Talking of which, I got a popup saying @Populuxe beat my time at Sotoyama Scramble with an Opel Manta 400 and it was a really good run. It took a few laps to get ahead of him in the same car. Guess I'm going to be doing B class Dirt Rivals again today.
It took me fifteen ✪✪✪✪✪✪✪ laps to finally beat your Beat. It was that double 90° right hand hairpin on the south end of the circuit that kept doing me in. I’d be leading up to that point, but your Beat would zip around those two corners like a dog with the zoomies while my Opel negotiated it with all the stateliness of an ocean cruise ship serving dinner.

Apologies. I bet you were beat after finally beating that Beats By Dre Beat although I bet the boatload (or beatload) of credits you amassed along the way came in handy. I've seen a few comments on YouTube and reddit demanding Playground nerf the Honda which I guess is a surefire indication that it's a good 'un, so I figured, with so many people using it to set leaderboard times, that if I couldn't beat them I may as well join them.

Believe me, I no more intended for the game to turn my drivatar into some kind of humblebragging Temu version of bowie knife99 than I did for it to transform me into a competent drifter or avid online racer, neither of which I had any interest in whatsoever in FH4 or 5. I place the blame squarely on Torben's cunning strategies to increase player engagement. Replacing the out of the way Accolades spreadsheet with a front and centre Collection Journal was a stroke of evil genius.

I'd also like to tip my hat to Amy Simpson and her mum for curating a list of songs on Pulse that can be listened to over and over again without any of them becoming really irritating. Some of the other stations have one song which makes me want to twist the radio dial to something else after a while.
Also, the R35 has an insanely tall reverse gear. If you're able to keep the car straight, you can exceed 250 MPH in reverse, which is kinda fun.
Sounds like it'd make an interesting Bowie themed EventLab Challenge to have the player do one of the game's many Danger Signs in reverse gear with the Nissan FE.

My suggestion for the title? "Up The Hill Backwards".
Considering @PJ only has twenty-six liveries in his storefront this is an even more remarkable achievement. As with his slimmed down garage his username appears to be a byword for quality over quantity.

Definetley need to add some of you guys as friends since Clubs aren't a thing in FH6. I've been doing Rivals a good bit more lately and would love to have more folks to benchmark myself against.
