PR jump at the top of the map, I used an AWD Agera RS.. TCS and STM turned on, lets you use the road to gain speed to hit the jump. Use Rewind if you need to adjust your line around the bend. Car's plenty fast enough to hit the target score.
I used TCS & STM for the first time in months yesterday to win the Games (Gotta get that sweet sweet 100%) and it felt well dirty! No more for me, I shall play fair and square, the trigger is not an on/off switch

I've only just started playing again really and doing the seasonal challlenges.

Need the 9 stars from Drift Zones in a Super GT but I've completed all of the drift zones.

Do new zones open up every season that I can't see?

You can just go and do the same drift zone over and over again until you get 9 stars, even if you've done it before

I played this online for the first time in about 14 months.

WTF is with the non collision thing?! Even the tiniest touch on the wall and into treacle mode! Blimey.
Common online tactic is to gently nudge someone into the wall resulting in them stopping dead.

Has winter ended yet? Got bored with it. Added the expansions, did one LEGO race, turned it off

Winters changed to Spring now.

I don’t mind winter as it’s very picturesque but you’ve got to be a bit choosy with ride of choice for maximum enjoyment.

Completed the Ferrari Rocher seasonal to win the Formula D 599. It’s quite fun to drive and less of a handful then I thought it would be. Plus it’s a interesting car to look at.

For The Trial, get a 60's Elan and download the Don JewonSong A800 tune

Lotus trial is a pain in the arse.

Using an A800 Exige S. AWD conversion and a few mods to get it up to 800. AWD helps getting you to the front of the pack early.

Finding it hard finding a decent team to play with frown

That’s what I find in general. I seem to get matched with people who don’t understand the team aspect, then drop out if losing.

I’ve got an 800 tuned lotus xi which is one of my go to cars so looking forward to this.

FWIW I built the Cerbera speed 12 to x spec with rally suspension etc. smashed that jump and then the speed zones in the last hour of winter

The absolute dream for the trail is losing the first race, everyone quitting then solo-ing the next two races, you only have to come 3rd to secure the win - easy peasy

It's a piss take isn't it. None of my Super GTs (even the 250mph+ Forza Edition Mercedes SL65) could get beyond 225mph. Finally did it in a Ferrari F12 with a tune I downloaded (share code 732 734 344).

I've never used the aids for racing to be fair, ususally have ABS, TSC and STM off..

But at this point when you have millions in the bank and just want to smash the weekly challenges out quickly I dont mind easy mode laugh

Thanks for the tips guys, ended up using a DB11 pre order with a x999 tune and got it second attempt (first try was 229.4)

Looking for a little help.

A couple of mates and I tried to meet up in Forza last night but we couldn’t get it working.

They’ve done the tutorial year that opens the map up but not much else. Is there something else they need to do before multiplayer opens up properly?

If anyone's still struggling with Princes Street, I've made a tune for the AMG GTR (Pre-Order Version!) - as I didn't have the DB11 PO and nothing else was working for me...

Share Code: 160 105 965

Approach from the east (just after the roundabout), slalom through the lampposts and hit in 5th gear.

I tweaked the gearing until it worked and managed 230.65 after getting 229's for a while.

Due to Playground Games being a bunch of useless wkstains, your mates will have to get to level 20 to be able to play online with you. They’re looking at 6-8 ish hours of gameplay to get to 20.

You’ll then discover that when you race online with randoms, you will be ruthlessly punted off the track or pushed wide of checkpoints should you have the audacity to attempt an overtake.

If you get knocked into a wall, you’ll get a penalty which effectively causes your car to have massively reduced performance for a short time. Those who ram into you get no such penalty.

st game - still play it though, what a mug I am!
