I would highly appreciate, if you will like my tunes as soon as you used it.

Thanks a lot for your support for my efforts to tune each car individuel for each event!!!

[robotiChart]

Least the m2 could be tuned.

Decent enough trial this week. Borked a first place in the opening event on last lap, too greedy with a checkpoint. Bleh.

Sprint then was grand. Done in 2

[BurmaEK]

That trailblazer😠

[Xbox271987]

Did anyone else notice that the task for this week’s photo challenge is to photograph the Porsche 944 Turbo at Aeródromo en La Selva, but the ingame photo shows El Estadio Horizon?

[SpirantCrayon22]

One thing about Trial always leaves me totally confused. In most races I get team-killed at the first bend and end up 12th. Why me? What is it everyone else is doing that I’m not?

[BurmaEK]

Chances are, you’re trying to drive properly. The less experienced players and downright rammers don’t do that and crash into the corners any way they feel like.

[MrMogtastic]

IIRC it wasn’t supposed to be but I did notice one guy in my trial with aero fitted so that must be the case.

[MrMogtastic]

Yeah as Burma said trying to take a corner properly in close proximity to less skilled/attentive/well meaning team mates means you get ye olde slam a lam.

Of course the ai don’t help. On the second race I had a drivatar drive straight forward into the wall on the first corner to stop me taking the turn and let everybody drive into me. Caught back up the pack pdq so then got pushed out a checkpoint by the rammer in last place. He was double annoyed and all over the road trying to ram me when I caught up with him on the last straight.

[SpirantCrayon22]

I had that, too. Second race was better than the one I mentioned already, I was first for a while but the aero driver was, unsurprisingly, faster around bends than my proper stock car

[Abell_370]

sigh

[Late2daparty829]

For those confused, one of the tracks in the Zero to Hero championship is coincidentally at the same starting point as the current seasonal EventLab. You should still see that EventLab icon on your map, but with a white background indicating the race is part of an ongoing championship. (An orange background is where you go to start the championship.) When you hit “Continue Championship” at the EventLab just hit “Continue Event” as normal. You do not need to hit “Switch to Normal Event,” just stay where you are. The ongoing Zero to Hero will take priority over the EventLab at the same location and the track will just be the normal Las Dunas Cross Country instead of the Caldera Mountain Climb, so you don’t need to worry about starting the wrong event by mistake.

[SpirantCrayon22]

[tommyfon]

Yes, that had me confused at first aswell, but i decided to go ahead since it did say continue championship, and it worked, but i was confused at first.

[wwwREXwww]

The players in the truck were the worst I’ve encountered in the Seasonal. Slamming into others on corners or deliberately pushing players out of checkpoints. I don’t think I seen one Truck driver even try to race clean and fair. Not worth the effort as they have generally put all the other players to the back of the pack with their antics and races are usually lost. I refuse to help these type of players win.

[PD_Top_Gun]

Plaza Circuit in the Trial was full of atrocious driving, as expected. I overcame some nonsense to get through to the front, and then had to spend nearly the entire third lap blocking like crazy to let my far-behind teammates catch up and scratch out a win. Then we get to the sprint and by some miracle everyone gets through that first sharp corner without issue. Go figure. I was able to drive away for an easy win.

I’m currently having some issues with that trailblazer though. Why do those tiny rocks on the slope absolutely murder your car’s speed?
