    This was probably the easiest Seasonal Event I have done and then getting 6 million CR at the end of it, a Dodge Charger 440 RT, Ford Mustang GT Coupe, Tony Stewart’s NASCAR and then Jeff Gordon’s racing suit and helmet, what is not to like, I loved it! Anyone know if you can race again and still get the money? :)

    @YUBOY7
    I’m the same as you, It also took me three tries for rome and the rest only once. The online dealership isn’t bad either, in fact it was great and the event. :D

    These seasonals are really fun. The prizes are pretty beast too. I dont get why people think these were easy. It took me 3 tries on rome, two tries on deep forest raceway, and it took me only one try on the other ones but I just barely won. I dont know what the update exactly did.
    And the online dealership is pretty good. All the cars are old classic cars and they are very cheaap. I bought all of them!!!! :)

    Ever since installing the 1.11 update, I’m having problems with seasonal events. When crossing the finish line, the race never really stops. The total time clock keeps spinning, and all cars stay in line and can’t be controlled. The start button doesn’t help, and I can’t even quit the game. I end up having to do a hard restart on the PS3. Am I the only one having this problem?

      Same here hornsfan2112! Never had any problems till the 1.11 update now got exactly the same problem. Also won’t load suzuka which is vv annoying as i use it for general tuning setups!

    Rome is the only track I’m having issues with, sucks I can’t use my own tuning setup for this race.

    The NASCAR seasonal events were super easy, exept I will not lie, it did take me three tries on Rome, but it was becauseof my braking technique.

    Jordan, do you know if there’s any word of any other special Seasonals? (crosses fingers)

    I just realized that that now on the main menu video where it shows the car you selected in the various photo mode environments you can see your driver walking around the car and stuff.

    I wish the offline car dealership would sell me cars I don’t already own.

      It gets really bad when you have 1022 cars. I go days without being able to buy a car I already own.
