Thanks! :+1:

Hide/Seek and Arcade in the dailies - really?

Disappointing that it’s only the Modern Muscle Dodge’s for the Trial. Was looking forward to running the older Chargers and Challengers.

No problem with arcade daily challenges; it’s the only time that mode gets actual players, and I appreciate that very much.
Hide and seek though? I don’t have any interest in playing that mode ever again.

Many thanks Max.

thank you

In view of the close proximity to the start of The Trial, I picked what was already available in my garage and did a couple of test runs with auto gears and 11 AI. The best 3 all comfortably beat the AI.

This and the new Challenger are the only ones worth using on Marigold, the rest suck, too heavy and weak engines.

The '13 Viper can be brought down to A800 but only on bad/inappropriate tire compounds, were we starting on a power course a drags build may have been viable but not here.

Bad course choice for this restriction when half of the options start in mid-high A class, very heavy with 707hp minimum.

I’ll share this Magnum later on.

Ooh Ooh Ooh!!! Want to give a shout out for Curious Girl’s C600 tune for the '77 Holden Torana A9X! Outstanding! :+1:

I’ve shared my tunes just now so if anyone’s interested here’s their share codes…

Trial

Dodge Magnum (533 928 431)

It’s further up the thread what I was able to do with this, again though even if you don’t use my tune go with this or the new Challenger.

Holden SC

Torana (158 426 639)
Monaro (888 925 209)

Torana is sat at #78 on Horizon Callejera with fastest auto (legitimate one anyway).

Wasn’t planning on the Monaro but it’s at #36 on Marigold and it + it’s tune have been sat in my garage for ages so perfect time to share it.

I gave the Cadillac stuff a quick go earlier too, did the stunts with it no problem at 866PI on Rallies so I would say the best way to combine the Forzathon + stunts is keep the car stock for the 170mph for 10 seconds task, then install/make the S1 tune to complete the 30k spend and do the drag race + stunts from there so you only have to use the one tune for everything.

I have a stock Cadillac in my garage … definitely goimg to use that strategy. Great tip.

the forzathon/stunts is the approach that I’m taking.

Still disappointed we get a third SN95 generation Mustang but not a single third or fourth gen Camaro. The scan isn’t even new to Forza.

So the end is nigh. Last new car of the game.
