Endurance vs seasonal

[Frippe]

After the seasonal events went live with the update, PD really should increase the money and XP for endurance races.

It just feels silly that I today raced for 4 hours, doing over 200 laps on Tsukuba and I got 200 000 cr. I do 5 laps on the seasonal event and I get 1 million cr.

I like racing in GT5 and I play it for the actual racing, not just the credits, but some incentive for doing 4 hours or more on a single track should be rewarded.

This should be a easy fix for PD to just increase the credits and XP for endurance races alot.

Bad news, Bob doesn't earn anywhere near as much money for winning the endurance races as you do in A-spec.

Nah, the seasonal events are just the bonus.

I think the XP is fine for Endurance but the money is a bit rubbish...

 

[Highlandor]

Yep, just one of the many things about GT5 that make you scratch your head and say ''why??''....

Can you do the seasonal races over again and still get the same amount of credits and XP?

The prize cars are especially rubbish.

No.
Like the Special Events, it's one time only.

Some of the prize cars are OK such as the A and B spec Indy 500 prizes but the CR award on B-Spec is a joke, my Bobs are running Indy 500 B-Spec at the mo and you only get 89k for however long it will run (vs 117k for Indy Grind fest for 3 mins).

Altough you cant, it still makes no sense that I get 200 000 for 4 hours or racing and you get 1 million for 5 laps in seasonal races. It seems quite obvious that they added the seasonal races to make it more easy to make money and XP, but they shouldnt just let the A-Spec suffer from it and making racing in A-Spec so much inferiour.

I think the should also make the seasonal events have a prize car, because the endurance races prize cars are rubbish; frankly all prize cars are rubbish aside from a handful of like the Bugatti.

I already gave PD up. They will never change it. Its just like GTPSP, 2 laps around the test course rewarded you with more money then 70 laps around Monaco...

Exactly. Its a bonus. If you don't have internet you don't even get this boost to help level up.

Yeah prize cars would be nice. Who knows, future ones could. I think these seasonal events are experimental.

When the seasonal events came out I felt so cheated by PD that I almost puked. I put at least a hundred hours in this game to get to level 28. Now It takes you about 3 hours to get there with the seasonal events. The only thing that is worth something is the 24 hr Le Mans race(experience wise).
