Did this in my trusty Nissan Fairlady 2000 (SR311) '68 for the easy win. I remember an event very similar to this one ran on the same layout (reverse) in GT5 in which I logged an insane amount of laps. Really enjoy the reverse layout of this track, will be back to run many more stock cars in this event. On to the next event. :cheers:
 
BMW 507 well down from max PP still ran 91 second laps and cruised to win. GVEast is a good test/tuning track.
 
BMW 2002 to just (<1 sec) win on the second attempt! This car is fairly slow through the middle section but really gets going on the final fast section before the last corner.
 
Got 'er done very first attempt with my stock XKE (sort of - it was power-limited to make it legal for the race). Went back and did it again with my power limited, Praiano-tuned XKE on Comfort Softs. Will be coming bavk to improve times later. Have fun!

Now to go up the ranks and make bank.

Wanted to take out my Fiat panda again, but choosed the Honda Fit RS with soft suspension.
Long time ago that i drove this track in reverse.
 
'Full Race' :lol: Honda Z, around 69 BHP and 380PP. Used Sports Hard tyres to compensate for the enormous power deficit, and got far enough ahead out of the final hairpin to avoid the need for blocking. Great drive on this track.
 
Myself and @Otaliema had been working on a joint project car at 450PP. It transpires that the tune we created at 450PP works amazingly around this track at 400PP. If anyone wants to test out our "Grifter" (part grip, part drifter), the tune links are below (both are the same car, just in two different garages)

Subaru BRZ S '12

Indeed the BRZ grifter on CS tires can do 1:18's with some work and 1:20's with out trying hard. It slips but doesn't quite slide. But if you choose to drift it you will find it nice stable and easy to control it.
 
easyish win with my trusty Mini. Was just a case of passing all the cars and then keeping the GTO behind me, as i was down on power.

I enjoy these low PP Beginner Events since they allow me to use cars in my garage I typically forget about. Thought I'd try winning with all four drivetrains:

  • FF: Alfa Spider 3.0i
  • FR: Mazda RX-7 '85
  • MR: Hommell Berlinetta (fun)
  • 4WD: 3000GT SR '95
 
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint made this almost too easy.

I don't think I've driven this reverse course since the GT6 preview but I like the flow much better than the normal direction.

I think I'll be spending most of my GT time on this and the Matterhorn as Côte d'Azur gives me the squits! :)
 
I just went to "change car" on the event screen then picked the first that popped up. A 370pp nissan primera :P, still won though.

Ok, went back and tried some cars from my garage in different categories that weren't in my first go. Victorious with the following:

  • GERMANY: BMW 2002
  • USA: Focus ST170 '02
  • UK: Elise '11
  • JAPAN/MR: MR2 '86 (took a couple tries)
  • JAPAN/FF: Civic Type-R '98
All of these cars are original; straight from the showroom with no oil change and CS tires.
 
Fun race. Yeah these low PP races are always nice for a change. I always try with the lower PP's I have. First one that did it was my tuned Isuzu Bellet.
 
Loving taking out old cars fully stock, so far:

Alfa Guilia
BMZ 507
Merc SL300
All easy wins

Fiat 500 Abarth was fun too, but that and all the above have been far too easy. A pp drop and some of the odd handing cars should be fun.
