It's in the livery editor.

Thank you! Didn't even know there's such stuff in the editor!

Can't you turn track reset off? Maybe I'm wrong, thought you could.

You can, but certain parts of the track are still off limits even with it toggled off. Typically, stay away from the center area of the track and it won't reset you. I've done plenty of off-roading on the outskirts and hilly parts.

Yeah, PD are a bit weird with where they place optional parts for cars.

Alrighty, got at the Z4 “GT4” to do all the WTC700 races. Was staring at the widebody option with my eye twitching. Pulled the trigger without testing the stock body first.

Ran it at WTC700 Laguna Seca for its first stop on the tour. Like Salt-N-Peppa said, “My mic sounds nice!”. In VR there is no hud option for an rpm gauge. So, that needle is pinned at “7” on the dial(props to gtp members that own a Z4 for real. I’m digging that gauge cluster!) and the wail from the exhaust is awesome! I think my Super Taikyu Spoon FK8 will be in the shed for a long time. Just can’t beat an NA engine(the straight-six contingent is heavy in this game!).

Anyway, with the car set up with suspension numbers that match PD default Gr.4 settings, along with Gr.4 downforce settings, the car is loverly. Started in RH for the first five laps and steadily moved up the field. Biggest surprise was fuel use. A solid five laps without short shifting. Tyre wear was barely red tops at all four corners. At the pit stop I switched to RS(tyre wear was still good before I crossed the finish line). Plus, fuel was at 0.8 laps left. Might have to drop the gears to a 3.27 or 3.55 and maybe adjust weight to 1250kg as I progress. Dope car.

Is anyone else noticing that a lot of the new "showcase events" are a lot harder than the recommended PP/the base game events? And no, it's not a "skill issue", the AI are just using faster cars. In the new European Sunday Cup race, which is supposed to be 400 PP, there's an AI that uses a M3 '97, which is close to 500!

They actually took cars from Sunday Cup 500 and put them into the new 400 event.

I don't care what other people say about the Unimog anymore because this just made my day

I think PD are mimicking what players do.

We don't need actually any new Events because you can setup your own with Custom Races.
The Payouts that you getting from your own Custom Races are almost the same as you getting it from the regular/PD Races.
The Monthly Races from the Updates are anyways Useless.

The only problem with custom races is the ai is bugged. The top three cars will pull away and the remaining ai cars pretty much do a formation lap for the entire race

My goofiest challenge yet
Go a lap down in style to win a 5 lap race in a sub 200 pp Unimog versus very glitched over 500 hp Abarth 500s.

If I were advising PD on update PR strategy regarding these unique vehicles, I think what I'd be telling them is to make sure there's something else that grabs the headlines in that update. Ideally that'd be a track or a big feature, but clearly those are very slow going. But, for instance, if you put the Unimog in the Urus' spot in March 2024, I think it'd get a lot less blowback because the part of the fanbase that is more critical towards it would be focused on the GT-One.

In contrast, cars like the 205 and the Z4, or the '24 GT-R and the Evo VIII that were alongside the Hiace, are like the milk in your cereal - perfectly suitable and you want them to be there in the bowl/game, but not at all discussion starters or headliners. Which means the divisiveness of the Unimog/Hiace gets amplified because it's the only part of their respective updates that people have a lot to say about.

I really fell in love with the 205. It‘s so much fun to drive, both stock and modified.

Also made a livery for it:

Colin McRae‘s & Derek Ringer‘s 205 from the 1988 RAC Rally.
