I'm back with another week of tunes!
I believe that having a vehicle to complete the festival playlist shouldn't mean using a disposable tune. That vehicle should be at its potential for the class it's in, ready to compete online if necessary against a similar class/tier vehicle.
Every tune I make is tested repeatedly, compared against other respected tuners, and reworked until I’m confident mine is faster.
Weekly Challenge
“Hurricane”
2014 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4
This is an S1 class road racing tune that can handle the entire weekly challenge easily. I rebuilt this Huracan recently and squeezed out some additional potential compared to my first build, so it has plenty of speed and grip for anything the challenge asks you to do.
The Trial
“Feeling Bugged”
2013 DeBerti Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
This Deberti Wrangler has been one of my favorite offroad vehicles since FH5. It will do well in this trial and it's easy to drive.
2019 Casey Currie Motorsports #4402 Ultra 4 'Trophy Jeep'
This is a great option if you own it. With 1,137 HP and a 0-60 time of 2.365 seconds, it wins with power, but it still isn't difficult to control.
2016 Jeep Trailcat
This is my top recommendation. This Jeep handles phenomenally and has been tested on dirt and cross country tracks, including big jumps. I also compared it against tunes from three other respected tuners and beat their times.
Seasonal Championship
“Play Time”
2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R
This is my top recommendation. This tune put up the fastest times I've ever achieved around Narai-Juku Circuit, my favorite test track. It isn't just one of the fastest S1 Mustangs I've built—it is one of my fastest S1 road cars, period.
2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR
This car is a beast. It is extremely fast, competitive online, and one of the strongest options available for this restriction.
2013 Ferrari 458 Speciale
This isn't far behind my quickest S1 builds for lap times, and it handles beautifully thanks to being lighter than many of the other options. You can't go wrong with it.
Seasonal Championship
“Spyder Sense”
1989 Nissan Silvia K's
Handles phenomenally. Works great on wet or dry roads.
1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex
Lots of power, less lateral grip than some other vehicles. This is one of the fastest C500 vehicles in the hands of an experienced driver.
The Trial
“Hokubu Time Attack”
2024 Nissan Z NISMO
This road racing tune was originally built to make quick work of A-class time attacks. It has a strong mix of speed, acceleration, and predictable handling, making it my top recommendation here.
2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF
So. Much. Grip. This tune is extremely planted, predictable, and genuinely difficult to make slide. It is a great choice for a technical course.
2014 Alfa Romeo 4C
This lightweight A-class road racing tune is focused on handling for circuits. It accelerates hard, changes direction quickly, and is an excellent option when the route rewards precision.
Danger Sign
“Festival Leap”
2013 Mazda MX-5
This tune is for jumps only, it has not been tested for road racing. It has rally tires and front aero, and I put values that should be somewhat effective for road racing, but this tune was built for straight line speed/jumps. I was able to achieve 1100ft (335m) on my first attempt.
Weekly Challenge
“Forest Cut-Through”
2024 Nissan Z NISMO
This is my top recommendation from the eligible tunes I have available. It has the best overall combination of speed, acceleration, and stability for carrying momentum through the route.
2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF
This is the maximum-grip option. Take a clean line, avoid scrubbing speed, and use its predictable handling to keep the run tidy.
2014 Alfa Romeo 4C
The 4C is lightweight, fast off the line, and easy to place through narrow gaps. Avoid the roughest terrain and let its acceleration do the work.
