This Miata is a beast! Too bad it’s wasted on HW!
I’m back!! (And feeling much better…thanks for the well wishes all!!!) I hope these tunes work well for everyone this week and a special thanks to all who have downloaded my tunes during my forum absence. Much respect! Best of luck all and happy driving!
Did I miss anything or was “3AM Rush” basically the standard track with different weather, daytime, no opponents, and restricted to Cult Cars? And THAT was picked? Low(est) effort much?
Neither of the Eventlabs has opponents. After the last four weeks I thought they finally made EL tracks have the tiniest point again by adding them back, but it didn’t last very long.
I normally play these co-op. The 3am was a waste of space. The other was a nice track for co-op, maybe drop the class down a few though saw loads of players flying off edges (I fully support that comedy though).
Yup, tunes are awesome. I used the VW Rabbit for the Trial. I would have won it, but a pesky AI car zoomed off. But I finished way ahead of the pack, which is good for me!!
Tune liked and stored for another day
First human for all three races in the trial. We lost the first (I got 2nd or third), won the second (I got 2nd), and won the third (first place).
Those Drivatar “Rabbits” really take off there at the beginning, and if you don’t get them reeled in early, it’s hard to make it happen. I did kinda… dive bomb the Drivatar in that third race to get out into the lead. But if I didn’t they just tear away and it’s so hard to catch them.
Great tune! And I rocked the “black and yellow” from above.
Not impressed by the team this week. Came second in first race, guy just had more pace and I was rammed to bits in the first two corners.
Second were were fighting for third, nothing major but he anna’d same team so I slotted in behind him. He didn’t catch the first two ai so I tried to slow down ai behind and got shunted by my own team.
Third race I drove thru the chaos and into the distance.
