@#$%& Off-road. @#$%& Buggies.

Stuck at 79% of season completed with only hours left. GGGRRRRRRRRRR

Never mind that Ferrari 512S prize, I bought one the previous season. I just hate forced buggy racing. Just can't @#$%& get ahead.

I used the Ariel Nomad. Just tune for minimum speed and max acceleration.
And you don't have to win every race in those, just the competition. So you can e.g. ram the leader :P Also use rewinds and restart races if you got a poor result :)

I agree that Cross-country races are a freaking circus. You take the lead ? Here, random geometry bump on your face to turn your car upside down ! Finally stabilized your car down in the muddy greasy patch ? Here, a jump to you land sideways and off-way when the AI soars majestically in the air and lands perfectly straight.

As Michiel mentioned. A Ariel Nomad tuned for acceleration gets the job done, with mercilessly ramming whoever takes the lead or looks funny at you. I had some success with the Polaris too, but the Beetles and the Alumicraft were a pain to take a lead.
For for Extreme Off-Ofroad I roll a Jeep Trailcat and Lamborghini Urus Concept for the Utility Heroes ones... The Hummers were a bit disappointing for me.

I preffer much more Dirty Trails with my Lancia Strattos..

Thank you, friends. Completed with five minutes to spare.

I initially just loaded up on the highest S1 or S2 tune I could find, but the series forced a Class A 800 limit. So I had to find the one among many A-class tunes which featured the best acceleration.

I observed that in the first two races, I tried my hardest but could not beat or even reach the first-place winner. I resigned myself to thinking that I would just earn second in the championship, and keep the credits and skill. But in the third race, the previous winner ended up far behind, enough so that I was able to finish first in only the final race AND still win the overall series.
