"That race car driver who posts here that Cargo got up the other week should do well on this one. Unfortunately it's not a Time Trial for him."
The only reason I used your name yesterday Cargo was because I couldn't remember the name of the driver in question, but people would remember your reply to him and by association know who I was referring to.
That's all folks.

And you're sure about that because I sure the hell didn't know who you were talking about. Anyway, good enough I guess.I just get tired of you bringing my name up at the time. "Cargo said this, Cargo did that, Cargo come out and play with me."
Moving on.....
You're someone of renown here Cargo, a cult figure almost, people will always mention your name or refer to you, or to something you said or did.
That's fame I guess.
And, have won the first two races, not without some incidents though. Not sure I'll manage any others, don't enjoy these at all.

Perhaps he's just delirious from the hardcore pawn he was watching

Nice play on words here Dalone, I see what you did there.
Ha ha , all good Cargo.
Of course when it comes to low PP's, well, well that's another story.
You can be a good sport Cargo, good on you mate.

This seasonal was unbelievably fun. Not as good as the Ferrari F1 seasonal, but that's just because I enjoy F1 over FGT, but this was absolutely great. I ran Spa probably 10 times last night, and never tired of it.
However, the course creator track was absolutely horrendous. Normally their tracks aren't too bad, but this was just terrible. Does PD even bother to test the circuits before putting them on the game? The circuit sounds good on paper, lots of straights, lots of curves, lots of crests and elevation change. However, there isn't a single corner on that track that flows nicely with the corners in front or behind. Also, flying through the air if you take the inside line of turn 1 isn't too fun.

I haven't done Eifel yet, but Spa seems like a good cash cow.
Running at about 883PP and 1:42-1:43 lap times, I took the lead early on the 3rd lap and won a little under 2 million. Taking the lead that early shows you could drop the PP quiet far for extra cash, and if you aren't fussed about etiquette, there are plenty of high gaining shortcuts to be abused - I didn't do this myself however, I tried to do this as cleanly as possible.
I literally drove the FGT like a go-kart on the limit; I was always sliding into and out of the corners by a few degrees but not to the extent of over heating the tires. I'm guessing this was possible due to SRF, but driving the FGT like this makes it blisteringly fast.

I must agree. It's a silly track for this car & requires patience. Me being impatient, I only got it on my third attempt.
I found Suzuka pretty easy, though? (With a wheel, at any rate...)
Suzuka was impossible for me. Took me well over two hours to drive it perfectly. Every other course I only had to run once, but Suzuka took forever.
Have to agree with the comment above... and the other thing I can't stand about creator courses are the endless.... ENDLESS blind corners. Every hill crest, save for a couple, are corners, and I know it's supposed to create challenge, but it borders on ridiculous.
I will continue to love the seasonal challenges, and hate the Eifel circuits.

Just got gold in all 5 events using AT (I am old, slow and lazy) and standard setup except changing oil and max down-force front and back. The tunes mentioned in this thread does not fit my driving style. Got gold in fourth attempt on Eiffel.

Since SRF is forced on, doing this without AIDS is:

Using auto transmission made things much easier for me too. I found that with auto I could dispense with TC altogether as the auto mostly handled that.
Made me wonder just how much of an AID auto is in the Time Trials etc, compared to those like me who use manual, regarding wheel spin.
