The AI SUCK in these seasonals. Watch a replay from the car you are passing- they freaking STOP mid corner to let you by. WTH is fun about that? Why doesn’t PD let us choose Ai difficulty like in practice.. or arcade or whatever. What BS. Way too easy PD. PD has zero imagination with these seasonals, always the same.

The AI is way too easy to beat. I won the race at Spa in my Lotus Elise 111R (non RM) which is at 543pp, against all those LM race cars!!! come on PD, make it a bit more challenging.

is it just me or is the AI getting slower all the time… I can race this events (which are realy good) with a 620pp car and win easily… they slow down when I pass them and driving like a grandma…

I’m happy that Spa is included, not so happy that GVS is though, I hate that track.

This weeks Seasonals were really easy with winning margins of 30s-45s. Good fun in the race cars but zero challenge. Will try some road cars later.

Crap. I really need to finish my 24h of Le Mans race so I can get back to seasonals! I am more than halfway through, but I am using the X2011, so I really only need to race about 7 or 8 more hours and then I can park for the last few hours. :-)

I did it with the C60 tuned as close to the PP as I could get it. I think I had the top speed set at 240 or 242 mph. If your able to get a decent lead by the 5-7th lap your Bob will pull away. You still cant let him get too lazy though and I had to make sure he didnt change tires to racing hard in the pits.

Try an Audi R8 Race Car ’01, pit on the second lap for intermediates and a driver change, after all the other cars pit on the third lap you should be in 1st or 2nd provided you make sure your driver passed all the slower cars on the 3rd lap with minimal fuss. If you’re in first just keep your driver at a steady pace and you’ll pull away easily, if you’re in second you can either try pass the leader or stay closely behind until the next pit stop. Pit on the 7th lap for a driver change but stay on intermediates, you’ll come out the pits in 3rd or 4th and will immediately start catching the cars in front really quickly, overtaking will be easy because their tyres will be going off, the cars you haven’t overtaken you’ll pass when they pit on the 9th lap. Nurse your car home on the last lap (you should be well ahead by now) don’t overdo it with your driver because your intermediates will be wearing out fast on the drying out track and the track will be still too wet for the other cars to catch you on their racing hard tyres on the last lap anyway.
Works every single time for me.

Aspec is SO boring!! I don’t understand why everyone gets excited over these races. I understand its good money but still. Did you guys know you can race online against real people?
Remember to setup your lobby’s to simulator settings with no aids, tire wear on, real grip, full damage, no penalities(going invisible not very realistic). If you don’t race with these settings, YOU are the problem with this game.
It’s a SIMULATOR, if you want to play a game go play Need for Speed!!!

oh really now, i run rooms like that often, except i go one further, when using street cars i limit tires to sports soft, and i sir for one think you are wrong, gt5 is not a simulator, no game is, its a simcade, hence the term “game”. i don’t even use abs in cars that didnt come with it. But everyone has there own ways of playing the game, When you say stuff like “you are the problem with the game” i beg to ask if you got enough oxygen while you were in your mothers womb? EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PREFERENCES! YOUR WAY IS NOT THE “RIGHT WAY”. Learn to respect other people.

jc, I think you’re the first to use the word ‘womb’ on GTP.

No need to be that way about it. I just get tired of people setting up their rooms with all aids and no tire wear. The fact that you are defending them is absurd. Oh well, there is always an idiot wanting to arguy. -

It is not a simulator until you can feel the effects of gravity. In the meantime, I suggest you quit calling people idiots because of the way they choose to play a console “game”. If you can’t stand all of the lobbies with all aids on, then as you suggested, you can create your own lobby with your own regulations, no?
Also, before you call someone an idiot, it may be in your best interest to make sure you know how to spell correctly. – “Oh well, there is always an idiot wanting to arguy.”
As you were.
