Tips for Seasonal PR Stunts - (Series 77, Summer)

[I really don't know]

I understand this is a really late time in the week to be posting a discussion thread about this, but I figure if it ends up helping someone, it is worth posting. I should note that I'm fairly new to the game and inexperienced, so most of this advice is specially for the purpose of completing these challenges.


Croft (Speed Zone) - I struggled with this one particularly and spent around 45 minutes trying to enter the zone with enough speed so I could average above the threshold at the end. To start, make sure you enter from the side where you will go downhill (begin from the forested area and not the place with the buildings.)

For this challenge in particular, I used the 2016 Hoonigan Gymkhana 9 Ford Focus RS RX "Welcome Pack" car, as I was able to get it without spending credits (I could claim it free in the dealership, probably due to the Ultimate edition) and it had good stats. This is likely more obvious to experienced players, but one of the most important stats I found for this zone was acceleration, since it was my main priority to get back to full speed as quickly as possible after the corner in order to maintain the highest average speed.

In order to improve the vehicles stats, it is important to tune it. If you don't have access to the car I mentioned above, it seems there are other, more accessible off-road cars with comparable, though slightly worse stats. After tuning from the default, the class went from S1 (900) to S2 (917) (more specifically, 1130 kg -> 1147 kg, 447 KW -> 498 KW, and 1.9 Gs -> 2.0 Gs,) and the stats were as follows: Speed 7.0, Handling 8.2, Acceleration 10, Launch 10, Braking 8.7. This tuning isn't from me being knowledgeable, but rather most of the suggested tunes for this car being very similar.

I don't remember the exact speed I entered the zone with, but I didn't need to enter from an extreme distance to have a long runway since the acceleration stat was at its maximum. When turning the second corner (past the trees and going to the downhill section), there is a small margin you can drive off the explicit path and not fail the speed zone--just make sure you pass between the gate markers to receive credit for your speed (I missed twice, but was able to quickly replicate the required speed.)

My PB using this method was 183.8 KM/H.


Wesloch (Speed Trap) - I was able to complete this the quickest, as by the time I got around to it, I had properly tuned my car for the previous challenge, and it was simply a matter of finding a long, somewhat clear runaway to pass through the trap. I don't mean to say it's easy, but the Rewind feature should allow you to quickly revert collisions.

There are probably many ways to go about it, but I started around or past the hill with the lone mansion/house on the side of the crossroads (according to the World Map, going from North to South.) A non off-road may work, but as mentioned, I had success with the same car from Croft: the 2016 Hoonigan Gymkhana 9 Ford Focus RS RX "Welcome Pack" car.

My PB using this method was 236.0 KM/H.


The Great Ridge (Danger Sign) - This was the first one I tried, and at first, using an off-road vehicle (the same as the others, though before it was tuned), it seemed completely untenable--I was 70+ KM off even the 3-star objective. I came back to it directly after unlocking the 80% completion reward for this season, the Bugatti Divo, and, though I had initially planned to switch back, I realized that the speed I was capable of reaching even in off-road was so great that it might exceed the Hoonigan. For this challenge, I ended up using that Bugatti Divo, and though I don't remember if I tuned it prior to completing the danger sign, as long as you have a comparable car or are able to complete enough other events for the season's 80% completion reward, this method should work for you.

I initially tried starting from the highest nearby point--a field of pink flowers, but I found that the vehicle would lose too much speed from here for it to be worthwhile. On my successful attempt, since the Bugatti is more suited to road racing, I started from a patch of asphalt road in order to accelerate to a high speed. Then, I followed along the dirt path downhill and adjacent to the wall (make sure not to collide with it). After the dirt path went beyond where the ramp was and started swerving, I focused my attention to the ramp and started driving directly toward it. This part will definitely take a few attempts, as the terrain is very rough and the car (assuming it is not off-road) will be very difficult to handle. I was rewinding very liberally in order to adjust my entering angle, to swerve around the rocks, and make sure I maintained as much of my speed entering the ramp and as I left the air. It is also important to land straight to receive credit for the jump, so make sure the car enters the air as directly forward-facing as possible (not hitting a rock and throwing off its rotation). According to my capture, I left the ramp and entered the air at 223-224 KM/H.

My PB using this method was 302.0 M.


I may have forgotten to include some detail, so if anyone reading this needs additional help completing them, please feel free to ask.
