I think we can all say it's been a messy update. The wacky sales, buggy patches, and all of that. I got locked out of the game for 62 hours and thus lost my 100% daily login streak since November 26th, 2019, 59 days shy of 1000.
Anyways this week might either be a treat or your worst nightmare. It’s time to blow our minds at Mount Panorama, with a super fast on the straights Apollo, the corner-munching Volkswagen ID.R, and the brand new Aston Martin Valhalla!
Performance wise, unfortunately for Valhalla winners, the ID.R has the clear advantage this week. Despite being miserably slow on the straights compared to the other two, the cornering advantage, especially for those who can take the mountain section like its Pikes Peak run, will be the deciding factor. However I know this combo is going to be a nightmare, precision is key and it might be very hard to get a run. So for those of you who want a slightly easier option, the Apollo, although slower, is also quick. It does have the Evija speed effect, but it also has the cornering ability to neutralize the effect. I’m one of those who really started appreciating the Apollo after the Jesko event, and once you get used to it, you’ll find it’s actually a very quick, very fun car to drive, and 2.2g will feel like 2.2g. The Apollo has at least B potential, let’s see if Sunnyboy and those fast drivers can make it into A.
Unfortunately Valhalla owners, that car is not looking quick. Around a circuit where getting runs out of corners matters a lot, the Valhalla, although it has better acceleration than the Valkyrie, is by far the slowest car this week. If you saw just the sheer speed of the other cars in Stage 4.1 in the Valhalla event, you’ll get what I mean. Not only does it not have the acceleration of the others, but it also lacks the downforce that the Valkyrie has. Granted, it’s not supposed to be a Valkyrie clone, but I did expect more from it. I tested my Valkyrie which is similar on performance (maybe a bit faster too) to an FU Valhalla, and I could not go faster than my all 3’s Apollo, even with the extra downforce. Idk where it’ll sit, but I’m thinking C to E depending on your upgrades. Maybe I just don’t like the car, but I can tell you it won’t be that fast.
