These are the screenshots for Series 48 Autumn 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 from YouTube creator RedMaster366. I have included a link to his channel below

This thread may get merged at a later date into the official thread.

Safari (zombiejesus52, drags) - 2:14.268
R33 Skyline (Major B Ver) - 2:14.484 uses clutch + gearbox upgrades

I’ll try and remember to share my tune on Wednesday, I’ll share the Silvia at least, if you’re a bit…weird my Rally Raid is already available as that’s just my tune I used on the Titan.

I only tested the S-Cargo from the car pack as it can fit more power in than the Pao, Be-1 and Figaro, were it not for it’s poor top speed hurting it at the end it’s time would be better too.

Obviously with me using auto the Stagea, Pulsar, Safari and Skylines are capable of much better times, a good Pulsar build should be able to do the Trial + manage the PR Stunts before/afterwards.

But I’ll be honest I can’t remember if in the original I used the alternative/faster route going onto the grass for any car apart from Izzum’s '87 Skyline, all the new ones were though to keep things consistent and fair.

I also have a B700 tune for the E-Type shared for Marigold, I may have another look at that though and delete it + make a new one if I can come up with something better.

Oh definitely going with the figaro for trial. I can do better in the Silvias but i can’t miss a chance to use the little joy machine in “anger”.

Should still be pretty decent, since all 4 of the cars from that pack were out of the question for a stock tires build I would have had to run them all with a basically identical build on Streets, so made sense to just try the S-Cargo, if I were to run them all I’m 99% sure the Figaro would be the 2nd quickest, the Be-1 and Pao are just too light to fit any decent amount of power in for a course like Hilltop.

I would happily suggest a build to you and everyone else here but unfortunately there’s people who only lurk now who I simply don’t trust, heck we had someone straight up steal another poster’s build and try passing it off as their own to the rest of us in the original of this very same season.

here’s a list of the horizon specials category “electric vehicles” with PI, class and “speed” rating

  • stock cars
  • speed is x10 because I didn’t want to bother entering the decimal point
    • 101 here is a “gold” 10
    • yes I know it doesn’t directly correlate with actual top speed
  • NIO EP9 (speed 7.0) has a top speed of 195.3mph
  • DaVinci (speed 7.1) has a top speed of 200.8mph
  • the fastest Extreme E skin is the mostly-red one (scientifically tested)

Unbelievable, I actually remembered to share my stuff for once…

Trial

'92 Silvia - 119 672 789

Did 2:06.310/#85 on Hilltop in auto.

Thought it was fastest auto too but nah I just can’t compete with the stock '16 Civic that’s over a minute ahead of me :s

A Pretty Swede Deal

Jag E-Type - 109 829 785

Ended up doing what I said further up the thread and making a new, improved one, bumped me up nearly 40 spots to #77 on Marigold’s board.

Auto recommended as always with my stuff.

Im probably going to get to most of the trial options but the first one I focused on was the 93 Nissan R32 GT-R. It really is a manual-with-clutch-only kind of option. Its more than 3 seconds faster with MC than it is using Auto.

I tested drag tires first, as I tend to do in B class, and I did a 2:08.9 at Hilltop.

Then I tested stock tires with the stock transmission, which limits the top speed to about 171 mph. It redlines a few seconds before the end of the race. I did 2:08.562 in this one.

Drag tires were overall a fraction of a second slower, and barely did better off the line … drag tires not the best option for this car in B class for any road or street racing event.

Then I tried a build using stock tires and the sport transmission. That got rid of the top speed problem at the end of hilltop, and even though it was about 45 pounds heavier than the stock transmission build, it was about equal to the stock transmission build even before that last couple of seconds of redlining … the gearing probably was helping it overcome the extra weight. I did a 2:08.395 with the sport transmission and there was probably a couple of tenths I left out there … so I’ll share this one.

This 93 Nissan R32 isnt the absolute best car option for the trial, but its a pretty good car. Where it landed on the leaderboard escapes me right now, but it was top 150-ish I think.

Used your tune for the trial. Easy 1st in first and last race, but totally messed up the second! Probably because I normally tune for stability first . Yours was rocket powered! Cheers
