Festival Playlist events and rewards June 13 - 20 (Spring S34)

Noticed this during the summer season and now we have it again - wouldn’t it make more sense for weekly challenges to have upgrade chapters come before any racing ones? Or just allow us to do the weekly chapters in any order?

iirc the jag xjr-15 has pop-ups but doesn’t work for the category (in S1)

I’m surprised they haven’t caught on to not post new topics for their weekly playlist videos, though I see the mods don’t always lock and merge the topics. Or given them a posting timeout for continually doing so.

I don’t think they care and just continue doing it regardless, unfortunately they’re another instance on this forum where telling the truth is frowned upon.

You know first run my game crashed which was horrible. I had to reload it and wait. Then got to use my toyota…which is the first time I ever used it in any race. It did okay…really drove nice on the circuit though.

The Toyota Celica RC ST185 is NOT eligible for the Pop up pop down championship sadly :frowning: Reasons : Either Playground Games dosen`t recognize this car as a pop up headlight car, or it would make the championship to easy to win, since the car was deemed to good ?

Was sad face here as well as I owned the ST162 & ST185 wrc. The 185 was scary fun.

Ramp the damping up past 12 on front and back. I had to give it a grip sandwich, but it can compete and beat them. Just gotta be weary of the rear decel…like a lot of other older cars no matter how much grip a lot of people gave it for this weeks tune in my group that back end wants to slide on the corners. Which one did you use? I want to try something else…I used the 240, the stratos, and was disappointed as well by not being able to use the celica. I like that car. It’s one of the only real rally cars we could of had this week to.

I updated the list further down the thread when I had a proper look at them earlier.

Strange how certain cars are missing from it, any of those 5 I recommended in the post you replied to are great cars though, championship will be very easy and they are great cars to keep for A Dirt.

Was a new checkpoint marker added to the Ice Canyon Hazard Sprint around the 55% mark where you have to make a hard turn in the snow? Would usually get a phantom missed checkpoint pop up around there, but not this week. Don’t remember there being checkpoint flags there in the past and don’t see anything in recent release notes or the Fixed Issues list indicating the change.

Cashless’ 2000gt tune, two easy wins. Nice clean team as well

Glad you had good team. Both trials i ran, first one i quit, had players only interested in ramming or pushing others out of checkpoints.

Some people are just pure … i think people know what i mean.

Edit: finally, a race with considerate players, rare but I’ll take it.

I thought on the second event maybe one player was trying to push me past the CP flags but once away from them it was clean, no divebombing

Riviera & Los Jardines made for a difficult decision because the requirements couldn’t be further away.
Originally planned to take a Whitewalls no aero Cobra that scratches the 3:00 min barrier on Riviera but chose a Rallies no aero SL 280 simply because it’s the latest addition to the class and I didn’t run it much.

3:10 on Riviera Trial pace wasn’t bad and it absolutely killed it at Los Jardines with low 58s laps.

I got divebombed in first trial run several times by same player in a SL 300.

Went for me straight away at start.

Done a couple now with good players.

Bad ones just infuriate the heck out of me.

Going to give cashless’s tune a run now :+1:

I really don’t regret going for regular vintage race tires on my non shared tunes now. It turned my miura and mercedes into circuit beasts. I got disconnected from the game due to a internet update in my first trial lol. I was so angry…but oh well loved running the different cars today. More cars for future use. Only time to keep fine tuning them.

3td race in the Trial is Playa Azul for those who want to know.

Cashless tune is nicely done, kudos to Gilles, another brilliant tune.

That’s the 2000GT tunes for now. Going to see what Rayne and some others have put up :+1:

Had enough time today to go do the FH4 trial twice lol. Had to sneak away from FH5 and get my dirt racing fix in. The gauntlet :slight_smile: Feel better now.

Hey guys. First post for me. Been lurking on here a while. Didn’t have a password due to being on my son’s acct. Shared a couple E-type tunes. One on streets one on rallies. Gamer tag is Izzumnizzum.
