Skyline @ Autumn Ring

The Skyline @ Autumn Ring. This was for me the best of the new seasonals. So much fun with such a great car. This particular car was one of the major test cars for the tuning generator within this app so I've grown very fond of it.

GT350 @ Willow

If you haven't been around this blog much you'll have missed the multiple times I've said this so I'll say it again. The Tsukuba of GT6 is Willow Springs. The only difference for me is that I hate Willow Springs. It is almost too simple for its own good, it simply has a lack of real flow that I'd like. Anyway onto the event. 

You'll be driving a "stock" Shelby GT350 Mustang. This thing isn't so tough around here and honestly it felt like SRF was on the whole time. Maybe that is just me but you'll be surprised how fast you can hit some of these corners. The two biggest tips...on the tallest turn of the course, start wide and cut in hard, you'll avoid the second apex where it is very very easy to go off. For the next turn, the downhill into uphill left hander, get on the gas early. You'd be surprised how much time you loose here when you don't exit hard. 

Other than those two tips, it really just comes down to knowing the track and trusting the Mustang. This car in particular is a great example of a car that is quickly ruined with poor tuning so I'm glad this seasonal forces you to drive the unadulterated original. Enjoy

Evoque @ Eiger W Trail

This event features a car I actually owned before needing it for the trial which is kinda nice. The Evoque also is as far as I can tell, the only car to ever have its name misspelled for the seasonal events. Anyway, on to the trail trial. 

My Evoque was only slightly upgraded.
