Festival Playlist events and rewards Sep. 21-28 (Autumn S25)

Still plan on doing something for the iX, just not sure what as of yet. But I do have a paint job for the Syclone for those who want to use it for Out For Delivery, and it kind of screams 1991 to me, so much so I called it ‘1991 Dream’:

That’s great. Almost seems like the top layer paint would be “hypercolor”. (That’s a gimmicky color changing thing that happened in the 90’s, for the younger readers.)

Back earlier than I thought and so hungover I could probably pass as a drunk driver but I drove surprisingly decent considering, both those times would be in a decent spot on the Rivals boards and they were both from me starting at the back, I also only took 1 of the several alternative routes on Canon that are quicker than just sticking to the roads.

Team was good enough to win but really strange, borys looked good at the start of Cruce then missed a checkpoint from nowhere and flew up into the rocks on the first corner of Canon Run, and indycar was clearly a good driver as they kept pace with me after the start on Cruce then was stone dead last on Canon + eventually ended up quitting, no rammers or griefers in the team but really odd.

Stuck with the car I tested a couple of days ago (Saeenu’s tune) and it did well, seeing it’s Cruce + Canon made me think Noobster’s dirt build for the '73 Skyline might work reasonably well though, it would make the wider lines on the early parts of Cruce easy and as mentioned above a sizeable chunk of the fastest lines for Canon are offroad.

I’ll see how much of the rest of the playlist I can do now, the Evija will have to wait until tomorrow though, my reactions + control to drive that thing well are barely adequate enough when I’m sober.

Festival Playlist tunes Sept 21st - Sept 28th (S25 Autumn)
Happy Friday to all my favorite Throttle Jockeys! Here is everything you need to go get through the Autumn Seasonal challenges. I have provided a brief description on the tunes below as well as some tips and tricks for the PR Stunts.
Seasonal Tuning method

  1. I always go for a stock look - wheels, rim sizes and aero are only changed if it is absolutely necessary for handling and stability.
  2. Tunes are always tuned to max performance with max handling.
  3. All cars tuned vs. Unbeatable AI on championship tracks in seasonal weather. Tunes are then baseline ran in Rivals.
    I again want to thank everyone for the downloads, follows, comments and likes! Remember feedback is important! I like hearing any and all comments on these tunes. There is no “bad” comments. You guys have been awesome with your support.

The Trial: “Reach For The Sky”
B700 Nissan Skyline
1971 Nissan Skyline (RWD)
Share Code: 672-229-159
Excellent acceleration, speed and handling. This tune out runs them all! If you like RWD tunes you will love this one.

Alternate Trial Tune:
1997 Skyline GT-R (AWD)
Share Code: 148-163-859
This tune was made for Street Scene events. No understeer and an easy driver to get you through the trial with no drama.

FORZAthon Weekly “Super Veloce”
1997 Lamborghini Diablo SV
A800 (RWD)
Share Code: 107-616-312
Fairly easy FORZAthon this week. This is a great all around tune for A class fun.

Event Lab: “Autodromo Del Lago”
B700 Anything Goes
1979 Datsun 510 (RWD)
Share Code: 115-365-913
All of these event labs are perfect this week. I ran them all in Co-Op. This 510 is perfect on this tight twisty circuit. This tune has set several top times in Rivals and is great online as well for just about any circuit/street or trial.

Event Lab: "Mudslinger’s Scramble”
A800 Unlimited Offroad & Unlimited Buggies
Honda Ridgeline (AWD) Share Code: 968-673-886
This tune feels like it was made for this event lab. Easy win and got me the Rivian that you can use in this weeks seasonal championship below.

Event Lab “Playa Azul Scramble”
A800 Modern Rally & Rally Monsters
2018 Subaru WRX STI ARX
Share Code: 113-011-397
This car dominated this event lab in Co-Op. it’s perfectly balanced with some power to run away and hide from everyone. It’s a monster killer.

Danger Sign “Event Horizon”
B700 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Target 754.6 FT
Share Code: 963-711-516
You will get it on your first attempt. Start at corner and get a good run up. You should clear it by at least 100’.

Danger Sign “Desert Dunes”
B700 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Target 721.8FT
Share Code: 963-711-516
This Chevy has no match with these so called challenges… Another one & done!

Danger Sign “Runway”
B700 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Target 1,115.5FT
Share Code: 963-711-516
I hit almost 2,000’ with this tune.

Seasonal Championship: “Hyper Up”
S2 Hypercars
2019 Zenvo TSR-S (AWD) Share Code: 283-112-604
You can find a dozen tunes for a Ferrari. So try something new! This Zenvo is likes to roast Italian cars by the dozen.

Seasonal Championship: “Jumping Juggernaut’s”
A800 Heavy Hitters
2022 Rivian R1T (AWD)
Share Code: 701-240-313
This is one of my favorite “do everything” tunes. All this car does is win! Excellent all around tune that will deliver on circuits, sprints or the streets.

Alternate Tune:
2017 Ford Raptor (AWD)
Share Code: 435-344-779
If you don’t have the Rivian this is a great alternate option. 1,300 HP to get that win.

Seasonal Championship: “Out For Delivery”
A800 Vans & Utility
GMC Syclone (AWD)
Share Code: 117-583-781
Fast pick up here. If you are not using M/C this may not be the tune for you. Otherwise this thing rocks and delivered two easy wins in Co-Op.

Speed Zone “Tres Colinas”
S1 McLaren 570S (AWD)

Yes this tune has slicks. Doesn’t matter though because even on dirt there is enough traction to get that super wheel spin

Seasonal Championship: “Back In Blue”
2004 Subaru WRX STI (AWD)
Share Code: 105-286-919
This tune is infamous. It slayed every trial and race it’s been in. If you don’t have this tune you are missing out!

Thank for giving it a run.

@Stevio2175’s videos are good. I’ve seen some of them. He does a good job. Very useful too!

Not saying Stevio isn’t a good guy but we don’t need youtube streams bombarding the forum.
A simple description and maybe a pic will do though they’re also not even needed for most of the photo / treasure hunt playlists.

They’re nice but he should post them here

How does one stream a non video version? :sweat_smile:

It was more of a general question and not specifically related to the hunt. You seem to have your things in order and know how it goes. Including the advertisement. :smile:

This was a special request to recreate the livery from Grid Legends for the Lotus Evija. @TheGillesMuller: took a few minor liberties, but hopefully this meets your expectations.
(Vinyls are also shared for anyone interested). Thanks & enjoy!

Nice job with all that!

I ended up with about 2500 downloads for my tunes after 24 hours. I was hoping for more but I’m not unhappy with that.

Usually, my seasonal championship tunes do well but my Trials tunes don’t but this time they did pretty good.
I’m happy that my '71 Skyline tune got some action. Even picked up a few followers.

This is the second requested design from Grid Legends for the Evija. @TheGillesMuller: there are some unusual bleed-through points on this car which required relocating the Lotus emblems onto the fenders rather than the hood as in the pics you provided, but I think it looks just as good there. This issue also limited the size of the color inlay on the hood, but still thought it turned out decent.
