So the Time Attack is C Toyota and a 1:25 target on Hokubu....

They may as well not have bothered putting it in, even a stock Tacoma at 409PI can go over 10 seconds under the target.

Top choice BRZ 13 fastest and very high grip, 2nd choice WRX 11 fast and good grip.

Nukibara Trail

Edit: Touched up a bit... more stable on dirt turns... maybe... but a faster time...

Hokubu Trail

Yeah as Constin said above, BRZ and the WRX '11 plus the Vivio (though it may require MC) are the strongest choices, based on the C Total Rally Trial from a while back I would make an educated guess the '08 Impreza will be fast too, a tiny bit off the WRX, those were the only two that could drop to C on Offroads + use the cent on the BRZ engine swap so stands to reason at B600 that those two will be able to fit the most outright power.

Standard FH6 fayre really though for weighing up how good a particular Subaru will be for this, engine with a cent available = good, no cent = wet fart, only exception probably being the BRAT which has a cent for it's stock engine but that likely can't get anywhere near the sort of power needed even with all upgrades.

Been getting back into things a little the last week (bizarrely it's more due to Mafia 3 than FH6 itself) so for the first time in a very long time I'll be sharing a Trial tune, will probably put it up tomorrow night.

upgraded the driveline on my D400 Sera 😎

this game has some truly weak objectives

So very sad the 04 and 05 weren't viable for this race. BRz it is lol.

GTz LiQuiD's Vivio is the fastest option though and looks auto friendly, both Liquid and an auto user likely using it ahead of me on Hokubu now, though if the 2nd/3rd tracks have some longer straights bear in mind it's top speed isn't even 150mph.

Doubt it'll be necessary at all for the stunts but 126 642 956 if anyone wants to try my Toyota Sera that was sat as my Goliath time for months until only a few days ago, plus 164 773 755 for a Trueno that also did a decent Goliath run.

The trial today was quite easy. Did it in the ´13 BRZ with a tune of ZVTCJAU or Noa Miyako, can´t remember which one I used in the end 😅 Was a new one with todays date. Won the first one while blocking the AI when I was at the front. Got punted past the third checkpoint by the AI in the second one and had to rewind. Was last by a couple of seconds but ended up 2nd with a second behind first.

Edit
It was the ZVTCJAU tune: 229 859 617

I did the trial with my own tune today. Cut a few mph for lower gearing. Not into the 10 speed auto stuff. Just preference I play m/c..which seemed kind of unfair today lol. My brz beat most players by over 20 seconds. Except the AI...one AI in every race was overpowered and kept within 5 to 10 seconds. Next week we get hit with the stunt party, live, and I think hide and seek all at once.

BRZ tune is excellent. Thanks for that!

That said, for me personally, this week marks a new low for the festival playlist, which increasingly feels like it was slapped together—without any care or passion—by some AI. The weekly and daily challenges are completely arbitrary, super-generic, and always the same; meanwhile, the 40-point reward is a lackluster Autoshow model—one that, to make matters worse, has already appeared as a playlist reward back in Series 2. It’s really starting to make me wonder why I’m still playing this game.

Totally agree. Used to make you want to come back. FH6 at this point is more like a once or twice a week thing only. I have been playing some of the old ones more lately. Including going back to Fh4.

Well I've just had what I think must be the most selfish player I've ever had in any Trial across the 3 games....

Mouse was on for a 2:23-2:24 the pair of us being well in front of everybody else, a genuinely good player driving arguably the rarest car you're likely to see a human player using in this Trial, thought oh nice an easy guaranteed 1250pts in both races for the team here so the other 4 have almost nothing to do to get the remaining points required, then when I got to the post-race screen after finishing I saw they'd quit.

They may have got disconnected but I highly doubt it, one thing I'll give FH6 over 5 and 4 is DC's in events are clearly very rare as I haven't had a single one.

Just disappointing that a rare time I get a teammate who I'd give a 👍to in every aspect it's all rendered pointless by their own ego.
