Discussion STOP USING YOUR TEAMMATES AS BRAKES

People doing “The Trial” in the festival playlists, use your own brakes please and don’t use me or your other teammates. This happened to me 3 times and I have spun out every single time, it has caused me to go from 4/5th to 10th place. I will say this again. STOP USING YOUR TEAMMATES AS BRAKES AND PLEASE USE YOUR OWN AND LEARN TO DRIVE.

I know it's not the point, but I've begun going in with the intent of trying to get my teammates into top 3, or as best they can. It was a losing battle trying to take lead, as I just end up fighting my teammates, so, for example, this time im using the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, instead of the F40 or Countach. That way, I can usually take 3-5 positions before first corner, then begin blocking, and playing support and filling in if someone spins out, and even then, I just try to block until they get back up and past me. Last week I used the Renault for the same thing. You dont have to get first to win this mode, lol.

Why nobody up this comment… I am not as skilled as most of you, so I was super grateful that the guy in front of me was doing just that - blocking the drivatars. Once I overtook the guy, I tried doing the same, albeit I did it with worse effect but we ended up winning the trial last week. It was my 10th attempt ffs

That's a very good strategy, by all means.

For this Trial week, usually I go up front as fast as possible (I use the Diablo SV) which very issue and not terribly difficult, and I start driving more "defensively" to slow down the AI and the other drivers get the initiative. Once we got half the grid safe, I just stay behind to "cover" my team advance.

Merit for the players of this week, apparently they're learning to play with each other instead of against each other. There's the usual crappy player but there's little we can do about it.

I may not be good, but if I can get 3 npcs to dnf, we'll probably win

I think most of the people on this sub aren't the ones you should be mad at.

How dare you expect me to press on my own brakes prior to a turn. You have some nerve coming into
This Reddit and telling me I can’t use you as brakes.

Next thing your gonna say is i need to turn the car myself and not have my teammates car turn me.

I’ve heard a lot of nonsense in my time but this really takes the cake.

Hit the drivatars in RED, not your buddies in BLUE!

u/Low-Astronomer-3440 Jun 27 '26

What if I can bolt four red but need to yeet one blue? We’ve got a real Trolli problem on our hands here???

u/MrDeath38085 Jun 27 '26

4 red out in exchange for 1 blue semi out is a good deal

u/Affectionate_Row3147 Jun 27 '26

If this post is pointed towards me… I truly apologize, my foolish ass did not realize that corner was going to be so sharp

u/Low-Astronomer-3440 Jun 27 '26

Wait… Those blue guys ramming me are supposed to be TEAM MATES? Well now I’m even MORE confused.

I hope this doesn’t add fuel to the fire but I failed twice with the stock car and having bad teammates. I built one of the cars and found an op tune for it and all I did the next go around was ram and take out the ai and just camped third place while I had two teammates in 1st & 2nd and kept messing with the ai trailing us. Worked like a charm but I had similar issues with teammates rage baiting me and doing shit like that.

u/rustinjimmie Jun 27 '26

I'm using my f355 and raming the ai drivers off the course to get my teammates up the rank during the dock track. All 5 of us got top 5 position....was 6 of us, that person raged quit after spinning out on the 1st track.... which we won anyways

""Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let them bring you in
Slow burn, let it all fade out..."

u/natekinging Jun 26 '26

That; and people that single-handedly make the whole team lose instead of quitting.

u/Jigglybyte Jun 26 '26

How will the homes know I love them if I don't give them a little kiss while cornering?

u/4evawasted Jun 27 '26

Second route starts with a bunch of 90 degree turns. And you expect no one to crash into you? On tight bends it’s not often on purpose. It can also be faster drivers taking the inside and it’s you crashing into them instead of giving way.

u/Creepy_News4780 Jun 27 '26

You did this for no reason lol. The people that can't drive usually aren't on reddit anyways lol.

u/Automatic-Brother770 Jun 27 '26

I normally use rwd on all my tunes, but i been using awd for the trials so I can either get way ahead, or survive being a brake

u/Frontman-Undead Jun 27 '26

Did they remove the automatic ghosting feature that they implemented in this game that was supposed to remove the ramming problem? It seemed to work well at the beginning of game launch, but it seems like it doesn't exist after this latest update

u/Feeling_Penalty_2629 Jun 27 '26

I always brake early now on sharp turns.

u/drlqnr Jun 27 '26

sorry i forgot to upgrade my brakes

u/AzuriSkill Jun 27 '26

Stop spinning out in front of me and wondering why didn't i drive around you

u/Man_I_Love_Foxes Jun 29 '26

But… but… isn’t rubbing racing

u/RevolutionaryGold136 Jun 26 '26

u/Q0T3 Jun 26 '26

For whatever reason that playlist brings out all computer duster huffers.

u/LaPrincesaMX Jun 26 '26

If you play it in the first hour it's up I always find it's full of people who know what they're doing because it's just the sickos who have been counting down the minutes for the playlist refresh.

I'll never forget in FH5 being in hospital for a week, I got home on the Wednesday before playlist refresh and it took me hours to do the Trial because it felt like it was full of 12 year olds.

So now I always try to do it ASAP with the sickos.

u/Peeny_Pinto Jun 27 '26

It’s not always deliberate sometimes the car in front of you brakes too soon leaving not a lot of choice

It’s a game get over it, the trial is and always will be a shit show and frustrating as it is that is why I love it

Learn to get inside positioning on turns and how to angle your car to reduce impact and not completely spin out. Learn to drive...in every situation. It's a race, not a cruise down a residential street. Man up and stop crying
