Just aced it a moment ago, first try, super-clean overtakes all the way to the finish line in a 500 PP RGT. I can see myself doing this race with a whole whack of different 400 - 500 PP cars over and over. Good drive.

I used the demio sport for the 400PP event and then just upgraded it fully to 494PP for this event.

First race for me was a comfortable win, though the Gallardo had closed the 1 second gap I had opened and almost had me by the finish line.

Great fun, and I'm a novice at this

Thanks for doing these threads, nowcontrol. 👍 Much appreciated!

 

[redsuns23]

M3 CSL here, did it with ease

 

[alex1369]

M4 easy win

 

[xZAMGMarmite]

TVR Tuscan with only a suspension tune, won with ease.

 

[TonyJZX]

not hard at all but the thing is you're facing much faster cars so i won a lot of races by blocking the other cars on the drag on the finishing straight

this isnt racing

1st attempt:

 

[Bluesman81977]

Shelby Series One. Not difficult at all. I also hadn't raced on this track since GT1. I was feeling a little nostalgic.

 

[Fuzzi0n]

Mazda Demio Sport '10 did it easy, was pretty near the PP limit too so I'm sure you could win with a 450PP or lower car. It's even easier if there's a Buick Special, the AI usually gets stuck behind it through the corners so it's no problem to get into the lead early.

 

[smasherguy1020]

Used a stock ferrari 430 Scuderia had a good race but it was pretty close with the other scuderia about 0.500 behind me.

 

[dddsprayshop]

Wow, i think i take a chevy corvette C7, first laps, okay, overtake rabbits in lap 4, and then??
I stay ahead for some seconds, and at the finish they race up to me as what?
0.073 seconds ahead of the leader at the finish.
I had to block him or i would have lost that one.
wow, i'm not posting my settings.There are better settings for this one.

I think that your driving style is how i like to drive.
You were not kidding, i shaved almost 6,5 seconds of each of my lap times
Corvette total time 8:26:828
458 italia total time 8:01:394
I could not match the exact BHP (i have more) and the total weight was different ( i have 10kg less).
But damn, if i get understeer in a big wide corner, just loose the gas and and it slides , and push gass when the nose points in the right direction.
I like it.

Mazda Demio Sport '10 did it easy

I used the demio sport

I started using the Demio Sport '10 (with stock CVT gearing) in low PP online rooms a couple of months ago and now I see it popping up everywhere. That car was my little sleeper secret.

Most of the other CVT geared cars are almost as fast, guess I'll start using those a bit more instead.

 

[Sick Cylinder]

I used an Alpine A110S which was very slow on the straights to win by 0.051 seconds - it took three attempts before I got a big enough gap not to be pipped on the final straight. I used aids off, cockpit view, HUD off to increase realism and immersion - really enjoyed it. I think I'll dig out a Lancia Stratos next - if it's too fast for a close finish I'll drop the power.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

I decided to go with my X-Bow for an easy gold. I got it "perfectly" set up at the London seasonal.

As soon as I saw the wall in the first corner coming at me WAAAY too fast, from the left side, I realized I still was on SH tires after the TT on Zahara
I thought I might as well continue to check out if I had the gearing at least half-ok. In the left hair-pin about 2/3 in to the 2nd lap, I spun out in 6th place. It made me considering a restart and tirechange, but I continued.
About 2 seconds before reaching the 2nd splittime at lap 4, I passed the 430 Scuderia for 1st place

Ended up winning with 6,xxx seconds.

Using DS3 with ABS 1 as only aid. The win got even sweeter by the fact it is my first set of seasonals using L2/R2 as brake/accelerator
Might even hook up my wheel and get back to this later

 

[testorz]

Won this race using the Nissan GT-R Black Edition '12. Close race too.

 

[Brewguy44]

Just did it with an SRT 4 and my tune thanks goes out to krenkme who I think did a tune for this car but I can't find it. Great little car with some horsepower and fun to drive. Beat the 430 Scuderia '07 by 6 secs caught him on the 4 lap.

 

[ALB123]

I had an absolute blast using my Lotus Elise 111R '04 with a tune provided by @Thorin Cain. You can find the tune HERE. I recommend turning all aids off except ABS 1 and changing the tires to fit the event, of course. This car has a lot of downforce which is nice and it looks cool as hell! I know his tune calls for 1.0/1.5 camber. I hadn't driven this car in quite some time and my camber was set to 0.3/0.5... I also ran a race with it at 0.0/0.0 just to see the difference. It definitely won't hurt your lap time using a bit of camber. I can't attest to 1.0/1.5 however. Use what you feel comfortable with. His gearing seems to be pretty perfect for this track too. I would get up to 150MPH just before having to lift off as you enter the tunnel and sweeping turn after the very long straight (start / finish line).

Good luck everyone! This is a fun event for trying various cars...I'm going to enjoy this - I rarely drive these kinds of tracks, so that's a bonus, I guess.

Thanks for the shout-out:tup:

I'm glad you like my little Lotus and that you found it useful for this event. I've still this do this one and the Ascari race ( Was having too much fun with my Old Honda S800 and Celica round Tsukuba) I think I'll give the Elise a shot too, haven't used her in ages.

@nowcontrol. Thanks for stepping up to keep the seasonal threads up and running, great job

Well, I would normally find that very hard to believe, but I started a new entity today and so I only had one car, the trusty Honda Fit. I slapped a turbo on the little shoebox and went out and smoked 'em?!?!? I was making so much money I couldn't quit driving this event and in no time at all, I was up to 1.2 million? I'm not sure this is very realistic, to be smoking Rufs, Ferraris, GTRs and Corvettes with a 300 HP Fit but it worked for me anyhow. Fun with a Fit!

I see where you are coming from, but the way that I try to think of these events (and maybe I'm way off base in my thinking) is that you could be driving against RUF's, GT-R's, Ferrari's and Corvette's, but the drivers are inexperienced in those cars. That's why it's an Intermediate event and not an Expert event.

 

[Vini]

detune Ford Focus ST first try - immediate victory

 

[carpergazza]

M3 CSL here, did it with ease

M3 CSL here to,i love that car

 

[Blacktop]

Used the RX8 for the 1st time ever, don't know why I used it. I really don't like this car but I won by 5.6 secs. I put a wing on it (come on give me your laughs of ridicule) and the car slide around just right on the curves, go figure.

 

[Staquix]

Thought I would make this interesting with some classic muscle so I took out the 70 Nova. I did some tuning on it and won but not by much. It needs a light touch on corner exit's and the 5 speed makes it hard to stay out in front on the straight. I'm happy to share my tune for the car if anyone is interested.
