Can someone explain me how to perform an “Hard Charger Skill”?

4

I believe it’s where you start out in a wheelspin (burnout skill) and “charge” up to a speed skill of some sort…

Just wang it in a straight line in a fast car from stationary. That should do it.

thanks Nugsy,
The event lab of this week is really the worst ever, a real nightmare

Strong conviction in saying we DONT need team racing back. Wow the trial was a wreckfest even with it being C class. Absolutely annoying to have your own team ram you off the road!

One round of survival is enough
Having three rounds of the same mode in pgg sessions is just a terrible idea

I don’t know, on the plus side it’s the most likely of the 3 PG types to end quickly.

Also liking the EventLab’s text with the class it says to use not pairing with the one PG have made it.

Agreed, got to 95% and couldn’t get up the final incline :rage:

Update:- retried with a car with Offroad tyres fitted, no problems, completed

Also, seasonal stunts.
Stock Lambo Lp570 does the speed zone easily
And the other two stunts shouldn’t be too hard

11

No problem this week to find the treasure :smiley:

I’m not even 50% done with Eventlab but I can already say this is by far the worst ever. Not even a contest. At least it’s roughly correct class becauae getting some of the parts done with S1 J50 is workout.

I’m struggling with the s2998 170mph speed zone, can’t even make 160 :rofl:

14

There has been some bad races with these halfpipes but this is by the worst of all the custom races we’ve done. I said it a while back, whoever picks these must be doing it for a good laugh. There isnt a tire compound that gives sufficient enough grip for these dumb ramps! They arent even properly leveled, I had to use the rewind at least 15 times. Who has the patience for this?

Use the Aston Martin Vulcan. It doesn’t have great top speed but it makes it up with fantastic handling and you’ll easily corner through the streets at 170mph

16

Each week, I have tried to be objective with these Events, to give them the benefit of the doubt. Y’know, thinking, “ok, this one’s not for me but maybe someone else likes this sort of thing”, I mean, I even enjoyed one or two of them, but whoooaaaaaa…

This one, this “thing”, is just utter dog’s eggs. No flow, no rhythm, no joy - I completed it only out of sheer bloody-mindedness, and I’m now going to go and rub my face with a cheese grater, just for the relief… :wink:

Managed to get this done in an S1 900 ATS. My attempt on the original of this EventLab yesterday was terrible in the extreme… because the track didn’t actually spawn in. It’s certainly a challenge this one and glad it’s been switched from the original A class to S1.

If you have FXX-K Evo (car pass) try DJS’ tune. Shouldn’t take too many tries.

The person who selected this event lab should be fired.

Event lab Hoon RS200, S1900 |quiethush| S1 off-road tune decent. Not a fun event, but Hotwheels-ish.

Finished the season and overall it was okay.

First of all, yeah, the eventlab was terrible. But still not bad enough to come in the ‘top 10 worst eventlab races’ we had in the seasonal playlist, so at least there’s a slight improvement :smiley:

Wasn’t one made by some Youtuber who, after seeing what people have to say about his track, just said he made it as a joke?

I really don’t know why can’t they find any better tracks. Or is it by design so devs ‘official’ tracks look so much better in comparison? Because there are a lot of custom tracks out there that are just amazing!

I already said that the pgg session would be much better if we’d have 1 round instead of 3. 1 round is fun, anything more is just tedious.

Really enjoyed the Forzathon weekly. I love the Buick and an additional reason to drive it around and enter some races is just a bonus. Don’t have much of an opinion on the seasonal stunts. It’s mostly just pick a car, download a highly rated tune and that’s it.

The trial was a bit slow for me, luckily we got it in the first try, but the other championships were a blast! The A800 was just so much fun.
