A great, fun event. Won it easily in a “tweaked” Enzo. Only had to do each race once!
Why, oh why could the Lamborghini event have been this simple! -

Really enjoyed this event and it wasn’t as manic as the Lamborghini event. I used a stock 458 Italia with Sports Soft tyres and won comfortably.

As far as the seasonal events go this was one of the best, managed to win all events with the Enzo with sport sorts and no traction control

I managed with F430 Scuderia 565pp. Pretty easier than Lambo events but one of the best.
The graphics is lovely :* -

Ok i won…458 italia smoked them all!…this event was fun!

These were great, 458 Italia did it for me. And sports hard tyres!
Anyways, over the past week I’ve been playing Need For Speed Shift 2, and it is IN NO WAY AS GOOD AS GT!! The handling is SHOCKING in any car, the graphics are CRAP, and the only way in which it is slightly better than GT is that it has more super/hyper cars e.g the Gumpert Apollo, and more GT/FIA GT race cars like the Maserati MC12 GT1 Vitafone, but I was so glad to be back in the ultra realistic and superb world of Gran Turismo 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NFS will NEVER EVER EVER be better than GT, and after playing that, GT is the best car game in the world at the moment!!-

Shift has a half second lag whenever you turn the car; and for a racing game that is an epic fail. The only reasons I bought it was because it was on sale and I wanted to see why the NFS franchise is so popular. I’m still trying to figure out why people still buy NFS. IMHO, it is a kids game and should only be played until you discover GT…or for Xbox gamers, Forza. I haven’t been a fan of EA in a very long time.

I purchase other “racers” only after l’ve done enough with a GT (1, 2, 3…). That why I have XBoxes in my home. And time and again they just don’t measure up. Last 360 purchase was for Forza 3 and my friends there just couldn’t understand what Grand Turismo is all about. REALISM. Even with GT’s continued disappointments in content the feel of and look of the game always never fails to bring racing to life. Forza and PROJECT GOTHAM (my last gotos) had great stuff but just didn’t have “IT”. “IT” is the simulation of passion, beauty and liveliness of living in a world of automotive access. Sure the others had their share of exclusive whips but GT had theirs too and when there was a car you had your eye on, you usually have to work for it, ie… getting a license and/or winning a race. Sometimes cash (or credit) can’t get you want you want. Gran Turismo isn’t perfect – far from it – the GT I would most like to see is an open world where getting to the race venue would be part of the experience and the event officiating would manage the chaos of rookie pilots making a mess of other competitors’ progress and the burning hulks of something gone sideways with flags and traffic lights. Nice try Forza. Maybe I’ll try Horizon sometime next year… Or not? ’cause if Six is released? You’ll know where to find me ;)

No problems at all with my 570pp 458 that I use for GT3 racing. All I had to do was switch my tires from racing hard to sport soft lol.

I tuned my Enzo for this event and so far so good ;)

Would u mind sharing that tune?

Only one real life race track is disappointing.
My only real disappointment with Grand Turismo is the make believe race tracks-for the most part I can’t be bothered with them; sometimes even when they are in a Seasonal.
I know many love those make believe circuits; just not me eh :)
-
December 6th, 2012 at 9:20 pm - #a5kylar990
There isn’t just 1 real track there is Tokyo, circuit de Madrid top gear track, Laguna seca, Indy, Daytona and all the circuit le sarthes are all real..
-
December 6th, 2012 at 9:42 pm - #Dekropttiv
He was talking about the seasonals…not the whole game. Tokyo and Circuit de Madrid aren’t “real” tracks either. Yeah they’re based on real streets but they’re not tracks used for racing in the real world, like Nurburgring or Tsukuba.
-
December 7th, 2012 at 1:34 pm - #biftizmo
Theres a rumour they done costings to build a real fantasy track….hope it’s trial mountain…love it…it’s about time we had weather and time change on trail mountain bye the way…PD…please..
-
December 12th, 2012 at 2:09 pm - #FormulaKimball
I agree we need more of the epic tracks included in these events for replay value but I really dig Toscana, enjoyed tossing the Enzo around on that one (I’m not much of a drifter usually). And a big YES to weather/time change – that would really increase the replayability of these events, being able to change the weather and time to anything you like!

Great fun this seasonal, but I really wish the AI was better! Aside from that pd have done a pretty good job, very nice prize car. Just need an American event to get the Mark 4……
-
December 6th, 2012 at 10:54 pm - #TomBrady
If the AI is too easy, use less tires. If they use sports soft, use sports medium. Trust me, it actually makes their braking points more realistic compared to yours which is obviously a plus.
-
December 7th, 2012 at 10:42 am - #Spannermonkey33
Thanks, I’ll try that out later

I have perfect setup for 430 Scuderia to easily win this event!

Can you tell what did you make.
Just tried a couple times with the F 40 but the rear us too slipy.
Tks

There is so much great Ferrari’s but we don’t get them. :(

So it’s Ferrari only… and they chose Madrid instead of Rome? Only PD… only PD.

A lot of the cars I have I have already obtained are the cars they are giving out as prizes.
Luckily I got the 330 P4 Race Car as a gift from one of my friends. In fact the only $20,000,000 I actually paid for was the Ford Mark IV
@TomBrady That isn’t a very good alternative to this. If anything its annoying, under-rewarding in terms of money. If anything, I’d rather do A-Spec Challenge 4 (or is it 5?), the last race in the list. If offers half a million for first. If you have the online bonus at max you get a million per win. Plus I can use some of my favorite.

It’s for the new adopters to get some of the rare and insanely expensive cars without having to do what most of us did back in year one. I’m happy I held off the 20 million dollar cars, these seasonals make it good to get one for free. I’m still trying to break 1,000 cars. So far I have 940 cars and 30+ in the delivery truck all unknown cars 1000km gift tickets. Wish the item list was infinite it’s a pain in the ass to have to delete something. Kaz lose the paint systems and just add a bloody color wheel, that would free up 3500 item slots in my item case.
Ferrari land once again, where the hell is my F50? If I ever see that abomination the California in another game it will be too soon.

You should’ve gotten the XJ13.
-
December 6th, 2012 at 9:44 pm - #Dekropttiv
You win the XJ13 I’m one of the endurance races.
-
December 6th, 2012 at 10:34 pm - #TomBrady
I meant it as a fun and challenging race to run, not something to earn credits with.
-
December 6th, 2012 at 10:48 pm - #TomBrady
Honestly Savage, I like having authentic manufacturer colors much better than a color wheel but I also hate it because of how long it takes the damn selection menu to pop up. I have thousands of colors and it takes like 5 seconds to show the colors, and what also annoys me is the little color icons can be very misleading. Plus, you never really know what the color will look like until you actually use it. That’s a stupid part about painting in GT5, you can waste colors like that. Like why would they not let you preview the color on the actual car or rim? They preview it with a stupid rim with no tire on it, that’s under different angle from the light source. Obviously it’s not gonna look the same.
But I’m still happy we can use REAL manufacturer colors, instead of some crappy color wheel. Don’t know why people like those. There are plenty of times you can’t get what you want from those wheels

If anyone actually whines about this seasonal, how bout shut up, and do this. Buy a Formula GT, and do the race at Cote D’ Azur (monaco) in the A Spec Formula World Championship or whatever it’s called. It’s actually a great race to run with competitive AI, on a difficult track. And it’s 20 laps so you’ll be having fun for 22minutes or so…
-
December 6th, 2012 at 10:47 am - #TomBrady
Has anyone noticed on GT5s facebook, they made a post “What’s on your GT5 car christmas wishlist?” and there’s a picture of a Hennesey Venom GT. Hope that means something, that car’s a monster

December 6th, 2012 at 9:15 am - #Robbster213
So has any one won yet?..ive already used 3 different ferraris and the closes i get is 15 seconds..wow i love this event!..kinda made me forget how badass these ferraris really are…
-
December 6th, 2012 at 5:17 pm - #swynder
I´m doing good in a Ferrarri SP1.
-
December 6th, 2012 at 6:41 pm - #hobanator24
What race are you stuck on? I beat all 5 races with ease. Although I’m using a tuned Enzo. Have you tried the Enzo yet?
-
December 6th, 2012 at 7:43 pm - #infamousphil
The usual plan of attack… Run the gamut, search the dealership, run it again with another whip. This time I’ll start with the Scuderia (just finished with that one) next up is the 458. That SP1 is just plain fugly so I’ll skip that one. Great fun for the week. One thing PD? Why not more street circuits?
-
December 6th, 2012 at 10:42 pm - #TomBrady
It can’t be as tough as the Lambo seasonal. The Muira’s are so much faster than they should be when AI is at the wheel of them. Plus they put the leaders so damn far ahead. Really that Lambo event was the first time I’ve had trouble with seasonals but that was only until I used the Gallardo. I wanted to use the Muira but it wasn’t fast enough.
For this seasonal, i’d like to use the F40 but I think I’ll have the same problem
-
December 7th, 2012 at 2:00 am - #Pvig73
I used a tuned F40 for this. 620bhp, suspension upgrades & TC turned off. What a riot. Managed to win all races first time but the Nurburgring was difficult and only passed the lead Enzo at the last corner of the last lap. Loved it.

December 7th, 2012 at 9:17 am - #Robbster213
Stiill in the first track..ive one givin it a day try..am gonna get back on it today..so the sp1?..any good tunes for the italia 458?
