Did we really need another Ferrari Seasonal?

Cyborg65 · Jun 30, 2011

We just had a Ferrari seasonal a month or so ago, why another so soon? Granted that one was for the F1 cars but with so many different manufacturers in the game why the need to repeat so soon?
How about an all Corvette challenge, or all v-dub, all pre 1970 japanese cars, there are so many ways they could have gone to change things up and make it interesting. Do they not read forums and get ideas of what the gamers want. I am happy to be getting regular updates now but I just cant get excited over another Ferrari seasonal.

so dont play it :-)

Check the payout / times. If nothing else, you can use it to grind money even faster than the Civic or BLW seasonals. In the Civic races, top prize was 371,400 for about 4.5 min of your time, which is why I kept doing Civics on Eiffel instead of the BLW one on NRing @ 439,500 for about 8 min.

I did Enzo on La Sarthe in 3:58, for 504,000. That's 10,000,000 in about an hour, if you stick with it.

not quite, more like 15 races/hr= 7.560,000 still a nice payoff 👍

I'd like to Thank the Seasonal-Event Commitee for bestowing this... This Magnificient Lap of Sarthe! And, I finally have an event to Break-In my Enzo!

Ondine · Jun 30, 2011

There's a pretty good variety, and I wouldn't compare the two Ferrari seasonal events. I think they just wanted a good F1 event--it was either with Ferrari or the FGT (which already has a series). It's awesome that we're getting regular event updates at all.

zanxion · Jun 30, 2011

Why not? What other seasonal would you expect? Something like Veyrons only?
This one is excellent! At last a race where modern ferrari's are let loose!

Gridpoint · Jun 30, 2011

I finally bought my first Big-Three. I got the Jag. The Ford is so formidable that my David-Instinct kicked-in. I want the Stallion next, but I don't wanna challenge that Buffalo without a 5.0.
(The Mark IV is the Buffalo :nervous:

)

I'm tuning an Italia(dealer) and an Enzo(prize), and then maybe the MagnumPI, or the F40, but I'm looking forward to the F50.
So-far the Enzo sounds best with Racing-Exhaust, (as My SLR must have Stock.. ) It's an honor to visit the racing-pits as well as the production-floor of any auto-maker. Have you ever heard the cliche' "Like a Fine Italian Sports Car"? - it goes along with Well-Made Wristwatches.

The Single-Player (A-Spec/B-Spec) modes give-out plenty of Mr. Ferraris' historic designs. These are a special season of Street Enthusiats (That means Productions, no numbered vehicles/RM. I guess it needs an Air-Conditioning Optional.

Gridpoint · Jun 30, 2011

I almost bought The Bentley.
5.S07 million. Anybody driven That-Thing?

zanxion · Jun 30, 2011

An interesting event would be one of a free selection in a complex truck, but also all opponents having random cars from the least to most powerful ones. That would make a hell of a road party!

CyKosis1973 · Jun 30, 2011

What I would rather have seen was a field of Ferraris and you have to beat them in a Lambo. You could run several different Seasonals in this way. Imagine trying to take down a field of Beemers in a manky Merc. You could even do it via drivetrain. Take down a field of RWD cars in a FWD.

I'm distinctly meh about Ferraris anyway, so wasn't about to get excited about this one. I'll take the Cr though and grind Circuit De La Sarthe. It'll make a pleasant change to Kei Car grinding, and hell, I might actually learn how to drive this track quickly. You never know, I might actually start liking it too..!!

I think the seasonals come to patch the lack of races in off-line mode, so everyone is welcome IMO.

Also the money and helmets wich i love.👍

then do the "le sarthe" again and agin...you'll get money and helmets each time!
I did this yesterday 8-10 times... :dopey:

what I now need are more suits...

PureLogic · Jun 30, 2011

i understand the OP's frustration. this is not the last ever seasonal so just enjoy it for now and in the coming weeks i'm sure there's gonna be a seasonal that you'll fancy.

bravoecho · Jun 30, 2011

payout is fine.

monotone races sucks...

we want more seasonals like "expert races"

ucwepn · Jun 30, 2011

I like this seasonal, most of the seasonals the OP mentions have already been done (or very similar) I remember a VW golf one and a 60's or 70's Japanese one, a american muscle one was not long ago. Its a good mix I think. maybe have a seasonal where the AI runs cars tuned just as fast as the players?

I too do understand the OP's frustration but as you rightfully pointed out there will be many more to come. Strange that I just knocked these new seasonals off and went back to Experts Seasonal as I have only golded 1 of the 3 races.

i think seasonal are just fine the way they are now, with good money and extra prices.
everybody should be happy, also the experts with this seasonal setup.
they are more challenging then before.

for sure i want to be able to win them, so not to much expert races just a few to break your head ones in a while.
those expert seasonal where unable to beat for me, and I'm not a beginner.

but i would like to see a Mercedes seasonal or DTM or a wet race

Kiddir420 · Jun 30, 2011

This.

High performance saloon car races would be good too

Bearcats · Jun 30, 2011

Seems fine to me as the Seasonals are all I am doing at this point.

This one allowed me to get back to 20M (quickly I might add) and stock all my Ferraris except the old school race one (P2?).

I have completed it with the 458 (easiest, albeit not the fastest 3:42ish) and the Enzo (still a fairly ugly car to drive in comparison but I drop my quickest laps with 3:3X) and the SP1 (not even worht mentioning as I cant get it tuned to my liking).

PureLogic · Jun 30, 2011

yeah a wet seasonal would be great!

I'd love that. Or even better: nice little preview of next year's DTM, Gran Turismo style. M3 vs S4 vs C63. Or the DTM racers and the M3 GTR as a seasonals, no performance tuning. I'd grind that thing like there's no rest of the game.

I do 13 mill yesterday in Le Mans, for suits i make an alternate acount, share a drift car, make the drift events, sent to first acount, delete savegame and so.👍

I was about to agree with op (pre 70's stockcar races sound AWESOME imo), but 6.560.000 (must buy ferary first, so i adjusted the winnings accordingly) is tempting.
I'll have to cool down first, 'm still 'not amused' by the fact the TT was cancelled.

F10/F2007 seasonal came out in FEBRUARY. so soon?

Lastest seasonal is for non race car Ferrari. (different)

I like this Ferrari Seasonal.. Specially the La Sarthe one

Perfekt for easy money

Smuttysy · Jun 30, 2011

Loving the payout on La Sarthe, hit the 20m limit twice yesterday!!
Night races, that's what I'd really love to see more of. Or even snowing in regular tarmac races, just to mix things up a bit! >:0)

dajesso · Jun 30, 2011

I am making a ton of coin on the de la sarte in the Enzo LOL 👍
