Sorry this is so late, I genuinely forget this game even exists for days at a time. It feels dead, the races are mostly sub-par for rivals, and the devs have abandoned us.

With that being said, here's the playlist!

British Automotive // Week 3:

1000031473.webp

a few weeks ago the trial was S1 Total Rally, which should have been A class. this week we have A class Rally Monsters, which should be S1. I swear these events are randomly generated or the devs genuinely don't play the game.
 
they also added a new Cult Car to the game last week (Jaguar) which can't be down-classed for this week's event 🤡

There's not much choice for the trial so I made tunes out of 2 of the viable choices, both are very easy to drive on the 3 tracks and pretty close in times with the 911 being slightly faster and Manta needs to brake earlier than the 911

Share codes have reached a 4th set of numbers??
Porsche 911 Rallye - 121 391 378 2
Opel Manta 400 - 783 418 525

Getting slightly ahead of myself but next week’s trial is Hypercars by the looks of it. That must be S2 surely?

Based on the design of the tracks, the weeklies, and particularly the trial I believe they are letting AI design this game. No effort on their part what so ever.
 
Race 1 and 2 are so long on A class, players and AI alike are DNFed when I finish with the 911 or Manta...

I used the manta first..but did way better and ran a much faster time with the peugot. The AI in my second race was ridiculous lol. Kept ramming me into the wall on the wiggly last turns.

The AI didn't put up much of a fight for me and just gets left behind on the first lap and never came close in either the 911 or Manta.

No offense. but the mantas top speed is no where near enough to be that much faster than the AI. DJ's weekly tune topped 123 mph and I think mine was about 162/163 mph. It was not good for the trial. Just what people are used to. Why I hate this current forza..no one can test tracks no more..they just fall back to their old bread and butter.
 
Should I do the Trials now, or waiting for pre-tuned setting available later for this week's Trials? Because when I do the Trials minutes after the seasons begun, I went panic for the cars and the tune settings I choose to pick for the Trials.

None taken, but mine's 174mph with a high PWR and I do see tunes with higher top speed in the tunes browser. Also I tuned mine to not slide out so as to be faster through the turns.

This race might be an exaggeration because the AI can't rubberband to me due to the players behind me but a good 5-10s ahead is very possible.

Love the tune Constin 👌 smashed Bamboo on custom Rally Monsters on Unbeatable. Perfect for Trial.

I thought of you when I saw this, just messing with the T50 now

trials have consistently been the stock class of the thumbnail cars, so assuming S2
 
They're definitely letting AI write the prose on the Playlist event descriptions.
agreed. the DB5 description for the next weekly is like a random snippet from a sales brochure, it's awful.

ok, unfortunately after further inspection, we are looking at a '21 Countach and a Mclaren Sabre in the Trial thumbnail, both are stock S1. it has to be deliberate. @Jezza14
 
Yes, that was my conclusion as well (plus the last time we saw Hypercars in FH5 it was S1). There’s still a lot of cars which can be used but it will emphasise that we will never see an S2 trial again.
 
Have to say when I saw D class cult car racing I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be one of the most fun races so far in FH 6.
 
to save everyone some time, here's the Hypercars that can not be down-classed to S1 with rallies. I'm not going to try offroads, snow tires or drags, there's 24 perfectly suitable options without making a mockery.

note: i think one or two of these can be forced into S1 but without front aero, which is also not a great idea. and Regera can, but has no AWD swap.

What a mixed fortune for me in this week's Trials.
In the first race, I almost lost all of my teammates except one guy and then in the race 2, the fortune has changed. I finished the race in P1 in a while without getting crashed or went off-track, surely I went sideways when I'm on a tarmac section of the track and in the race 3, also finished P1 with my one only teammate without crashing or went off-track. My team won 2-1 despite almost losing all of my teammates. I'm using MG Metro for this Trials and the other guy remained also using MG Metro.
