CSR2 ShowDown Event (Season 270) – Best Cars & Tunes

The current Prestige Cup car, the Menthey Porsche is racing all the other cars into the ground since they are all super slow T5. So, max it out for the Prestige Cup and take the chance to get high here on the ladder as well.

Pretty straightforward ShowDown this week with the Prestige Cup car being the only T5 car makes things quite easy in terms of selection and hard in terms of execution for us all.

Pretty straightforward ShowDown this week. One note, though: The Ferrari 599XX in the purple star version runs significantly faster (with 7.4xx time and I am sure that is a bug – but if you have it in the purple star version you will have by far the fastest car). If not, the Pagani and the Ultima are a good chunk faster so you don’t have to build it.

All cars are close enough together to pick your personal best option. Thechnically the Radford is the fasterst and if you have thet one built from a previous season this is the ideal setup but honestly a maxed Noble or Sterrato also do the trick to save some cash here.

Pretty obvious roaster since the Ferrari Amalfi turned out to be such a slow car that it was really hard to find enough relevant cars being as slow. I really don#t understand how you can make a T5 Milestone Car in 2026 that is running above 8 seconds…

What a smoking pile of trash of a roaster… So to cover up that they had a T4 Milestone Car last season they entered a super slow Prestige Cup T5 this season (like the 3rd time they used the Aston Martin One-77 as Prestige Cup car in the 8 years it is in the game). But now that nobody wants to build the Mercedes since it is still slower, they just entered a much faster Zenvo TS1 GT out of nowhere. I really don’t understand why not just make a T4 Prestige Cup car this season then and a full T4 roaster?! Well, there must be a reason I don’t see, … anyway… the roaster with the times above. Good luck on the track.

All T5 cars are pretty competitive here so you don’t necessarily need to build the Honda if you have the Bentley or Porsche already well-built.

Using the Prestige Cup car is alright I guess if you want to save some resources and don’t feel like building the Milestone Car from alst season right all the way, espcially as the McLaren GT is on max Stage 5 already quite fast compared to what T5 cars normally do in those time ranges.

Using the Prestige Cup car here is like dynamite fishing in a Goldfish Bowl. The T3 cars are nothing and will get nothing as everyone will run the Lamborghini so that is what you ‘choice’ this week looks like.

All T4 cars are competitive enough, only the Prestige Cup car as T3 is not getting anywhere in this event but honestly if it is the only car you have and it is maxed, it still can get you a few reward tiers.

All T5 cars are practically working well here but keep in mind, in case the Lamborghini is your cr of choice, that it is without all the Stage 6 upgrdes relatively slow.

First time in a while where we have such a close bracket here with pretty much all eligable T5 cars are being competitive. Mind I listed the Gold-Star times so if you have a purple-star version they run somewhat around 0.05 seconds faster than their gold-star versions.

The McLaren Elva is the car of choice, simply because it is so much faster and you can pretty much max it for free through the Prestige Cup.

Super clear setup this week with the Prestige Cup car on top by so much, there is not even a thought to be given to any of the other cars, simply for being the only T5 car in the roaster.

Super clear setup this week with the PRestige Cup car on top by so much, there is not even a thought to be given to any of the other cars.

Very fair roaster here with options for almost everyone, including the Noble as oldtimer in the roaster. The G-Wagon has no chance here, obviously, but I’m sure most of you have one of the T5 cars available.

Pretty solid roaster here with options for everyone honestly. Please mind the Shelby Super Snake is the 2025 version, not the Elite Custom version! Also, check the Stage 5 setups if you don’t have the cars maxed as the Super Snake is better unless fully maxed for most players.

The Porsche will be the car that runs the show, being so long in the game and with the basically free chance to max out through the Prestige Cup + we also got a purple-star version for Pride Day a few years ago so expect everyone running it and so should you.

Absolutely wicked roaster with the Prestige Cup car dominating everything. Good news for you as it will be cheap to build, bad for you as everyone will have it so competition will be tight.

The Audi is the fastest and since it’s the Prestige Cup car prepare yourself for a lot of races with a maxed car versus maxed cars here. The T3 cars are alright but can’t keep up simply because maxing out the Audi is something that is too easy to do for most players.

The Audi is the fastest (if I am not wrong it was a Milestone Car in 2024ish) so if you have it you don’t need to build the Murcielago if you want to save up some cash after the event marathon we just had. The Jaguar can be a backup if you don’t have access to the Milestone Car and the Prestige Cup car, the CLA 350, will be far to slow to get you anywhere.

Quite a fair roaster and I honestly like that they pushed the Champions ShowDown more to be competitive with multiple cars rather than some of the crooked roaster we saw earlier this year. So, you probably have picked up a Zonda Cinque over the years and they all are re-skins of each other so they all run the same time and setup. If you got the Radford earlier this year through Crew Milestone that is also an option, the prestige Cup car is far behind unfortunately but if you have it maxed, you can still push quite a bit with it since the Zonda has a high performance-threshold (it needs quite a lot of Stage 6 upgrades to be able to run in the lower 7-seconds range) so a maxed Corvette can beat the Hondas that have 3-4 Stage 6 upgrades still.

Very fair roaster this week with several options that are competitive, feels actually like a real ShowDown.

Be aware this week that the Milestone Car from alst season, the 12Cilindri SPIDER is the slowest car here and not just a reskin of the regular 12Cilindri! So, do not build and upgrade it if you have any other car decently build. Also, the Shelby Super Snake is not the Elite Custom one, it’s the Prestige Cup car!

Super straight choice here with the T5 Aston Martin (no matter of you have the Roadster or not), they do run the show here. They also run practically identical.

Very linear roaster here and actually if you do have the ABT RS6-R in good condition I would think about saving some cash with ART5 going on right now and skip building the Hyundai. The difference, unless you shoot for the stars with maxed cars here, is not that much and the Audi performs pretty well across the board here. By the way, don’t confuse the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N with the 5 N NPX1, they are two different cars int he game and funny enough the NPX1 version is a slight tad slower.

Very fair ShowDown roaster and if you got the Acura NSX here (was the Milestone Car in January 2023), you don’t need to build the Porsche 911 S/T.Both cars are really pretty much the same here to use. The Prestige Cup car is not competitive this season since it is the only T4 car in the roaster.

This is a pretty straightforward roaster here with the Milestone Car behind on top, but only by a  margin so feel free to use the Elva instead. In terms of what Elva to use, in the realistic case you have both, the 2021 version is a lot faster without being maxed so check which one of them is further built in terms of Stage 6 parts. The Artura and Audi are far behind so only use them if you have no other option.

Use the Prestige Cup car all the way here, it’s the only T5 and maxing it out was never easier and more useful than in this season.

It has never been easier to build a sub-7-seconds T5 car in the game as now with the Ferrari and even with a Lamborghini Countach in your garage I would do it, just because it’s such a gorgeous and fast/easy car to have. Which of the two you take is down to which one you have built further since they are almost identical in performance. The Prestige Cup car is not worth taking since all the other cars even at Stage 5 will outrace it.

Let’s put together a competitive roaster of T3 cars… and the Prestige Cup car which is a T5… I mean this is a very clear thing here to use the McLaren 750S, nothing else.

Actually a decent-ish roaster where you either use the Milestone Car from last season of if you are a veteran player you have the P1 surely in your garage to use so you don’t have to build the Milestone Car. The Prestige Cup car is not worth running here since it is a T3 but the DBX 707 was a Prestige Cup car already so maybe you can just use that one. I know not the fairest roaster here but one that will work for most players.

Weirdest roaster for a ShowDown since the Audi is the only T4 car that is actually running well here. And since that is the Prestige Cup Car the only valid car you should use.

It’s a T4 ShowDown but funny enough the only T3 car in the roaster is not the slowest. But that doesn’t actually make it all too competitive here but it’s good news for those who don’t have access to the previous milestone car as the Prestige Car is still somewhat alright.

Close top roaster and the Prestige Cup car far behind, even if it wouldn’t be such a slow T4 car. If you have a Maserato or Noble ready you can think about building the V12 Vantage but honestly it’s such a beautiful car it’s worth it.

Tough order here for the ShowDown with the Milestone Car from last season as the realistic pick for most players and honestly also worth building – you never get the chance to build a 6.7xx seconds car that cheaply again with the Bronze Key crates to pull for the upgrades. Overall fair and well-done roaster for everyone in my opinion

The Prestige Cup car, the McLaren 2021 Elva is the fastest car here unless you have the purple star version of the Ultima Evolution fully maxed in your garage (mind that only the purple star version can compete, the regular version is significantly slower). So, Elva it is, easiest to build, fastest even with only Stage 5 parts and you need to build it anyways.

The situation is pretty clear here, both T5 cars are absolutely close to each other so if you have a maxed 765LT Spider, you don’t need to build the Porsche. The T4 cars are way behind in this ShowDown.

Pretty fair overall structure with the cars all head to head. The Prestige Cup car is off the competitions, sad, but most players will have one of the T5 cars so it looks fair and square and I personally always love when I can take the McLaren 722 out of the garage for a spin.

Long story short for this ShowDown is use the Batur as you will build it for the Prestige Cup anyways. If you have a maxed COPO Camaro in your garage, great for you, that will rush everything the ground but if not don#t even bother too much. The T4 cars are also a waste of time here so none to upgrade the Audi Milestone Car I guess we will see that shine in a later T4 ShowDown in a few months when it is the Prestige Cup car. Oh and little fun-fact on top of that… if you run the COPO Camaro ’50th Anniversary Edition’ which was a paid car a couple years ago, it runs 6.9xx seconds so nobody will even remotely have a chance against that.

With the Radford as old T5 car in the roaster, there is not much wiggle room if you don’t have it. And if you do, you will have to build it if you want some decent rewards since the T4 cars are quite a tad slower.

The Aston Martin is crushing it, for sure, but the Regret is good enough as it is an easy and available car to most players to get you some good results as well. The Honda as T3 car is for sure not competitive!

All the T5 cars are so close to each other that it literally doesn’t matter which one you take – so you don’t have to build the Ferrari neccessarily unless you want to be in the bracket of the fully maxed cars.

All the T5 cars are so close to each other that it literally doesn’t matter which one you take – so you don’t have to build the Huracan Sterrato if you have one of the other ones already ready to go. Update: The lamborghini Sterrato is on paper the fastest car but also incredible inconsistent with the needle drop at start so if you can avoid it, don’t use it in ShowDown you will do yourself a huge favor and save yourself a lot of cash upgrading it.

Realistically you have two options here – one is if you have the Atlantic Concept built you can use it, the difference is very small. If not, there’s not going to be much around building the 2021 Elva. The other cars are all significantly slower and will not get you into the good rewards…

Pretty clear roaster here with the previous Milestone Car clear top with 0.3 seconds of lead so if you want to finish high in this ShowDown you need to build it. If not, well, the Lamborghini and the PRestige Cup car, the Porsche 718, are so close to each other that usiing the Porsche will be the car of choice for pretty much all players (also because it’s easiert to drive). The Audi is so far behind, do not even bother.

Super funky roaster with the slow T5 car of the Prestige Cup, naturally, being the fastest car so no need to use any other car. I am a bit sad since I love the LB Works Countach and hoped to have a chance upgrading it but with the new American Roadtrip Event going ons aving up some cash isn’t the worst either. I don’t want to spread this as a rumour but every time a super uninteresting and slow T5 is the Prestige Cup car where players might think about skipping it, the devs seem to push a roaster like this in ShowDown to still make everyone upgrade it.

Overall, if you have the Jaguar or the ATS sitting around you don’t need to build the Artura Spider (and I honestly would save up all the cash you can before American Road Trip 4 starts soon).

This is a wild roaster with the top cars being 1 second faster than the other cars. I mean if you got the Aurora Tur you want to max it out, it’s a great car so this event is great for pulling the crates for all the Stage 6 parts and then let it roll.

Honestly, this is how the roaster of the Champions ShowDown should look like to be fair – the previous Milestone car (Porsche Taycan) is the fastest car but there is another option to compete with it (McLaren). So you can build the car if you want a small edge but also you don’t have to. The Prestige Cup car is significantly slower. The McLaren 765LT was featured quite a lot over the past years so chances are high you don’t have to build the Taycan unless you want to, which makes this a fair event looking at how you obtain those cars.

Realistically, you probably have to build the Milestone car, the Aston Martin, unless you have the Koenigsegg in your garage well-built to compete. The Prestige Cup car is too slow to get you anywhere in this ShowDown.

Since the top cars are running so close together, you don’t really have to run the Milestone BMW M4 Sedan from previous season and can save yourself the cash and keys for building it since the Prestige Cup car will run pretty much the same time.

Really wild roaster with the Prestige Cup car on top and the previous Milestone Car at the very bottom – good news is that most of you will already have the Mercedes built so you can go through that easily. But for the newer players this is more like a bad thing if you have to build it from scratch to catch up here.

A pretty fair ShowDown here with several cars being close together. Yes, the Prestive Cup car is not competitive but that is no surprise but I think most of you guys have one of the T5 cars available and if you do, you don’t even hae to build the previous Milestone Car, which I believe is very fair. I really wish we would see more of those Champion ShowDown roasters in the future.

If you think this is a mistake here, believe it. The developers have a T3 Milestone Car and other T3 cars but since the current Prestige Cup car is T5 they only have that in the roaster without any other T5 car – which leads to the funky result that the Prestige Cup car, although being a horribly slow T5 car, outrunning all the T3 cars by a mile easily. The good news here is, you can save up some resources to build the new Elite Tuner car as this will be the apex car in the upcoming Elite ShowDown in Season 210. I have said it before, although we see some cool cars as Milestone Cars that are T3, it will mess up the roasters for ShowDown so much that the devs should just stop making T3 cars Milestone Cars and flat out the pattern between T4 and T5 cars… but I mean after years I just don’t think they ever will and I can only assume that they have it in their agreements with the manufacturers that they have to feature the car somehow in the game (only my assumption that would at least explain this somehow, I have no insights on this!). Update! Also the special edition of the Ultima, the Ultima Evolution Coupe Supercharged, is in the roaster. It was only available in packs and in the Evo Cup and it runs a time of 7.1xx so even with the purple Ultima Evolution Coupe you are hopelessly behind here. My advice for this ShowDown is to lay your head down and do what you can but there is no way you can be competitive without that car…

Either upgrade the Atlantic Conept or use the Regera. I think the Regera is sitting in most garages after being featured in Race Pass and multiple events over the past years. Mind that the Nissan is the 2021 version and not the older one! The Prestige Cup car is worthless in this event.

Honestly, I do not understand why the devs don’t simply have the same tier cars for Prestige Cup and as Milestone car… would make things less messy. In this case, we have the Prestige Cup car as T5 car as the fastest car so there is literally no point in upgrading the Z NISMO. Basically free for all, which is great for the majority of players. This is one of the rare cases where it works inf favor of F2P, so don’t bother and simply max out the Prestige Car for free and you’re good to go.

The battle here is pretty clear, but that is normal if we have a T5 Milestone car in the previous season and a T4 Prestige Cup car in the current one – the T5 cars are the only viable options and you can think about investing into the Batur if you have the Fenyr Supersport (hosten in so many events so far) pretty maxed since their final times aren’t that crazy away from each other.

This ShowDown is literally Utopia VS Venom and the gaps between the cars after that make the priority very clear. Especially with the Utopia having been a free car and the Venom available in so many events you will see so many players have them that it’s not worth building any other car for this ShowDown event.

This is the first time for a very long time that I actually love the roaster of the ShowDown and wish the devs would make it like that all the time. All cars are close enough together, the Milestone Car has a slight advantage but not too great so every player can think about saving the upgrade costs and then two filler cars that also run around the same time. This is going to be a fair and fun ShowDown for most players and I really hope to see those more in the future!

With the Cadillac as Prestige Cup car being a solid T4 car, I actually hoped we can see quite a balanced roaster… but the devs thought instead “why not put two extremely fast T5 cars in there that run significantly below 7 seconds to beat up every player that doesn’t have them”. Even. the Mercedes here is just a little spray paint, since the Rimac and the Hennessey are without full Stage 5 upgrades faster than the Mercedes and the Cadillac fully maxed. Is it because the Easter Event is accessible for many players they thought to make a P2W ShowDown? Don’t get me wrong, nothing against players that spend money to have them, not at all – I just would like to see a roaster that is competitive enough for the majority of players and this is just sending players without the Rimac and Hennesey with a knife to a gunfight. Actually more like a spoon…

Super funky roaster here with T3 cars (also because the previous Milestone Car was a T3 car) with the current T5 Prestige Cup car in there which is just so much faster that it makes little sense to run or build any other car – even though the Jaguar is a very slow T5 car overall. The good news for you is that you get a ton of free crates to easily build the Jaguar for the Prestige Cup, with the downside that you need to build a very slow T5 car that has no relevance at all in the game. I personally really don’t understand why they still do T3 cars as Milestone Cars as there will always be a wonky successing season in terms of ShowDown, but that is just my personal opinion.

The Lotus Evija or the Countach are the cars to go here for most player although all T5 cars very close together that I recommend using the one you have upgraded most. I believe it’s worth upgrading the Lotus Milestone car if you got it or from the Flash Event 2023, it’s a really nice car.

The best way to run this ShowDown is with the Veneom F5 Roadster as you have to build it for the Prestige Cup anyway and get loads of parts and it is also by far the fastest car.

I don’t know what happened with the devs that nobody checked the roaster for final times, but the current Prestige Cup car, the Porsche 911 Speedster is the only T5 car in the roaster making it, although it is a pretty slow T5 car, still the fastest car. And it’s in the game a long time so expect so many players to have it built already and just max it out with the free crates during the Prestige Cup. I don’t see any point why you would want to build the Ferrari Purosange at this point…

To make it short, you gotta run the Battista or the Gemera to get some rewards in this ShowDown as they are simply too far ahead. With the Mercedes G 63 being T4 in this roaster with 2 cars running below 7 seconds, there is no way you get any far, even when you have it maxed you can’t even beat any of the other cars that are Stage 5 only!

If you have built the Pagani and don’t plan to built the Lamborghini Revuelto, you can get away with it. Please mind that there are some wonky 6.8xx tunes for the Revuelto but I assuem they will be fixed soon since the car is not intended to go that fast. The other cars are significantly slower but if you don’t own the fastest cars or want to take it slow with cash invest due to the current events that might not be the worst move.

All cars here are pretty close, even with the Prestige Cup car that you can easily run as well in this event without having to build the Milestone Car.

It’s incredible how the Milestone Car will dominate here and if you’re not building it – which I can totally understand – you can honestly only run the Jaguar which was Prestige/Milestone car quite a while ago. The T4 options here are so much slower that you will struggle to get very far with them

The super interesting thing here, is – the Stage 5 times are the complete opposite so if you have the Ferrari 296 GTS without Stage 6 parts and the Lamboghinis without Stage 6 parts, they will outperform the Ferrari heavily. This means only go with the Ferrari if you have at least 4 Stage 6 parts installed!

With all cars here being T4 cars, the best bet will either be the previous season Milestone Car (Nissan Pandem) or the Hyundai if you got one of them. At the end it comes down to what car you have upgraded further so even if you have the Porsche or the Jeep maxed out you might rather take them than fully building the faster cars unless you are willing to pull the Stage 6 upgrades or already have quite a bunch of them.

*the 4th car in the roaster is, weirdly the M5 CSL, the current Prestige Car which makes little sense as normally there should be the previous Prestige Cup car which is the Porsche 911 Touring (see tune here). They haven’t changed it so far so I don’t know if they will just leave it like that or swap it… if not, here is the tune for the BMW M4 CSL

The interesting part here is, probably due to the fact that they build the roaster by dyno time, that the Prestige Car is by far the fastest car so you don’t even have to build the M3 and can run the car you already have.

If you don#t have/want to upgrade the Milestone Car from previous season (DBX 707), then it doesn’t matter too much which car you will take as their times are all pretty similar. The Jaguar is pretty funky to drive and unreliable so I’d recommend either the Mach-E or the Alfa Romeo.

Due to the ways dyno tiimes run the Milestone Car will NOT be the apex car for the upcoming Champion ShowDown so check if you have the Lamborghini in your garage and you might be able to skip upgrading the (in my personal opinion) rather boring new Corvette version and save up some cash for the current events.

Unless you have the Milestone Car from previous season and want to max it out – the best bet will be the SLR 722 that we all got last year for the anniversary as Milestone Car a lot easier so most players have it and already upgraded it. It will be almost the same performance as the Nissan but saving you quite some cash to upgrade.

If you have the Pagani Zonda Cinque from a couple of seasons ago, you an run it as it was the Milestone car and you probably won’t have to invest much cash and safe it for events and still get quite far in this ShowDown. If not, the Venom GT Spyder might be a great choice here as well before you dump the millions of cash into the Ferrari Milestone Car from last season. The times aren#t that crazy different unless you look at the very final times with maxed cars.

With all T3 cars and a very clear hierarchy, this ShowDown will require you to build the Milestone Car from previous season or you will not be able to compete that well. If you want to save some resources you might also want to skip but building a T3 car, at least, is not that expensive.

Are you ready for the weirdest ShowDown roaster? Well, I hope you are as we have all the four cars featured running times so close to each other that you should run the ones that you have upgraded the most – and as the Audi R8 was featured twice in prestige Cup, I assume this will be the car most players have upgraded the most at this point.

All cars are really close together and I think for most players it will be worth it running the Noble M600 if you have built it well already instead of starting to invest into the COPO Camarao from scartch unless you have the cash and a ton of keys or Stage 6 parts already sitting around

As the Noble M600 Speedster, the current Prestige Cup car, is the only T5 car it is the APEX car that will be working best – so don’t invest in any other car here and take the cheap opportunity to get far while also getting a ton of parts for the Prestige Cup at the same time.
