I'm willing to bet that the majority of people finding this easy are using paddle shift, ABS, traction control and so on. They've made it easy, not PD.
No, it's simply people extrapolating the level of difficulty of the entire DLC based on one or two events, or as is the case with the Oldtimers event at Nurb, they are cherry picking an obviously broken event and using that to claim all the events are of a similar difficulty.
Let me use the GT One at Le Mans as an example. The 2 Pepper GTR is faster in a straight-line than the other cars. So, as long as you don't make mistakes, you'll be fine. This is an easy 2 pepper race.
Here is my 2 pepper Group C memories from last night. I won by almost a second. I included a video so you can see what the last lap looked like, and that video is a more accurate representation of the event. If I posted a screenshot showing that I won by a second, would you have expect that this was the last lap?
And you used the best car… The middle car is a great challenge.. the NSX I would have to lock in crazy and I am not about that life right now lol! Great race congrats.
FYI, for the long endurance events, the save feature can be used as an exploit. If you exit the game to force the save, the race begins again as if it were a red flag, erasing the gaps. That gives everyone a chance to get themselves into a good position to win. Granted, it's a little cheezy, but I'm not likely to do the 24 hour races multiple times.
In the 2 pepper Spa events, I've had a few crashed already from pushing too hard and the save will literally save me. Also, I've discovered (or, I should say I suspect) that I can run a full fuel stint on RS tires, which should increase my chances of winning. I'm going to restart the 6 hours of Suzuka and bump myself up to 2 peppers. I want the bragging rights of 2 pepper on everything.
