Ideas for new seasonal events

[cannandreas]

As well all know, the PD Seasonals are a bit dull at the moment. Im just looking for opinions and ideas that can be incorporated into the game. So fire away!

 

[testorz]

I'd like to see a nascar seasonal and maybe one that features cars from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, etc !

 

[Giulietta73]

Some 20-30 lap Enduros would be good, one make, stock, restricted tire choice. Any circuit. 👍

 

[AnTiheLT]

More laps, and sometimes restict it to1 car only & also No tuning allowed once in a while + Some Karts events only

 

[axl54]

Include some longer Aspec races with damage/weather/time transitions/pit stops etc.
Seriously, these features are ALREADY in the game, why not utilise them to make more interesting races???????
Le Sigh, game has been out nearly two years, they're not likely to change the seasonals' grindy and repetitive formula now.

I know nothing of the sort! I'm quite pleased with the new seasonal set-up, thank you very much. It's about time PD introduced a risk/reward system whereby the user gains by making a race harder and is rewarded by doing well in it.Also by limiting tire selection they have improved my driving abilities noticably.

In my opinion this is the smartest thing that PD has done since the games inception.

No ABS
Comfort Tyres

No cup holders

a longer race - perhaps a single LeMans style stint - not 24 hours but a real chunk of the race... Hell the seasonal could be six, 2 hour events and make a 12 hours of Spa-Francorchamps.

Frites and Mayonaise and some of that post race Chimay beer

Yes, mini enduros would be great, using LMPs...with a rolling grid start, full tyre wear and fuel mileage.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

One make/model, no tuning time trial and races with no aids allowed, except for ABS ( optional ). With the races - 10 or more laps with fuel/tire wear. A good example : Lancer Evo only race or Subaru STI only race.

They already have a risk/reward system- you get more credits and xp for using a less powerful car.

Anyway, I would like to see an RR drivetrain seasonal, and also an MR seasonal, not quite sure why they missed out that one.

Enduros would be good, but the payout would be insane!

I would like to see the return of some classic events, like Evolution Meeting, Race of Red Emblem, etc.

I like that idea.....

Yes,that's what I meant. As in, What took them so long to figure that one out?.

That's a perfect system Imo because it encourages learning.

 

[rcsalmon]

Standing Starts.

 

[jimipitbull]

B- grade spec zombie themed seasonal event. Bob vs the AI skylines

 

[Mooman117]

MR 600 or 630pp.

All driving aids always need to be allowed, else people will just complain.

 

[Da_Stig]

- Actual proper races with dynamic AI that reacts to you and whatnot, rather than the standard chase-the-rabbit formula

- +1 to weather/damage/fuel & tyre wear

- Super GT races that include both GT500 and GT300 cars racing together (like the real thing)

- +1 to sprint enduros (ie 30 laps). And on tracks like SSR5, Tokyo R246, High Speed Ring, Top Gear test track (figure of 8 layout would make for some interesting photo opportunities lol), Deep Forest, Spa, Eigar Norwand trail K (the long offroad one) to name a few.

- More rally events

- Electric/hybrid races

- +1 to standing starts

- Maybe some one-on-one races...? (ie Evo vs WRX, BMW vs Merc, FGT vs F1)

Yes that is true, but the new Seasonals are already in the game.( E.g. The Sport Truck Race is already in it. FR, FF etc...) It's being lazy. They need to brain storm and find more appealing, adventurous events.

B- grade spec zombie themed seasonal event. Bob vs the AI skylines

Gran Turismo The "Real" Driving simulator.

 

[Vegard]

I would like to see weather and tire wear.
I'm also sick of sprint races with rabbits. Give us 10, 15, 20 laps with pit stops.

I have also been thinking about a reverse rabbit race.
You start up front in an underpowered car. Can you keep first place?

+1. It would involve a fair bit of blocking and corner cutting (where possible).

 

[byegad]

I love the new seasonals. Once I've won all the events at close to maximum pp I try lower value pps and have had some cracking races coming anywhere from 1st to last but all close racing.

I do like the idea of a Nascar series in seasonal and a Le Mans series, either proper 24hr cars or the LM series cars.

 

[testorz]

A Nascar seasonal would be nice !

 

[JMoney]

I want a modern car event, like from 2005-present. Also on newer tracks.

 

[Morgoth_666]

I'd like some seasonals that use an AI Aggression setting of 10.

Barring that(or even better combined with it), some 30-60 minute races with tire wear and fuel depletion would be nice.

PD's implementation of seasonal events is so mind-boggingly incomprehensible, I don't even hope for improvement anymore. Seasonals should be more like the special events:
- grid start (or at least no 40s gap to the leader)
- Weather change
- no rabbits
- longer races
- championships
- day/night
- tire wear and fuel depletion
- race car themed (GT 300/500, NASCAR, Rally, LMP...)

Sadly, it seems we will never get either of these.

This guy should apply for a job in PD

Based on his Avatar i am not sure....

 

[MoLiEG]

Why bother? PD won't listen to us even if we give them the best idea ever...

They are completely close-minded...
