No tracks info for the Trial.

My guess would be street with the new street race as one of them

You could probably put money on one of the two new ones being involved

Shuto might be a bit long for Eclectic Domestics, although I guess three laps of Edo would be longer still. With Edamame returning as well, I'm thinking a Road Racing series at Edo, Edamame (though it's not very "City Life", I suppose), and one other - maybe Electric Town?

Edit: Actually, two of those tracks are in the Urban Legend seasonal championship, and Shuto doesn't appear anywhere else so you're probably right.

For the Trial it's no contest at all for the strongest car if it's sprints or the faster circuits, but if it's the smaller/tighter ones then the City is capable of beating (no pun intended) the sweatbox even with a conventional AWD swap.

If not it could still be worth using the City if one of it's weekly chapters is to win a road race/circuit/sprint with it, any half decent player in a Beat will blow it away but we've all seen the standard of most randoms in Trials, would be worth taking a chance to complete a chapter while completing another event.

Hmm..not sure if I should use the honda beat or the honda beat..what is everyone else using? I know the city is good..wondering if any others would be good on the tight circuits. I didn't get to test at all this week..so will have to try during the week with some awd swaps and such.

No tracks listed so I just tuned a general Beat with rally tires but with custom rally susp and went for a few laps on Shirakawa, and seems pretty par with most people's Beat, but maybe the handling is different since most of the meta tunes are on stock or street susp.

Trial is Rainbow Bridge, Shuto and City Docks I understand. First one is power-based, the other two are a bit more technical (although Shuto looks like one people may wall-ride/bash round corners). City Docks obviously has huge extends which people with track knowledge can use.

Man this actually looks nice. Much more in line with FH5's quirkier Playlists than anything we've been getting; seasonal PR stunts being restricted to specific cars, an actual one-make race championship, a creative event restriction for Urban Legend... heck we've even got two Monthly Rivals challenges like back in the days of Monthly Rivals and Forza EV.

They're not exactly hard to find, and this isn't technically a preview any more as it's happening, but Treasure/Photo locations are in the main thread (but thanks to the magic of embeds you can just click below):

I might be missing something but in the trial some players are using the S660.This is a series reward so how is that possible?

 

[ConstinOddity]

Cleared the trial in 2 races on 1st attempt, almost didnt... Everyone underestimated that 1st hairpin on race 1 including me but I barely stayed on track while the rest went off. Same clusterF happened on the 1st hard braking turn on race 2. Having more grip and handling striking a balance with speed in trials is always better then messing up in corners...

It's the rental car!

Pretty fun to use in the trial with whatever tune they put on it. It's B600.

 

[mynameis66]

@WhiteBurrito Of course it is.lolWhy didnt i realise that.😄

 

[ConstinOddity]

Updated my Beat, same high handling for fast grippy cornering but with higher PWR!
By now I have seen far too many players use Beat but then fail on race 2 due to poor cornering ability...

I'm not a fan of the Domestic's to be honest
That's why i didn't bother using them in last seasons Trial. Seeing as I'm forced to this season, I went with the City as I noted Giest had a tune up for it. I have a tuned Beat but there is no fun wiping the field with what I consider a meta in that classification. The City was fun to race against the Beats and I won all but a couple to one or two Beats. That bit extra speed with Giests tune helps. Giving a couple of other options a go like the Z but they don't stack up as well. I may yet be suprised by one of them but I'm not holding my breath. Trial is basically done and dusted for me 👍

Sera is pretty decent too. Coincidentally, the cars with the highest failures on race 2 is Beat and Sera only because they are the most popular choices. Seldom see City fail often since they are the easiest to drive and least likely for mistakes and most players can beat at least a couple of AI with it.

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned it earlier but the Honda S660 is going to be the new meta is B Class Domestics I reckon. Thing is quick and thats just rental.......
