Rivals Challenge - FH5 Edition

Tune is shared now, tinkered with it a bit more and had some luck on the run, managed a 1:37.781 with it.

Apologies in advance to the auto users that try it, it can be annoying + ruin a run if it gets itself bogged down by deciding to short shift into 4th on some of the early corners.

Coincidentally :smile:

Nice - I think that is just quicker than Edward in the R390 from when I looked earlier. Might be out of reach of the Focus, albeit I haven’t learnt the track yet so might well get down to that with some track knowledge.

Excellent tune Zip. I couldn’t get a run I was happy with but I think it’s capable of sub 27. F355 feels like it has the slight edge though.

I love the 390 as well. I prefer mine in a throwback GTP livery from the Electramotive cars that ran in IMSA.

Didn’t realize there was such a following for previous liveries on this one, so guess that was the wrong one to offer…

I wouldn’t say it’s the wrong one. I always prefer racing liveries. That’s just like my preference though.

I for one don’t mind the notifications coming through, if I have time i normally give it a quick try, especially as a few of them are in the lower classes and ones I ran a year or so ago, hence they are in auto with all assists on :blush:.
Plus as you say, it’s all pratice.

Yeah, it’s funny when I run against my own times in those cases bc I find that either I’ve improved considerably overall or I was just really lousy to begin with :smile:

Turns out @TheGillesMuller wasn’t out of reach of the Focus. Super hatch back in front on a 37.2.

Can’t get anywhere near that using my current tune (doubtful I could wit another one btw :grin:).
I hope to have time enough to test both my stock and V8 engine versions.

I broke 1:40 in 458 without looking at anyone’s ghost, that was today’s goal. started at 1:42 with @TheGillesMuller tune, then ran TheDannny tune with rally tires for comparison and got a bump from extra power. next round I see what (better) lines everyone else is running

It’s a tough course as there are a lot of places where you can hit stones etc which slow you down, so you have to figure out where they are. However, when I had a bit of time last night and started to get used to it, I thought it actually has a really good “flow”. I do give them a lot of credit for how they put together the Rally Adventure courses.

I’m using the GreetedDust8 tune for the Focus if that helps at all to compare.

Fences are my problem. Especially on the inside of corners.

I’ll also add in that barking dog, I wouldn’t mind clipping it with my bumper on my next run.


gave the rivals challenge a try aswell

Nice time Ego :+1:. Your own tune?

nah i still can’t tune, also used dust’s

And I’m still doing Granjas…

Anyway, my :turtle: tune for F355 is now shared.
name: tapas, SC: 507 685 899
There is some time left, maybe 2:25. I don’t know if that line before roundabout is good or not, I just can’t make the car turn enough if I use road entry.
fun fact: current setup is 0.2sec faster to 60/100mph than any other of my setups. Like, if I move any slider in tuning menu (gearbox, diff, tire pressure, etc.), it automatically jumps to slower acceleration time. I don’t remember tuning menu being that sensitive.

edit: IDK, now that shared tune is showing those “worse” acceleration times. It should be 2.7 and 6.4.
edit2: checked in rivals event, there it shows correctly :slight_smile:

Can’t seem to find that one. I assume it’s engine swapped? Which oc has nothing to do with me not being able to find it just a question.
