Always nice when most of the ‘Team’ give up after the first Trial race! :grin:

Lol- I hadn’t checked the class for the trial and assumed it would be A. Fortunately I have one Supra tuned for B!

Edit - the car I had tuned was the 92 Supra with a tune by ugrundy. I won all three races easily enough in 2.30, 2.42 and 2.31. Team lost all three races but, due to the helpful bug in relation to Street trials, were given a 2-1 win.

Trial went great, 3:0, me getting 2x 1st and 2nd, nobody quit, clean close racing, sweet :slight_smile:
I did try older Supra, it had more grip, but it was slower tho (at least with my tune), so I just reused already made tune for new one
B 700 Toyota Supra '98, tune - 152 768 772

Then it was time for Classic Racers and choice was easy, just reuse the car from last week
A 800 Shelby Daytona, tune - 608 196 288

Moving on to dirt racing (actually its mostly tarmac) and why not reuse the car that works well
A 800 Renault Megane R.S. 250, tune - 610 753 292

and again to Toyota themed road racing, first I was thinking of using new MR2, but after trying it, I just went for super grippy option
C 600 Toyota Corolla SR5, tune - 854 469 489

Weekly Forzathon I did with S1 900 TVR Sagaris, tune - 591 373 084, did few drift laps at festival, made custom blueprint at Astmoor Heritage circuit , if you don’t want to race whole lap, you can just cut back to finish line after first checkpoint, share code - 731 149 405 (tho the full circuit is very nice to drive too, so … :slight_smile: ) and finally went to beach, to collect that 250k score.

PR stunts all done in offroad tuned Agera RS.

This is what worked for me, hope it can be of any help to somebody else too. :slight_smile:
Take care everyone, have fun and bb.

Easiest season ever! Finished everything in record time.

There’s something weird going on with the Trial. We lost. Like 1050-2000 lost. I saw the CPU drivatars marked as crossing the finishing line, beating 3 of our 5 team each (i managed first, one other managed 4th). But the game counted it as a win for us, for blue team. That was the second round where I was paying more attention, because I was confused as to how we won the first round as well with even worse numbers. I dunno if it gave us a “win” because one of us was in first, but the last round our team came 2nd-6th, so we won by points but didn’t come in first, and it still counted a win.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I got the car and don’t have to do the trial again. (Especially since I came in 1st 1st 3rd.) But it shouldn’t have been a win, and should get looked into.

It’s a standard bug with Street race trials. Sometimes, one or more of the drivatars don’t seem to register as they cross the line. When that happens it usually seems to trigger the human team being given the win even if , in fact, the drivatars got more points. Doesn’t happen every time but I’d say it’s well over 50%. I doubt anyone has reported it to be honest, as it does no one any harm.

8

that happen last trail for me. we won some how.

They will need the bug to win. I have decided not to help anyone out this week, cannot stand drivers who refuse to let you past when you have the quicker car.

I agree, it should be looked into, more so so that undeserving drivers do not get the prize car (i’d rather they quit and have to do it again).

Still no fix for the progression for the last 3 seasons? What’s going on?

The Playlist is, well, the Playlist. The offline championships are nice to try new stuff out, but not anything special. Which tells me I should probably start playing the Trial more.

For the Forzathon I used the 1992 Supra. I swapped in the 2JZ-GTE because the stock engine has a good sound but very low pitch, which makes it unpleasant. Perhaps not surprisingly, this car is very fun to drift with, which you will be doing often. With 2JZ swap you can have it in either B700 or A800, so pick what you like best.

As for the cars you get, the 1995 MR2 is something that’s begging for a tune, because in stock form it’s absolutely terrible to drive, it’s got a powerful engine for its size but the poor lateral grip coupled with unusual behavior from the rear-engined chassis makes it way too unwieldy. The 1989 version is a more balanced car out of the box and should be competitive, while also looking pretty great when lowered and flushed out. I was surprised to learn it’s supercharged, must be unique among Japanese cars.

I did Street Scene run with both Toyota MR2’s stock Unbeatable, Sim-steering, no aids, manual without clutch.

Both cars are Street Scene safe bone stock. I was able to win every race, most easily Glen Finnan chase requiring 5 or 6 retries (note: it rains there during spring season).

I found both cars to be very enjoyable experiences. 90’s MR2 being more challenging but in a good way.

I didn’t knew these cars very well before hand and went to look more information about them. This is what I found, via Wikipedia

There is also mention about mid-engine design cars having certain tendencies by their design. Also:

This can still happen in game even when we have never model with improvements mentioned above. Nothing wrong tuning the car, but I really don’t see physics of car being inaccurate to its real life counter part and this is something I really appreciate in Horizon 4.

Thanks for your reply. I was pleased with my experience, because the car behaved as I expected it to, which was what you wrote. Unfortunately, it seems to me the 1995 MR2 is a lot of car for its tires. It has very good acceleration and its size tricks the driver into thinking it will corner faster than it does… which leads to oversteer when you push it too hard.

14

Which would be a good track for airborne pass skills?

15

The dirt scramble that goes around Mudkickers’. I use my B class 65 Mini against other Classic Rally cars. Hold your place until the switchbacks down the back straight, and then getting airborne passes is pretty easy.

That was, indeed, the track I was trying to recall.

Trusty Focus RS worked for me. (The car you get at the start)

i got xxe i missed it last time

You guys do realize that the team with most points at the end of the trial are the ones that win, right? It does not matter who comes in first, only which team has more points.

What they’re saying is, that doesn’t always happen. I’ve seen it too. You have less points but you win anyway. It’s rare but it has happened to me at least a couple of times.

Yeah but the bug is there. Happens often and probably just on the Street races as everyone else has said just not really noticed.

Happened yesterday we lost a race but it counted it as a win.
