Tip for this season : Un,ess I’m wrong, you can combine the last challenge of the weekly with one of the solo championships.

4

Last week the worst, this week the easiest trial

5

That’s because Seasonal Games is quite hard without a TrackTor. Though the rental Tracktor will get the job done.

6

Yea it put me and my buddy just the 2 of us. That helped!!!

7

It’s true, though; Mud is in fact thicker than water.

8

Starion is pretty cool. It’s nice to play one game for almost two years and still being surprised.

Is it known that for the 1992 Toyota Celica RC GT-Four ST185 there is no name over the car picture in the german version?
It just says 1992 Toyota. The same for the not yet released Nissan Pulsar. When i switch to english it is there, when switching back it is gone.

Just to know if i have to go through the endless journey of a support ticket.
thx

10

Yes, It’s the same for every other languages than english.
It’s a known bug, hope that PG will correct the issue in the next series

No idea if it’s the best car for it, but the first time I did the Trial, there was someone in a 22B who slowly pulled away from me. So I did it again, this time I used the 22B, and slaughtered everyone.

I’ve shared two tunes. One spends the considerable PI needed for a race gearbox, but that means it has 6 nicely spaced gears. The other tune uses the sport gearbox, which frees up enough PI to save about 50lb of weight, but it means it’s sluggish off the line and has wider spaced gears, as it only has 5 gears. I don’t know which is best, I used the race gearbox one in the Trial where nobody else finished the Gauntlet before the timeout. The car is very very grippy on the snow, but doesn’t seem to particularly suffer on the straights compared to other cars.

12

Thanks! The 22B with your race gearbox tune netted me a 1st, 5th (missed a marker thanks to a teammate… seems to be a common issue today…), and a 2nd. We won all 3 races thanks in part to 3 other great teammates who showed up with a good car and knew how to drive, and despite 2 other racers that showed up in stock cars and unsurprisingly took 11th and 12th place consistently!

Great tune for the way I drive.

13

Thx for the info Salfox69!

14

Complete opposite in the trial this week, was the only Lancer in the team, won all 3 races and team won very easily as well, most interesting bit was getting into a spat in the 1st half of the Gauntlet with a teammate who was bitter about me winning the 1st 2 races, made him and his constant quickchat spamming the whole time he was in front of me look daft then made up probably 15-20 seconds to the leader and won comfortably.

You’d expect better behaviour from someone at 3 stars + level 62.

15

Thanks for sharing the tunes Bree. I went for the sport gearbox running MC. Won the first race, got pushed around a checkpoint (accidentally but slightly annoyingly) in the second and could only recover to 3rd. The third race was interesting as one of the drivatars in an Evo had a massive speed advantage and kept overtaking me on the various straights. I eventually pulled away to win by about 10 seconds over the last dirt section but the first 90% was fairly nip and tuck.

Overall, not one of the better trials. The tracks are three of the best dirt tracks but they are on the long side in B (especially obviously the Gauntlet) and the drivatars - bar the freakish one in the last race - aren’t really able to give much of a challenge. I think it would probably have been much better as an A class event.

16

Did the trial yesterday and it was quite a breeze, great competitive and fair team and all. The drivatars don’t offer much challenge but we battled it out between ourselves all the way, quite so much fun. I took the Lancer Evo VI GSR using Ryu Makkuro’s B700 tune and it was at least on par with all the other cars used by my team. It is quite fun and easy to drive although it doesn’t even utilize winter tires.
We won every race with most of our team in the first places and quite a gap to the drivatars. I’m quite sad that I could not really fight it out in the Gauntlet, but our baby started crying towards the final stretches so I dropped from 2nd place to barely timed out due to inactivity. It’s quite hard to calm down an anxious toddler and at least accelerate at the same time.

Completely agree with that point. With B class cars the tracks are simply not challenging enough because you’d need to go much faster overall. The Gauntlet is just one thing: long. I could imagine this well with S1 Rally Monsters, would have loved to take the 037 Stradale. I still might do this again for fun.

Regarding the other events, I’m a bit disappointed. I like winter in FH4 but on unbeatable difficulty there’s hardly any challenge this week:

Championship: “Mud Is Thicker Than Water” | Dirt Racing | (B700) Modern Rally
Took some Lancer with a B700 tune for the first race which I won in the final few corners but it was lacking in pretty much every department. After that I took a stock 2005 WRX STI and was puzzled by how it pretty much blasted past the supposedly unbeatable competition.

Championship: “Offroad Rampage” | Cross Country | (A800) Offroad
The 2017 F-150 Raptor is simply OP and easily wins all 3 races, I used TDU1PlatinumMod’s tune.

Championship: “Cold Commute” | Road Racing | (A800) Horizon Special: Daily Drivers
The only eligible car I owned with an A800 tune was some Renault Megane. It had no winter tires and I’m pretty sure it was tuned for playground games but still won 2/3 races.

17

Much better trial this week team 3:0, my 22B came in 1st, 7th (kindly pushed out of checkpoint by teammate) and 1st (even tho we had one very speedy drivatar, I could catch it and take victory on last twisty bit.
So trial car, a bit slow off the line, but can take most of the corners flat out:
B 700 Subaru Impreza 22B, tune with rally/snow tires - 508 268 254
but if anyone feels courageous and run it on stock tires (it is 15 sec slower on first race), tune - 221 272 558

Modern rally championship car, running rally/snow tires, you might ask why … second and third race, are on snow and I did try to drive it with stock tires fitted Impreza from trial and its just big NO, so:
B 700 Ford Focus RS '03, tune - 172 525 704

Offroad championship, anything will do:
A 800 RAM Rabel TRX, tune - 120 651 735
or Ford F-150 '17 or RAM Power wagon with DJS tune (which might be a bit of a problem atm)

Daily drivers car:
A 800 Renault Megane R.S. 250, tune - 610 753 292
or Ford M Sport Fiesta, tune - 152 111 784
or Honda Civic '15, tune - 175 724 991

Forzathon car Land Rover S3
I tuned mine to A 800, tune -843 964 379
and also made a custom blueprint at Ambleside rush CC - code 157 708 610 (just drive straight :slight_smile: )

Stunts as always done with offroad tuned Agera RS for speed trap and jump, speed zone done with S2 tuned Lego Senna.

Sounds like the “5 Second Sprints” I’ve been making forever! LOL

I dare say COLD COMMUTE is quite easy with a wide range of A800 cars, but I used the sublime 2013 Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG (181 664 160) and that car grips better in the snow than some cars do in the dry.

Thumbs up emoji :smiley:

Well made Forzathon. This is what I missed in this game most of the time: making lists that reward players who think ahead of them. Using the Series III to beat the A800 Championship is a given, and it’s alright!

Actually this is a pretty good week, the Trial looks like it’s gonna be very fun and the Championships feature good classes. I only wish Playground would consider making an A800 Modern Rally event, because all of those cars can reach A800 and it’s a level of performance closer to WRC of the time.
