Ferrari 599 GTO (Rayne SE) - 52.903

Very unlikely I’d be able to improve the good cars with my own tuning hence why I only had a go here with the two slowest cars from the original plus the DB11 which I used my own tune for back then.

RA Championship a good place to pick your car + tune for next week’s Trial since it’s also A Rally Monsters, starting on Fuera Del Camino which is probably the most similar Mexico dirt course to those found in RA.

A meh team in the trial

First circuit, had a wall runner gain silly amount of time in front of me.

Team lost the second event badly.

Third we were lucky to win at the very end.

Everything else was grand.

Maserati SUV did the pr stunts easily.

Like clockwork, whenever there’s a higher-powered Trial on road circuits, a couple of AI run inhuman times and are completely uncatchable. Two of them were three seconds clear of me on Estadio when I had a clean run, and likewise they were five seconds clear of our leader on Los Jardines. I just do not understand how a racing game can get the “racing” part so incredibly wrong so often. Fortunately we won both of those fairly easily, but we didn’t have a prayer on the middle circuit (just one runaway AI there that I nearly ran down).
