Rivals Challenge - FH5 Edition

Slight improvement - 15:31.031 clean with the Noble M400

Down to 14:06.663 in the R390, I think that will be it for me, I could try something else but I have come to love that car since the Descansar one we had a while back.

Nice time Gilles.
Don’t think i’ll beat my Raptor time in the stadium CC in any of the chelsea tractors on offer this week. Best i’ve managed is c 54.4 in Bedlams 110, and as i really dislike the course,i won’t spend a lot of effort on it :slight_smile:

Wanted to at least post something on the C but last attempt flagged for rewind for missing a flag that I could swear my rear corner hit and should have counted, but I didn’t hit any walls that time so I count it even if the game doesn’t, especially only five days post surgery ha.

Interesting that it was the Diablo which proved slightly the stronger of the RWD cars, despite not having extreme top speed. A very fair and testing course all-round.

Trucks? I guess not? :pray:

I’m not around much this week, so restarting next week (plus Trucks isn’t very exciting).

Hi All. Restarting this week for the next few weeks again.

S1 Retro Supercars is a particularly strong selection. I don’t particularly like the trial courses though, so going to move us to street racing. Let’s go for Coast Run, which is a decent course. So:

Class: S1
Restriction: Retro Supercars only
Course: Coast Run

no prizes for guessing what my first runs are going to be in :slight_smile:

LOL. Only last night i was going through my S1 cars trying to decide which one i’d use as my goto for Open. Guess which course i was using for my testing :slight_smile:

Which did you decide on? :slightly_smiling_face:

I think 05 Ford GT will get a lot of use cos it seems to be able to take a few knocks.But theres a lot that are very useable, so i’ll switch it around a fair bit. Suburu sti,Elise gt,Mclaren f1 gt (just set a rivals time with that) TVR sp12, r390. So many choices,so little time :slight_smile:
Looks like i’ll have to try that CLK out too ,seeing the times being done with it.

It’s early in the game but I’ve been surprised by AWD builds of the XJR-15. It’s a car I had always filed away in my head as being a RWD powerbuild I couldn’t drive on wheel, but it’s decent here in AWD on either streets (harder, probably a bit faster?) or rallies (momentum based, more fun). I’ve shared a tune for rallies since that’s not a common configuration.

Glad to see I didn’t miss any Rival challenges when I was away for a work conference and had minimal time for gaming or the forums. Initial run complete in the Nissan R390 with a random tune I used for the Trial by COMoonStars11.

Initial time of 2:18.872.

I realized I have TCS and STM turned on. Can hopefully shave a bit off the time by changing those settings.

For the love of god Jezza, how have you done it? I was just happy setting a 2:16 in the Ford GT 05 and then a 2:15 in the MB AMG CLK GTR but i am not, i repeat, am not going to close the 9 second gap you have on me :joy: Did you use a RWD build btw :thinking: I will have to keep an eye on this thread and see what others recommend for tunes…

Edit: Thought i would give the XJR 15 a run as no one said it wasn’t allowed. Clocked a 2:14.768 Auto with TC on :rofl:

I’ve been meaning to check the XJR 15 out since Jezza excluded it from one of the rivals runs,I keep forgetting it and dont think ive even driven it yet. Also reminds me the XJ 13 is a car i use a lot in S1.
Any thoughts on the 512TR ? Early days for it in respect of available tunes,but it seems respectable and is nice to drive.

I am using RWD but Bedlam was using an AWD tune for the Merc that was just as quick, which would probably be more helpful for everyone.

I’ll post a full list of tunes tonight but quite a few of the better ones will be RWD.

512 seems like a good A800 car. Not top tier but in the line of the other Retro Supers which are all better than many cars.
It lives of its strong centrifugal supercharger upgrade.
Ran a Street no aero and Drift rear aero build yesterday.
On Copper Canyon the latter was 0.7 seconds faster. On Riviera the former by 1.2.
Seems very well balanced because the rear aero adds tons of drag but also strongly decreases PI.
A matter of taste and tracks which build should be run.

Cheers Rayne,i’ll search those tunes out later. A class car will be good,i seem to have an abundance of S1 atm.
