Just in case anyone's curious about how difficult this is...
I'm rubbish. I think I got silver on the original TT, and that was on the wheel. Using the pad and spinning on lap two, I caught and passed the lead AI before half-distance and won by ten seconds; I'm also about 20 seconds slower than the "top ten stars" leaderboard right now.
Easy (and welcome!) 2 million for ten minutes' driving.

Least it isn't Grant Tourismo. That one would be a real nightmare.

You guys easily won this event?
I only won by overtaking the last 2 cars on the last lap, and while my pace wasn't anywhere near my qualifying time, it was still a solid 1:16.5XX or below during the clean laps and only 1-2 seconds slower on the first 3 traffic laps.
And this was my 2nd try btw, because I finished the 1st one 2 seconds behind the leaders, finished 3rd place (I was really slow, in the 1:18 and 1:19s during the first 3 laps of my 1st try).

I don't know if the difficulty level matters but i was set on hard because of grinding at Sardegna and i got 1st place on my first try,getting the lead near the end of lap 7 and i over shot quite a few corners,the AI brake way to soon it seems,easy 2 million for running a sloppy 10:28,tks PD.
Edit: ran again in normal, got the lead near end of lap 6,about 3.5 seconds quicker

Famine has a habit of calling himself rubbish while being clearly fast, lol. Chikane probably is biggest grinder here and thus did well.
I also finished just behind the top two in my first try. And I am a DR mid B guy in Sport. Will have to try another day to get the whole two million.

Easy indeed ! I won it on the first try ! Despite a bad first lap, basically was further from 11th AI at the end of lap 1 than at the start of the race.
Passed everyone before the end of lap 7. Total race time 10m45 (normal mode) best lap in the 1:19.0xx
Very easy 2M Cr. !! Too bad we can't grind that event 😁

I was 4s off a win with the controller, but won it quite comfortably with the wheel - PB was 1:19.0xx with the controller, but I could get into the 1:17s with the wheel.

Just tried it out as an offline event to learn the wheel I've just been able to get. Second ever 90 minutes on the wheel and I managed to win it. Most of my restarts were due to me wrecking, but beware the AI is determined to PIT you if it ever gets on your inside.

I got second on a try 2s behind 1st, going as fast as I could.
Next try I was slower than the previous try and got to 1st place at end of lap6.
I bit strange that ai...

Without the spin, that would put you borderline D1 in the WRS.
There's a fair bit of rubber-banding, at least on normal difficulty. I was doing consistent 1:19 laps and caught the leader on lap 5. It took a dive-bomb in the turn after the tunnel on a sub-1:19 last lap to get by the rabbit (which did its own sub-1:19 lap on lap 7), and I finished in 10:35 (about 25 seconds off the top-ten). Judging by some other experiences up-thread, it looks like the difficulty slider does make a difference.

Ah... I forgot about this. Then those guys who were doing 10:20s time or higher and winning by a huge margin had the AI on either normal or easy.
I did a 10:15 and barely won by 1.4s.

I think it does. My first attempt was on normal and I managed to get on 3rd place with about 4 seconds in between me and the 2nd place. I did it again on easy and won with a 5 second gap. I was curious and did one final attempt on normal again and won again with a 2.5 second gap. Oh well, easy credits. I ain't complaining
