A bit offensive that! If you want to pick on a group, why not choose one that no one cares about…say those who have these big trucks and live in a city but never take it out to the countryside or have a job that requires one?
-

Uhhh, that’s also offensive.. Lol. People can drive whatever they want whenever they want, because at the end of the day, it’s theirs and not yours. If buddy wants to off-road with a Veyron, all the more power to him.

Why do people just continuously complain about any nice thing that comes thier way? These comments are ALL complaints even mine, sadly. So ill stop complaing and say what i came here to say. Truck racing yay!! This is awesome. The trucks in this game are beastly so the races will be awesome.

No, it’s not awesome.
There is a major reason to complain, because seasonals are very repetitive. We already have got pickup’s events two times in A-spec. Implementing them again in seasonals is needless. Instead of this they should give as convertibles cup, station wagon cups, Corvette meeting, Viper Meeting, Luxury sedans cup and etc. This is what A-spec is missing. And the should give these in seasonals to make up for poorly diversified A-spec.
Since I got Forza 4 I haven’t been playing seasonals (except Time trials). In that game there are events for almost every car the game offers.

And they should implement perfomance bonus (with next update) for every events in A-spec, after this stop putting these repettive seasonals.

Challenger – GT4 took me six months to complete and I only did a few events again. GT5 has lasted far longer than that and I had more gaming time per day available too – this is excluding the Seasonals, just career and all of the challenges, license tests etc. I didn’t een wasteany of that time with online either. I think this whole “A-Spec is so short” trend is so untrue.

The Seasonals can be repetitive. Its frustrating when a lack of imagination plagues a simple theory.
Keep events changing every 2 months. TT Locations, Drift Events, ASpec Events should be reevaluated and upgraded more consistently to maximize playability,challenge worthiness and fun factor.
PD could take some hints from the various leagues represented here on GTP.
Im involved in a league (LLC) whos next event is at Spa in LMP cars (C60 Hybrid) with weather on 2 hr endurance. Now 120 minutes may be tasking, but a purposeful 15-20 min ASpec event with Day to Night or Weather options could bring back that loving feeling. (IMO)

its always good when you get some variety!
Pity I dont drive seasonals anymore..
they all are the same, and racing from the back all the time is just wrong. no practice, no qualify to understand the opponent… very empty… sad..cant wait for GT6 to bring some fresh stuff.. hope it will be more racing “simulation” style, not just driving.

Chasing the White Rabbit No. 5202 … we could have guns and bombs to launch too!.. racing?… and if you come with the driving simulator story that just take out the other cars and go for time trial… at least you “race” with someone, somehow… thank God for multiplayer…

Ok, can we have an updated SuperGT Seasonal next?? Please?? The one in there is over a year old and the OCD is full of JGTC cars but only one truck! I’d like to race some SuperGT with a performance difference bonus incentive and some new tracks :)

Arguably one of the hardest seasonals, haven’t golded any of them yet and I’m using a 470PP Chevrolet SSR.
-

It’s not the event it’s your truck the SST sucks get a act lighting or a Tacoma x runner I beat all except nir at 455 pp in both trucks

SSR and The SS Concept chevy 2 different trucks
The SS is a beast in this seasonal, very quick and agile for a truck.
add trans and drivetrain parts because its usually acceleration that hinders success in these Chase the Wabbit seasonal. Raise the Rear of truck to Positive 8 Front lower it to negative 12. Assuming you use No Aids this lite tune may help.
Think Drift through the turns and let the back slightly break traction.
Turn down LSD to 15 10. adjust braking sensitivity to your liking.
My Crew Untouchables RC ran trucks lastnight at Lemans no chicane Daytona SSW and SSRX, and the Chevy Dominated, the Toyota…not so much. Tune it.

Can’t find any premium trucks, did I miss one: if there is a gun rack would be cool when you look back.
good racing,

Because there is no premium trucks on the game? Meh, it would of been nice if they did include some.

At 400pp that is some impressive driving! I can’t quite beat ‘em at 410pp.

People that use driving assits are fakes. It takes no skill of winning a seasonal event with aids on. I use manual and abs 1

August 16th, 2012 at 5:31 pm - #tpark103
Your the best in the whole wide entire gigantic huge humongous large big tall wide world!!!!! NOT!!!!!! But seriously good for you that you don’t have to use aids, neither do I and many other people who cares!
-
August 16th, 2012 at 5:35 pm - #tpark103
Unless your 12 years old then my I apologize. You’ve got some skill!!!

ABS is a driver aid.

He might be talking about the top times in the Time Trials. There were only two people in the top 10 of a certain Time Trial event that didn’t use any assists. Oh, it was for the 400pp rally event which makes it all the more ridiculous. If that’s not what he means, then.. neh.
-
August 16th, 2012 at 8:35 pm - #another_jakhole
They had Active Steering set to Strong which completely helps/stops oversteer.
-
August 17th, 2012 at 12:05 am - #a5kylar990
I only use abs and maybe like on the jap 80′s 1 on tc since I was using comf soft’s in a car that came with sports hards

You can win the 60′s Ford GT40 LM Race Car from the B-Spec Indianapolis 500 in the Endurance Series.

I take back what I’ve said. Despite the refreshing choice of vehicles in these seasonals, the “chase the rabbit” formula kills these events. I quited after Suzuka.

Chase the rabbit is killing all these seasonal events
