Seasonal Preview // Series 3 Spring

Italian Exotics, Week 4 Playlist:

Well the Trial track is Ito Sprint....

But the restriction I've no idea apart from it being A class, thought from the name Daily Commute it would be High Performance Dailies or Daily Drivers but the Alfa 4C isn't in either of those, and I don't know if it's just me but the car behind (which is the key to working out/being sure) is impossible to make out.

Only one I can base any kind of guess on is Alfa as a manufacturer simply because of the 8C being given from the spec racing task, a few times already an online task has rewarded a car eligible for that week's Trial.

Don’t know how you ID these things but thanks.

Yes, they aren’t giving us much to work with to try and figure out what the Trial is this week. Alfa only seems quite limited. It seems likely to have an Italian theme, but how to link to the “Daily Commute” title? Maybe something with a maximum credit value limit might be a possibility.

Yeah it's really blurry but it does look like the front of an Alfa, if you squint a bit. The hood seems to come to a point at the front. Maybe it's something else though. I wouldn't put much money on it. Maybe someone will get an idea from this...

I’d say it doesn’t look like a Ferrari or Lambo but couldn’t go much further than that. Possibly could be an 8C but I think it’s still near enough total guesswork!

xbox on did a video about season 3..which this is the link . According to the video it is Alfa Romeo only A class. That leaves very little room for choices..

I fed the trial thumbnail into Gemini and it told me "two Alfa Romeo 4C in the background" - I would say Alfa A700 is correct

Nice to see the car in the picture for "Out of the Loop" is not eligible as its offroad and not included in Total Buggies and Offroad 🙃

One of my favourite gripes is prizes having no link to the event. An Alfa Romeo event should surely have the 33S as the prize. It’s just common sense right?

remember the FH5 Ford series with all the Renault prize cars? 😭

I think that lends further to the theory that Pickups + 4x4's being in there is a straight up mistake and it's meant to be Offroad in their place.

I feel liike they are already recycling playlists lo.

The trial has 2 sprints and the 3rd is Highway Circuit which is also a sprint. Better pick a car with a high top speed because this trial has 1 very fast AI. Last track the AI was 2s behind me but I finished 28s faster than the next AI.

That was a huge difference, and I expect that 1st AI will be hard to catch with untuned or cars with low top speed.

Ah, Highway Circuit. It’s so long since we’ve seen this in a Trial. Must be at least 7 days?

This week's trial is a pain in the bum. I went to practice race 1 with trail and errors and finally won but in the race, AI driver just gang-up on me as if they were mad that I beat them on the practice. Finished P12. The 2nd race is also pain in the bum because my car went oversteer and understeer like crazy and missed one of a checkpoints. Finished P12. The 3rd race is much better than previous 2 races, went without the hiccups. Finished P8.
In the end, I just relief that my team won by 2-1. I don't know what's happened to my skills? Sometimes I exceled at offroad racing but very bad at road racing in The Trial, I just felt like I'm cursed when playing The Trial races.

(Oh, by the way, all of Alfa Romeo cars that my team driven were all red except one, which is green.)

 

[LIttlebigman7]

Probably the worst trial even with an 8c no aero build lol. The choice of tracks for the builds is too confusing as of late. They start off with sprints..move to circuit..and then back to sprint. You can't really build as many vehicles like that and be successful. Oh well..besides a try harder that kept ramming me a dozen times during the races I lucked out and finished first try.

The first AI is fast in this trial, so speed matters slightly more than skill in this one. I was able to beat the AI using a Giulia on all 3 tracks. I did the trial 3 times but no other player came close to that AI due to lack of top speed on their cars on those runs.

A car tuned for speed/sprints is going to be good for all 3 tracks this week.

Honestly..I had to ram the 1st place guy or my team would of never won lol. It got really dicey in that second race too on those right corners. I felt like the 155 would of been better for the second race, but lacked in the other two. I ran it four times..came in second to a modder who flew threw walls in one of them.This week was very meh..I miss getting these a few days ahead of time with at least one track to prepare.
