Cars noted as Seasonal Exclusive are not available in the Autoshow, so grab them while you can!

I hope this doesn’t really need saying but if you’re going to do that RA Championship…

For Pete’s sake do it solo :joy:

This is the first corner of the track the championship starts on, imagine 11 more of these coming into here with 5 being other humans, unpredictable + potentially stupid humans, plus 2 Tankpools/Unimogs will likely barely even fit side by side at the following double left after this.

I always go solo, but this might tempt me to see what all the fuss is about. Not worried about my stats, collisions are @ average of 12, max per race astronomical (305).

7

I’ve posted the playlist and event screenshots that I had from Series 19 with some updates for the current 47 revision in its own thread as not to overload this one with images

8

I seem to remember it was fun, there’s no point even attempting to drive cleanly so yes, solo is the way.

We are waiting Subaru WRX 2022 in Forzathon Shop :smiley: thank you for new weekly race information

The event for this week that I spent time preparing for is the A class GT cars championship that starts at Estadio Circuit.

I havent done the Aston Martins yet, or perfected a Maserati Gran Turismo yet, but the star of this group in A class at Estadio looks to be the 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C. Here’s a shared tune:

SC: 156 849 171

I didnt test every conceivable build of it, but I did manage a lap of 58.609 with this tune. I think that’s now the best time in this car on the board. The previous best was 58.725 by an excellent driver from one of the top clubs … so my tune should be pretty good. The lap before the 58:609 I had a dirty 58:450. It can definitely do better than 58:609.

The build is full aero, rally tires, stock engine with centrifugal supercharger, and street weight reduction. I didnt try builds with sport or race weight reduction because those would be have less pull near top end, the second two races probably tilt toward power, and the handling with street weight reduction at Estadio Circuit was pretty good. Not testing all options is me being less thorough, but I kinda doubt those would be better than what I shared here.

Another good option is the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S. Its definitely not as good as the Alfa Romeo 8C, but I did a 59.376 in it … which isnt bad. And its not a hard to find, limited availability car like the Alfa 8C. Its 100,000 CR in the autoshow.

SC: 962 426 814

I had a previously shared tune with the same build … for a previous trial … but the newer one is probably better as Ive gotten better at fine tuning. If youre not searching by share code, check the date … and the title is “Trial 2025 v2”.

This Jag XKR-S has stock weight reduction. I managed the exact same 59.376 in a sport weight reduction version, but Im pretty sure the heavier, more powerful version I shared is better suited for the 2nd and 3rd races.

I did a sub 59:4 in the Maserati as well, but in an old tune. Havent done a new one yet. It may be the best autoshow option, but I kinda doubt its on the Alfa 8C level.

I may share a tune for the trial … i dont know … havent worked on it yet. But with those races, tunes for the trial should probably be of the max handling variety.

This made me remember that we don’t have the Volvo Iron Knight anymore, and that makes me sad. That thing was absurd.

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. I used multiple cars in the Seasonal Championships, but there’s no actual need to do that.

The Trial, aka Stock Showdown. 1993 Nissan GT-R, PI 626 required, share code 888 541 146

Buggy Nights, B-700 Cross Country, Unlimited Buggies
Alumicraft C.10 tune 106 209 076
Penhall Cholla tune 159 618 829

Home By Midnight, A-800 Road, GT Cars
2010 Maserati GT-S tune 115 063 064
2021 Lexus LC500 tune 108 464 382
2008 Aston Martin DBS [RWD] tune 277 948 725

FH5 Series 47 W3 PR Stunts plus Treasure and Photo Challenges, S2-998 Anything Goes

For the Jump and Speed Zone, I used my Road-tune Mosler, 168 977 121
For the Trailblazer, it’s my off-road Mosler, 109 257 137
That’s an Aston Martin Vantage for the Treasure Challenge [any Vantage works], only one star needed.
Any Drift Car works for the photo.
