Occasional Tales

I had to drive my Zenvo TSR-S fast to win the treasure which was placed in the least accessible location for a hypercar. O Game, th’art such a wit. The weekly in the 2017 Ford GT posed no issues at all. Eventlab (1) was Red Bramble Raceway by YouTuber, HokiHoshi. A decent circuit, but made out of that pretend tarmac that’s just a bit too viscous. As others have noted, it’s all flat. A one-third good SWS. I thought we’d already had a Circuit de Mulegé GP as an Eventlab event. I opted for my (RWD) AM V12 Vantage, but am not sure whether this was a bad choice or the circuit was awful. Probably a bit of both. I seemed to spend about 90% of the race in 2nd, wondering where the next ridiculously tight corner was. Better done in an AWD car after a lot of practice. The reward was a Zenvo TSR-S. My third, I think. It was back in the CC8S for the Lodge Raceway for which I was rewarded with a 2002 Nissan Skyline. Not my favourite version of the car, and I need to see how many of them I have (a...

This week’s theme was impossibly fast drivatars. I started with the weekly in the Renault Mégane and did Mulegé as the circuit race.

I lowered the difficulty setting to Dribbling Idiot, which gave me the expected advantage; but what did I see behind me? One of the drivatars pulling away from the rest of the pack. The Eventlab tiles were working. I think that’s a whole month without a glitch (in spite of all the other problems with the game). ’Scuse me while I check for flying pigs. Stadium Supercross was an unfun, unbalanced novelty circuit. It was another one where you pick a vehicle you like and then find you should’ve picked one of the Extreme E cars instead. I ended up in a close battle with a drivatar in the improbably fast, impossibly grippy FE BMW X5 in White Sands . I chose my Ferrari F40 ...
