Can you use the gamestop nascar car in this special event?
Yes, but there's an 850hp limit so if you did an oil change you're out of luck.

Has anybody else running into a "You have to register at gran-turismo.com to participate" message in the Nissan race?
It lets me do some of the other Seasonal Events, but not the one with the Nissan...
The thing is, I AM REGISTERED... I'm logged into the site right now.
Anybody?
I admit... I use the driving line on the 'Ring because I just plain don't know it well enough to keep the pedal to the floor on a lot of those blind hills. Some of them you can stay in it, some you have to lift, some you have to brake. Maybe someday I'll know it well enough, but I don't yet.
Great to have new events already, I thought we might have to wait for the first set to expire!
I must be doing something wrong in the Mini challenge, because I have tried it twice, driving what I thought were some fairly clean laps, and only managed 8th!! both times.I did upgrade to the racing transmission so what speed should I set? Maybe I'm just not getting enough acceleration. I upgraded what else I could, though I think I only put on the sport suspension because I don't know squat about setting up cars.
Thanks, I will try that. Does that require the full race suspension or just the adjustable sport one?
I'm enjoying the Seasonals; a lot more fun than endlessly grinding enduros, and since the payout is more than the cost of the cars that need to be entered, it's encouraging me to buy new cars, that are usually near-stock, to compete.
The Mini race fell easily enough, but am I the only one finding the Focus one nearly impossible? I gain the usual few seconds on the leader the first lap, but the Focus RS over-takes the Civic after that, and while I can still gain time, it's only a second, maybe 2, a lap. I don't think I'm that far off pace since I can manage all the other races pretty easily.
The Mustang is a bit harder than expected, and the limitations are unusual. You can't get close to the minimum weight, since Stage 1 takes you under, but I'm pulling consistent low 1:42's in what I thought was a decently tuned Mustang. Looks like I'll have to throw some more gear at it; I know this track all too well, I just can't eke out much more from the car in this state of tune.
(EDIT) Nevermind, the Mustang just needed a proper transmission. Low 1:41's or high 1:40's are good enough to take out the lead by just after the Corkscrew (or during if you're brave).
So, do the old events dissapeear when the new ones pop-up?
I haven't got access to my PS3 at the mo (I'm having some house renovations done, so I'm living with my folks), so I'm starting to stress that I'm missing some good events here...
Hey damn are the old events from last week gone? I had no time to play them and want to give them a try today :/

The first selection of races are still there, i think they expire on the 6th January. Not sure when the new ones finish, i'm doing a 4 hour b-spec race at the moment.
When are the Christmas Eve free cars going to be up?? It's 1000hrs here in the UK and I've just checked the PS store, but not there.
Yeah I agree that the Focus race is very hard without assists, I tried many times but could never catch the Focus RS. Then a brief look here and golded the race right after...
I'm not a fan of assists but skid recovery works wonders here.
