The Trial track looks to be Guanajuato Sur. I’ll try to post a screenshot in a bit.

The Trial thumbnail is kind of dark on my screen but I’m pretty sure it’s Guanajuato Sur.

The 1990 AM Lagonda is in the retro sports cars category so looks like I’m compelled to use it for my first Trial run.
Really thought it would be a retro saloon with how heavy it is.

B700 1990s France is a coin flip between the Peugeot 205 Rallye and the Renault Clio Williams, I don’t think you can downgrade the Bugatti EB110 that much. :sweat_smile:

I’ll run them over the weekend but I’m not expecting a new PB, I’m at 2:49.570 and #44 with a Porsche 550 from an old Rivals week on here.

Current quickest eligible car on the board is a MC user at 2:50.489 and #65 in the GTO, 2:52.773 and #142 in the '92 NSX for auto.

Thanks for the update.

I keep getting the “too many tune saves message” and the only way I’m able to download a new tune is to first delete an existing tune. Therefore initially I’ve just looked at suitable cars in my garage with tunes already installed e.g.:

1995 BMW 850 CSI (B700 Colossus tune by geistwriter)
1995 BMW 850 CSI (B700 tune by SundayDriver585)
1995 Nissan NISMO GT-R LM (B700 tune by ImaginaryMonsta)

All 3 beat all the AI comfortably but I’ll be looking at other alternatives during the next couple of days.

Honda NSX-R '92 (TGM) - 2:48.919
Toyota Supra '98 (TGM) - 2:50.304
Toyota Soarer (TGM) - 2:50.429
Nissan Silvia '98 (AlfaBRO2385) & Nissan Fairlady '94 (ziperrPL ‘RNA Lite’) - 2:50.587
Mitsubishi GTO (TGM) - 2:50.896
Mitsubishi FTO (TGM) - 2:51.105
Mazda RX-7 '90 (TGM) - 2:51.238
Nissan Silvia '94 (B L I N K KR) - 2:51.572

Toyota Supra '92 (TGM) - 2:51.705
Nissan 240SX (Syokora996) - 2:51.864
BMW 850 (AlfaBRO2385) - 2:51.955
Mitsubishi Eclipse (Mustuff124) - 2:52.047
Porsche 968 (TGM) - 2:52.164
Nissan Skyline R32 (SeeyeahBoss ‘Update V3’) - 2:52.206
Nissan Silvia '92 (SeeyeahBoss) - 2:52.356
Nissan Skyline R33 (K1Z Bard ‘Rivals’) - 2:52.665

Nissan GT-R LM (TGM) - 2:53.157
Toyota MR2 GT (pauly57) - 2:53.465
Mazda MX-5 '94 (Izzumnizzum, stock tires) - 2:53.515
Mazda RX-7 '97 (Mustuff124) - 2:53.590
Lexus SC300 (WhiteBurrito42) - 2:53.682
Aston Lagonda (Mustuff124) - 2:54.508
Honda NSX-R '92 (stock) - 2:54.775

Toyota Supra '98 WP (TGM, drags) - 2:56.493
Lotus Elise '99 (xxYannickxx7712, drags) - 2:56.610

'92 NSX once again, beat my time mentioned further up by quite a decent margin once I refined the tune, I’ll share it Wednesday and unlike this week I won’t forget this time.

A well balanced set of cars overall apart from those two at the bottom, they deserve to be on their own in the list, the Elise is actually alright until you hit the 2nd half of the lap where it barely moves, Supra WP is just…garbage once again.

All decent choices apart from those two though as long as you use a decent tune, and Spirant & Top Gun should be able to do pretty well with stock here if they go with the NSX.

First, thanks for giving my tune a shot. I really wanted it to work without the V8 engine swap and/or aero. I’m truly impressed with the time you got from it even though it’s down the list a bit, technically not last though. It had one of the lower likes-downloads ratio from seasonal tunes I’ve shared recently, about 17%.

I shared a new one “ROAD -V8-”. It fits the Horizon formula better and my times are better than my times in the older tune, in case anyone searches it out. TGM’s ghosts need not be concerned.

I gave your new one a try, much better, would be pretty much right in the middle of the list with this.

After I did the initial test I tried my own build for the Lagonda and that did an identical time to this.

Thanks for giving the thread a bump by the way as I was going to forget to share my tune yet again :sweat_smile:
