    you can use the F1 cars for this and you’ll have a killer hard race.
    Tune to 750 pp lotta sound not a lot of fury.

    This and the F1 seasonal events are the best imo, super entertaining driving and a lot of cash.

    I wish that the weather in all those events changed, the 5 th event says time and weather change but it never happens. And it should rain when ur driving a cabriolet cuz I want to c if the car gets filled up or not.

      Zman, I don’t think the cars gets filled up, just look at the real F1 races, I have never seen a F1 cockpit filled with water, they have holes underneath to prevent that

      Used my 787B stealth and finished 2nd after spinning out twice, 2.2 seconds behind minolta. can easily win with this car. (standard 787B would be just as good, only 8 bhp less than the stealth model).

    good set of races, would be even better if they came in a championship option which would give u a race card for a new car

    WTF!!! I can only get 20 million credits…What is this Cap and Trade Obama game?

      You can only spend 20,000,000 credits. Once you’ve spent that, you can start saving again. What’s the problem?

      Always been a 20 million cap. Same as prologue. Spend the 20 on the Ford or Ferrari, go broke, win a Penniless trophy, and start back again. Idea is to buy cars, not hoard credits.

    Realllly good seasonal, just wish these races were grid start A-Spec events. Racing 2 class (LMP and GT) on the same track would be so fun!

    Used a straight-out-of-the-box R8 LMS Team Playstation ’09 from the recent online dealership updates and ran away with it, no competition whatsoever. No tuning needed.

    Okay ALL THE RACES in GT5 needs to be as challenging as the Ring 24h in this seasonal. I think it was the most challenging race I’ve had so far in the game.

    You do no people are glitching Suzuka Circuit and Nurburgring for the money someone need to put a stop to this .

      Well it’s ruining the time trial leaderboards for a kick-off

    • August 19th, 2011 at 8:47 am - #

      What leaderbords? this isn’t a time trial.

    • August 19th, 2011 at 11:09 am - #
      Chimera91

      Yes there was the fastest time for the Suzuka east track in the old time trials was 16 seconds in a NASCAR, I could be wrong, he could be an insanely good driver!!!

    It’s definatly a little challenging with the Minolta. I liked how close each race turned out.
