Is it correct that only the F458 is 800pi in the 20th Anniversary series MP with the other 3 staying at 700pi? Haven’t had chance to check in game yet. Thx.

Does this series have spec upgrades for its BoP or are both cars using their stock builds?

at least for this week yes

So is it a multiclass event with one group for the Ferrari and one for the others?

yeah it slowly turns into a multi class event now

Just had a couple of races. Yes it’s now multi class.

Strange decision imho. The previous cars are competitive tuned to S800 so there was really no need at the moment to make it multiclass.

I embarrassingly ran out of fuel last race even though I put extra in. I recommend 2 or 3 laps worth extra than the estimation on the grid.

Current Lambo series is good

I don’t think the MP 20th anniversary series is as good being multiclass. Bit disappointed.

Presumably the next car will be S class as well (although not sure that’s ideal for the P1) and then the GT and Porsche in R class. Agree though it’s disappointing. Was looking forward to trying an S class 350z.

Even if they wanted to make it multiclass, just allow us to use any of the 4 options in each class.

I tend to agree, having the Ferrari on one side and the other cars on the other, I’m not a fan, especially as unfortunately the Audi isn’t competitive enough.
I think this week I’ll be driving more in the lambo super trofeo series !

Does the blue font mean anything on here? Haven’t seen it before:

Yeah I was wondering about that myself. Couldn’t come up with an explanation. Also, what does the steering wheel symbol mean? :sweat_smile: @T10ManteoMax

Steering wheel symbol means out on track.

Yeah, I’ve asked about that already and someone replied that blue drivers are new in the lobby. This might be true, I guess.

I don’t think it’s new joiners.

I joined a lobby fairly late and was blue.

I’m Wondering if it’s whether a player has completed a qualifying lap.

I think it’s related to joiners. When I am scrolling through the player board and a new player joins the board jumps and the new player is marked blue.
Doesn’t happen when I haven’t selected the board.

At least this was the pattern I thought I had recognized.
Still see no reason behind it.

Is the 2018 #63 Lambo Super Trofeo a Formula Drift car? :winking_face_with_tongue:
It slides like one.

I don’t know why but everyone else’s F458 (in the 20th anniversary races) seems quicker than mine even though I’ve tried a few different builds.

Could also be that I’m just not good at driving it.

As a general rule for me personally, the faster the car the slower I am!

Also down to A safety mainly due to track limit penalties which I still say are brutal at times.
