First 2 seasonals excluded from all stats because of lack of data

Calculating the number of rain or night races is kind of difficult because rain seems to be really rare in the "change weather" races. Also the only real night race event seems to be the Toscana race on the Lamborghini exclusive seasonal event.

I did not calculate exp levels because they are only available if I go through all the races one by one. I'll try to get them done soon though...
I'm also missing some information. Please feel free to point any errors :)

Thanks for help everybody :)

That's awesome, thanks for taking the time to do all this, I would have never guessed Cape Ring was used more than Tsukuba.

It doesn't seem like Cape ring features as much as Tsukuba because there are lots of variations of the track, whereas Tsukuba doesn't. change. EVER!!!:grumpy:

Thanks OP for this info - much appreciated :)
 
Wait, so total credits for getting each race in first once is 32,xxx,000?
Or 32,xxx,000,000?
 
Great job with those statistics. I hope you continue to update this as we get new ones. 👍

I can't believe we have had 103 Tarmac races but no gravel or snow :crazy:. You would of thought PD would of tried some rally events considering the lack of those events we have in game.
 
you forgot to include most XP per minute - Ferrari @ La Sarthe , 500k for 3min30

edit - ye meant to put CR per minute.

That is a variable though and changes for everyone. So I would say leave it out.

I'd actually really like to add some lists of the best exp per minute and money per minute races. Like top 3 for each.

I don't really know what races give the best money/exp per minute so please help me and I'll add it to the first post! :)
 
Sorry to point this out but all of the races on SS5 are in the dark too, not just the three possibles (even though there's a sun shining where it tells you what weather to expect :))

Some interesting facts seem to have cropped up there though and some good dedication too :)

I think he meant 38.149 million, which is 38,149,000. And fantastic statistics. Appreciate your time making this 👍
 
The High Speed Ring (JGTC/Super GT) and Daytona Road Course (Dodge Challenger SRT8) were used in Seasonal Event No.4 :)
 
Interesting to see that they choose pp that isn't just round numbered ie 500 they like to used in-between the most ie 550. I guess for tuners it would be more logical to tune at 450-550-650 pp as it will have a higher chance that someone will use it for a seasonal

Real good job...here is my money dash.

Le Mans with either 458 Italia 09 or the Enzo..
550,000 +/- 30,000 @ 6 min including reload.

Plus it prepares you for the 24hr event and you can play with racing lines given that you will be in first place by mid track. Try it out!

Also anyone has advice regarding which car to race the 24 Le mans, either Audi 910 or 908 HDI Peugeot?

Yes you are correct. Thanks for that info though! Appreciated.

If I remember correctly all those were one off events?

e: updated the first post. Need to find more info...

I'll freely admit I'm a pedant and proud of it - that's why I play GT5 it appeals to my OCD nature dammit lol. Thats not my point - to be contrary with the OP or St1gsdad67.

Its interesting to see the Cape Ring is the most frequently recurring track choice in seasonal events (judging by many of the posts I've read over numerous weeks) when we all think it is (groan) Tsukuba.

Perchance it is the 3 or 4 variations of the former that makes the latter seem so tedious methinks. Discuss.
 
Very cool information, good to know for grinding purposes. For variety's sake, I'm almost tempted to play through all the Seasonal Races again at once just for all the credits.

I found some more details of all the Seasonal Events since release.

Go onto Gran Turismo official website at gran-turismo.com, log in to GT5 My Home using your usual PSN user account details, click on seasonal events tab, just below there's the option to look at the closed events, when opened, scroll down, clicking on each will provide you with more information. :)

Nice job !!

First ever Seasonals:
-Fiat 500 (new one) at Tsukuba. (Window weight reduction and the sports air filter as upgrades to get in the restrictions [1000kg and 47 kW])
5 Lap Tsukuba

- Mazda RX-7 (regardless of year). [150 kW and 1250 kg ??]
5 Laps Tsukuba Or was it 10 Laps ??

-GTR Challenge (just pick one regardless of Year)[Power stock(362 kW), if 07 or 09 are used and weight really low because of the usability of the real old GTR´s which weigh allot less]
5 Laps SSR5

-Challenger Challenge [specs are out of my mind cause too easy, but me think no Power and Weight mods allowed]
5 Laps Indy Road Course

-CRZ Challenge [Stock power and a bit of weight reduction but specs are out of my mind]
5 Laps Tokyo R246


They where present because that where some pretty nasty tough Seasonals. Almost none where 1 Try victories (at least for me).
