[Lyudarle]

Is the scavenger hunt the ultimate destruction technique in a stadium? and there doesn’t seem to be a Super GT car below the A-class

[Scimmia22]

@Lyudarle

Is the scavenger hunt the ultimate destruction technique in a stadium?

I’m assuming it’s an Ultimate Wreckage skill on the golf course. But it could be an Ultimate Wreckage skill in a VW Golf. (guessing ‘gold’ is a typo here)

[TheGillesMuller]

Some good options available for the VW SC.

Like any time one of his tunes are usable I highly recommend UnworthyPleb’s Type 2, the '82 Pickup with any of the first 3 tunes running Offroads when you search for B class tunes for it, or Bard’s/LogikJ’s tunes for the R32 Golf.

Mk1 Golf and '81 Scirocco slightly weaker than those but still fairly good choices, should be plenty of dirt tunes to choose from for both of them.

[Lyudarle]

Thank you

*sharing existing code, won’t show as new

Some of my favorites include the GT 4-Door because of the rear (the stripes wrap into pointy things on the back) and the RS7 Sportback because of the front (ironically?) where the stripes merge into a nice symmetrical point which can be difficult sometimes.

Vinyl Groups:

Remus Wolf: 137 012 817
Remus Logo: 139 664 172
Autostyle logo (white and red variant): 159 675 769
Autostyle logo (original): 422 653 389

Featured sponsors this week were Remus (which makes exhaust systems) and Autostyle (car part retailer?). Both were suggestions from @x_ShadowsBane_x
The Remus one was ALL outline and I would rate “advanced”… it was a pain. The Autostyle was much easier and is probably “intermediate”. Far less outline and more that could be filled in.

I also learned a new trick. Before I would edit vinyls in the vinyl editor exclusively (weird, I know, right?) But it was a pain because how it was on the car wouldn’t always match the editor, so I would apply to the car, take pictures on my phone, then patch the holes, fix alignment issues, etc., in the editor. It finally occurred to me that I could just edit it ON the car, and then save over the vinyl group like that. That saved me bouncing back and forth and wondering what it would look like on the car. So in the future I’ll continue to to first draft in the editor, and then finalize on a car. (Or a big van for a bigger canvas.)

[x_ShadowsBane_x]

Those came out great!! Thanks for using my sponsor suggestions and the work you put into them.

My first Trial attempt will be with the AMG SL 63. Let’s hope I don’t miss as many checkpoints as I did during testing:)

[Lostphoenixuk]

To be safe, I’m working on the basis of it being Ultimate Wreckage skill on a Golf course in a VW Golf which covers off all of the possible variables

[SundayDriver585]

That one downhill turn on teo is a rough one. I missed it a lot in the beginning. I am going for the bmw m5a 2009, then the mercedes, and then the bmw m1. My tunes. I actually really like that mercedes…on discord I kept hearing how it lacks top speed. However, I found its ability to turn without braking makes up for it.

[BravoSteelviper]

Turn without braking? That sounds perfect for the vast majority of drivers online…

[SundayDriver585]

I think I have practiced more for avoiding that than tuning lately lol. Taking different lines to avoid the corner bombers…I mean if their is a wall why drive 200 mph at it lol. I got taken out a couple weeks back and cost a trial race from some guy t boning me…no brakes right at the wall…apparently their steering wheel didn’t work…at about 150 mph. Been working on decel lately…to reduce riding the brakes. I can take corners much better now without creating a smoke show.

[CuriousGirl2591]

I’m torn between the AMG which I felt was best on the 1st race and the BMW M1 Coupe which did better on the 2nd. I guess tomorrow will tell all

[x_ShadowsBane_x]

I plan on running the Trial at least twice. The other one I want to use is the 2016 M2 Coupe. That did the best for me on the first race.

[CuriousGirl2591]

Yeah I always run it a few times between a live stream and hanging with friends

[geistwriter]

@Lostphoenixuk

on a Golf course in a VW Golf

better safe than sorry
