Apologies but I am just not up to testing all the cars for the Trial and this is the best I could manage, used 4 from the Carretera Trial in the previous series and 1 non-European car that was quickest in that A class 86 vs BRZ Trial from further back.
A Modern Sports Cars (AOM Circuit)
BMW Z4 '08 (HLundh) - 57.641
Subaru BRZ '22 (Romie777) - 57.950
Lotus Exige (Nalak28 āAWD Botā) - 58.158
TVR Griffith (ShaggyScroll660, drags) - 58.375
Eagle Speedster (haulmarc) - 58.625

I appreciate your testing. If nothing else it helps me figure out good candidates for liveries to do (assuming people are choosing based on performanceā¦ which is probably a tad optimistic on my part).
Fortunately @x_ShadowsBane_x had dropped some suggestions earlier on that very much lined up with your list. Plusā¦ itās a popular category so I already have a bunch of existing designs. Should have a lot of options for this week.

I have ran most of the cars (not interested in the mazdaās)ā¦for me it was the Audi ttsā¦first tuned by mustuffā¦but I took the car added more handling and it gave me the best time. This week has been kind of fun. I usually just mess with rally cars latelyā¦so working these trials on circuits and roads has been good for future races as well. Only car I really was disappointed was is the eagleā¦didnāt want to downgrade to sport tiresā¦and a sleeper was the alpine 110. Thing gets off the line like carl lewis.
Probably nigh pointless curiosity this but since the Trial has been confirmed any ideas what the name of it refers to now?
I can only think the āand oldā part might be either that it means the other 2 races will be on the circuits in Guanajuato since itās an old place like MulegĆ©, or that Modern Sports Cars despite the name does actually have cars that are really getting on a bit now, as far back as 2003 (you know even though plenty of cars in the Retro categories are from 2004, 2005 and in the case of the Tsuru and Santana even 2010 and 2012).

The Eagle Speedster is just such a fun car to drive.
Iād have to say itās one of my favourites in FH5.

Weāll probably soon find out the significance of the Young and Old. I thought it may have to do with the tracks and Iāve been practicing on the Arch Of MulegĆ© Circuit (Old) and the AerĆ³dromo Sprint (New). For me itās still hard to choose betwen the TVR Griffith (M0H0M) and the Lotus Exige S (Nalak28).
Arch of MulegƩ went as expected.
Sierra Verde kind of made me a little salty. Had 1st spot on the grid and was going into 1st place at the first corner but a teammate thought it was a good strategy to go full throttle without braking into the corner and T-boned me.
Figured Iāll catch up but then as Iām passing the 4th place player he decided he really needed that place bad and intentionally pushed me out of the checkpoint.

I can bet who pushed you out of bounds lol. That one is always in online doing the same. I gave him the business with my mini a few trials back and I am pretty sure his head exploded.

Anyone got any ideas on the next Trial? Iāve just checked the restrictions available in create blueprint and the only one where the Warthog and Cossie both qualify is American All Stars but that canāt be right, the eventās obviously A class and even without counting the S1 downgrades itās a staggering 189 options.
It appears to be A Class, Country: USA. (19:51 on the Twitch VOD).

Thanks they both amount to the same thing, was hoping Iād missed something.
Must be the biggest pool of eligible cars since that ridiculous B-X class Trial from near the start of the gameās life.

Well on that basis hereās a shameless self-plug but it really is relevant and helpful, Iāll still test some but thereās no way even I could stomach 189ā¦
Any American car with a time up to around 20:10 on there will be a strong choice, the Gauntlet features pretty much everything the dirt courses can throw at you individually.

I was just gonna say this
Oof. Get ready for the boneshakersā¦
Wonāt be anything to worry about unless a top player is driving it, thereās lots of very strong cars available.
Any idea what track is in the thumbnail?
Will have a proper look on the tracks tomorrow to try finding the exact spot but at a quick preliminary guess Iād say either River Scramble or Tapalpa Trail, the trees in the background look from around that part of the map.
