A new batch of A-Spec Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring Honda’s iconic Civic. Cars may have no more than 415pp and tires can be no better than Comfort/Soft.
Note that the game’s Performance Difference Bonus is in effect, so cars with lower performance point values will offer players the opportunity to earn greater rewards. As always, stop by our GT5 Seasonal Events forum for more analysis and discussion.

WHEN WE CAN DRIVE REAL RACE??? First car start race half on the track,this sucks! Very stupid idea…
Look at that, a 3rd Honda seasonal event. They’re running out of ideas at this point.
They need a drift car or d1 event withcomfort soft or less. That would be epic
That D1 drift event has just been done.
London.
Seasonal event is about chasing the cars infront…borringg………..
thats what rcing is about
Doing kart and fell asleep on the last lap halfway trough the last long right hander – won. Woken by the sounds of a collision from behind as 2nd and 3rd rear ended me.
Now just have to do Autumn Ring and SS5.
PD is not doing a good job with the seasonals if people are literally falling asleep during the events.
I used the ’08 Type R with suspension set up from Spoon as seen in VTEC CLUB HOTVERSION VOL.08. That is all.
The PD sasonal events responsible for these events might be stupid for sure! Civics with normal tires in kart track?!? C’mon! This is difficult of fun?!?! I just not goning to lose my time on this #$&%!
Why are these new seasonal events so difficult anymore? I can’t do much of anything. I DID win the past two races (Supercar Festival and French Championship as of who’s prize car I am in love with).
Use the Premium EK RM if you want to win.
How the heck am I supposed to control that monster with road tires? (Insert illegal laughter here)
premium Civic Type R EK ’97 worked for me well…you can also switch skid recovery on it might be helpful :)
Sorry PD, I’m not complaining but I don’t use FWD cars much but I do have a 90s group of FFs that I would have loved to use there. I don’t share your enthusiasm for Honda famed hatchbackAllowing us to use the
Fat fingers!!!! I don’t share your enthusiasm for Honda’s famed hatchback series but I would have enjoyed piloting 415pp Mitsu’s FTO or Eclipse, Peugot’s 206s and many of the other FF’s you have blessed us with. Your narrow mindedness has again left the rest of us putting off fresh new GT enjoyment. If any of you reading this agree please look me up at HighPerformanceStreet.
The thing is, we just had an FF joint not too long ago. It was a good one for sorting the rubbish FFs from the good ones, especially the Cape Ring Outside, where a win could be secured with a car a full hundred points below the allowed PP. I earned over 1.7m cr with the right starting grid. BTW, love the Peugots too, and don’t forget the Protege and the Sunfire GPX.
I’m so very very Sorry all – But GT5 can’t make me Happy anymore ‘ Piv Snift crying a little bit – But thankfully I’ve got other race Games like Project Cars – Shift 2 – To raise the Happiness level :o)
Shift 2 makes you happy Wtf? I mean I understand Project Cars or Forza but Shift 2? Wow…
I would be playing Shift 2 today if it weren’t for the input lag.
^ I’d say that’s my biggest problem, among hundreds of others. I’ve actually counted how long it takes for a button press to make an action – about .5 – .7 SECONDS. Seriously?
Yeah, not that imaginative but a challenge. Used a fully stock 01 EP CM tires all aids off w/no abs. Not my favorite drivetrain for sure. Hopefully they’ll get more interesting combos going soon but this is a good addition for Civic fans. Maybe this will lead to more one make combos.
tkx PD for this great seasonal event.
Ok, given the last few seasonals, I think this one isn’t quite so bad. But, how about a proper challange? A few month’s ago, we had a rather challenging one, in B-spec, at La Sarthe of 10 laps with weather and time progress. How about something like that in A-spec? Like, 20 laps with serious rain and night driving in a proper track? The prize could be something like an exclusive livery car, or better yet, a new car coming to the game. Even a championship with a few races, like we had in previous GT’s, would be refreshing at this point.
VTEC KICKED IN YO!
Gave up a while ago, I’m real busy now blazing down the roads of Colorado in an FXX Kaz, call me when you get something new :-)
You actually own one of those?!? I’m offically jealous of you.
no hes not. lie lie lie
Forza Horizon
Sorry if I misled, HKSBro92 is correct, I was talking about Forza Horizon, big fun too.
lol Even if he did own a FXX, he could only drive it when Ferrari say he could.
AWSOME PICTURE!!!
Thanks!
Kazunori Yamauchi- “I think the online team has a very difficult job, because within the resources GT5 has they have to come up with something different every time.”
PD satff: “Quick, it’s the night before the new seasonal and we’ve been spending most of our time trying to fix the sound on the HSV for last 18 days. Hmm…What might the GT5 players like? Wel, we’re Japanese, so let’s make sure it’s a JDM car. How about a Prius? No. A Lancer? Maybe. No! A Civic! Something new and exciting! We did it! Kaz, master, do you approve? Kaz? You awake? Oh, ok, you’re busy racing and promoting Nissan!”
Haha epic!
Hahaha love it
Yeah……
No
Word M8 – Lmao :o)

Super comment. You tok the words right out of my mouth. LOL and so true
^Not much imagination is correct.
Seasonal that use weather? Seasonals that uses day to night transition? Seasonal that uses pit stops? Seasonal that uses tire strategy? Seasonals that use imagination?
Nope…
Bunch of cry babies up in here!
