Well in the new season's list is an eventlab inside the stadium.

Was I the only one who was disturbed by the event lab's creator placing dinosaurs in the stands everywhere? :odd:
 
I'm always relieved when the weekly challenges don't force you to drastically upgrade a lower-class car. I've got my Fiat 124 right where I like it as a C600 tarmac-rally beast with a 4-speed, it's no sweat to hit 95 on a speed trap.

(Now to hop in my go-to Lambo Urus and hope the Trial isn't awful this week.)

Spoiler alert: it is.

We had a guy in race two who just didn't want to let anyone else pass him (for second). I had to steer fully left into him on the downhill dirt switchbacks just to remain going forward.

Sadly, when I braked, he must have veered off to the right and missed the checkpoint. Oh no.

Guess I lucked out because the only real disasters were of the usual kind that come up when a couple people bring stock-tune cars to a Trial event, and you have to worry about them getting all weird about the idea of a teammate in a top-of-class tune trying to pass them. Fortunately that tapered off after round 1 (which we lost) but it's one of my two big pet peeves, between that and the idea that some people with mutiple of levels of prestige still desperately need to turn the driving line on and pay some attention to it just so they can internalize the concept of a braking point.

Also: I am sorry, but that stadium Blueprint event was no fun for me. It felt less like an "F1 circuit" and more like an all-tarmac rallycross with the flow-sapping tendencies of a Tilke track.

I had a group of all A800 in my Trial, and we easily won both races. There was however that one guy who finished last both races despite having a tuned car (and being a 2 star player, multiple hundred hours in the game), and one guy who didn't want anyone to overtake him to the extent of pushing others wide.

But in the end it was pretty effortless. Just unfortunate that the Urus tune I grabbed turned out to be rather crap. :D
 
The Stratos-only CC Championship was an event where AI cheating was easy to see, as there was little freedom to upgrade cars.
An AI tuner that can be upgraded to straight speed like a B class with just 10PI is definitely better than Alejandra.
I'd rather hire this tuner than her.
 
The Ferrari Monza SP2 is not eligible for the "Italian Convertible" drift zone challenge, despite, you know, not actually having a roof.

You can bring the Delta down to C-class too with drag tires among other PI-downgrading methods.

I made an amateurish tune for it, but it got the job done: 917 461 806
 
Which means it's not a convertible. 🤷‍♂️
'Convertible' means you have something to 'convert' right? (in this case, the physical roof). I mean, for the same reason, Lamborghini Aventador J, McLaren Elva or Aston Martin V12 Speedster shouldn't be categorized as 'converible' either imo...

Yeah, those cars are shaped as "Barchetta" an Italian name for cars who dosn't have a roof or a capotte.
The SP2 Monza it's for example a nicely modern version of those cars.

Well that's a lovely surprise to come back to the game to.

If only they'd tell me WHICH tunes.

its a flap in the rear diffuser

I know it's not present in the game, but it's not worth getting all in a flap about... ;)

Whereas yesterday this definitely was:

The sound of the D Type running up the hill was incredible!

Back to the virtual world today, need to mop up those 40 points in the Playlist...

Sorry if this is a stupid question as I haven't played Horizon 5 in awhile but when using custom routes/maps made by other people are we able to set custom grids for them like the 'regular' Horizon maps/events? Or are we stuck to using using the grids made by the map creator?

We have to use the grids as they're set by the creator bud.
