Thank you!

Many Thanks! :+1: :hugs:

Well this is unusual I happen to have tunes up for several of the SC’s, if anyone wants to try them…

Marathon SC

Honda NSX '92 - 171 354 955 (Made this specifically for Marathon a few months back and I think I have the quickest non-powerbuild auto time with it).

Honda NSX SC

NSX '92 - 147 818 598 (Trial tune from a few weeks ago, much better suited to this than the above one).

RA SC

BMW M3 '91 - 699 671 950 (Again an old Trial tune, made for Cathedral and on Rallies so should work well).

Volvo 850 - 547 120 541 (slick tires, from a Rivals week on Devil’s Pass in RA which I managed to win with this).

Yep, can confirm that, per my previous post

The Marathon is a pleasant surprise. I don’t usually run the seasonal championships in co-op, but I make an exception for the finale races.

Now if only we could get one of the finale races in the Trial.

Good times when the unskippable last race of an FH4 Trial was 3 laps around The Goliath.

7 Likes

True but we could assume a finale race would be the only race of the Trial in FH5.

Series 7, Winter, trial race 3, making the Goliath a must win for a team that already lost 1 race.

You just refreshed my PTSD…

Well hopefully it goes as well when I’m back on Friday as this did, made a blueprint on Unbeatable difficulty, traffic enabled and rewinds disabled to make sure my NSX tune is up to scratch since I hadn’t actually driven it since my Rivals session with it a few months ago.

e

The AI won’t be near these sort of times tomorrow anyway with them being at Highly Skilled, even here vs Unbeatable I was in 1st after just 19-20 seconds.

For this week’s trail, I think my 1999 Mitsubishi EVO VI is good enough for it. This is the time against unbeatable AI.
This tune is more of a balanced build rather than a handling build. It might not be the fastest on this track but it is not slow on any tracks, and this is my personal preferance. But if you prefer more handling, I also have a full areo tune for this car.

Just got a “low video memory” pop up on the one long event lab around the 2:30 mark, roughly. I don’t want to know what it’s like on an Xbox One.

Or I might have been running two instances of something at the same time by accident.

Just noticed that the “Atlantica” event is on the west coast which doesn’t quite match my memory of the physical geography of Mexico.

Did the Hot Wheels jump with a Hoonigan Group A car, and made it!
Couldn’t see any other car that I could use. Is there a list somewhere?

You can highlight the tile in the playlist and select the context button. On Xbox it’s the small button with the three horizontal lines. There’s small on screen instructions for it.

It only works before it’s completed though, for whatever reason.

Believe it or not, it’s a hamburger button.
