Definitely will do this seasonal repeatedly. You can choose a wide variety of cars with some more challenging than the others. A quick 688k for grinders

Going Topless in the Desert...

My Big Willow Muscle Car '69 Z/28 does it again. The reason I call this car by the name is due to using since the game was new and there were lots of Willow events. The base tune was @praiano63 , but it developed over a period of time just like learning the track. Looks like if I want to race this is the event I'll stick with. I have plenty of Muscle Cars to choose from. I just picked the sure thing car for my first attempt.

 

[Draggon]

Had success with an old beater of a truck. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!

 

[Dr Fourtrack]

Only had time for 1 run this morning. Went in with my birthday car; Shelby GT350.
Caught up with the GT40 with a lap and half to go, only to find it now drives like it should have in the qualifiers (it was 3rd on the grid).
Ended up in the gravel after trying too hard to catch up.

 

[coryclifford]

The Shelby GT350 stock is great. Could use an adjustable diff to help the inside wheel peel but it almost doesn't matter. Go faster and you can hear the outside wheel start to peel, and that's when you know you're doing it right.

Whoops, forgot the picture. SH tires, 454 PP.

 

[TonyJZX]

Used the 1978 Pontiac Firebird chicken on the hood special.

Wasnt too hard but you get walked by the 1, 2 or maybe even 3 Shelby Cobras on the straight.

 

[OscarW]

I need to find a tune for the gt40 so the rear doesn't step out of line all the time. But an easy 6 minute race when I get it right.

 

[Dr Fourtrack]

The Shelby GT350 stock is great.

Had another go with the GT350 (I'm at 550PP), also got the 2 Cobras and Destroyed them!
Think I was catching them up before the 3rd lap had started.

 

[CBH]

GT40 goes well around here, I did not push the car to hard once I got in the lead .

 

[Depo]

Did thiis with the Shelby GT350 at 455 pp ,
Caught up with the leading Cobra at the end of round 3

 

[8l23ub]

GT350 and GT40 without any power mods, headphones on, no BGM, turn the sound up and rev to my hearts content, the soundtrack is that good it surprised me when the race had finished and I had won.

 

[Racin510s]

It was a MOPAR kind of day. Loving this event almost as much as the Ascari a few months before. All of these cars have a base tune from @GhostRider65 with my own tweaks. As far as I could find @GhostRider65 has the most tunes for Muscle Cars. Isay that because if you use the Advanced Tune Finder, @GhostRider65 shows more than any other tuner. I know there are other tuners that have tunes but they are hard to find.

 

[ROCKET JOE]

Thought of relaxing after being 'corkscrewed' all day at Laguna Seca ... just to find out that Willow's got a screw of its own ...

But after that ...

A relaxing nice and easy clean run for gold in my trusty GO FURTHER Fordie GT '66, cute wing, rough tune, big fun.

 

[Racin510s]

Today was Ford Day. @ROCKET JOE I rolled my GT40 today as well. As soon as I can get time to sit through the replay I'll post my upside down excursion. Thanks again to @GhostRider65 for his great base tunes. I haven't seen as many posts for this event yet. To each their own. I'm having a blast.

 

[ishikawa2501]

Wait. Are you telling me that the Cobras are the real bunnies here and not the GT40? After all the time I invested in my Vette and pushing it down to 419pp?? Come on! 🤬

So, I had to try 3 times before I get a Cobra in the roster. With 425pp and 55 on the LSD acceleration. (I think This is the first time I do a setting beyond 40 on that)

 

[Dr Fourtrack]

Combined the prizes of 2 of these Seasonals.
C'mon, who wouldn't want a Chrome Gold Superbird!

Needed to throw some tuning at it to beat the twin cobras tho'. (May have over done it; I'm at 540PP which is MORE than enough. This pic is taken on lap 3!)

I am very happy that you find your happiness with my dear friend @GhostRider65 tune . They are beautiful tunes as my dear friend @GhostRider65 knows how to do.

 

[Dr Fourtrack]

I probably should have stopped at Weight Reduction 3 and tried it with just that.

 

[Racin510s]

Today was GM day. I ran the 64 GTO and a bunch of Chevies. Thanks to @GhostRider65 for those good base tunes. I'm having loads of fun. I haven't run my Chrome Line Cobra and my Pontiac Firebird. I'll add those to this post tomorrow. I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am.

Coming from someone who had painted a Karmann ghia with a chrome chip just for kicks, it may look to some as "tacky", but considering the "look at me" style and the choice of factory colors available to the superbird, it looks nice IMHO
I didnt had enough time, but this is a entertaining race and not as bothersome as the recent italian only race. If anything The cobras doesnt add as much challenge and difference in performance as the Dino or the Lancia did

Hi @OscarW
6.00.000 or 6.59.999 ?

 

[Racin510s]

My camera was stuck in selfie mode, don't know how but that's Murphy's Law for you. The second issue was I couldn't enter my Chrome Line Cobra so I had to buy another one, yet there is a Chrome Line Cobra that is one of the AI. Typical issue of PD. The Trans Am was ok but the Cobra was when my phone decided to go into selfie mode. I got the best shot I could from the replay. Well ran the last 2 eligible cars left in my garage. Once again the tunes were a combo of @GhostRider65 and myself. Both cars I did not have to change anything. I guess now I'm going to start lowering my PP, which the majority of the cars I ran were at 500 PP instead of 550 PP. I could try them completely stock from the dealership with only an oil change and tires.

Chrome Lines don't have a year indicated, that's why ( in case you didn't already know ).

Thanks man, I didn't know. 👍 I'm finding there are several things I don't know after watching some YouTube videos.

6:50.248, tried to use the Buick Special but it isn't allowed and I raced against that thing. But next time I'm trying for a 6:45 with the gt40 with wing and tuning, and maybe the aliens will land and show what's possible.

A GT40 can easily get a time of 6:45 something and with no wing 👍.

 

[Jeje6410]

Easy win with my Ford GT40 Mark I '66 550 PP (SH, SM, SS)

Good Drive and enjoy

Hey @fordlaser, my bad, I'm a guy who gets ambitious reading such statements , if you want me to lose my mind you might mention a runtime of 6.30 in your next post .

Possible times depend a bit on the race and the opponents and where you meet them on track.
If you're at a sub 6.50 pace you gotta lap about 6 cars on the final two laps and you can easily lose a couple of seconds if you do it defensive and with care.
Btw I did these seasonal A spec races only once the past years, just to be done with it.
It's fun though atm, thanks guys .
