Really liked that Red Bramble Raceway EventLab. Nice flow to the track, good scenery design, all-around well done.
Agreed; a pleasure to drive a properly designed track with well thought out intent for flow & cornering. Very nicely done @HokiHoshi 
Trial went three races because of some utterly atrocious driving (and the requisite runaway AI) on Playa Azul. We even had a token maxed-level player who finished dead last twice. I’d say “I’m not angry, just disppointed,” except I was plenty angry too. Lookout started me in dead last, so I had to work through all sorts of nonsense to get near the front. Fortunately I was in 7th to start Estadio, and I soon worked my way to the front, but even then one of my teammates caught me near the end and saw fit to bash into me a few times and steal the win. Y’know, because that was a totally necessary thing to do. I don’t know how so many of you do the seasonals in co-op, because one Trial gives me more than enough human interaction for the whole week. After that all I want to do is work off my frustration by bullying the AI.
Had a similar experience running the Trial tonight with 3 friends. The ‘teammates’ were more intent on wrecking than winning but it’s why I always do the seasonals in a convoy with friends
This week has seemed particularly bad trial wise.
I ran the trial twice (was helping friends through) and both times had randoms who just wanted to see the world burn. Actually had a random obviously and actively try to block me and let the AI by.
I eventually got by and we won Estadio and the Trial, but it’s like the quality of teammates got turned down a notch this week, and it’s near the bottom to begin with.
Maybe I just got spoiled by the fun and breezy trial last week.
I will never get the go full out towards a corner and ram the wall…or hey how’s it going team mate let me just knock you off the course so I can get ahead of you instead of the AI. I have a feeling next weeks trial will be worse…a lot of folks are going to be using FWD…which is going to be interesting. The last time we did this on lookout and downtown with FWD builds it was carnage with people spinning out.
I’ll hang myself so far out the window to purpote this is a representation of the society today (behaviour wise).
I know you have no interest in my points of view but I have to agree with this statement.
As far as society behaviour goes, I think it’s always been there but some people in society don’t realise that getting along, helping others, and being part of a decent group of people in this world is the better way to go. They look at themselves as the underdogs because they haven’t got to grips with the fact that all people in this world need to be part of the decent community and just think that their only option is to try to fight their way out.
When it comes to the game itself, I think most of the players are new to the game and don’t get the concept that clean driving and respect for your fellow members (in society and game) is the only way to progress.
I reckon that, as far as most of these bad team mates issues that many have experienced this week goes, they fall into the new player sector or the “I need to to beat all others” despite what it does to the overall result.
The sooner these players realise the way to go is “be respectful to others” is the better for all in the game - and society as a whole.
Ever fancied doing a Scottish Saltire… Asking for a friend lol
Of course I’m interested in other peoples views. Even more from somebody I know since quite some time now. 
I guess I’m old enough to say that it wasn’t always like that. You of course always had such people around but IMO it has gotten much worse in the last two decades or so.
I could write an essay about what I think are the reasons for this but this would go beyond the scope of this topic. Fact is that PGG allowing this and isn’t even trying to countersteer doesn’t makes it better. And yes, I think they’ve some kind of (educational) responsibility with such things.
They literally set the Trial up as a team event so you’d think people would get the message… Or maybe not
Definitely agree PGG have some responsibility to make players aware of what’s required and expected
Oh that’s sweet. I’ll have to look up his creative hub and see what I can do with it on a car
Yeah, BSV’s your guy for that one 
Not sure if it’s been shared as it was a personal request from me that he was well invested in.
He’s done one for all the other UK nations as well - more for the challenge rather than any personal interests.
I think there was more teamwork in the Trial when the game first launched.
The ai was more challenging so you actually needed teamwork to win
Now the ai is so awful that you’re really just racing your teammates.
It fosters this mentality of if you aren’t first, you are last.
Agreed but I still think the issue at the moment is more related to the last sentence.
The whole team win part of the event has been lost to many of the current contenders.
I’m more than happy to let a quicker team mate pass and block the AI to help others out even if I’m in the lead anyway.
Good example…of what AAORTA is talking about with team work…just go back to FH4. It has only become worse the past few months if you still play. It’s like wreckfest with corners and poorly tuned cars. I miss those days in Forza of blocking AI cars or seeing a rogue AI go after a team mate and without hesitation coming to their aid. The team work aspect is the one thing I do miss. That is why I come here to learn and do something team mate related. We chat…we tune…we paint…etc. To me I have since forgotten a lot more about that negative stuff since chatting on here. Every time I get corner bombed or have a car push me half way around a track (yeah happened in FH4’s porsche trial this week)…I am just like meh…back to the forum something interesting has to be going on…new livery or new tune. All is then forgotten lol.
Haven’t played FH4 in a long time now. Sounds like it’s an issue over all the games.
Possibly a similar problem with newer players picking up the game and just not getting it as far as race mentality goes.
If I had to go back then I think FH3 would be my choice - just more playability than the last two.
