Series 36 Festival Playlist Preview

I used this car with a Bola Ocho tune (yours) for this trial and I’d definitely not recommend it. I was the only person in a tuned car and still had cars going past me on the fast bits and any cornering advantage I had just wasn’t enough.

Yeah definitely my tune from that Trial would be awful for this one, Saeenu’s was on Rallies so more power + a lot higher top speed.

My one is on Slicks isn’t it?

I think so, yes.

I was hoping one of the races in the trial was a circuit but that wasn’t to be.

i am not doing the preview thread anymore. I’ll be sharing preview content on yt

You need 155 to 160 mph or thereabouts for the trial to compete in the second race. Even Saenus tune got blasted in my convoy. I put streets on and added more power and it did the job. Streets or white walls or vintage. Worst trial ever. Never seen such a disparity between top and bottom places.





For those wanting to get a jump on tuning for the autumn season. Here is the playlist from the forzathon live. Sadly their is no requirements unveiled regarding both the Rally Adventure or the Hot Wheels expansions.

Very much appreciated! Thanks! :+1:

RA stuff is kind of goofy c class pr and a b class seasonal. Thank you. I don’t watch those youtube videos except for lost phoenix and some players like bala and howzer anymore. Anyways…the trial looks like hilltop descent or something. Have to mess with this tomorrow. I am forza’d out for the day. I played fh5…did 5 trial runs…and played fh4 did 2 trial runs lol. I think that is enough forza for the week.

Was trying to figure out the street race in next seasons Trial thumbnail but this one is a tough nut to crack.

Initially thought it was the first left hand corner after the festival site on the Hilltop Descent but it doesn’t match up with the thumbnail.

Went though some of the other street races with those types of trees and such but came up empty.

Anyone have any clue what street race this is?


Sorry if the picture quality isn’t good. Grabbed a pic off my tv to try to get a clearer image.

I’m fairly sure it is Hilltop.

Note the highest up tree branch + leaf shapes, and it’s much clearer to see in my picture look at the fogginess on the left hand side, and if you look hard enough you’ll see more around the middle of the thumbnail, so I think the thumbnail picture was taken right on the checkpoint.

Chihuaha circuit? Those four trees are at the start. Might be. Same area. alas it is still hilltop though. Just ran it. Takes my datsun off the table…because that new nissan is way faster for it.

this is the correct answer, for anyone out there spectating

Thanks, Hilltop was my first thought but ran it a half dozen times and never registered that spot.

see we had it already. Can’t be nowhere else. The trees from that photo are only visible in two tracks.

What car you going with though that is the question…vnx and evs peeps were telling me to go with the datsun. I said nah…I might put it out there for someone else, but that new nissan wagon does 175 mph with decent handling. I think I am going there just to enjoy this trial since this weeks was so boring. It’s hakosuka for me on this one or the wagon.

I grabbed screenshots for the final 2 trials for the series. Feel free to repost them when it’s closer to the season.

Loads of good cars for the upcoming trial…the datsun is kind of neutralized by the long straight of hilltop. My best times this week were with the Silva 2k, the nissan 93, the new gtr wagon, and the 2010 nissan z (aka no aero weak take off) with it’s high top speed.

Was a toss up between the Safari, Titan and Rally Raid to make it 24 cars for 3 rows of 8, latter 2 are very unlikely beyond joke use so chose the Safari, Zip’s Fairlady and the 370Z Nismo had multiple runs but otherwise 1 go each here…

B Nissan + Datsun 510 (Hilltop Descent)

Skyline '87 (Izzumnizzum ‘yyy’) - 2:08.862

Silvia '94 (ThinkingKnot778) - 2:10.789
370Z Nismo (AlfaBRO2385, drags) - 2:10.931
Silvia '00 (ziperrPL) - 2:11.064
240SX (XTR Xtremus) - 2:11.307
Stagea (TGM) - 2:11.540

Skyline '73 (Wilfredo 0v0, drags) - 2:12.783
Silvia '98 (pauly57) - 2:12.983
Skyline '71 (Saeenu) - 2:13.033 (very good then 8th gear absolutely murders this on final section)
Datsun 510 (Mustuff124) - 2:13.150

Nismo GT-R LM (M0H0M, drags) - 2:13.317
Fairlady '69 (Beermachine66, drags) - 2:13.375
R34 Skyline (K1Z Bard) - 2:13.450
Sentra (Birdman83, drags) - 2:13.892
Safari (zombiejesus52, drags) - 2:14.268
R33 Skyline (Major B Ver) - 2:14.484 uses clutch + gearbox upgrades
Tsuru (CuriousGirl2591) - 2:15.435
Z '23 (Eka1364, drags) - 2:15.769

Stagea, Pulsar and R32/33/34 Skylines will all do better for MC users, the R33’s time here demonstrates just how much pace is sacrificed when one is built for auto, sure it makes for a more pleasant drive but even for auto users themselves it makes them slower than a build that’s spent that PI on power/weight instead.

Not too surprised at Zip’s Fairlady originally being the quickest for me as I’ve had that installed for a very long time now and when I was still doing Open it was my go to car for any power oriented courses in B Road/Street.

370Z Nismo the surprise package here though and I’ll be going with that for the Trial itself, always great to get something good out of a car I’ve never given a second thought to.

way too many options, which really begs the question: why not Infiniti?

edit: I’m not in game, it might not reach B700
