Trial lols

[Joey Two Bastards]

Joined the Trial, we won the first round, lost the second, and were set to lose the 3rd - I was in 3rd but most of the other drivers had a last minute nightmare.

They quit before the end.

I, alone, won. I guess that's good teamwork really but it did make me lol.

I mean it's just good etiquette, if it's the last race and your team's gonna lose regardless and your score is negatively impacting the race, then quit cause you're gonna lose regardless.

True, I wasn't expecting it is all. I was sitting there not even looking properly thinking "ok, go again in a minute" and then there I was on the stage alone, "Blue Team Wins!"

Just had the same thing.
Clowns won't quit despite that they're last places with 0 points and no chance to fix that.
Edit: We actually won somehow but still the above thing stands as it's always a case.

Nothing worse than carrying the dead-weight players that refuse to drop out when they are in last place through 2/3 races.

Is there a way to see what tracks will be played for the Trial and other weeklies, because I'm always very very annoyed when it turns out to be offroad and I didn't select the right car for that.

Things outside of the trial are literally what the race type covers, for the trial (and technically other races) just hover over the icon on the map and you'll get the course layout, if it goes offroad all 3 maps will go offroad.

Yes, you can do that. Go to the starting point of the Trial or Championship and open it. There you can press X to view the list of the tracks.

Also, every championship in the Festival Playlist menu has an icon on it's card which shows the type of tracks. Trial doesn't have this feature, it's always the same icon for it.

And the final thing: look at the screenshot on the card for the Trial or Championship. It is ususally taken on the same type of road used for this Championship.

For Championships from the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure DLCs use the first method, other two not always could be trusted for those.

What's even the point of team based races if you're just gonna expect everyone who can't catch up to leave?

If someone isn't a ignorant individual and has some common sense then it's a normal thing to leave if they can't catch up.
But then again fh5 is filled with kids and trash players in general so not much to expect there.
Besides trial races aren't even team based.
It's a literal free for all most of the time with all the nonsense going on there.

That's team spirit, taking one for the team. "Go on without me, I'm just holding you back" sort of thing. Of course if you're first and teammates are struggling there's always the option of holding the AI back so they can catch - but if they all crash on the final lap there's not much chance of that working.

I would have agreed if the trials in 5 weren't already so piss easy to begin with.
You can run another one, chances are you'll win anyway, it's not that big of a deal.

Not easy enough if there's still people that can't choose proper cars that later leads to them being unable to keep up and still refusing to leave when they got no chances of getting any points.

If I'm in a patient mood I'll help people get through the trial. They all deserve the rewards and if they get banished to the undercard, they'll never get them on their own. The game has such a huge diversity of players from 3 year olds to people with zero co-ordination or
generally suck at games. Only takes 2 or 3 relatively skilled players to win.

If I'm not feeling so patient, I skip the trial altogether and make the 10 points up elsewhere.

If I like a Trial I go back and help people once I've done it. Saw someone do the same once, realised what they were doing and thought that this is a nice thing to do. Plus trolling the AI is fun. But, if you pass me then try anything funny, I'll troll YOU and let the AI past...
