Super GT Cars Featured in Latest GT5 Seasonal Events

The 21 level ticket contains A Number of random cars including NASCAR. Most likely when the person you heard this from received his ticket he opened it and received a NASCAR as a Prize.

That is correct, I received a Carl Edwards Ford Fusion. AFLAC!!

I beat these rather easily. Although I still had fun, because I love using these cars. :)
I used nothing but Standard JGTC cars for this event, like the Penzoil GTR. -

Blasted thru all stages with a stock HSV-010 GT/ manual trans. Pretty easy compared to earlier seasonal (still didn’t finish the Lambo one).
Happy 2k13 PD and GTP!

Keep trying with the Lambo one – just be gentle out of the corners to keep your speed up :)
I did it after a fricken shed load of tries

Ah, GT5, it’s been too long, almost a year sitting on my shelf. I think I’ll jump back in, starting with this event…as soon as I buy my first super GT car. Thinking about the Castrol Tom’s Supra, any suggestions?
-

If you want to relive the moments of joy from GT3 & 4, the tom’s castrol supra is the way to go ;)
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 7:00 pm - #swynder
Agreed StiggyGT, but do remember that you can win the Castrol in the carrer events, so to save you 950,000cr. I´d strongly recomend an Honda NSX for you midnighteggs.

Thanks!

Tried this event several times. Can’t do the Ring. I uses Gallardo. Any other car I can try?

With these GT500 races all I use is the Yellow Hat Supra. Because if you put all of the GT500s at 600pp, the Supra weighs the least, as the most hp, and has the best rpms. And that is using no downforce.
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 2:15 pm - #Tacobell18
I tried ssr5 with a yellowhat supra 550 pp and won… I think this one was too easy.
-

Nice seasonal, winning easily so far! Eiffel track is crap as usual
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 11:48 am - #HuskyGT
These seasonals were very good, a lot of fun and fair… at the beginning, though. Tokyo R246 was a great race, using the Honda Weider with only an oil change. Despite making many mistakes and running terrible times, being my fastest 1:42, I won by an 8 second lead.
Then the A.I started cheating using a Xanavi Nismo Z with 609pp and 504hp, giving it a highly unrealistic advantage. And I bet is running on Sports Medium the least.
Why you do this PD? You ruin the fun.

Super GT500 Seasonal
Eifel Circuit
Someone said that’s impossible to win.
It was easy. I used the Honda Weider, 600pp, max downforce, 484hp, trans 310kph, tcs 5, abs 1 and used controller. I don’t have a wheel
The Xanavi Nismo Z started on pole, it was called as rabbit.
But won easily, got 1st on lap 4, won by 10,2 seconds.

It was easy with roskolove setup and nismo gtr on the track instead of the rabbit z
-
January 4th, 2013 at 2:37 am - #Lionheart2113
I used the Arta NSX with no issues.

I really hate that! Pd can’t even stick to their own rules

Single file rolling start.
Blow past 10 A.I. and watch them park for you.
Lonely rabbit chase.
Catch rabbit on the last lap and watch him park for you. Like a sir.
Cross finish line feeling good about the racing skills you just honed?: /

I would expect nothing less. We SHOULD expect more, though. I feel your pain…it’s getting a bit monotonous.
-

If PD was worth to just make an event creator, they won’t have to do seasonal events every week anymore, which imo, would be good.
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 2:42 pm - #BWX
That is why I have absolutely no desire to play GT5 or buy another GT game until Kaz and PD get their collective heads out of their ***** and fix GT’s joke of an ai (and broken, horrible A-Spec too)
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 3:11 pm - #TokoTurismo
^ Don’t you want those to be fixed in GT6, such as the A.I. and A-Spec? No point in fixing them in GT5 because if PD updates GT5 again, there is indeed going to be a problem YET again, so leave it at that…
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 3:38 pm - #HuskyGT
For a second I thought they finally fixed the “chase the rabbit” and the slowing down A.I. For some reason, the Tokyo race had all the grid very close to each other and the race was very fair.
But then they did it again. So PD thinks that giving you a PP limit and letting the A.I go beyond it with better tires and a huge 30 second gap is “realistic?”
-
January 4th, 2013 at 8:38 am - #researchALLwars
@HuskyGT- that basically proves that someone in that strange studio is aware of the A.I.’s shortcomings (thats the nicest word I could think of). I just kinda wish they would dig at the root instead of swing at the branches of this problem.
@Toko- Every time you mention an Event Creator, I will be forced to send you a free premium car. That is all.
-
January 4th, 2013 at 10:45 am - #TokoTurismo
^ Really? Yaaay. :D

Ah, I can’t do Eifel. My Nomad Diablo was so much better than the AI cars on the first 2 (Tokyo and Tsukuba), and was still better than them on Laguna and SS5, despite me having to fight a lot harder with the Xanavi Nismo Z starting 1st. So I have tried to get Eifel with no Z starting 1st but I’ve had no luck, and the closest I managed to get to the Z is 4 seconds. Any advice on how to beat this car and stupid track?
-

There will be tips and tricks in the Seasonal section of the forums very soon, if there aren’t any there as we speak. I’ve found that VERY helpful in the past. The community is up on these things…haha.
-
January 6th, 2013 at 7:16 pm - #Polsixe
Cycle until the Yellowhat GT-R is on pole. Easier win.

Right that’s about 60 seasonal’s I ain’t done yet better get to it…does any one remember when it was they wiped the seasonal’s last year..
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 7:45 am - #JeremiahTB
Has anyone else noticed the old SuperGT Seasonal has dropped off? No closing date was listed; it just disappeared. So, if you haven’t completed all of the Seasonals yet, get on those things because they might disappear soon.
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 7:18 am - #swynder
I still haven´t got the change to try my luck at this events, but judging by the tracks and the selection of cars they look good, preety good in fact, can anyone tell me what the prize car is please?
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 4:06 am - #karelpipa
hm…still no championship races…im losing hope even in GT6.
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 7:30 am - #JeremiahTB
Lost hope in GT6 even before its official announcement? What information do you have? Am I missing something?
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 6:39 pm - #lilmann73
@Jeremiah
Didn’t you hear? Kaz delayed his announcement of delays for another two years. So you’re going to have to wait to be told to wait for the dissapointment and let-downs. -
January 3rd, 2013 at 7:07 pm - #TokoTurismo
Got any source where he said that? Oh that’s right, NO you don’t. So funny how others will make stuff up, JUST, for attention…
-
January 4th, 2013 at 12:07 pm - #Pit Crew
^Agreed Toko. Some try to make themselves into insiders just to attempt to make others feel inferior to them Im guessing.

January 4th, 2013 at 5:46 pm - #StiggyGT
Ferrari 330 P4 for me, feels like i’ve robbed PD!

-
January 3rd, 2013 at 3:57 am - #Praggia
so no suzuka or fuji speedway in a Super GT race? WTF were these assholes thinking? and restrict the cars to racing soft extend the laps and make provision for pitting that would be more realistic FFS
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 5:11 am - #Jawehawk
You talk about realism, yet you want RS tires on the cars? Interesting…
RS tires aren’t realistic mate. -
January 3rd, 2013 at 7:30 am - #larsh
I second the extending and pitting part.
-
January 3rd, 2013 at 9:01 am - #Divaldo
Montegi should be at this Seasonal Event as well.
-

January 3rd, 2013 at 3:51 am - #Brunskill777
I really like GT500, and I’m glad that Laguna Seca is back on the radar for seasonals! This looks a good start for seasonals in 2013!

Heard a rumor, if completed in de-tuned vehicle a prize was a NASCAR of unknown livery. I placed first in all 5 events at 575pp. Received multiplier, but in the end all I was awarded was a lvl. 21 ticket. Anyone have any info?
