Sorry if this is a nuisance to read given how many cars there are, I did want to group them together based on their second (48’s, 49’s, 50’s etc) but there’s so many 49’s that I had to split those up into quarters.

Back to the new ones being in bold, and they’re all on Rallies unless stated in their brackets…

A AMG vs M Sport (Emerald Circuit)

M3 '05 (TGM, slicks) - 48.382
1M Coupe (TGM) – 48.591

M3 Comp (Izzumnizzum, slicks) - 48.682

M3 ’91 (TGM) – 49.016
C63 AMG (K1Z Jumpy) - 49.066
Z3 (TGM) – 49.099
M2 Coupe (ESV Mars) - 49.166
M1 (Izzumnizzum) - 49.199
M5 '09 (xiaoyuge233) - 49.249

M5 '03, Z4 '08 (both HLundh) and M5 '88 (TGM) - 49.299
M4 Comp (K1Z Jumpy ‘M Sport Kit’) - 49.308
M3 '08 and M5 CS (both TGM) - 49.333
M3 '97 (RcR StriKer) and E55 AMG (TGM) - 49.383
M5 '95 (OnlyNaps) - 49.399
SLK55 AMG (TGM) - 49.449

AMG Hammer Wagon (TheDannny) - 49.558
M3-GTR (TonyKartRcr) - 49.592
M3 GTS (Mustuff124), M6 Coupe (TGM) and AMG Hammer Coupe (Flyingdashujun) - 49.616
CLK-GTR (ShaggyScroll660, drags) – 49.675

A45 AMG (LogikJ) - 49.692
M6 '86 (TGM) - 49.716
E63 S (ziperrPL) - 49.733

SL65 AMG (Mustuff124) - 49.758
1M Coupe (K1Z Jumpy) - 49.833
M5 '12 (HLundh) - 49.867
M2 '23 (Boris GstRdr) and C63 S (CashlessPlains8) - 49.883
M8 Comp (TGM) - 49.900
SL63 (TGM) - 49.950
M4 Coupe (SeeyeahBoss) - 49.967
E63 AMG '13 (yama2443) - 49.992

M5 '18 (origalde4650) - 50.050
Z3 M (origalde4650) - 50.075
GT 4-Door (Mustuff124) - 50.317
M3 '91 (Eohgan) - 50.450

M5 ’09 (Dannis6217, stock) – 52.619

Normally my rule is if one of my tunes set me a new PB in these tests I share it for the Trial but not here, the 1M got so close on Rallies that I went and ran it + the M3 on Descansar since it’s the 2nd track, M3 did 1:55.649 and the 1M was 1:54.615 so I’ll be sharing that instead, may try seeing if a slicks build can beat the M3 on Emerald but it’ll still be the Rallies one I share regardless.

I can’t think of any restriction the 1M’s eligible for where it isn’t a strong option, I’m fully expecting it to be up there amongst the fastest in next week’s Trial as well (Super Saloons AWD).

The first track is - cloudy, post-rain. Slicks tires may produce slightly different results compared to the ideal conditions used in the Rivals. It is possible that rally tires may be slightly better for the first track.
I think the BMW1M with rally tires should be good for all three tracks.

Both Eventlabs are not working. Just get a message

“There was an error retrieving the EventLab event, please try again later”

Think we had this issue last time :roll_eyes:

Got worried after first track in the trial, had one player leave and we still lost by half the total. Sighs.

Team pulled out together tho and won next two events, shame about the dive bombing on event 2 tho.

1M on rallies tune

I was just able to run both EventLabs.

This tune for the 2020 Stingray Coupe doesn’t work. It needs stiff suspension to avoid bottoming out at the bottom of the volcano. It loses serious amount of speed.

This tune worked perfect.

Sorry, please use: 110420298

Thanks for the great advice.

Yeah for some reason I was able to not to long after posting. No idea why it suddenly changed, as I didn’t restart the game or anything. It as though it was locked and I had to do something else to unlock it :joy:

I mean this in a constructive way, please give your engagement to tuners that actually care and know about tuning.

Yourself and anyone who uses the stuff players like ‘that’ put out are holding yourselves back and don’t even realise it, along with fuelling their beyond reasonable addiction to downloads which is all they are still bothering with the game for.

yes it happens to me from time to time. Generally if there is no description of the event it hasn’t loaded and isn’t availble. Sometimes switching to one of the expansions and coming back will load them other times you just have to wait

Not sure I understand what you’re saying here. :thinking:

Even that isn’t always going to work. The best advice I’ve seen is to switch to solo mode to prevent bottoming out in HW.

Please give me a working code for the Hot Wheels speed trap! none of the listed ones are here, and only one is here, but I still have 90 km to go before the minimum. what’s going on?

I used the '20 Porsche Taycan. 162 962 341. And use solo mode for best results.
