Festival Playlist events and rewards Mar. 9 - 16 (Autumn S18)

Subaru Brat is a nice A class off-road. Liked its suspension.

It lacks a 4speed drift transmission with 4WD. This unfortunate situation also affects GMC Jimmy and International Scout. While 1975 Bronco, 1945 Welly, and Jeep Renegade can keep 4x4 and add the 4spd drift transmission.

Handa Ridgeline have better steering response compared to equivalent Ford.

Championships fun and no stress enjoyment of selected routes. In both Dirt Championships our convoy decided to lose to the drivatars in second race to enjoy a third.

Best scenery was the Hooligan Bel-Air.

Both event labels are good, with the B class retro rally being better and actually worthy of adding to the main map.

It’s nice to have the extras in the Autumn season like the piñatas :piñata:. Usually the Series starts with a bang with much less to do in later weeks.

But it makes up for it with a huge spare tire to hold the engine in place :joy: Have to say that’s a first…

Yoink! I’m still finding a role for my Brat, but may too go for the double-dip. :+1:

Is Yellow Submarine a banned phrase?

Alright, I’ll admit I was pretty skeptical about this one, but I can’t get the smile off my face when I’m driving it! :smile: Power & handling is so nice with this upgrade.

Sticking with the Hoonigan Monster theme, here’s my power build, Rally X contribution for anyone interested. Hope you enjoy it!

Tune SC: 259 166 223 “4.0L F6T Rally X”
Design SC: 101 248 441 “Monster Brat”

It wouldn’t let me save with “submarine” in the title. “Sub” was ok. Some of the banned words KINDA make sense. I can’t really figure out the submarine one. Seems like it pulls from a giant text file that nobody actually read.

@BravoSteelviper , it’s AU, Artificial Unintelligents. Specifically designed by Microsoft.

There’s two sets of rules, too. One for titles, and one for descriptions. You can have a vinyl group called “x-wing”, but it won’t save if “x-wing” is in the description. And we have to figure out by trial and error, because it won’t specify which word is triggering the block. Oh well.

My current project is a Green Day album cover and I’m going to skip the label on the munitions just in case they would take issue with that particular pseudonym for excrement.

Yas, this event lab is really good.

What about using Boat ?
That’s the correct terminology for a “Sub” in the Naval world. All Submariners (well at least in the RN) define them as such.
I agree it seems like a crazy word to ban though.
