If it ain’t broke, don’t repair it’s a good motto to have, and so it proves with our first port of name this week. Now, do you bear in mind again within the mists of time, on the primary Forza Horizon recreation field, the hero automotive was a Dodge Viper, a fetching yellow one if I bear in mind rightly. Properly, the star of this week’s weekly automotive problem is the exact same Viper, the 2013 SRT GTS no much less!
Fortunately, the problem to smash stuff this week “Dax Supply” will see you win this automotive in the event you don’t have it, and in the event you’d favor to purchase it, it’s a mere 95,000 credit on the Autoshow.

With two occasions this time too, a lot to my deep pleasure. Nonetheless, at the very least we will win some tasty prizes, proper?

Nonetheless, a change is nearly as good as a relaxation, as they are saying.
The Trial – Inventory Showdown : 2013 Shelby GT500
The Trial is again, and this week it means I don’t must tune something, as the one allowable state of tune is bone inventory.
Seize a Shelby GT500, attempt to preserve it pointing in roughly the precise route (simpler mentioned than completed in a automotive with the identical primary suspension setup as a lined wagon) and beat these driverbots.

Eventlab #2 – GT DENT Presents: Coastal City Circuit Professional
Second bout of Eventlab nonsense sees us needing to utilise a VW Corrado, tuned to a most of C Class 600. Not going to be a excessive pace occasion, is it? Nonetheless, I put my finest foot ahead and used a bone inventory Corrado, and as there’s solely us on the monitor, it’s onerous to lose.
It is a course that outstays its welcome, with every lap being about 50% too lengthy, however it isn’t too painful.
