The best T1 Cars for Tempest

If you take a closer look at the times to beat in T1, you can easily see that there are several T1 class cars that can beat those times. Especially the VW Golf, but also the Ford Fiesta ST are the favorites.

To master all the challenges in T1 you need four cars. Three for the elite licenses and one to win the crew and Tempest races. Why is this so? Why can’t you drive all the races with one car?

Simply because the cars you used to obtain the Elite Licenses are banned from the Tempest races.

I only used Ford Fiestas to drive all the challenges of class T1. Why? The Ford Fiesta is the cheapest car you can buy in CSR2, only $28,500. You can max the Fiesta relatively quickly by buying and stripping other identical cars from the dealership.

If you are lucky enough to own a 1 star Fiesta then max it. This applies to all cars in CSR2. Stars mean that you can fit more fusion parts and the car is faster than its starless counterpart.

The best T2 Cars

I can warmly recommend the Porsche Boxster 718 for the Tempest Races, this car masters all challenges without problems. For the Speedtraps you have to work a little bit on the tuning set-up, but everything else is a piece of cake. For Tempest 3 Speedtraps it has to be maximized quite a bit.

The elite licenses of the class T2 I have mastered with the Ferrari 250 GTO, a Ford Focus RS and the Hyundai Ark Performance Veloster, also a breeze. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the order anymore :(.

My Elite License Cars

Car	Stage 6	Fusions	NOS	Trans	Tires	Time
Ferrari 250 GTO	39 / 42 – Transmission, Turbo and Engine missing	39 / 45	203 / 5.4	2.08	0 / 100	9.2xx
Ford Focus RS	39 / 42 – Intake, NOS and Body missing	37 / 45	227 / 3.2	3.02	56 / 44	10.7xx
Hyundai Ark Performance Veloster	36 / 42 only Tires S6	42 / 60	241 / 3.6	4.43	31 / 69	10.5xx

So i guess I used the Focus for Elite 1, the Hyundai for Elite 2 and the Ferrari for Elite 3. It’s obvious, isn’t it.

The Tempest Porsche 718 Boxster S totally maxed out

For the Porsche to make this time you have to choose a completely unusual setup. Reset your engine upgrades to factory settings, the transmission to Stage 5, and the Boxster will make the 8,507s on the 1/4 mile

The best T3 Cars

My choice for the Tempest races was a 0 star BMW M4, which I purchased for $200,000 from the dealer. If you own a 2 star BMW M4, then use this car. The M4 is the perfect choice for all the times to beat in T3 Tempest because you can upgrade it relatively quickly for little money. Just buy and strip more M4s and you will have maximized your Tempest car within a few weeks.

2 Star BMW M4 totally maxed

Car	Stars	NOS	Trans	Tires	Shift pattern	1/4 mile time
BMW M4 Coupe	2 yellow	371 / 5.3	4.99	0 / 100	Perfect start, good shift to 2nd, very early shift to 3rd and NOS, good shift to 4th and 5th, perfect to 6th & 7th	8.507

Amelia's LB M4 Coupe	38 / 42 – Turbo, Tires, Transmission and Engine missing	50 / 84	353 / 5.5	2.73	25 / 75	9.210

The best T4 Cars

For Tempest 3 T4 I used the BMW M5 Competition. A march through without the slightest problem. I admit my M5 was fully maximized and therefore I had no doubt to win Donna’s Ferrari. The BMW is the perfect combination of acceleration and top speed. I only had to change the tuning for the 230 MPH and the 250 MPH, otherwise I left it as if the car was fully built. To conclude, the M5 is the car you should use to master Tempest 3 times to beat in T4.

The best T5 Cars

Tempest 3 T5 isn’t a challenge at all. I used the Porsche GT2 RS. A march through without the slightest problem. My Porsche wasn’t even fully maximized, it was missing two stage 6 parts and several fusions. The Porsche isn’t the perfect combination of acceleration and top speed. I had to change the tuning for the 0-100 challenges. To conclude, the Porsche GT2 RS is one of many cars you can use to master Tempest 3 in T5.

• Evantra Millecavalli

Should I use/buy Super Nitrous to beat the Boss Times?

No, not at all. Don’t do that. Super Nitrous is completely unnecessary if you have taken enough time and have built and maximized your car properly. You can really save yourself the money, Super Nitrous costs up to $10.99 (iOS) depending on the car class, it might not even be worth the car you win with it 🙂 Obviously, you don’t want to spend that much money.
