âQuality is Cashlessâ
Forzathon Weekly Challenge
âNatural Selectionâ
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR - SC 752 301 574 (A800)
Seems like an appropriate title to me, as PGG always seems to work a modern rally event in somewhere! 
At least this time itâs A Class and I have a fresh tune for the street! 
The Trial
âTune It Up: Honda S2000â A800 Honda S2000
2003 Honda S2000 - SC 114 204 727 (A800 WB)
2009 Honda S2000 CR - SC 669 718 907 (A800)
Two cars to choose from this week, so Iâll offer tunes for both and let you decide! The 03â is rolling in a wide body tune and is my personal favorite of the two. 
The first race is Volcan Sprint, so expect a ramfest on the first couple of turns. 
Eventlabs
âPurple Mountain Racewayâ A800 Anything Goes
2003 Honda S2000 - SC 114 204 727 (A800 WB)
Great in the Trial and works awesome here as well! This is a hot car for a cool track! 
âRally Rampageâ A800 Unlimited Offroad
2018 Deberti Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - SC 762 155 251 (A800)
This oversized offroader is ready to rampage! 
Seasonal Championships
âWe Came To Raceâ B700 Muscle Vs Tuner
1970 Datsun 510 - SC 162 510 222 (B700 WB)
1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi - SC 670 226 114 (B700)
1984 Honda Civic CRX Mugen - SC 226 221 279 (B700 FWD)
Are you going muscle or tuner? Any of these will get the job done and have you on the podium in no time! 
For the more adventurous, the CRX is FWD! 
(Only FWD to pick from I believeâŚ)
âPlay Timeâ S1 900 Track Toys
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE - SC 182 256 173 (S1 900)
When I think track toy, do I think Camaro? No! Others probably donât either (
) but theyâll wished they did as you cruise on by with The Dead Milkmen blasting your favorite Camaro tune! 
âItâs A Custom Jobâ A800 Rods and Customs
1964 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport 409 - SC 481 127 146 (A800)
Yep! I put a classic lowrider in the dirt! I kept the low and ditched the slow, now this classic is ready to go! Forget the Boneshaker and be a risk taker! Impala the competition with this tune! 
Rally Adventure Seasonal Championship
âA Little Pick-Me-Upâ B700 Pickups & 4x4âs
2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class - SC 295 841 575 (B700)
First race is dirt, second race is asphalt. That made this championship a little tough to tune for⌠I lost less time on the dirt track with street tires than the dirt tires lost on the asphalt, so Iâm offering the street tire tune!
HW Seasonal Championship
âBurning Rubberâ A800 Hot Wheels
2005 HW Ford Mustang - SC 593 209 883 (A800)
Do the HW thang in the HW Stang! 
PR Stunts
All main map stunts⌠C600 Cult Cars
1973 AMC Gremlin X - SC 117 480 011 (C600)
Easy with this Gremlin!
HW/RA Stunts⌠S1 900 Lotus
1999 Lotus Elise Series 1 Sport - SC 278 272 380 (S1 900)
Stay out of the water as much as possible in HWâŚ
Thanks to everyone for the continued support! Hopefully these tunes work well for everyone this week and as always thanks for keeping it Cashless!! 
Happy driving all!!

So my vinyl groups for this week I started working on some Wednesday themed stuff:
The nevermore logo is what I put on the Barbie Corvette. Iâd eventually like to completely Wednesday it out with the cello poster, bats, chefâs knives, etc. But thatâll take some time.

I had horrible teammates today myself. Started in last on Volcan went to first and then no help from the others. We lost it. Second race, NP they at least beat all but one drivatar. Gave us the win after 2 races anyway.

Absolute carnage in the first 2 corners of Volcan but pretty much all because of the AI rather than the humans, was bumped from pillar to post between 3-4 of them but straightforward after that though, being the only one with AWD on both teams I passed everyone straight from the start at Dunas Blancas.
Tune is by Bard, not sure what I originally installed it for but itâs been sat there ages.
I certainly wonât be trying this week another 9 times to try and get to the 2nd race again.

So Manchester City are the light blue ones, and Man United are the devils.
I have vinyl groups for both! But the Manchester City ones have been KILLING it lately (the team has been successful of late), so Iâve been focusing on them. If anybody has a car theyâd like Red Deviled up, I can totally do that, too!

hate Manure myself, only team from here that I always want to lose - no, Iâm not a Liverpool or City fan, and never hated teams due to success - only their attitude
favourite football matches for me (aside from my team, of which there are not many) generally involve those where Liverpool or City annihilate them, or where they fail to beat some minnow or other
nb - I donât hate Manure fans, worth clarifying, best mate has been one of them

@CashlessPlains8 used the 2003 and made easy work of the trial. Avoided any carnage on Vulcan for maybe the first time ever but the same canât be said for the rest of the team. Won Dunas Blancas easy enough and gave the last away. Very easy to drive but ugly as.

Here are my picks for this week, maybe somebody finds anything useful
The Trial Honda S2000
A800 Street scene â Honda S2000 CR â09 â 322 053 409
Edit
Optional tune of same car with more power and weight, slower in my hands, but many seem to prefer power, so here - 100 332 587
PR Stunts
C600 Cult cars, cram stupid amount of power into some lil box, again thatâs not tuning, its garbage, this time it was Renault 4L with 360+ HP on stock tires, yeah that works just fine âŚ
Event Lab
A800 Anything goes and Unlimited Offroad
There is Jeep Trailcat â 107 386 030
But Iâll just use my DeBerti F-150 Prerunner â 771 962 504

Street scene B700 Muscle vs Tuner - Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 â70 â 311 171 375
Dirt A800 Rods and Customs â Hot Wheels Bone Shaker â 131 102 866

Although it might need to wait on its chance, A800 is a bit much ⌠Maybe A701 
Forzathon car â A800 road Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII MR â04 â 175 853 007
Hard charger skill is burnout + speed in limited amount of time. I got it from standing still, a lil help with handbrake turn and flooring it helps a bit too.

Iâve lived in Manchester all my life and no offence to Bravo you couldnât pay me to drive a City or Utd liveried car, Utd have mostly awful + blinkered fans who were even worse in their glory days and City as a club to me are the biggest embodiment of all that is wrong with modern football, along with a chunk of their fans now becoming exactly what they used to hate about Utdâs.
Iâd much rather sit in a pub full of City fans though, you can barely hear yourself think when a Utd match is on in one.

I didnât enjoy the other one of whoever made it. FOUR MINUTES tper lap times two, and I couldnât see a thing in the fog.

Hadnât checked what the smashables task was this week until fast travelling to the seasonal championship and landing on one of whatever they are. Completed the rest while the co-op championship loaded up.
Glad to hear the tune worked well for you even if the car isnât the most appealing to the eyesâŚ
Thanks for giving it a try! 
Yeah, I donât really follow football, but for whatever reason Iâve been getting tons of downloads on the City liveries, so Iâm going where the downloads are! 
So I did the trial (team human basically shut out the computer on Volcans, and didnât have much of a problem on the second race). I scored second place on the second race with the @CashlessPlains8 wide body tune. First race I was happy just to survive the carnage and have the team do so well.
I was surprised to find myself with 18 points after the trial was over. We got those Syclones QUICKLY this week. I did up a tutorial on how I do those âLibertyâ liveries. Itâs done almost exclusively with primitive shapes (except for the odd paint splats and tears for the stripes). I usually put an American flag on the back, but I skipped it for this one for the sake of having one that anybody could do (without having stockpiled vinyl groups).
