Cars noted as Seasonal Exclusive are not available in the Autoshow, so grab them while you can!

Quick skim differences from the original series (Summer S20) :

Forzathon Shop dropped the car prices. Lotus from 600 FP to 550. Audi from 250 FP to 100.

40 point playlist reward was the 2018 KTM X-Bow GT4.

Windy City EventLab restriction changed from S1 900 Anything to A800 Retro Sports Cars.

Mulegé Outskirts EventLab restriction changed from S1 900 Rally Monsters to A800 Rally Monsters.

Treasure Hunt reward bumped from 100 FP to 300.

PR stunts have same targets.

Went with a drag tire build on the Clio EDC. Was useful for getting out in front of the pack very quickly.
Team wasn’t up to the task though.

Another drag tire build for the older Clio this time. Very sloppy run on my part but the team got the job done, not that it mattered since it didn’t complete in the playlist.

Now, an hour after the end of these buggy races, I receive the news that new cars have been added to the fleet

I will give it a try in an hour or so because I need to go out but I don’t expect it to work, just to tick it off my list.

I have a list in that topic already :slight_smile: to save time. Already tried all the events and tried to do the trial on an account that didn’t complete series 20, just to see if that was causing it. Still bugged. The series itself is broken.

I saw another comment about the Atlantes de Tula speed zone. I went 174mph in a Brabham BT62 and a Ferrari F50 GT approaching from the east. Both were stock tune.

EDIT: also, 176mph with the Pagani Huayra FE stock tune.

Holy mother of God, the Windy City has to be the WORST Event Lab chosen yet by the devs! I don’t know if I should congratulate the devs for finding it or the maker for being able to create it.

Trial was ok. Decent team, made easy work of the two sprints.

Used the Corsa

it was awful. who in their right mind puts those hot wheels cosmic treadmills on that route than shoots you into a wall on the corner?

We have awards for the best community creations, I think we need them for the worst

Heh, looks like being lazy and not attempting anything on the first day paid off for once.

Good Lord that Windy City eventlab is freakin awful. I did find a couple of shortcuts that bypass the uturns at the end but they don’t bypass those booster things. Good thing the ‘damage’ that cars take is so superficial, if it was realistic I would have split in two with that first boost as I stayed in the middle of the road …
