Same here in the UK. My team of six won the first Trial race (I finished 7th out of 12) then found myself booted out of the Trial… Not impressed.
(Update : Same with the HW Snow-Fields Championship. Me & one other completed & won the first race, then I was booted off that too.) I’m not bothering with any of the Championships, anymore today at least.
That’s not really encouraging as I was thinking I’d have to do the Trial through this series since they seem to be on to my FOMO 20pt diet and upped the ante to 40pts a season for the “exclusive” livery on a repeat car at 160pts for the series. Here’s hoping I’m lucky ! And sorry for all those who aren’t.
EDIT : I should have taken the gamble on the Trial… sitting in a seemingly endless frozen black screen with annoying bad muzak playing for over 3 minutes now at the end of one of the stupid story chapters. Yeah, yeah… go to Trouble Shooting and report it there. Sure. Meanwhile I guess I have to hard quit this game. Maybe I should just make it permanent.
EDIT 2 : Oh. For. (redacted). Just adding this here to vent. Well, the Trial didn’t fail the way it did for some, 1st race even started promising until I blew a checkpoint with a little AI weaver. I should have avoided it but I’m rusty. No hope of recovering points I bowed out and hoped the team got the points. After that… repeated rounds of the usual Trial “fun” from both AI and Human (same team ? nah, where’s the fun in that 
) so I quit and went back to the Story Chapter that didn’t complete and froze up. Completed it but 1 second short of 3 stars. Ah well, Retry… and easily 3 Stars… and black screen, frozen again. Same as the earlier one. I wonder how far I can chuck this game ? Oh, right, it’s digital. Dang.
Well, I suppose we’ll start with the good news first: I got my AMG-GT Black. It’s secure and saved to my profile.
Now, having said that…something doesn’t seem right. The sound seems off. Way off. Even for the AMG-GT Black, whose sound issues as a result of European exhaust regulations is well-documented. It sounds like PGG simply used the interior sound for the car, because there is no change going from external cams to interior. Comparing the Black to the GT R isn’t exactly 1:1 because the engines are slightly different, but the GT R also has a noticeable change in sound when on the outside as compared to the interior. So, that’s great. Nice to see that the sound mixing is still an issue.
Aside from that, the car handles great and is very quick stock, which is where I intend to leave it.
Happy to see the trial is A class and street scene. I think the Silvia in A800 is great car choice for these type of events. I was a little worried they would make this trial a B class event. Plus we haven’t had a street scene trial in quite sometime.
So it seems active aero is broken on this and the Pagani.
The airbrake comes up at high speeds.
IS THIS JUST MY GAME?
I havent seen anyone else mention it. So I have no idea if this is just me experiencing it.
Yeah, that’s broken too. I was just doing a comparison on Gran Turismo 7 to try and confirm that I wasn’t just hearing things on the audio, and saw that the airbrake was down there, but up on Horizon 5.
PGG doing PGG things, of course.
I dont understand how this is still an issue. Its such a stupid issue to have. and keep having. Theres clearly a wider company issue as this keeps happening. Lacking QC? Code compiling keeps reverting on certain things? I know from my years of experience with windows that Microsoft software LOVES resetting settings you set. Maybe its treating it like a spoiler actuator, and not an air brake?
But it really needs to be fixed. Given their track record for going back and fixing broken AERO. I have no qualms with raising hell about this petty issue.
Again, this is such a stupid obtuse issue to continue rearing its head. Fix the McLaren P1s wing. Fix the other active aero. And maybe, Fix the two cars aero that you just released. One of which, I paid money for.
Almost 4 hrs in. Still need to do the Forzathon, Photo challenge, 2 Event labs, 2 rivals and 4 championships. This is nuts. I would have been done 1 hr ago normally. It’s too much for one season.
Is this sarcasm?
Oh yea and Goliath too 
. Jokes on us.
You’re the only one in the world who hates content.
When it’s poor and intentionally time consuming, yes.
Don’t the points from the story carry across the whole series?
They messed up the nametag on the 1996 Formula Drift #51 Donut Media Nissan 240SX . They putted #85 Brutskiy instead of #51 Knapik… LOL Beside of that , cool addition .
Is it? Its just a normal season with a story series. Seems a bit more engaging then normal. Unless you just want to get it all over with as quick as possible. Never seen someone complain about actual reasons to play the game. Whats poor about the content? Goliath is fun. EventLabs are pretty much always great. Just more reason to play the game instead of logging on for the hour a week just to plop the car reward into your garage and move on.
Ah, yes, a “normal” season… I forgot the heavy duty bug repellent. It is truly making it a chore this time around. Makes me glad I didn’t pull the trigger on the DLC cars, might save a few dollars. The game loves to discourage playing.
Other than the Aero issues. I’ve found this series much less monotonous than the average seasonal.
