I stomped the Trial with the trailcat and the same tune (changing only gearing) cannot get me into first in the series event for trailcats only. Great

Talk about plunging the depth of banality. Time to do the Goliath three times I guess.

Have you tried smashing into the competition in every single corner until you're in first?

That thing is loving hilarious and insanely dominant. Not only fast and with good stats but so heavy you can just bash the AI out of the way.

Can't wait to get home and do that :devil:

The Trials have honestly become one of my favorite parts of the game. A nice semi-cooperative challenge. Sometimes I even keep playing them after I've already won just to help out and enjoy it.

Does it count within races? I kinda assumed it didn't so I just want around hunting down XP boards for lack of anything better to do

They probably just play more than you. I've only got like 2 mil right now since I just recently finally bought the last 5 mil house. But I have enough that I never hesitate to upgrade anything or use fast travel whenever I feel like it. I just don't really buy cars much

Step 1: Get wheelspins (level up/do arcade events for FP, buy super wheelspins)
Step 2: Get Rich

You need to download a tune, I think there is one from the Dong Jong Zoewon Hong guy whatever his name is, you'll find it, he's usually the first tune in the list since he is so popular.
The trailcat championship was really hard, you need the absolute best tune to beat it (in my experience).

mostly i just do everything in the weekly playlist. i did also make a whole lot of money in rivals before i got sick of it when the meta shifted to cars that handle like dogshit but accelerate really fast, which is extremely not my jam.

and as mentioned, you could do arcade events for forzathon points and buy super wheelspins, it's prolly the fastest way to make money right now since soloing arcade events taked like 4 minutes and super wheelspins almost always give out at least a couple hundred thousand credits

Oh, my game has been absolutely refusing to connect to multiplayer (dunno why, every other game works), so I’ve played zero arcade. Cool, guess I’ll wait for them to fix the game… saying that a lot about this one.

This was great advice. Really a “men among boys” situation - you just knock them out of the way like they aren’t there. Plus, that truck is great off-roads highly recommended.

The speed trap this week is a pain.

I'm waiting patiently for people who paid $4m for the bentley only to find out the final challenge is to drive it 100 fuckin miles.

It takes 10 minutes even if you tune your top gear to do 800mph and beach yourself on a rock.

That's amazing.

Knocked out the speed trap, my recommendation is to grab a tune that keeps it RWD as the "better" cornering of AWD scrubs too much speed around that final corner before the bridge.

The stock F40 tops out at like 200mph, and you only need 145 for the trap. I just installed a sport transmission, greatly shortened the gears, and spent the rest of the PI on some extra power. Not even sure I needed the power, cause the hardest part was getting it through the turns, and I ended up having to cut over grass a lot. Might have been easier if I spent it on better tires

Yes it does, so either use it to post clean laps on all the long races, and/or turn on auto-steer and assisted braking and do those sp farm eventlab events a billion times.

Judging by the S2 trials a few weeks ago you're far from alone.

Also maybe it's just because I'm playing on a 60hz monitor, but my screen turns kinda jerky when racing PI950+ cars, like old-timey film footages or the action scenes in Mad Max Furry Road. The frame-rate just seemed too low for the speed. it's kinda cool. Anyone else notice that or is it all in my head?

S2 for trials is my bane. gently caress up once and you're yeeting yourself off at 900kph, there's zero room for error. I'm cool with championships because at least those have rewind and I can chill without worrying about even a tiny mistake. And, no delays if you want to restart.

It would be cool if along with all these apology points if they actually gave us something to spend them on.

The points are ultimately useless when the forzathon store is so limited, and constantly filled with easily attainable cars.
