[Nacho Libre]

For Xmas day it's back to basics with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in a hot lap around snowy Nürburgring!

Not rivals related but it might be worth to mention that 919 Hybrid is 75% off today

For the ghosts on Rivals mode; if you don't like them run your runs at one session - don't exist until you had run all your attemps. This way you don't need to saw those ghost - if you're faster than those 3 ghost you get at the start of session.

This is what i usually do but with the currently weekly my time is not as good as could be since that track and weather combination are hard to get right driving on the edge for 3 laps. I would like to have another crack at that one but not sure i want to bother, a simple button on option in the hud menu to disable ghosts should be an easy thing to do.

Late post: The Jaguar XJR-9 graces Monza GP with a pace setter rivals event.

 

[Nacho Libre]

The Audi R8 LMS runs a hot lap in Monument Canyon Array Peak layout for today. I have failed to mention that the weekly event is a pace setter at snowy Tuscany and open for Hypercars (I'm going with the Porsche 918.)

The Aston Martin Vantage GT12 visits Watkins Glen short for a nocturnal hot lap.

The last daily rivals event takes place at Azure circuit (faux Monaco GP) aboard the Acura NSX 20 at night. Have a better 2021 y'all!

Happy New Year all!

Here we have a fresh set of rivals events, today's daily looks interesting

And here's my rivals rank for December, nothing exciting again in terms of XP rewards, so therefore I'm giving up with the daily ones and will only complete them from time to time (mostly weekends)

I managed to get position 7 overall for the month, don't think i will be doing the daily pace setter today lol

Try it! I have to admit that they're really humourous out there at SMS to give us something like this on 1st of Jan

A pace setter of the Nord? They should just call it “2020”
Edit: Basically is a 22 minute boss fight with your health depleted and no 1-up’s... F....!!!

At first glance I thought it said "New Year Banana". Which would have probably been more appropriate since I expect it'll be easy to slip up on.

Just impossible, too many distractions around the house! I did manage a 7:01:XX lap of the Nurb and I'll leave it at that

Well, I was thinking about improving my 6:3X:XX (something like this - can't remember exactly)

...and today we have a Hot Lap around Havana Capitolio Pass (still the worst optimized track in my humble opinion) behind the wheel of Renault R.S. 01.

On the base game, maybe (it was worse before the last patch). Yas Marina is terrible in the first expansion pack, stutters like a bad PS3 game.

I'm happy I did my best lap on my final available attempt on the daily and weekly. I didn't do that well on the weekly though, because I think people could use their own upgraded cars. I don't have any cars in that category so I just used one of the available ones to borrow.

Today's daily is a Breakout Event in Tuscany Collina Town (again ) behind the wheel of Toyota GR Supra.

 

[Nacho Libre]

The Honda Civic Type R Racing visits reverse Knockhill at dusk for a pace setter event.

Probably I'll skip this one then...

Why? Is it the car? the track? the combination thereof?

I think that the repetitiveness starts hitting me

 

[Nacho Libre]

Agree, I hope the add more tracks to the mix.

Tuesday is a Breakout in Interlagos aboard the AM Vulcan, meh.

I remember that we had Breakout at Interlagos quite recently but can't quite remind myself what was the car used there.

I was annoyed at myself with this one. On my last available attempt, everything was perfect until I reached the final corner where I choked and ran slightly wide, missing 200 easy points.

Wednesday's rivals event is a Pace Setter around Daytona Road Course using Audi R8 from the forgotten LMP900 class.

around Daytona Road Course using Audi R8 from the forgotten LMP900 class.

I enjoyed that combination considerably more than I thought I was going to do. I might try a few races in it next.

That's one reason I like Rivals. You get to try cars that you might pass by when selecting something to race with in custom mode, usually moving on to more popular options. Rivals "forces" you to give them a go - often with positive results.
For instance recently there was the Pagani Huayra BC, never thought to try it before, thought it was great.

 

[the13PeSK]

I have exactly the same feeling, that Audi was very enjoyable to drive, fast and planted.
