that was before i even started playing and i'm here for more than 2 years
Mercedes x5. Back when you could run a hand of partially-built epics and Ultra Rares and still be undefeated.
Was it offroad? Because i remember winning my first CF in some Mercedes off-road final, the 333 6x6 being really strong there and my lucky card.
I think that was for either the P1 or 918 first time round. Having a 333 6x6 and a GLE 63 S was dominant against everyone else's Rare 280 GE and UR G63.
Thanks. I got a sweaty T2 and was really excited. Always wondered which prizecar it was all about.
Don't really know. I tried quickly to find the Finals thread, but came up with nothing.
If you want to try and find it, the first event ended on 02/05/18 and the second chance event ended on 02/09/18.

Actually I think I am wrong about it. 918 was Porsche and P1 was Ford (no idea how I won that – must have been a late join lol). Now I'm confused and can't remember what it was.

I counted myself reasonably lucky to have pulled one ER epic (which is still stock), how the **** are you supposed to field 4/5 maxed epics and legends that you’ll need in a fortnight when it’s all but impossible to pull them other than in specific CFs.
Probably the most cynical cash grab yet, despite the game now being the most unstable it’s ever been. They will almost certainly nerf the Senna in a year’s time just before releasing one of the Peugeot Le Mans cars, so I won’t be wasting my money.
Thanks for remembering! This was my second re-run actually, but the first one where I was able to beat the owner's challenge, so that was nice.
(This is not the thread for it, but while I'm here and for anyone wondering, the 2nd hot fix for PL12 just finally got approved by Google Play so is starting to roll out on Android now).
Regarding prize car choice and correction/nerf-conspiracy: when a new car comes in, it can clarify what the performance hierarchy of a certain set of cars should be, and you'll see corrections to existing cars on that basis, as car correction experts will know. This could go either way, although if we're adding newer cars (like 2019 or 2020) I suppose it's likely they will be at the top of a hierarchy, and rather than engage in some sort of stat-inflation we'd rather adjust the older cars downwards to respect the performance hierarchy. But then I would say that, wouldn't I.
Anyway, time for some benchmarks. I've re-run these results for cars that had their performance change in PL12. First up, the S96 2013 McLaren Senna: Nothing too surprising there based on the stats; it loses to the McLaren P1 on fast tracks, but wins on the twistier ones.
I also though it would make sense to look again at the monthly challenge Arc 6 prize, the S83 2016 KTM X-Bow GT4, after it has had some corrections:
The X-Bow GT4 does sit a little strangely among its peers; a worse 0-60, better handling, worse weight, better MRA. Perhaps most notable is that it can even beat a Superlight R500 in a Twisty Circuit, but of course it would need the upgrades to match.
Perhaps more interesting is it has the joint-equal highest handling of all of our "Rest of the World" cars (country = Sweden/Austria/Australia/Netherlands/Croatia, if you want to check that in the filters).
@Hutch_Tim In the list of fixes there was a change from 0-100 to 5.1 seconds for the McLaren Senna. In your testing 0-100 is 5.3 seconds. So this change didn't happen in the game?

Can you please show us how it compares against the P1 GTR.

If you want to try and find it, the first event ended on 02/05/18 and the second chance event ended on 02/09/18.
First 918 Tri-Series was Porsche x5
Second 918 Tri-Series was French Renaissance x5, DS x2
P1 was Ford x5, with the GT40 prize car available for use
Is this your first re-run?
It just got improved in last update while P1 GTR which is probably its main competitor from same manufacturer got nerfed a bit.
Expected 5x Volvo or 5x Peugeot as previous updates showed.
When you know the modus operandi too well
Shame we can't see who disagrees like we used to be able to
