Festival Playlist events and rewards June 20-27 (Summer S35)

hm . . . not so sure about that - there is significant scope for keeping it going; it’s a robust base, they have tried different things like the puzzle trails or whatever they were called, another DLC is very possible

time will tell!

Can’t see your time either.
Fun part is that if choose someone with slower time in “gap to rival” it shows how much quicker my time is. So it looks like it is there, just not showing :rofl:

Since last update my rivals boards are not working correctly. Long loading times, errors, lost connections, etc.

@CuriousGirl2591 Thanks for checking. Does it end with 888?

Oh yeah, I didn’t even notice that. So based on that, I ran a 1:43.537 on San Juan & 2:48.935 on Línea. So, have others experienced that they will eventually show up or are they just lost in limbo now for good? Not sure I feel like re-running them just to have the same issues…

That is weird. I checked my times and i don’t show up either yet i know i where i should be as i was quite pleased with my times this week.

San Juan was a 1:41 - i know this because i beat Beermachines time of 1:42:379 and then one of my club members who was on 1:42:002

I can’t even check your time @Bravo437 as the list goes blank around the 1:43 mark and then returns sever error message…

Edit: so i finally could get down into the 1:43 times and the only 1:43:537 times are L McQu3en, Whoozitz, Ezgame06 and Rainbow Trout 13.

I’ll probably wait until Autumn with any decisions :wink:

PS. Anyone have found a niche for SierraSierra EVO?
No matter what I do, top speed caps around 260km/h, but also haven’t found handling build that I’m happy with.

Have to say, really like the multiple paint options for the new Dark Horse & had to spend some time on what felt like a fitting design. This is a dark metallic flake combination across the car, incorporating the Mustang & custom “Dark Horse” logo. Thought it turned out pretty nice. Share codes below for anyone interested. Thanks to anyone who checks it out & hope you like it.

I’ll give it a proper go shortly but will stick to auto and try for fastest, looks like the current one is 1:43.564 at #873 (passed others but clearly nonsense from their assists level).

Edit: 1:42.819, hopefully doesn’t come across the wrong way to anyone but it was simple, RT, stab the brakes on that left hander on dirt section, be smooth and avoid those little plants as much as possible as they can knock off 1-2mph, doesn’t seem much but in a car that slow it translates to a sizeable chunk of time being lost.

Looks like you ended up going with the same build I did for the Evo, would have been nice to see where you are on A Cathedral but I left the game there well over a minute and it wouldn’t even load a rival to let me access the leaderboards.

Nice design. It’s a shame the in game thumbnail doesn’t really do it justice without being able to see the hood and roof and the dark horse on the sides doesn’t shine through on my tv until you get to see it in Forzavista and the open world.

Definitely gonna give it a try on my spare one. Good work :slight_smile:

Thanks, appreciate that. I thought the same thing about the visibility of it in the thumbnail, but I really felt the subtle “inlay” feel of the design suited it best with the “Dark Horse” theme. I didn’t want to compromise that for the sake of visibility to the preview image, so it is was it is I guess. Hopefully it can be appreciated for what it is intended to be, but I also know the challenge of the initial impression from that small image so :man_shrugging:t2:

Thank you so much, I appreciate that!

Still broken as heck…

Off the top of my head there should be Zip, geist and Rex above me there at the very least, and there’s probably others missing below me too.

The Monthly Rivals is definitely Gubbed at the mo.
It seems that whatever time you put up, it defaults the “new” rival back to the original one that you had before completing it.

Maybe they’ve been messing with the leaderboards trying to sort out the dodgy content and it’s somehow leaked into the Monthlies ? :man_shrugging:
Hopefully they’ll find the issue and sort it out soon.

Unfortunate we seem to continue to encounter new bugs. I guess the fortunate part is that at least it is qualifying them as completed & storing the times “somewhere”. I thought I had a decent run with it & my time should be showing between yours & Audible’s. I’d give it a try in stock on the normal Rivals track, but assuming it’s still bugged there as well? (Of course, I’ve also not purchased that car pack & wasn’t planning to at that price).

*Update: couldn’t find it in the reported issues list (sorry if I missed it), so created a topic for voting:

I was just looking at the editors choice tab for eventlabs, for the first time maybe ever.

there’s some incredible stuff out there, it makes me wonder why they keep pushing the absolute worst of the worst on us every week.

The editors choice tab is usually full of the usual suspects that they like to highlight in the festival playlist so often. I think it’s nice when we get a lesser known creator in the playlist.

And now imagine what time you would get if you wouldn’t shift into 3rd gear :wink:
And on tips&tricks you are spot on. One more thing would be to take CPs on “inside”, but avoid plants.

It looks like EVO is a bit like Sierra 700R. I’m using tune from person that did 55.2 on Cathedral, so it is rally engine swap + max width race tires front/back. Or you can go with slicks (stock front tire width) + heavier rims. You can also drop race gearbox to get rid of 0,02 “time penalty” for few kilograms more.
My dirty PB was 55.5. I’ve issues with two things: using lamppost on first hairpin (can’t find right spot) and “sttering” in last hairpin (it looks like I’m hitting “sterring limit” on keyboard and it wants to turn the wheels more than it needs too and I end up losing more speed on exit).
And I may be wrong on that, but it looks like that car have bigger hit box than it is itself. Or maybe that is just Cathedral thing, becuase I remember people complaining about city walls. Or maybe both, cause I can’t remember being clipped so many times in other car.

Hate to cut inbetween your debate but I’ve been so busy with my S1 Track Toys Tunes during the weekend, that I wanted to leave y’all with my favorite ones for the Road Racing Championship. Most of them can be used for both the Track Toy one and the 2010s one.

These are all handling oriented, good for beginners, stock look, non meta and without gimmicks like Rally tires. Not my style.

Ferrari 458 Special AWD 493 237 279

Ferrari 488 Pista AWD 855 509 082

Ford Supervan 3 AWD 102 315 843

or with RWD, just As good 178 209 988

Lamborghini Huracan STO AWD 124 828 179

Lotus 2-Eleven AWD 707 918 338

McLaren 600LT AWD 142 203 636

And now for the Porsche side of things

911 GT3 RS '16 AWD 970 588 252
or RWD 191 648 883
