If you have any cars you don’t use/like put them on the auction house for max buyout and I’ll pick em up if you want
Yes please that’d be a great help as I don’t get that much time to play at the moment!
I’ve put these three on for 24hrs. Username MINIRocket81

Thank you!

Stick some on for the longest you can and I'll grab some tomorrow.




What an amazing selection of cars on this challenge, I thought I'd try something different with the beetles, both handle great and could do serious damage with a better driver!

DT, I think the Beetles are classed as offroad buggies.

I’ve stuck these on for 24hrs so much appreciated.

Had another go tonight and found a Land Rover that suits me quite well so just need to start playing round with set up and string that elusive lap.
That lamppost on the penultimate corner can do one hehe

Been trying some different trucks and fitted the H1 Hummer through there with space for a Rizla paper each side hehe

Ah yes, he said pickups or jeeps.
I'll try and beat my time, it won't earn me points anyway laugh

Just managed to get into the 5000 on the main leaderboard, next target is to go sub 54. That lamp post can be a git, what's catching me out at the mo is the corner just before it, trying to clip it and missing the flag, or screwing up the braking and touching the barrier before I get to the lamp post hehe

It's good to have a close one, 2 and a bit seconds between the top 15.


Also, for future weeks, I was doing some forzathon stuff and noticed that there's Rivals for Street Scene point to point events. I haven't tried one, so I don't know if they are at night with the flare markers and the traffic on the road like the races.

Its a tough one, you can tell that by the bizarre selection of vehicles so its all down to driving!
There's only one you can cut properly and thats the 3rd left checkpoint, the rest have things that can slow you. That lamppost is like hitting a wall laugh

As per usual I’m messing around at the bottom of the field laugh I tried the G55 earlier and it was great apart from lack of grunt and with it being close to the PI limit nothing much you can do with it. I’m liking the Bronco although it cost me 6 mil or something to go 1 or 2s faster.

Get yourself in a jeep with race tyres and rally suspension.
Pop in some negative camber, lower it right down, stiffen it right up and alter the diffs.
You'll be well away, the Wrangler is quite nice to drive as is the CJ5.

Is it just me or are the only tyre upgrades available in winter season the studs?

When it comes to offroad tyres then yes, studs only but they change back to offroad in spring automatically I think.


Ooh, a Mitsubishi Starion!

I was the same with the G55, switch the jeep and found it much better... Sometimes there is tune shared with the correct PI too whistle (Not mine btw)
However, I'm find you can't out tune st driving biggrin

Tried a few different ones tonight, various sizes and power levels, could get to low 54s but no more. Am I missing something with the Hoonigan Bronco, it's close to 720 so I can't do much with it, and it's not really any different in times to other stuff I drove.

I sandbagged mine with stupidly big wheels ect, gave me some wiggle room for minor mods elsewhere! What difference it has made who knows? Tried the Jeep and Defender neither seemed to have to grip of the Bronco, Cant seem to get any better than mid 54's now though
