I wish that they'd do away with the rabbit cars & just make the AI harder to beat. 👍

For me it would also be the Ferrari F1 seasonal, especially the Nurb. It's odd how now when I go back to any of these including the Ferrari one they don't seem anywhere near as bad or hard.
I'm with you Jaywalker, wish PD would do away with the rabbits and just make the AI harder to beat also, a qualifying mechanism would be good so that you don't always have to start from the back of the pack if you're quali times are good enough.
Maybe GT6

I found the Lambo event quite tough, took quite a lot of trial and error with different cars before beating it. Also the Japanese 80s fest was tough as was the Honda Civic event at Clubman Route 5.

I'd vote for the Lamborghini event too and especially -surprise- at the Nurburgring. I did gold it but I swore that I wouldn't do it again.
Well ... I lied! Repeating the challenge made it look much less harder and quite fun the second time through.
I hope PD makes another one like it.

It's funny seeing the above answers are vertically all Lamborghini focused, I managed these, not with ease, but were doable within my usual time limit of a fortnight. But the Ferrari F1 events still remain ungolded, I'm not the biggest F1/formulaGT fan, so building up some enthusiasm to do them is hard enough. They'll be done one day, but it's going to have to be a really long boring day for me to make the time.

I found the Lamborghini race at Autumn Ring much harder than the one at Nürburgring. The Ring took a few attempts but it was obvious right from the start that you just needed a decent run without getting held up by the traffic to get through. Second or third attempt with such a run and I won handily. At Autumn Ring I had a hard time believing it was even possible at first, and it took easily three times as long.
Other than that, pretty much any PP/Tire limited race at Tokyo R246. I still have nightmares about trying to win there in a Marcos a while back, but I eventually determined that it was simply impossible in that car and had a much easier time of it with another.

Any recommendations for the best car to use for each of the Lamborghini events?

Gallardo is easiest if you want wins. Check the Lambo seasonal thread for tunes etc...
Some of the other seasonals are difficult too but you can cycle through the fields to get an easier lineup.

I had better results with my '74 Countach than my Gallardo. I suppose it might have just been tuned better, but the good runs came much more consistently. Or maybe it was because it is black?

The Lambo at Nurburgring Nordschleife....I've done all the other seasonals, but just can't finish better than second in that one, usually third or fourth, despite tons of attempts. Tried every car and tune I could find, but I'm just not quite fast enough. Hopefully I'll win it some day, before it closes.

Japanese 80' festival at Tsukuba. The Lambo race was hard but the circuit is much longer. The shorter track gave you less chances, and time, to catch the rabbit. Finally golded it but it wasn't very enjoyable. But I love the Nurg and can't say the same of Tsukuba so maybe its just me...

I thought the Lamborghini seasonal was moderately difficult but that Japanese 80's one was a bit more challenging. The circuit race where the lead car had a half lap and 30 second lead from the start was a pain.

MoLiEGJapanese 80's Seasonal??? Really?
I found it pretty easy
The Japanese 80's at Tsukuba was the by far the hardest. The rest of the tracks in this seasonal were easy.

Tsukuba usually tends to be quite hard in most events because they usually don't add enough(or often any?!) laps to the race to make up for it's much shorter length and resultant much shorter period to gain the same or often even more time(agan I'll say "?!") on the lead car than in the other races. More brilliant game design from our beloved PD.
The tighter packed corners let you gain a bit of time more often, but not enough to offset the track's length.

The Civic at SSR5 was tuff. You had to be on your A game against the right line up. Eifel was more fun but only slightly less so. The key seemed to be that first turn as most time is made up or lost there.
I went online for most those tracks for a civic practice cafe, with some friends, which helped garnish a feel for the car at 3 of the tracks. 2 of them are not on the list of available tracks that I could see. Eifel and SSR5(the short version). Consequently the most difficult of the races...
I started a new profile so I will be revisiting the 80's challenge. Anyone need friends add me. wWsLack3 - need some race comrades...
(EDIT) SSR5 the short version is on the list of tracks while in a cafe, but with a different name. Found it last night.

Oh God, don't remind me. I don't think I ever beat it.
But yeah, the Lambo seasonal is hard. I still haven't beaten it.
The only race I found hard in the Japanese 80's Seasonal was the Tsukuba race. Couldn't catch the rabbit, then there wasn't one and it was really easy. PD really needs to get rid of these rabbits... 👎
