I only have one car I can use! The Eagle E-Type, had a quick go so far, not sure I'm going to be overly competitive in it so far.

I guess this might be an issue for others. Maybe in these cases you can go forwards one letter? But that gives you Ferrari.... Lol

Ps. Good luck to cutters in the Citroen DS

I am excessions. The Eagle is a good car, but it's lacking a little something. Going to try the other engine in it later and see if that helps.

Have you got an Exomotive Exocet?

It's an offroader but it's light and has engine options. The wiki site says it was part of Fortune Island but it might be in the auction house. https://forza.fandom.com/wiki/Exomotive_Exocet_Off...

Its only you excessions that would struggle, the Eagle is a good car, I've followed it and its quick.

The Exomotive is a handful, I built one up as it was free for me to see what it was like.

Okay, Saleen unsuccessful.... Only way to get the PI down is to fit drag tyres which gives great traction but really hampers the cornering... Shame.

Both Birdcages are rubbish. MX-5 with straight six is strong as usual.

Are any cars banned? Any… Myers cars?

Haven't tried it yet, I went from Saleen to Sunbeam lol, wanted to try a few left field cars before I move to Subaru which will undoubtedly be the 22B as it's a pretty decent base to start.

I'm done for today, tried a few cars but the Alfa 4C is the best of the bunch so far. This might be one of those weeks where I don't get near the time posted tonight for the rest of the week. Cutters' Caterham is rapid, I'm happy to be within 3 seconds of it hehe

Season 4
Round 11 of 16
Ambleside Ascent (Street Scene), Manufacturer that matches the first letter of your XBox username, 870 (MC), 872 (M), 875 (A), Any Mods, Any Assists
As of 20:45:



Top ten above Blue Line, 1st to choose next week as shown.

Problem I have is that they all start out as st, and then remain so.

I wonder if the Morgan 3-wheeler will get to 870 scratchchin
I wonder if the Austin 7 will get to 870 scratchchin

hehe
I'm just going to put it out there, they MAY get there... But good luck to you in terms of trying to handle them lol.
2:23.410 clean lap with a PI of 826 for the Austin, a few fluffed/careful hairpins in that section, it stayed close to Cutters until the first bend, then it was quite sideways hehe .

I don't know why but I half expected Von to be in a big Volvo estate, either with fake rust paintwork or some anime girls on the vast roof...

Is there any sight more annoying than this... I can actually beat Cutters time with a good run, but this is as close as I've got so far, and I'm having to go balls to the wall to do so, which means even the slightest mistake sees me into a wall or cutters fking off up the road! laugh

I have spent most of the evening tweaking, swapping parts and generally messing about with the eagle to be no further along. In fact I haven't got within 2 seconds of my own time. I've swapped engines, tyres, aero, and engine tuning.

I can't remember the exact tune I used to set my first time now. Most other cars seem to drive away up the final sections after the first set of hairpins.

If it's just you stuck with one letter I was going to suggest using the Xbox or PH name, but W would only give you the Willy's Jeep to tune up and W Motors Lycan to detune down (if it's possible to get it to 870).
