As for Trial/championship vs rivals times discussion.
I think Rayne summed it up pretty nicely here → Series 32 Festival Playlist Preview - #264 by Rayne_SE
IMO it is better to check car performance in rivals. It is possible that quickest rivals tune won’t be the best for Trial though e.g. extreme grip build, but you are stuck in traffic and there is no way to use its full potential. So keeping that in mind you can still find best setup.
Next thing I wanted to mention is changes to rivals. Or maybe what I’m missing in it.
Split times are #1 on list, followed closely by being able to delete your ghost, being able to use car/tune from player on LB (although don’t know how to treat cars from $ car passes), being able to post multiple times, etc.
I was also thinking about “custom rivals” where you can add different restrictions. I even had thread in suggestion hub, but I guess I’m in big minority

And now I feel bad about how I opened our conversation yesterday 
Sorry to hear that, stay healthy
