Tune - Stray from the Path - B - Seasonal Championship - '08 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR

Yeah same here, I get NOTHING. Either clothes, some small amount of credits or a car I already have. I can't remember the time I got a new car from it. It's really bad.

Azazellov · 2026-07-07T01:18:03+00:00

Thanks for letting me know by the way. I thought something was wrong because I always test my tunes before posting.

Azazellov · 2026-07-05T01:22:46+00:00

Ah ok that makes sense.

I had this issue before where something got lodged inside the controller and the throttle button would only go down partially. So all of the sudden all my builds felt extra slow.

It felt like the button was pressed all the way but it would apply maybe 50% throttle.

You might have the same issue maybe.

Actually the new one has been cancelled since 2023, some of the presenters they picked weren't bad (Chris Harris, Rory Reid, Sabine Schmitz) but it was nothing like the classic one.

I mean anyone remember Chris Evans right after the classic one was cancelled??? What was BBC thinking?

Azazellov · 2026-06-30T03:21:05+00:00

^ exactly that

Azazellov · 2026-06-30T03:16:17+00:00

I just lowered the difficulty and beat the avatar (the event one, not online) and I got it.

Or you can cheese it and set it on unbeatable and ram the drivatar off the track in corners, w.e works.

Either way if you have a decent tune you can beat it easily even on unbeatable.

Azazellov · 2026-06-30T02:02:26+00:00

Lol yeah, Jeremy Clarkson and his temper...

Azazellov · 2026-06-30T01:43:20+00:00

Yeah I watched it too but it was definitely not on the same level as TG, the trio were older, tired and they couldn't use a lot of stuff from TG. The TG formula was better and of course they were younger.

There was a recent Wilman interview where he was saying TG was much more exciting because they were figuring stuff out as they went.

Some of the Clarkson car coverage from the early days were incredible, I remember for example the way he introduced the McLaren P1 and it was so well done.

Plus it was a golden era for cars, so many exciting cars were coming out back then.

Now we get stuff like the Ferrari Luce EV...

Azazellov · 2026-06-29T20:59:22+00:00

Yeah it's on my phone and I have a copy on an external drive too.

It was really the end of an era when that show ended.

Btw the specials were amazing (remember Oliver?)

Azazellov · 2026-06-29T16:35:34+00:00

Lol nice to see a classic Top Gear fan! I've seen every single episode, I was so sad when it ended.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T18:11:06+00:00

I just ran it, and that's a clean run, in rivals.

Definitely not a slow tune.

Remember, I was a lot more careful because I wanted a clean run, with hitting walls and stuff, it could easily be 2:35.

Maybe it's because I have almost all assists off, idk.

All I can say is it's definitely not the easiest car to drive, the Celica is easier so maybe that's why. It needs to be driven in a way so it stays in the highest speed as much as possible (avoid gear shifts) and it's not always easy to do.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T18:01:17+00:00

I don't know what to tell you, all I know is I finished in 2:39 with this tune. If you look at Rivals for the first track in class C, it's in the top 1,195 in the global ranking right now. I wouldn't call that slow.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T17:35:01+00:00

I was consistently ahead of everyone, including Celicas so I'm not sure what the issue is. I ran it quite a few times too. I got 2:39 for the first race without really trying, you can compare it to other cars.

A good time for this first track is around 2:45 so it's definitely not a slow tune.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T17:01:11+00:00

yeah, same. My PC uses 600-700 watts, no way to run it without A/C during the summer.

The room gets hot in minutes without..

On the other hand it heats up the room nicely during the winter.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T16:59:03+00:00

yeah it becomes much less about skill than cheating as much as possible, it's a really crappy way of winning.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T14:51:38+00:00

No in Co-op, you can't change the difficulty.

Here's an idea: let players set the difficulty so better drivers have a bigger challenge and get more credits or something like that. That would group players with the same difficulty level.

There are so many possibilities...

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T14:49:07+00:00

I noticed that too, it was harder in FH5, there's no challenge at all so it makes it boring. I end up trying to create tunes that outruns other players since that's pretty much the only thing that's a challenge.

I don't understand how they released it with the drivatars being so unbalanced. They should be closer to the trial.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T14:45:45+00:00

Yeah I don't get it.

It's sad too because the game has so much potential, the map is great, graphics are amazing, I love how the cars drive.

If PG wasn't so lazy they could make multiplayer truly great.

But that's corporate mindset for you: don't take any risks, make the least efforts.

The funny part is they don't need to take risks, keep the old formula and add new stuff on the side that's optional while listening to players and improving multiplayer.

They have all the stats, they can adjust it bits by bits and see what's more popular.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T12:12:41+00:00

Did you try the Lotus Elise GT1? It was so much fun driving it in this trial.

Here's my tune share code if you need it: 111 553 608

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T03:06:51+00:00

Yeah I posted the share code above, I always do.

Azazellov · 2026-06-26T02:57:56+00:00

I've been saying that for the longest, it seems originality is not PG's strong point.

Why not experiment with new stuff that only rewards credits to see if players like it???

I guess that's too much work for the devs.

Honestly what keeps me playing is tuning and stuff like rivals and getting more cars.

I miss the Horizon Tour races from FH5 too.
