Two easy wins in the Datsun. Only 4 of us finished the first race and stayed for the second. Had to back up the ai in the second race but the Datsun drove away then.

Tidy as always!

Festival Playlist Tunes July 6th -July 13th (Winter S22)
Happy Thursday Throttle Jockeys! Here is this weeks seasonal tunes fresh out of of the shop for your enjoyment. This week you will find some RWD and FWD tunes thrown into mix. They are all fast and easily controllable for some easy wins!

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.

Here is a C class road based tune to complete this weeks FORZAthon

Trial “Tune It Up” Datsun 510
1970 Datsun 510 (RWD)
Share Code: 115-365-913
I realize most of you would rather eat unseasoned broccoli than use a RWD tune. So here is my challenge to you. Go download your preferred AWD tune. I would recommend @CashlessPlains8 tune. Run the trial and then redo it with my RWD tune. This is a handling RWD tune not a power build. That said, it does have impressive power and acceleration to match it amazing handling. This tune currently has a few top 200 leaderboard times so it well tested and proven! I firmly believe the 510 is better in RWD form and it’s a hill I’m ready to die on…lol

Tracks for this weeks trial:

  1. Wetland Charge Street Scene
  2. Granjas de Tapalpa Street Scene
  3. Canon Run Street Scene

TREASURE

Win a drag race in a '70 Dodge Challenger (tuned to A class - no idea if it’s necessary but the clue wording made me do it just to be sure).

:sunglasses: to hear! I had similar results myself! :grin:

Anyone reading who is competent in a RWD tune should give @TonyKartRcr’s tune a go! As far as my rivals LB’s notifications are concerned…its super fast! :joy::+1:

Nice enough Trial, both tracks are good for starting as there are no early tight corners for carnage to ensue.

Nice steady run on Wetland but drove Granjas appallingly, should have been into the 2:40’s there.

Tune is Saeenu’s but it’s a little down on power for these 2 courses, was just fortunate that my teammates had either the rental or what has to have been a poor tune because I got away from all of them on launch + acceleration at the start of both races.

:joy::joy::joy::joy: I kept tinkering with my 510 tune up to basically the last minute. I saw @Nursemorph popped up there with a big time and I had to go and give chase.

Usually I avoid playground games, and now I remember why:
Some people just HAVE to drag it out, even if their team CAN’T win anymore.

Argh.

I was bested by @Nursemorph too but I was at the limit of my driving skills. :smiling_face_with_tear:

It is necessary. I did it in C class first (just what I had it at before). Then I re-read the clue, and threw Tony’s A class drag tune on it.

Also!!! Important!!! There’s a major history of treasure hunts getting messed up by using eventlabs, so I recommend AGAINT using an “easy win” eventlabs to do the drag race. Just pop into solo and you can adjust the difficulty level. Many a week was messed up by the eventlab bug back in the day.

“Solo” as opposed to “multiplayer”. You can change the difficulty just fine in “Horizon Life” or whatever that mode is called.

Doesn’t matter if you win or lose, just partaking gives you the 3 points.

They changed it a while ago to stop the rage.

Made a tune for the Datsun 510 for the Trial. SC is 113 027 888. Now to download @TonyKartRcr & @CashlessPlains8 tune to see how much better they both are, (which I have little doubt they are). By the way @TonyKartRcr, I love unseasoned broccoli, but I’m sure I’ll love your RWD tune as well.

You don’t have to tell ME. :grin: Also, “a while ago” is quite the understatement.

Thanks for considering my tune! :grin: I have no doubt that whatever you come up with will be more than competent! I get rivals notifications from you as well! :wink:

I wish they would go back to the money on the Treasure Chests.

Either that or put some half decent i.e. HTF cars in the Forzathon shop like FH4.
