It is 90’s BMW after all. Don’t know why the original thumbnail couldn’t have said that.

The HW stunt looks like a speed trap, not a danger sign.

That B700 trial with 90s BMWs looks like its going to call for a handling build. But you know hardly anyone is going to come prepared and its going to be a drag race into a 10 car pile up at the first hairpin.

For that HW championship, i think id recommend a 90s Bugatti with drag tires. I think i shared the one i built this week, but an A class build for it hard to search for because the stock car starts in S class. The car is suited for speedier courses but I did under 2:40 at Emerald Circuit in this weeks trial. It wasnt the best car i used in this weeks trial but it was the easiest to win in … it put a lot of distance on everybody at Reservoir Sprint before the first braking zone.

I found only one car that could handle well without rallies that being the 850…the rest I added rallies to. Sadly the rallies really restrict take off, but I suspect those out front are going to end up like you said. Piled up in a ball while we coast on by zipping around corners while they rage ram everyone in response.

When a new series starts, we should be able to click in the right stick to see the restrictions for the entire series instead of just the current season.

Yep, i called it in the other thread, made sense with the title.

Already tested the available cars and the 850 is the most solid and quickest (for me anyway) over the 3 laps combined.

Ready to go :ok_hand::beer:

That would be the most sensible approach.

I’d prefer to know everything on Friday so I could start tuning over the weekend.

part of the reason I prefer it is so people have less time to do less tunes

idk, it feels more exciting and competitive to have limited time

not to bring up real life but the past few days I did more normal stuff, instead of tinkering with cars. the late thread was almost a blessing.

Shame about the Trial, gone from hopefully having multiple sports cars, SUV’s, a supercar, an EV and even a 3 wheeler available to just 4 options, one of which is total dross for at least the first track (the '97 M3).

Could have at least made it pre-2000 instead. would have had much more variety then with the 2002, M5 '88, M1 and Isetta available while still sticking to the series theme (which has been pretty flimsy anyway, like tomorrow it’s possible to go from driving the 1953 Corvette in one event to using the 2019 911 FE in the next).

By the looks of it next week will be even more of a loose interpretation, possibly in a 1929 Merc SSK in the Trial one minute then doing the PR Stunts in a 2023 BMW M2.

I mean what constitutes retro is debatable but I’m fairly certain nobody would try to argue the case for a gap as big as 94 years :joy:

I just realized this, what a waste, the 80s cars are perfect for this trial

I’ll share my tune for the '91 M3 for the Trial and the Capri for the SC tomorrow.

M3 did 1:01.178 for me on Cathedral, M5 1:01.645, 850 was 1:02.579, M3 '97 with someone else’s tune was well off at 1:03.680, that was on stock tires but I don’t think street tires would make much difference to that, both are bad tire compounds for Cathedral beyond the opening 15 seconds of it on all 4 cars.

Capri has become a favourite of mine in C class, done a bunch of top 100 times on street courses with the tune in the last few days, just a shame there’s no track listed here though, I’ll unshare it if it starts on Ruta Norte, Carretera, Highland Climb etc, would still be ok enough on those tracks but you want power on those courses.

in retro-spect (pun intended) I would have made each season a decade. 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. playground, I’m available as a creative consultant for $50k a year, fyi :wink:

I came up with 2 tunes i really liked for the trial that are no longer eligible, I’m sharing them anyway:

i4 - truly underrated RWD EV (224 332 410)
X5 - turbo diesel on rallies (163 852 064)
