The Trial appears to be Sierra Verde sprint.

Ignore the lack of checkpoints further back. They kept disappearing when I went into photo mode.

(From Series 36 Summer Festival Playlist Preview Thread)

TheGillesMuller (July 16)

B Renault + Alpine (Aeródromo Sprint)

Alpine A110 '73 (TGM) - 2:27.431
5 Turbo (origalde4650) - 2:29.516
8 Gordini (AlfaBRO2385) - 2:30.434
Clio Williams (Saeenu) - 2:30.601
4L (LunarRaccoon197) - 2:31.235
Clio RS '10 (Major B Ver) - 2:31.268

Clio RS200 EDC (TenienteMM22) - 2:31.368
Clio RS16 Concept (LogikJ ‘Purist UPD’, FWD + Rallies) - 2:31.985
Alpine A110 '17 (TVR Driving, drags) - 2:32.152
Megane R.S '18 (KGrGunMan) - 2:32.161
Megane RS 250 (cezar013) - 2:33.320
Megane R26.R (SMR B0B 0) - 2:33.178

I’ll be sharing my tune on Thursday.

Bottom 3 probably better in FWD instead even if you’re in auto like I did for the RS16.

Impressive time for Saeenu’s Williams as that’s the tune from the Clio Trial on Bola.
Cashless has also set a PB in that car with a more appropriate build.
I’m sure that could join the old A110 and the 5 in the 2:20’s.

TheGillesMuller July 18

Well I did have my own tune for the '73 A110 shared but only for about 5 minutes, tried Izzumnizzum’s Renault 5 tune just now and it was half a second quicker with just 1 attempt, moved me up to #74 on Aeródromo’s board and it’s far easier to drive than my Alpine was/is, so unshared mine and am using/recommending that instead.

@TheGillesMuller left this for me, he has no Internet this week:

B France (Sierra Verde Sprint)

Renault 5 (Izzumnizzum) - 2:44.198 (New PB)
205 Rallye (TGM) - 2:45.799
Renault 4L (TGM) - 2:46.250 (very good apart from final bit due to low top speed)
Alpine A110 '73 (TGM) - 2:46.308

Citroen BX4TC (TGM) - 2:48.277 (better for MC)
DS 23 (TGM) - 2:48.769 (opposite of the Renault 8)
Bugatti T35 C (Marina RG) - 2:48.994 (bad understeer)
Renault 8 Gordini (AlfaBRO2385 ‘Road B/Aero’) - 2:49.419 (great launch + acceleration, terrible handling)
Alpine A110 '17 (TVR Driving, drags) - 2:49.987
Peugeot 205 T16 (PTW Subzero, drags) - 2:50.362 (better for MC)

Thanks for the info from TGM. I’ve not looked at the Peugeot or Bugatti vehicles but I have tried twelve popular cars and tunes on a blueprint of Sierra Verde Sprint against 11 AI and using auto gears.

Not surprisingly I got the best finishing time with the Renault 5 Turbo and Izzumnizzum’s tune whilst I overtook all the AI in the shortest distance with the Renault 8 Gordini and AlfaBRO2385 ‘Road B/Aero’ tune. I didn’t have any handling problems with the latter.

My Top 4 in finishing time order with about 3 seconds between No 1 and No 4:

that’s what I thought because of the cones on the ground, but I can’t get it to look anything like the clue
