I was worried about meta type cars this week (wide open category) but decided to go with what I wanted to drive and tune it the best I could. Thanks for giving it a try!

I got lucky and managed to have but one brush up with a 911 and I was gone! Two wins, which isn’t usually the case for me!

Festival Playlist tunes July 27th - Aug 3rd (Autumn S23)

Happy Thursday Throttle Jockeys! I have quite the list for you this week. I also have posted a couple of Rear Wheel Drive alternative tunes. Couple of tunes that you definitely need to try are of course my trial tune. That Porsche is dialed in for these street scene event. The 72 Chevy pick up is a tune I’m excited to finally be able to share with you guys. Dirt or cross country you have to have this tune. It’s put up to 100-200 times all over the dirt and cross country leaderboards. I’m certain you guys that like to run RWD tunes will enjoy the Ferrari trial tune and the Lotus 99 for the open top seasonal.

Seasonal Tuning method

1. I always go for a stock look - wheels, rim sizes and aero are only changed if it is absolutely necessary for handling and stability.

2. Tunes are always tuned to max performance with max handling.

3. All cars tuned vs. Unbeatable AI on championship tracks in seasonal weather. Tunes are then baseline ran in Rivals.

I again want to thank everyone for the downloads, follows, comments and likes! Remember feedback is important! I like hearing any and all comments on these tunes. There is no “bad” comments. You guys have been awesome with your support.

The Trial: “Sun & Summer” Decade: 1990s 1993 Porsche 968 A800 (AWD)
Share Code: 150-391-292
This Porsche is underrated gem. This car’s handling is insane. While it doesn’t have the “legs” of the RWD drive Ferrari tune it can carry a lot more cornering speed which keeps it up front.

REAR WHEEL DRIVE OPTIONAL TUNE:

1995 Ferrari F50 (RWD)
Share Code: 150-128-412
This car requires above average throttle control. While not considered a “power build” you do need to be smooth on the sticks. This car will reward good driving with some amazing lap times and victories.

FORZAthon Weekly “Shelby Summer”
2013 Ford Shelby GT500 A800 (AWD)
Share Code: 316-775-295
A class tune for an easy road race winner. Overall a very easy FORZAthon weekly this week.

Event Lab: “Sherwood Forest Raceway”
B700 Modern Rally
2005 Subaru WRX STI B700 (AWD)
Share Code: 105-286-919
If you can find a better B class modern rally tune than this one. Send it to me. This thing flat out kills! Make sure you SHIFT at 5,500 RPM.

Event Lab: “Mulegé Grand Prix”
A800 Modern Sports Cars
Lotus Emira (RWD)
Share Code: 434-343-072
Finally came up with a tune for the newest Lotus. This is a fun easy driving full aero rear wheel drive tune. Making a Lotus AWD is just wrong btw….hahaha

Speed Trap: “Gran Puente”
S2998 Anything Goes
Jesko Share Code: 183-064-856
Jesko Murder tune hit 290MPH. Start to the right about 1.2 miles from the trap.

Speed Zone: “Watersplash”
S2 901-998 Anything Goes
Jesko Share Code: 183-064-856
Start to the left and don’t over drive the corners.

Trail Blazer: “Puerta Pétrea”
S2 901-998 Anything Goes
Jesko Share Code: 183-064-856
Super easy trail blazer tune. One and done!

Seasonal Championship: “Show Off”
A800 Open Top Cars
2019 BMW Z4 Roadster (AWD)
Share Code: 148-256-142
No aero tune riding on rally tires on this tune. Tune is fast and consistent. Easy driver here. Like any no aero tune. Don’t overdrive it on corner entry.

REAR WHEEL DRIVE OPTIONAL TUNE:
1999 Lotus Elise Sport 190 (RWD)
Share Code: 899-405-103
This tune rips. Not as throttle sensitive as the Ferrari. This car does everything right and is a blast to drive.

Seasonal Championship: “Rocks and Roll”
B 700 Pickups & 4x4’s
1972 Chevy K10
Share Code: 631-229-891
This truck has quickly established itself as one of the top B class dirt/cross country options. This is a great tune that will serve you well in not only seasonal events but lobby races and rival runs.

Seasonal Championship: “Trailing Dirt”
S1 900 Rally Monsters
#2 Audi Sport S1 (AWD)

This is the car for this seasonal. Fast and powerful for those orange tracks.

That will do it for this week! Good luck and congratulations on all your victories!

[G923Logitech]

Visit the stadium in ANY ford fiesta, exp this one ofcourse… this is so lazy of you devs. It’s one thing that we should report bug in every update but this is not a bug, this is just lack of effort from your part.

[SpirantCrayon22]

i just found this out, too

the question is, of course, does it count as a [redacted]?

[BravoSteelviper]

I didn’t really have a major project this week, but I still tried to put something together for the season:

BAC Mono (Bright lines): 102 516 406
Bentley Turbo R 1991 (b&w turbo): 254 448 402
EB 110 Super Sport 1992 (black lotus): 425 160 620
Deberti Mustang (Orange Stripes): 154 524 178
KTM X-bow (Orange Stripes): 476 026 365
Savanna RX-7 1990 (Rotary Mazda): 165 874 083
RX-7 1997 (Rotary Mazda): 423 789 523

There’s the codes! Now the text.

The BAC and X-bow are apropos of nothing… I was just driving one or the other and noticed that I REALLY liked the stripe pattern on my Man City livery, but realized not everybody might dig that team. The BAC is black and white, and the X-bow has an orange stripe to match the orange on the logo and I switched it up to have white on the body instead of black.

The Bentley is black and white, but also has a little turbo vinyl group on it because… Turbo R.

The Bugatti also qualifies for the 90s, and goes with the black and white trend this week. I added the Oda clan black lotus vinyl group on the rear quarter panels, which gives it its name.

The Deberti features the classic mustang stripes plus a Deberti logo that I modeled after one I found on the Deberti website. I figured more folks would be unlocking it this week since it’s the 80 point prize.

vinyl group share code:
107 035 600

And the Mazdas continue the black and white trim, but they also have a new vinyl group that I made:

vinyl group Share code: 138 557 032
I’m proud of how quickly the rotary logo came together (I used similar technique on the gears as I did with the wavy lines on the Deberti one).

I’ll also point out that the Mazda liveries work for either wide body or regular, maybe because they’re so versa-tile.

[TheGillesMuller]

Thanks to needless fiddling from MS/Xbox I can’t simply share these to my activity feed then go on Xbox.com and copy + paste them here anymore, I have to upload them to my OneDrive which takes a stupid amount of time in comparison, so as is regularly the case also with this franchise something that was completely fine has been made worse through unnecessary messing around with it, anyway…

Started at the back on Wetland and there was an abnormal amount of traffic for about the first third of the race, luckily got past teammates + AI early and avoided the traffic then just drove steady because of how far I was in front.

Similar story on Bosque, started at the front of the humans in that so I was away instantly, no need to drive aggressively so I just drove at 70-80% and made sure.

As peeved off and cynical as I am about the manner that the WR I took from them was almost instantly taken straight back the tune is by ProfessorOW and it is superb.

Will probably run this a few more times throughout the week with the vast choice on offer, I was going to use the MR2 GT before seeing that.

[TheGillesMuller]

I think I’m going to make a bold prediction here.

Series 25 will be titled the B Modern Rally series, where every single thing is done with B Modern Rally.

The rewards will all be B Modern Rally cars with the new additions being slight variations of the existing B Modern Rally cars.

New clothes will be added including a ‘B Modern Rally’ shirt + jacket along with premium prosthetics featuring ‘B Modern Rally’ engraved in them.

And a new emote will be added each week where your character summons a placard and swings it about in the air like a rabid maniac, these shall be…

‘B Modern Rally I love you!!!’
‘B Modern Rally 4 eva’
‘B Modern Rally 4 life’
‘I’m ready to B Modern Rally!!!’

For God’s sake quit spamming this dull and dreary restriction PG, there’s 37 car types and 6 classes (7 if you include X) along with the many Horizon Special restrictions to choose from.

You made the car types + unique restrictions, so bleeding use them.

[Salfox69]

Yes, unfortunately the “old” fiesta doesn’t count. I cleared it with the orange one

[SpirantCrayon22]

gamerdvr.com works fine, picks up clips fairly quickly, I use that usually

[TheWarmWind76]

I’ve become convinced that B class Modern Rally on dirt has taken one of the Dev’s family hostage.

[TheGillesMuller]

Screenshots can’t be got from there though unfortunately due to yet another by the sound of it needless fiddle from MS in March 2021, I tried earlier.

[BravoSteelviper]

Got a 3rd, 2nd, and 1st with the @CashlessPlains8 90 Mazda. I was the 1st, 2nd, and 1st human, respectively. I couldn’t reel the “runners” back in on that first one. I got close towards the end, but ran out of track. I had a huge lead on Carretera, and I got a little complacent. Right before the finish line some of the street traffic bumped me slightly… and I missed the finish line check point. I didn’t even realize that was “a thing”. I turned around and came through the finish line checkpoint the wrong way and still finished 1st by 5 seconds. So… good tune.

The @TonyKartRcr tune landed me 4th, 1st, and 1st. That 4th was totally on me. Terrible race… missed checkpoint, ran into objects in the side of the road… honestly just did well to finish as well as 4th. Great launch/accel made catching up with the “runner” drivatars early pretty easy work.

The lead runner seemed to consistently be a Ferrari TestaRossa.

So in honor of that:

My 80s vibe livery for the 90s car:
644 048 766

Tony and @geistwriter both have A800 tunes for the TR.

[TonyKartRcr]

Thanks for giving that Porsche a proper run down.

[AKAalpac]

Have you got the Xbox app on your phone? If you go to the library on that and find your uploads there should be an option for a link that you just post here.

This should be @TheGillesMuller , don’t know why it was @TheWarmWind76 , sorry.
