Festival Playlist Preview (S27)

No longer confident on my choices. Removing the Vuhl and Elemental.
Adding the Ariel Atom. This one can be down tuned to S1.

pretty sure this is a road tune with rallies, I did a rebuild for this week. along with a dirt tune for pretty much every other modern muscle.

didn’t someone say the VUHL was in the thumbnail?

That was probably me but it’s actually the X-Bow in the thumbnail.

Love this car & if anyone’s looking for a livery for it, gotcha covered. The two tone shading effects are tough to see with just a photo; the quick video is a full 360 walk-around for anyone interested. Still one of my all time favorites.

I love this car too. I have 4 of them with different setups for the various race types and classes. I downloaded your livery awhile back.
It’s great!!

I liked the atom when i tested earlier today. It turned out decently. I still can’t save or share yet … issues. I think you’ll take a shine to it too

Speaking of issues i hope they can get that sorted soon. I like to share and even like checking out other’s to see what is possible if I’m struggling and as way of a tuner trial if you will to see how mine stack up.

what is the issue you’re experiencing? I haven’t heard anyone else mention anything related to saving tunes

File failure code (25) on savings own or downloading community made content, both tunes and livery. Also on custom route or EL blueprints

I was doing research for next week (Vans & Utility).

@TonyKartRcr :

There’s some pretty solid options in the category between the new Syclone/Typhoon, the BRAT, the VW Pickup…

I don’t have any ideas of which direction I’ll go, livery-wise… except for the Vandura which is definitely getting a Gulf treatment like the above link.

I agree with that article.

A bit late, but I’ll give my 5 cents anyway :upside_down_face:

All of them are AWD with full aero.

Camaro ZL1 widebody - 2:45.9 - probably best one in corners, stats doesn’t look that much worse than Deberti Mustang, but it is just slower for some reason
Camaro ZL1 stockbody - 2:48.0 - I guess there is a bug with front aero, I can’t adjust it, so just gave up, maybe can go quicker
Deberti Mustang - 2:44.6 - quickest, but a bit heavy (could squeeze in only street weight), probably better for S1 class
2018 Mustang diesel - 2:45.5; petrol - 2:45.1 - actually surprised how quick that was (probably can go quicker after adjusting gears), in the end used max front tire width, cause it didn’t want to steer
Mustang RTR spec5 - 2:44.8 - better in corners than Deberti (200kg less), but can’t keep up on straights

Sadly I wasn’t able to drop AWD Corvette into A class too. Even despite using all of the tricks. We really need ballast as tuning option in next game.

I was able to drop an AWD '09 Corvette into A class with snow tires but it didn’t have the grip/traction on the dirt to really put its power down.
It was at least 6 seconds slower than other offroad race tire equipped modern muscle cars in my testing.

Did the understeer build have the oil burner mill in it? Could be the extra weight up front?

TBH, it was much more signifiant with my 1st version diesel, which used no weight reduction + sport or race turbo upgrade. So IIRC 700HP and almost 2000kg.
Can’t really tell if with racing weight reduction it would be as bad, cause all other engine upgrades was maxing out at 793PI, so I had to “waste” that 7PI somewhere. And later I just left upgraded tires for petrol version.

It’s a bit early but I’m going to be busy next week so I tried a few Vans & Utility vehicles with readily available tunes for the Spring trial.
Solo Blueprint Race with 11 AI on Aeródromo Sprint (Road). This is a new track with a longish straight where you can reach up to 140 mph.
The El Camino and Sandman HQ Panel were close. I would have like to have tried the Morris Mini Travellers but couldn’t find a good tune.

My best 8 (in order):
1970 Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport 454 (KarmaDriving)
1974 Holden Sandman HQ panel van (DontGivaDeuce)
1991 GMC Syclone (Musten 19)
2011 Ford Transit SuperSportVan (DontGivaDeuce)
1992 GMC Typhoon (Vaxfire)
2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning (DontGivaDeuce)
1983 GMC Vandura G-1500 (DontGivaDeuce)
2013 Wuling Sunshine S (Quantum JAK)

I know it’s early but tested the Trial options tonight just to be sure, almost all of these are oriented towards straight line speed for the speculative + very possibly completely wrong reason I’ll explain.

The 1st Trial of this series used Vista + Marigold, this one starts on Aeródromo so I am going to assume from logic that the 2nd race will be Linea Costera, would be very strange if they leave 1 of the 4 new tracks unused.

Linea is even more of a power track than Aeródromo which is why I leant towards straight line speed with these tunes, anyway results…

C Vans and Utility (Aeródromo Sprint)

GMC Syclone (GreetedDust8, will do better for MC users) - 2:39.977
Holden Sandman (Mustuff124) - 2:40.277
Chevy El Camino (Cashless) - 2:41.095
GMC Typhoon (sp4cekadett, same as Syclone) - 2:41.570
Wuling Sunshine (cezar013) - 2:41.578
Subaru BRAT (GreetedDust8, same as Syclone) - 2:41.612
GMC Vandura (cezar013, install twice) - 2:41.796
Chevy El Camino (SparkChaser87) - 2:42.388
VW Pickup '82 (AvazOP) - 2:42.863
Transit '65 (RD47x500, drags, install twice) - 2:43.564
Morris Mini-Traveller (OliveBlock24477) - 2:44.965
Transit SSV (Tony) - 2:46.083
F-150 Lightning (Tredawn, drags) - 2:46.492
Morris Minor Traveller (Brumthor) - 2:50.204 (awful, just awful)

I enjoyed + was surprised by the Sandman so much that I decided to keep it as my leaderboard entry so I used rewind on the long straight during the Syclone’s run, it is by far the best of these if you’re an MC user though, while it’s Mustuff’s Sandman or Cashless’ El Camino for us auto players.
