Best Cars for Compact Cars Seasonal

[Cyborg65]

68 Honda S800 RSC race car. 112hp and 404pp and I sure under estimated that car. I picked it because it was old, low horsepower, but light with the race option. What a suprise, won most of the races by 10 seconds. I never drove this car before this seasonal but i think im gonna limit the engine a little and go back and do it again, that little car was fun. Comes in handy on the tokyo kart track, its small and nimble and gets in those tight squeezes to make passes.

I just used my Civic Type R RM car and won all five races. I even did the Tokyo R246 deal twice so I could get three suits to go with three helmets. So I went 6 for 6 you can say. Though everything is random, I always want to have an equal number of helmets and suits. Anyhow, you'll be fine if you get a Civic Type R and Race Modify it. Just make sure to keep your tuning at or below 450PP. My Civic is at 450PP for the event.

I used the Toyota RSC non rally version. 4wd, mild Understeer, and it 4 wheel drifts around most corners if you brake late.

I used a great and fun car to drive. Mazda MX-5 Roadster (NA) '07

Light, no under steering problems and did the job. Besides it's a must have for at least two A-Spec races so I'm sure anyone who's gone through %80 of GT5 has one or a different model year of it.

Think the PP is too high [Caterham Seven Fire Blade] >.<

It is. By the time you push that one under the PP requirement, it just doesn't go anymore. It's still a relatively easy win, but it's just no more fun to drive.

 

[TrackpadUser]

I used my fully modded Karmann Ghia.

Fun to drive and pretty on par with the opposition.

 

[TuongLuKim]

I used the Lancia Delta, great car and a lot of fun

 

[NotSoSilentBob]

Toyota MR2(SW20) 97 I think. Right around 450pp and fun to drift around on the Tokyo bay course.

 

[garbuckle]

I think the easiest way to get through this, if that's your goal, is to take your Elise 111R from the expert challenge, add a little ballast to get to 450PP and some racing softs, and just tear through the tracks.

I had quite a lot of fun using the Autozam AZ-1 on the Tokyo Bay race, but even on that track it was hard to use.

 

[Akira GT]

Autozam!!! Fun and easy to drive if you got a tune for the thing... Im even doing the events on sports tyres!

 

[atomicnmd]

I used my Miata 89 Tuned with everything cept All The engine stages and Weight Stages , easy win

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

Difficult challenge: stock Suzuki swift pp351 on sports soft. Cape ring very easy. R246 very very hard. Tokyo bay challenging
Well matched: mini Cooper s 07. Sports soft or light tuned sports hard.
Plain fun. Ofc concept tuned. Honda beat.

 

[H0nda]

Spoon CR-Z fully tuned

 

[DnBasshead007]

Nissan mm-R Cup Car. fun little car to drive. makes for great competition.

 

[JeffHass29]

BMW M Coupe
-Racing Softs
-Middle exhaust option
-Power limited (94.4% for mine)

Car handles like a dream, looks sweet and it just plain fun to drive. Really making these seasonal a lot of fun to do. Wouldn't mind seeing more like this.

So many old cars which I never thought I'd use will see action at this.

 

[SKOT_FREE]

I'm using an EK civic detuned down to 250 HP and it's easily smashing The AI cars.,

 

[SKOT_FREE]

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.

Exact same thing I did and the thing just has no heart and turns like a charm at any speed. I really use mine for my B spec and the occasional Civic online meet. I'm usually drifting.

 

[Pitt34]

hyundai clix concept '01

 

[Michelin]

use a FT86 Concept stock, that car can do wonders, I tell ya

 

[Mizzou1984]

I've been using a stock '87 Lotus Esprit, it's so much fun in this series, especially flicking around the cape ring.

 

[elric718]

S2000 with comfort softs.

Add minor tuning items as needed.

 

[savage388]

Sorry for the double post but whats the fastest car for grinding on Tokyo bay?

 

[seadog777]

I used a fiat 500.

Did you win??

I tried the Mini.. for some reason understeer was really bad in this series... I'd never had a problem with it before.

Then used the VW Beetle Cup Car, easy wins on all tracks.

But if you want slaughter, try the Audi S3..... dream drive!

 

[wnw65]

Civic EK '97 did the trick. A load of fun. Even better with traction control off.

 

[lonny2001]

I used my favourite Kei-Car-Cup Seasonal car, a 420PP Suzuki Cappuccino (EA21R) RM '95.
Lots of fun, but way to easy

 

[hol]

Used my fiat 500 which I had setup for the expert seasonal, just wound the power back up, handles on rails and an easy win.
