    Quite a few of the Time Trials objectives (in Career Mode) have unrealistically fast objectives that cannot be met with the provided vehicles, such as:

    Solar Circuit
    Urban Ascent
    Commercial Crossover

    I'm 99% confident I'm not having a skill issue, especially with urban ascent. My best time was a 2:55 and the 3-star time is 2:25.

    Thanks for feedback :)
    Forwarded it to our career team and the answer is that the goals of those time trials are set with player using personal vehicle, so it is expected that the default provided car may not reach the time goal

    Yep exactly as Ai'Torror explained; The provided vehicle(s) is more than capable of getting at least one star, and usually two, but if you want to get all three stars it's recommended to try your own vehicle. This is to allow players to go back and earn more with their own personalized vehicle(s).

    The confusion is understandable, unfortunately at the moment this isn't communicated clearly yet, as it's still work in progress. The ultimate goal is that players will be provided a vehicle to use and once they achieve at least one star, they will unlock the ability to use their own vehicle, and in a future release this will all be made clear, and the why and how of it will all make sense :)

    Some time trials allow you to select between multiple vehicles as well, so be sure to try out the vehicles provided! Other than the struggle to get three stars, I hope you're enjoying the time trial layouts, and as always, thanks a lot for the feedback!

    Hey, so I went through the time trials you mentioned to verify and found two issues:

    1: It's not obvious that you can select another provided vehicle - there are sometimes options for more than one (again WIP, apologies)
    2: The balance on Urban Ascent was wrong, it was set for 2 laps, not 3, and should make it into our first hotfix when it's released :)

    Thanks a lot for bringing these issues to our attention!

    Would like to add to this, the Simple Reverse time trial at gravel track currently uses the same checkpoint layout as reverse loop, but demands the player finish in 1:44 instead of 2:09. Considering 1 star cannot be obtained with the default car, I believe it is using the wrong checkpoint layout.
    Its the only time trial I don't have 3 stars on so far, feels like id have to use a heavily upgraded scintilla just to have a chance, as my PB using the FCV rally config but with max horsepower is still 4 seconds off of 2 stars.

    Yup, the issue was the race used to be a different layout, and it was changed to later in the series, and made more difficult, but the timing, race layout, and scoring wasn't carried over correctly (tools are still WIP and often cause problems like this, growing pains and all) but that was what I fixed. Thanks for ensuring all the details were known! I'm not positive if it will make it into the hotfix or not, but fingers crossed! :)
