I think I could have had another 1.5 seconds off my laptime without even considering an ECU and that would have put me within about 5 seconds of the leader.

I agree the power will be a mixed blessing with this car. A LSD would certainly help the car a lot. With LSD, suspension and custom gearbox I reckon it would be possible.

I only use ABS 1 and I refuse to use SRF.


Well one more thing to do for the weekend!

Gonna try this on sport hard and see how much can I gain, considering this layout was never ever loaded before there must be some time to gain just by driving better.
 
You do know that when you finish first you get all of the credits and experience from first place and down right? :dunce:

Yup, I just wanted to share my process of figuring that out the hard way. Although, I do enjoy MR beasts at that course, so it wasn't so hard.
 
One more thought. Couldn't one create new accounts and complete all of the seasonal events on each of those accounts for quick cash and then use those credits to buy rare cars and gift said cars to your main account?

Shhhh you are going to distrub the Fair Play Police.
 
So the races went from interesting and challenging in Race #1, to just about impossible without SRF for Race #2, to being super easy for Race #3?

Is so then my guess is PD is trying to figure out just hard to make them.

If they removed the tunning limits for Race 3 and they became too easy then do what I do in A-Spec: limit yourself. This way you can adjust the level of the challenge to your skills. I prefer this to the BS we saw in Race #2 where the races were way too difficult.
 
I have loads of credits, but for the 1000 car trophy we need more

Ahhhh.... Finally. Something you DO care about.

So, just to put things in perspective, how would you feel about something, some exploit or game 'feature' that made instantly unlocking the 1000 car trophy a piece of cake? You know, everyone that had the game had the trophy...?

Would you feel that that had somehow been devalued, and that a previously cherished goal had now become little more than a joke?

Do I know you? Not sure what this is about.

I don't see why it's made easier? I'd rather do new events than grind certain races over and over.

Glad I don't work with you. Your the guy who just turns up one day with a shotgun.

Forget it and relax man.
 
I just tried out the Trial Mountain race on the freshly unlocked Bonus Race 3. I used a mostly stock Ford GT with Race-Hard tires and was surprised how easy this 5-lapper was, by far the easiest $1,000,000 and 90,000 XP I've encountered.

Edit: Same for Rome/Citroen WRC, very easy race, in P1 at beginning of lap 3. $1,500,000 and 120000 XP.

It was a pleasure pickin up that 1,000,000 from the trial mountain race, wish I could do it again.
 
Gold the Loeb challenge wins the C4 WRC car....which in itself is tricky...

The Ford GT race was tough with a tuned car on Sport Medium(AI is on sport hard) I did weight reduction and added a sports exhaust and suspension kit. The track is a bit slow for the car and on stock gearbox you don't go higher than 4th ever...it was a lot of braking and fighting traction on exit of slow 2nd gear turns....not that fun but ultimately did payout...

The C4 race was made trickier by the track and I had to result in using sport soft instead of the sport medium tire. I think it is doable on medium but at my skill level and not using ABS it'll be much harder..

You should've gone with sports... Again, can't stress this enough, race tyres are waaaaayyy to grippy. Avoid them! If you dare...
