Trial thumbnail looks to be Copper Canyon Sprint.
The foliage along the left side looks a bit different but I’m guessing that’s the difference between quality and performance modes.

Really hate the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer.
I can’t tune out the understeer after AWD swapping it.

Going to go with a RWD build.

S1 German Modern Super Cars (Copper Canyon Sprint)

Audi R8 '16 (Flok2104 ‘Canyon V2’) - 2:25.295
Porsche 911 Turbo '14 (xiaoyuge233) - 2:27.414
Audi R8 '13 (SulexPagMan) - 2:27.857
BMW i8 (OnlyNaps) - 2:28.190

Porsche 911 SC (CreeD ZaDe) - 2:33.520
Singer Porsche (VNX Hexor ‘Mega Bad’) - 2:33.913

Ran those bottom two first and they couldn’t even trouble this, which is both off the full 900 and poorly suited to a course like Copper…

I’ll give the SC the benefit of the doubt as there wasn’t a thing from any good tuners, avoid the Singer entirely though, it’s well known how bad it is performance wise.

So basically 4 viable options, possibly even 3 for auto players as the i8 has a sizeable shift penalty if PI isn’t sacrificed to reduce it.

I wouldn’t worry, I always reckon if I can get within say 10 seconds of @TheGillesMuller , it’s still probably enough to win.

That’s usually my goal as well, 5 to 10 seconds off TGM’s time. My best this time is 2:30.284 with my own tune (haven’t tried the tune he referenced above), so just under 5 seconds off his. Two weeks ago, I believe I was about 2.5 off his time with my own tune. I almost sent it to TGM to see what he could get out of it to see how much the difference was his superior skill vs tune but just moved on.
