Well I finally remembered to share one of my tunes before I’m off until Friday
For the 250 California
SC - 229 218 129
At #133 on Emerald’s board but would be at least #55 legitimately, 78 of the times above it are definitely false and there’s a couple of others but I can’t conclude they’re dodgy with absolute 100% certainty.
As always with my stuff auto is recommended due to how I almost always set the gears up.

The design is a replica of a really existing special edition made in cooperation with Renault Sport Slovenia and Akrapovic. Only 50 cars were made. They came with an Akrapovic “Evolution” exhaust system, got a painted roof with the Akrapovic logo and writing plus numbered carbon badges.
I know not everbody will have this car. If that’s the case. Time to try and get one now!
Is this weeks EventLab the same that crashed the game on certain platforms the last time it was on ?
I have a strong feeling it is sadly.
Also so sad with the d and c class championships, which takes away the fun and the chance of making a good tune sadly.
very hard after a couple of tries, yes, going to have to think about how to do that - it might have been I couldn’t do it before or I’ll have to do 2nd and 3rd races and ensure I win them
With a tuned car there shouldn’t be any problems but in yours, Top Gun’s, Runoff’s etc yeah it’s not a good time, I just went and ran Baja Scramble with the two cars stock…
Very evenly matched in terms of lap/finish times but #1107 has more power (despite awful gearing at stock settings) which really helps on the 3rd to last corner of a lap, the AI slow down unnecessarily there every time and #1107 will be carrying more speed through there than the Class 5.
I only got into 1st in the Class 5 at the penultimate corner of the final lap, which is a shame as it’s by far the nicer of the two to drive, #1107’s stock settings have bad tire pressure, the already mentioned awful gears and ridiculous suspension.
It’s best to drive them on all 3 courses as if you’re on Road, be as smooth as possible as any sliding and subsequent power loss in these gutless things is severe, and hug the inside line on corner entry while going to the outside on exit.
If you don’t mind changing cars I’d suggest both Baja courses = #1107 and Desierto = Class 5.
how t f did you get up to the top? I have robots out-accelerating my stock car; only assist on is auto and ABS, best I’ve managed is 4th with the robots a mile ahead and I cannot see any way of shaving off any time at all! I mean, I’m holding the line where it makes sense, worked out quite a lot on how to get round all the bends quickly (not so much the sharper ones), avoiding obstacles, cutting corners on with the flags, you name it
