On pole was the Mclaren F1 followed by the GT by Citroen while at the back of the field was me in an Audi R8 LMS Ultra,
I did lap times in the late 1:23.??? With a fastest lap of 1:23.036 which made this an easy win overtaking everybody by the corkscrew on lap 4.

Second time doing this race, this time I used the TVR Speed 6 touring car with stage 3 engine and increased downforce. Wow that car is very fast doing laps of 1:22! Overtook everyone by the corkscrew on lap 4.

It is really amazing to me how versatile this Toyota TS030 is with sw_10's tune. Very nice and thanks some more. :)

Finally, the best track on the game. Will be running this one with lots of different cars. Easy to reach gold. Using TS030 and getting high 1:15s to low 1:16 laps. On to the next car.
GT-R GT500 Stealth made for another easy win. 1:20 laps. Quick cash if you need it.

@hall90 you are correct, too easy with the 2J (@praiano63 tune). P1 at the end of the 3rd lap. Won against the Nissan GT-R LM by 3.5 sec. and was not pushing it hard at all. 5 laps of 1:20 and change. Even had a messy lap 5 and still ran 1:20:715. I have to say this group of Seasonals brought a big smile to my face. Three of my most favorite tracks. Didn't even get the 330,000 payout because I've been at 50 mil. credits for months. I have more cars than I'll ever use all maxed out with every part and I drive maybe 20% of them. I already have all of the 20 mil. cars I wants as well. so these are just for fun. What to use next?

By all the race cars like me and tune them up. 👍
 
TOYOTA TS030 is a tough rabbit but there are other easier ones. Need 1:20.5 laps to beat the blue & white Toyota LMP car which is a pretty high standard. A time trial here earlier this year needed only 1:23.0 for gold.

I'd prefer these 600pp events to be limited to Japan GT500 for example and not use detuned mid-600 pp cars.

Praiano's HSV tune from the last Laguna Seca SuperGT event is perfect for this.

I also used @praiano63 tune but applied it to the Honda HSV-010 Base model '12.
Exact same power tuning, only the limiter untill i got 600pp and the gearbox matches the '11 hsv settings.
Got the rabbit at lap 4 in the corkscrew, and then he started rubberbanding..
Average lap 1:20.xxx/1:21.xxx

I have an early candidate for slowest rabbit. Personally, I think that driver got bored and fell asleep and ran off the course on the last turn, trying to wait for me and my poorly tuned Esperante to catch up!

Wow! The GT3 cars in this race drive like uncontrollable animals! I was rammed and slammed into. AI drivers kept flying through turns into sand pits. Geesh... I used an old favorite of mine. The Audi R18 TDI 15th Anniversary Edition. I haven't driven this car in so long, I kind of forgot how she handles...My victory was only by 1.4s but I think some better driving on my part would have widened that gap quite a bit.
 
Used the Toyota TS030 with the tune from the Silverstone seasonal. Adjusted the gears, and won with great margin. Ran 1.15s, 1,16s. Rabbit was the oreca viper.
 
First attempt, I used the Pennzoil Zexel GT-R '01 and lost by 9 seconds to the GT-R Concept LM race car!

The second time was a charm! Used the Nissan GT-R GT500 Stealth with two Ford GTs as the rabbits and won by 3 seconds!

Try the delta wing detuned in power. Handles quick but you really have to work the handling in order to win. I had the GT by Citroen and Ford GT as rabbits and didn't manage to get them by much. Had a fun time though. Only can imagine what would happen with the TS030 on the grid
 
Used my FT-1 VGT, with the settings for the upcoming endurance race. Overtook the McLaren just after the corkscrew on Lap 5.
Very fun race, the KERS is a godsend for recovering from mistakes.
 
Crazy AI is back, you've really got to watch behind you at the first corner and the Corkscrew otherwise you'll get slammed into. Not that challenging if you don't end up against the GT-R Concept LM Race Car. Used my Audi R8 GT3 and won pretty easily.
