Mascot Party Week 3:

This has me stumped. It looks like a Lexus, but not one we currently have in-game.

 

[BurmaEK]

Street racing is probably all we’re going to get on this.

 

[WhiteBurrito]

21 BMW M4 is my official guess. I'm away from the game so I can't grab a picture of it rn.

Yeah I'm sure it is, had a look earlier on so should mean it's A Modern Super Saloons.

The track though pfft....I'm sure I could find it eventually if I could be bothered but there is pretty much nothing to go off here so I'd have to run through all but 1 course trying to find the spot, Daikoku Chase was the only one I could rule out straight away from the place they've chosen for the thumbnail, if there's nothing distinctive on the road itself then usually what's in the background helps me get a rough idea of the area the course is in to find the exact one but 'slight left, barrier and bushes'? Every Street course apart from Daikoku is a possibility for having that somewhere along their route.

The '17 Giulia with SasaranaMi's tune should be a good option though whatever the track is, in that Alfa Trial not long ago there ended up being I think only about 0.4/0.5 between my 8C, Peter LYJ's 155 and Sasarana's Giulia on Ito Sprint's board.

great catch. I must be totally unfamiliar with this new BMW generation

Their fronts are about as distinctive as it gets but the backsides are fairly generic. My first thoughts were the q60 concept that wasn't brought forward and Hyundais that aren't in the game.

Looking forward to the Celica that was an autoshow car in fh5. Maybe it will spark an interest in the game for me.

season info-graphic is early, some info missing (trial is modern super saloons, festival chase) but the spreadsheet is fully updated:

The last street trial (Modern Muscle) also started with Festival Chase. Frustrating how unnecessarily repetitive they seem to make these events.

Festival Chase

it's so predictable that I was already testing super saloons there

 

[Jezza14]

So far in terms of Trial class:

X - 0
R - 0
S2 - 0
S1 - 1
A - 7 (including the last 5!)
B - 2
C - 1
D - 0

I appreciate most people don’t want an X class trial but a bit more variety wouldn’t go amiss.

if I had to guess, we'll have D before S2

 

[BurmaEK]

Have we had S2 since FH4?

 

[Jezza14]

Have we had S2 since FH4?

We had a trial right at the start of FH5 where the criteria allowed you to use cars up to X class. PGG then dumbed down the AI difficulty about a couple of months into FH5 and also appears to have taken a decision to never use S2 or above and to only use S1 rarely and just on simple road circuits. I’m fairly confident we haven’t had any S2 trial since the first month or so of FH5.

The position is even more egregious now though because we have an extra (R) class, so we basically are ruling out 4 of the 8 classes available. Realistically S1 should now be treated as a standard trial class in my view, with the odd S2 or R trial to mix it up.

Of course, they could also do something like an 850PI cap if they were worried that 900 was too much for most players to cope with.

 

[geistwriter]

we also had a Unimog event once that allowed as low as 100pi, either end of FH4 or beginning of FH5, right before they dumbed everything down

it looks like we are at 107 series points, plus 52 more this week = 159. meaning the gordini won't unlock until we earn 1 point in spring. or somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

That looks correct to me. Do you not already own one though or are you keen to get a second?

lol, I don't remember seeing it and just assumed it was exclusive. disregard. that's how recycled things have gotten already.
