Might make too much sense though! I even had to go back and check what they showed in the stream.

Everybody happy with this?

That’s Tulum just as you get back on the dirt after the 2nd bit of tarmac at around 60%.

Bit of context here for why the BS is nothing to worry about, only 13 of the fastest 103 times on Tulum are in non-American cars, and 3 of those are cheats (one of which includes mine and geist’s favourite), Dannny holds the WR in a Willys Jeep.

The BS at #4 is clearly a cheat as well, the first legitimate one is all the way down at #49 behind these other American cars…

17 Willys Jeeps
16 Daytonas
4 Jeep CJ5’s
3 Scouts
And a singular GMC Jimmy

Edit: And I guess add some idiot in a Dodge Dart to that now :joy:

From experience as someone who runs rivals at high levels…which would you all choose daytona, cj5, or willies jeep. I remember us building some good cj5’s a while back…so it’s probably between the willie or the daytona for me. I don’t think I have used either in a trial in FH5.

Couldn’t wait to do this, being at the bottom doesn’t mean bad here whatsoever, all of them are absolutely great car and tune combos, all apart from the Wrangler, GT70 and SafariZ are from my Gauntlet test…

A American All Stars (Tulum Trail)

Dodge Dart (UnworthyPleb) - 2:29.867
Firebird '68 (TheDannny) - 2:30.484
DeLorean (Fenrir3268) - 2:30.567
Plymouth Hemi Cuda (KapienPL) - 2:31.543
Ford Lotus Cortina (PTW Subzero) - 2:31.769
Jeep Wrangler (UnworthyPleb) - 2:31.852 (should be better for MC users)
Ford GT40 '64 (UnworthyPleb) - 2:32.470
Cadillac ATS-V (Xoroxronis) - 2:32.803
AMC Gremlin (spinstian) - 2:33.312
#99 Extreme E (geistwriter) - 2:33.379
Forsberg SafariZ (KapienPL) - 2:33.479
Deberti Shop Rod (I satiryo I) - 2:33.504
Ford GT70 (KapienPL) - 2:34.463
HW Deora (PTW Subzero) - 2:34.713

Along with those 5 cars I mentioned further up there is also a #5 Escort, GMC Typhoon, Ford Coupe '32 and a '17 Raptor each in the top 100, plus a Cobra and Chevy K10 at #101 and #103 respectively.

Ended up squeaking ahead of the fastest BS time on the board with the Dart as a bonus.

If anyone wants Xoroxronis’ ATV I’ll have to sell you one on the AH with it installed since that tune isn’t available to download anymore, outside of this Trial it’s one of the best options by some distance for whenever A800 Dirt Modern Muscle events turn up.

Love the dart :). My first car was a 72 dodge dart swinger…so anytime I get to use the dart is nostalgia for me. I love the outcome of your tests…they always give us something we don’t reach for often to test out and mold to our likings. I am curious if that new shelby…potentially has any competitive nature in it for dirt. It sounds mean on the street.

Deciding on what to tune for next seasons Trial. Worked on the '67 Shelby GT 500 and like it for A class dirt.
Like the '03 #4 Focus RS as well.

I guess beyond that I’m going to go with the more dirt focused vehicles and the classic and modern muscle cars.

Hard to predict what the popular tuners will share but will also look for things they wouldn’t share.

I’m going to break from my “actual manufacturer” pattern for the sponsors for next week, and veering into fiction. I saw a vinyl on a real car that I’m re-creating, and then I’m doing a different company from the same universe. I’m open to suggestion for future sponsors, though.

I really hope they give better cars as rewards

Hi :slight_smile:

Racing the muscle cars in the a800 dirt class on talum…is no fun lol. I even downed it to expert level…and wow talk about pile ups. Still…the dart, the pontiac, the shelby, and the 64 ford are great cars. Thinking I might put the cossie up in this one and the extreme. I rarely get dirt races anymore so…why not enjoy it.

I did try a tune on the Caddy Limo earlier today and it was fun if nothing else lol

surprisingly strong dirt/cc car

There’ll be even less excuses than usual for people turning up to this Trial in an unsuitable car, Bronco R WP is A800 stock and every player in the game gets the Cossie within their first couple of events from the first showcase, I’d also expect that to be the rental car for this.

What’s the betting some will though :person_shrugging:

That car is a lot of fun…especially in online races or convoys. I want to try and use the delorean if I can this week…operation bring back the delorean lol. Pretty much got it down to the dart (personal nostalgia), the delorean, and the cossie. Kind of funny how the a large portion of the cars in this are not dirt based. I would love to see more broncos or trucks…but most don’t have the whole package to be competitive. I did really like the new ford raptor we got last time though…it is a handling circuit beast. I got a b tune that does really good…so might slap an A tune on it and see if it works on this weeks coming track. Way too many choices I am on overload haha.
