[Polsixe]

Pretty basic, stock NASCAR set for 205 mph. Not at all like "Like the Wind" race. Caught lead pack of 5 easily and played with them for a couple laps, then passed for a routine win. AI slows too much in T1 and T3.

 

[FoRiZon]

Not as hard as the main career, let alone Arcade Mode.

I am dissapoint.

 

[coryclifford]

I drove with a beer in one hand the entire time.

 

[LM7325]

Well it pays good. But I think this is a one and done for me.

 

[TonyJZX]

Did not like this one at all. Used a random car with the street tune. Dropped all downforce to nothing, 330km/h gearing. They are easy to overtake but once you overtake they're on your tail and dont mind pitting you.

Also never had to change out of 4th gear the whole race.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Took the lead on lap 2. Cruise to victory. Just set up the car so you can go flat out the entire lap.

 

[UltimateLurker]

I used an Exeter tune on my Juan Montoya car, it had the wrong FD for this race, but I won anyway (had to do a bit of blocking here and there). One, and done...I HATE NASCAR.

LOL. Sonofagun. Cheers.

I've been looking forward to another NASCAR race so I'll be checking this one out later.

 

[Cowboy]

$600,000 in 4 minutes.

I'll be grinding this one for sure

 

[Kossie]

Try the super lap tune Jimmy car but that not works lol. Im so in the Eiger tt . This is boring.

Not fun SE this time

 

[Nihamavasa72]

and another Charger ... beautifull car anyway ... took it in black

just dont make the front too "good" ... this does not require much steering

 

[StirlingMoose]

I drove with a beer in one hand the entire time.

Standard practice for NASCAR, surely? The only way I can see to make this a challenge is beer in one hand, smoke in the other and steer with your knees.

 

[coryclifford]

I'm upping the game with texting. Beer, smoke (I don't), and a phone.

 

[cjr3559]

With the 200% login bonus the time is finally right to load up my garage with all of the NASCARs available in the game.

(I've only got the single Jeff Gordon prize car).

So win, purchase, win purchase. Or in other words: Lather, rinse, repeat.

As easy as this events sounds, I should have them all in hour or two.

 

[GTvsForza]

Why can't the NASCAR race be this easy?

 

[Nihamavasa72]

...

for sure
but the intermidiate event is more fun

 

[Racin510s]

Stock settings on a 2013 Denny Hamlin Toyota except for an oil change and lowering the DF for the win by a margin of just 0.255 sec. Won and done with this one. The Intermediate and Expert Races are heads about this one. I really only wanted the chrome chip for bronze.

 

[frenzal]

Left it at the 585pp setup for a decednt race.

 

[MN6WS6]

I saw the preview thing in the news section that said "NASCAR" and I immediately thought "I hope it's two laps with 43 cars and you start dead last to make it kind of hard" and it ends up being 12 cars, single file. No matter: no downforce, 224mph, stay low, watch your mirrors. Easy-Peasy Lemon Squeezy.

I would like that 43 cars thing though. They could even name it "Epic Whining and Crying on the Internet Seasonal" and if you win it you get all the cars and unlock all of the locked stuff like the hackers exposed in GT5.

 

[coryclifford]

That was pretty funny. And be sweet if they did that.

 

[shaunm80]

Here is the only NASCAR tune I have in my garage but it seems to do the trick here.

2013 Jeff Gordon 24 Chevrolet SS (627PP RH Road/ Twisty Track Setup) - Reduce power to meet regs.

If you can't match the transmission settings, reset to default, leave gear ratios as standard and extend FG to give more speed when drafting.

 

[Fuzzi0n]

Really easy as it's flat all the way around and the AI slows down. I do find it funny that all the road cars are way too quick in a straight line, but in the Chevy I struggle to get above 215 mph with minimum downforce. One of these cars with no plate would do 230+ mph easily.

Also brought back memories of the Daytona round of the B-Spec NASCAR championship from GT5, thankfully I don't have any issues overtaking a car in a straight line unlike the AI did.

 

[gladaran]

You are the man!

LOL. You guys are bad.

 

[davidt33]

I'll be trying this race tomorrow Saturday. Too late now.
Hope it's as easy as you guys say or else

 

[coryclifford]

It's very easy. Only one hand needed.

 

[StirlingMoose]

Found a way to make this fun. You might need two hands though.

 

[coryclifford]

Comfort Mediums eh?

 

[StirlingMoose]

Comfort Mediums eh?

Yep, stock settings and all aids off. It's fine as long as you keep out of the way of the AI. One tap on the rear quarter and you're spinning for a very long time.
