that are competitive but these are just the fastest…
For those who follow me look through my CH, you may just find a hidden gem! :wink:

Reasonable Trial this week although you’ll know what sort of team you’re in with straight away, with randoms + the standard AI stupidity it’s 1st corner lottery on both the first 2 tracks.

Used the 510 with Cashless’ tune and won both races easily even with an ok’ish driver in the '74 Civic in the team.

Even though CC isn’t my thing it would have been nice to have a CC Trial this series, haven’t had one for ages + Japan has plenty of viable options for it in A class or lower.

Edit: If anyone struggles with the danger sign a maxed out Brocky will do it easy enough, didn’t try anything else but I’m sure any standard car will have too much of it’s speed killed by the water to have any chance of getting the required distance.

@CashlessPlains8 turned Datsun 510. One 2nd place and one 1st place finish. Nice tune on the car. :+1::+1::+1::+1::+1:

Besides that, it was my Grandma’s last car she ever owned. She would have been proud to see her little buggy winning races.

I might dust off my Pulsar for the trial. Surprised I haven’t used it more.

Toyota 86 with Saeenu’s tune is a good choice for the seasonal championship, #174 on Emerald Circuit after just 2 laps + the race times for HMC + Llanuras would have put me around the 900-1000 mark, surprisingly good on those 2 for a car with not much oomph in a straight line + a terrible launch.

Also remember it doesn’t have to be S2. Just did it in an S1 Funco without any problem.

Also, excellent story…happy grandma’s grocery getter got you to the podium! :rofl:

Another Trial success with the (@CashlessPlains8 ) Datsun. I feel like human players fare better on trails vs circuits. Probably because less sharp turns.

Oh, and a note on the daily for today. Apparently the Formula Drift cars don’t count as Japanese. I’m curious what country they register as (it’s kind of a pain that they have these categories that they base objectives/events/races on but they aren’t transparent to the user). So I used the Trueno with @AudibleJam509 's drift tune on it to knock out the daily. Just disappointed because I had used the Formula Drift Nissan to do the weekly drift zone with the thought of getting a “2 for 1” of knocking out 3 of the stars for the daily. If you’re looking to do that, stay away from Formula Drift.
