Its practically a rather easy race as it requires 3 laps rather than 2.

1. Chapparal 2X is a blast. That is if you can drive it. Otherwise avoid as its an unstable car with terrible steering angle. Also the race isnt so hard it requires such a car, even with Hybride on the AI grid.

2. Pescarolo Hybride has the highest top speed excluding the 2X, easy to turn at high speed, and stable at braking. However since its a MR cars, some traction loss on low speed is expected. Try to control the oversteer.

3. Mazda LM55 is the most stable. Its 4WD means that it has almost no traction loss and oversteer to control. Its top speed are slightly less (about 20 mph) than Hybride but not much really. Downside is that its understeery at mid to high speed and the braking are really unstable.

Also when you on 1st, try to battle with the Hybride. Kinda scary, but controllable.

No. Though stock is enough, but i think people in this thread can help.

Ask and you shall receive...

Pescarolo C60 Hybride - Judd '05, 691PP. Set up for DS3. No performance upgrades, no oil change, no transmission flip. This is probably not a tune for the aliens, I aimed to make it consistent and driveable with a fairly clumsy driving style.

It may be a little tight through the first few corners, but once you're on the Mulsanne Straight it feels just pointy enough without trying to spin out every time you brake. If it's still too pointy, increase the spring stiffness at both ends; it's also worth increasing the max speed setting a couple of notches so that you can slipstream effectively. Haven't had time to try it in this event yet but I golded the recent TT with these settings (on RS, of course) so it should be capable of winning.

Way easier than the Historic event. Won on my second try with the Pescarolo Judd.
 
I didn't do any research, just picked a the Sauber Mercedes which already had a Praiano tune loaded up. I drove terribly yet still won on my first try by a decent margin. I imagine I could've used one overall several tuned 700pp race cars and won just as easily (and I'm an average driver, many a tiny bit better than average).

Once again we see how horrible the GT6 Seasonal Races are. The expert race last month was a rare gem in that you had to drive very well to win unless you you were racing against one of the slow rabbits.

Just venting here, but in GT5 we'd get 5 new expert races with a common them like Ferrari's under 600pp or Japanese 80's road card. Some of the races were relatively easy but some were very hard. You usually at least have to put in some time and do some homework to find the right car and tune to win at least one of the 5 races. However, in GT6 we get inky 3 races every month. A begginer and intermediate race that are ridiculously easy, plus an expert race that is usually easy enough to win on your first try. So after waiting 28 days for some new content, you've won all new races in 20 minutes.

Finally, in GT5, the Seasonals would stay posted for a year I believe, or several months at least. But with GT6, once the new races are posted, the old ones are deleted.

If/when a GT6 comes out, I will not buy it if my Logitech wheel isn't compatible with the PS4. I bought my wheel roughly 9 months before GT6 was released, and it was money well spent. However, if I had spent close to a G on a wheel just for GT6, I would've been very disappointed.

If anyone from PD is reading this, I think I can safely say 95% of GT6 racers agree with me so please do something to remedy the situation!
 
Unfortunately, PD has apparently switched focus, so the seasonals will stay this way. I have to agree, some of the expert seasonals are easy or completely devoid of any creativity (like the Tokyo seasonal event, wich had both forwards and reverse variants), it's really frustrating, especially to anyone who have completed the game and don't many options available.

Ran an easy 10:48 with settings as above but max speed increased to 249. Slipstreams nicely when needed. It's a bit twitchier under braking with the RH tyres than in the TT, but has good traction. Sub-3:25 laps are easy enough with a big safety margin and without abusing track limits. ABS=1, TCS=1, other AIDS off.

ETA - I've now tried increasing front and rear stiffness by 1.0 (20.10/18.90). Far more stable under braking and ~5mph faster in the Porsche curves. It hurts low speed corners and traction a little, but seems to be an improvement overall.

Low 3:30s needed to win, Rabbits run 10:58 to 11:10s. Seems to be easy to spin out, get a wheel just off and you're doing 360s. I used the Courage Pescarolo Playstation 2 car, with a Judd tune, but not quite the same.

Yep,, that car get's it dun easily, romp past the rabbit 2nd lap with tons of time to spare. The Sauber did run me down on the straights on the second lap but gave up at the Porsche curves final lap. The tune sheet is an attachment for anyone interested. This 905 and the Pesco are killer for these 700+pp seasonal's. :mischievous: The fun starts when we use something different than the norm. :scared: 👍👍 I'm compelled to give the old Nissan's a go now that we have the little R&D BRZ tucked away in the stock yard,,

I used the LM55 to get a first-try win, and it's a good thing, as several subsequent tries for a cleaner run left me infuriated. This race has the worst case of rubberbanding I've seen in a while. I won't be back.
 
Hi,

Pescarolo first try, third place, including a "big one" at Virage D'Indianapolis (the light right before the lefthander) :D

Should be easy to win with the second or third shot. We'll see tonight.

D.
 
This is one Seasonal I will not be doing.
27 second head start for the lead car and racing hards? 3 laps? AI who constantly get in my way? Time penalties that seem to apply only to me?
This isn't a race, this is a farce. And the creator of this event is nothing more than an asshole.

I've already spent weeks trying to break the Le Mans lap record, and now this? No thanks.
