[discspeed]

What are you using for this Seasonal?
I welcome replies on multiple levels:
-Difficult challenges for the hardcore
-Cars that are well matched to the AI
-Fastest possible cars/setups
-Just plain fun cars to drive

Personal preference - Mitsubishi CZ3 Tarmac (road version) 4wd, bags of get up & go and really easy to throw into corners. I also left the stock gearbox on, as it's a true "automatic" type, and doesn't lose speed during gear changes.

(Lapped the last few racers on each of the tracks)

This seasonal is the first reason I've had to drive my Autobacs Arta Garaiya '03....Stock with oil change(SH tires) it's right around 450pp. This car drives incredibly...It handles every bit as well as my tuned Elises, only less twitchy. Definitely a fun drive.

For a challenge I've been racing my Autozam maxed on on comfort softs.

I used my "K Car" Copen active top (in reflex spice. ) (207hp close to 850kg,450pp exactly) Fun to drive,I won the Rome event by 4-5 seconds.

Miata has been working great for me

If you're looking for a challenge, especially on Tokyo, try the Kubelwagen fully tuned. Great fun and it's awesome to finally bust the thing out for something other than owning old supercars on Laguna Seca.

1st time around I used my Civic Type R(EK) RM '97. Had it ready to go from another race series. Cranked the power down to 60% and had a blast.
Now its time to find something that is going to make it a real challenge.

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else will be using.

205 Turbo 16 '85
399 pp (oil lamp burning), 4wd and quite tailhappy. nice drive
Edit: In fact a bit to fast...

 

[xX_F Alonso_Xx]

I use the Renault Clio V6 24V '00. It's way faster than the AI if you want to grind and it's a dream to drive too.

 

[gtfan007]

I used a fiat 500.

 

[mrluckypants]

is a Lotus 111R allowed in this series?

 

[doodooshorts]

stage 2 r32 vw....its not a premium buts its fun.

[CyKosis1973]

HKS Kansai Suzuki Swift Sport

I'm currently working on a lower spec version using either Sports Hard or Medium tyres. I need to have another thrash against the 207 GTi to see if it's up to pace though...

I've had this car twice now in online shuffle races, and I vowed if I ever get this car again, I will throw my GT5 game disc far into the horizon until it lands on Kaz' desk. Worst online car ever. Unfortunately, shuffle racing is never random, so I always get this car at the 2nd shuffle.

I used the Kubelwagon too. Great Fun

cool, thx good to know, I have the tropy car version of this I always used in the French Seasonals. I also beat the Supercar seasonal with it too.

 

[baio]

A stock Autobacs Arta Garayia with sport hards is fun and well matches the other cars. A stock Z4 is good if you want fast money

 

[Indy Racerfan]

I used a tuned Honda CR-z(spoon copy), it was fun, but almost lost at cape ring(running out of battery power) also used a Mini S not as fun

 

[MadMax]

Toyota Corolla Levin GT-APEX (AE86) '83 202HP/940kg 423PP
S1 tyres , custom LSD , Mid RPM Turbo and other power upgrades to reach 202 HP.
Stock suspension/gears.

Won the first 4 races , 6 seconds behind the leader on Tokyo Bay kart track.

Anyone use the Caterham Seven Fire Blade in this? I would imagine that car definitely is short enough.
