Gonna use your Trial tune later today, do you have a preference between the 86 and BRZ?

In real life the only thing that is not the same, is the front right?

I don’t think I have ever dithered so much over what to use for a Trial, Saeenu has a tune for both cars and there is so little between them that I chose the BRZ because of something as irrelevant as it was the car I had a design on.

Landed in an all-rental car team so I got away from teammates straight away and don’t know what they were like, car felt reasonably good even though I didn’t drive it as well as I could have.

I’d try the GT86 but starting position + teammate/AI behaviour are variables that are too unreliable for finishing times to give a fair comparison for which one of Saeenu’s is the best.

I had very slightly better times in the BRZ but only slightly. :woman_shrugging: I find them very similar (at least with my tunes) but that’s coming from an average driver…
I used the BRZ and it was a battle between me an another BRZ, I got 1st and 2nd my first run of the trial. :slightly_smiling_face:

Edit: 2nd race I started last so a lot to navigate through. :smiling_face_with_tear:

Good to know, I’ll use that one.

Hopefully I can wrap up the Min Meet Max achievement on Wednesday, it’s the only one I haven’t unlocked. It’s kinda pointless but when there’s not much else to do in game, I just start completing the other stuff.

Thank you, Cashless! Used your Toyota Trial Tune, and smashed it!
Finished 2nd way ahead of the pesky AI. And the PR stunts Corvette worked like a charm as well.
Massive thanks to you and all the tuners for the effort you all put in and sharing the tunes here.
Other tuners are available!

Thanks for giving it a go! Super awesome to hear it worked well for you! :sunglasses::blush:

Trial wasn’t bad. Not my choice of circuits but not many are!

Team lost first race, won next two. Ran @TonyKartRcr gt86, had 3 easy wins in the end.

That was my rival for the BRZ tuning! Excellent tune @TonyKartRcr :+1: They put up almost identical times, although I must admit, it took me just a minute to catch up with the 86…:smiling_face_with_tear:

If anyone needs, there’s an icon on the map for the stadium location picture…

The SL65 is awesome :ok_hand:

It’s about time we have the trio back. 599 GTO, One 77, and now the Merc SL65. I missed this car.
