Best Cars and Tunes for Series 3 Week 2 Trial

With an S1 800 PI limit strictly applied to the iconic Prancing Horse brand, you want a car that balances raw acceleration with exceptional handling to tackle the Unbeatable AI.

Ferrari 458 Italia

Tuning Focus: All-Rounder Grip

Ferrari F8 Tributo

Ferrari F50

Key Tuning Tip

Do not enter the Trial with a stock vehicle.

Head to the Custom Upgrade menu and tune your chosen Ferrari as close to S1 800 as possible. Prioritize an AWD (All-Wheel Drive) conversion for stronger launches and equip Race Tyres to maximize grip through high-speed corners.

How to Win the Trial: 3 Co-Op Strategies

Because the Trial scores players as a blue team against the red AI team, teamwork is just as important as individual pace.

1. Master the Team-Blocking Strategy

If you manage to reach the front of the field, don't simply drive away.

Watch the minimap and, if your teammates are stuck behind the Drivatars, carefully position your car to slow the AI down. This gives your teammates opportunities to pass, dramatically increasing your team's overall score.

2. Play Clean and Yield to Faster Teammates

Avoid contact with your own teammates whenever possible.

If another human player is clearly running a faster tune, let them through. Every Drivatar your team finishes ahead of is worth 100 points to everyone, while overtaking a teammate contributes nothing to the team score.

3. Queue Up Early on Thursday

Experienced players and top tuners usually complete the Festival Playlist immediately after the weekly reset on Thursday.

Launching the Trial early in the week gives you the best chance of matching with skilled teammates who understand the mechanics, stay through all three races, and greatly improve your odds of earning the rewards.
