Use this for the Drag SC tomorrow…

That’s the 6th fastest legitimate time on the board and trviis’ tune may very well be what was used to set the 4th fastest and the WR at the top of the screenshot.

It’s slower in auto of course due to the usual things but still consistently does between 14.231 and 14.281…

Ran it in a blueprint vs Unbeatable AI afterwards…

trviis also has a tune for the Dart specifically for Aeródromo (18.9 seconds).

Had to come to the forums because I didn’t see anywhere in the new preview image format that specifies what discipline the seasonal championships are. Unless I missed something obvious.
I much prefer the previous format. No idea why you changed it just for the final new playlist.

What happened to the bumpers, wings, etc. for the new Challenger?
Nothing but the usual Forza aero here.

Edit: Looks like the extra bumper’s and wings are for the Mustang Cobra.
The pic is kind of misleading with them being listed under the Challenger.

Well done on the wins. it wasn’t a great run from me and it was bit chaotic mid-pack to say the least

The GTO needs the street transmission at least for the speed trap. Adding engine upgrades will make it a little easier but isn’t necessary. :+1:

I went with a rally tire Spec 5 for my first Trial run.
It’s more of a handling build over raw speed, which I thought paid dividends on Horizon Callejera.

Share code if anyone wants to try it out.

Started last on the grid on Las Laderas and had a rough fight through the pack and probably should have finished 2nd but the teammate in front of me missed a checkpoint.

Won the Drag, You’re It! championship pretty easy once i realised that the 1965 Ford Mustang GT was the car to go for, so a great A800 drag tune gave me the win in all 3 races so.
It`s called A800 drag racing and the share code is 846 075 812

Good to hit the playlist again for a new car. As such, felt like the new Challenger was well suited for a bit of a Hoonigan mod. Share code below for anyone interested & as always, thanks to anyone who decides to check it out, it’s appreciated.
