So it appears the Desert Flyer really does have to be stock this week, I had Saeenu’s tune on and my only option was the rental car.

I decided to hit the Trial early. It went down great. Humans won first two races no problem. Very relieved it wasn’t a car wreck :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m on my fourth try already. So many dead weights this week.

I feel you. I must have struck lucky with my team.

Yep no fake stock tunes this week! I got it done on the first try again! 2 weeks straight!

PGG also done on the first try!

Adjusting the stock car helped a lot though. Min ride height added stability through the banked turns on the first track.

Ok, finally did it fifth try. Funny thing, the worst human player was prestige 10 level 2999. Some people, really…

Glad you got through it. As for cheater… burn them all with fire!

Easy Treasure Chest this week.

Heights of Mulege jump in the C63 S Coupe, chest is on a mound to the right of the landmark/building if you’re driving straight to it from your landing off the jump.

Great EventLab this week too, aside from a rather dodgy section with the small jumps early on I really enjoyed it, a good little nostalgia trip for anyone who hasn’t played GT in so long like myself.

Considering the limitations when making a track it’s a very good effort at recreating Deep Forest by the creator.

Left the Festival with a fleet of other C63’s and did some doughnuts. That was alright. :+1:

Another really fun race this week. Deep forest was a blast especially with it only being TWO laps!

That week was so easy, had it all done in about an hour.

Ugh…two of the PR stunts required substantial upgrades, as the restriction was an entire class above the requisite cars. At least the Opel one was a cakewalk stock.

2 Likes

Indeed. Don’t get why this is done.
In some cases a car is so close to the top of its original class that a minor upgrade already tips it over the edge. I believe these had some room to spare. Why not just lower the target instead of spending CR? I have plenty to spend but not everyone might.

Getting people to grind is a favourite hobby of game publishers.

Remember when I posted last week about one championship full of opponents with a “(2)” at the end? It happened again, with a couple exceptions this time.

Haven’t done the championships and the treasure hunt yet.

I made a mess of the trial due to unexpected offline interruptions & had to quit. Got it done on my second go in two races. Got murdered in the playground games but just had to participate in that. After a couple of goes, got the PR stunts done without much hassle.
