These are the screenshots for Series 48 Summer which was originally run during Series 36

At the time of posting this, nothing has been confirmed but other than the possibility of changes to the event labs and the addition of a backstage pass to the shop, I expect things to remain as below

This playlist is from a time when my ability to obtain information was limited and official information was beginning to die off

I have included what I previously had plus some championship info that I found on the forums and YouTube so hopefully this is useful for you. The rewards in image 1 are accurate and are from the voting thread.

Still not really felt like playing after such a dull series so I’ve only re-tested 2 of the cars here which are in bold, for an AWD build the modern ones aren’t worth bothering with though anyway…

B Renault + Alpine (Aeródromo Sprint)

Alpine A110 '73 (TGM) - 2:26.647
5 Turbo (Izzumnizzum) - 2:26.930
Alpine A110 '73 (TGM) - 2:27.431
8 Gordini (TGM) - 2:27.648
5 Turbo (origalde4650) - 2:29.516
8 Gordini (AlfaBRO2385) - 2:30.434
Clio Williams (Saeenu) - 2:30.601
4L (LunarRaccoon197) - 2:31.235
Clio RS '10 (Major B Ver) - 2:31.268

Clio RS200 EDC (TenienteMM22) - 2:31.368
Clio RS16 Concept (LogikJ ‘Purist UPD’, FWD + Rallies) - 2:31.985
Alpine A110 '17 (TVR Driving, drags) - 2:32.152
Megane R.S '18 (KGrGunMan) - 2:32.161
Megane RS 250 (cezar013) - 2:33.320
Megane R26.R (SMR B0B 0) - 2:33.178

Never remembered the 2nd course was Gran Pantano so I’ll share my Alpine on Wednesday, Izzum’s 5 is still the best combination of pace + ease to drive though, even if it isn’t absolutely optimal for Pantano it’ll be more like a relaxing cruise in that while still being a goodish pace.

My Alpine is hard to fully recommend for that reason, quicker if you get it right but you have to guide + slide it through almost every corner in the opening + final sections of Aeródromo, could be an absolute menace if used by ‘teammates’ who don’t acknowledge the existence of brakes.

Hopefully I’ll have a bit more enthusiasm back in the following weeks but even here one positive I will say about these re-runs is it allows you to see if you’ve improved your tuning + driving from the first time.

Im kinda confused … is the trial B class Renault and Alpine or Anything Goes? (Cleared up … Renault + Alpine.)

I think Im going to go with the 2008 Renault Megane R26.R regardless. Manual with clutch, FWD and drag tires do a lot for it B class. Managed a 02:25.462 at Aeródromo, good for #78, with that build. We recently had a B class Super Hot Hatch seasonal championship with street racing events … built it for that and it was pretty good. If anyone’s interested …

SC: 263 121 652

Good point. It definitely is Renault or Alpine. The video I took the screenshot from must have been when it was Anything Goes. I didn’t notice that

This is the problem when I’m trying to pull together sources that are not all my own when I’m tired. I’ve removed the screenshot

Thanks. Got my coffee cup now!

This thread seems to be hidden. Does not show on my feed.

Please ignore this comment, as the thread has now been moved to the proper place.

The tune for the trial I shared above worked pretty good.



We were about 3 seconds from losing the whole trial, though. One person seemed like if they didnt have a chance at first, intentionally getting 12th was the next best thing. Teammates …

Here are the cars I used for the difficulty-locked portion of the base-game playlist.

These cars were tuned to be both fast enough to win, and easier for me to drive [I’ve got arthritis and dexterity issues]. They’re set up for auto shifting, and generally biased more toward grip than power, so you’re not going to set any WRs, but they’re easy wins vs. the bots. The links are to 4K YouTube vids of those easy wins.

The Trial Piesta de Resistence, B-700 Road, Renault & Alpine
1993 Renault Clio Williams tune 134 136 735

Up To Grade. A-800 Road, Upgrade Heroes
1979 Nissan Fairlady Z 432 tune 688 977 708

Cosworth a Try. C-600 Road, Classic Sports Cars
1958 Austin-Healy Sprite tune 159 629 675

Weekly PR Stunts. 1997 Nissan Silvia GT-R tune 106 715 902

This week’s Treasure Chest location is also shown at the end of the PR Stunt video.

Your thread with the lists of all the different groups of cars is one of the most useful on here. It should probably be stickied somewhere.
