Back to the usual Seasonal difficulty levels for this.
Ie you decide how hard you want to make it.

 

[Blitz24]

I'm more annoyed they took away all of the old seasonals prior to the Super GT.

 

[GraphiteGB]

Prize car ticket per non time trial seasonal Makes up for it. For me any way...

Only winnable once. The tickets won from all of the other series were laughable. Euro Hot Hatch got a Level 2 Ticket, Japanese Classics got a level 3 (may have switched those 2 accidentally).

I got level 19, 20, and 21 and with my second private PSN ID I can earn them again and then Transfer 1 A day thats 7 tickets per week. This is alot easier than Birthday duplication

Is winning tickets from the older seasonals part of the update? Hope sp, since I didn't get one when I golded all the races previously, laughable or not.

yep All non time trial seasonal events now give the tickets out Automatic if you have golded the events as soon as you enter the track selection for them.
All Done PDs server end.

 

[powerstrokin06]

Well hot damn!! I like the sound of that, so what kinda tickets ya'll been getting???.........Stars and Stripes looks to be a goooood $$$$$$ maker and alot of good fun!!

 

[GraphiteGB]

Japanese classics= level 2 cars Ticket.
European Hot hatch = level 3 cars Ticket ( When traded in I got a random TTcoupe 3.2 quattro 07 )
Stars & Stripes = level 13 cars Ticket.
ONLINE B-spec Challenge = level 19 cars ticket (When traded in I got Another random GT-R )
World circuit tours = level 18 cars Ticket
Super GT = level 20 car Ticket.

Tickets Can still be duplicated with secondary accounts so these seasonal prizes have now instantly devalued these tickets.

 

[CyKosis1973]

Muscle Car Seasonal on the cards then..??

{Cy}

So I was right, sorta. Glad they're tying up the OCD update and the Seasonal Events. Time to go and spend some of the millions I've earnt doing the Euro Hot Hatch event... 👍

{Cy}

 

[supra725]

Maybe is time to give the old a spec races again for some fun..

 

[1241Penguin]

Am I the only one who's racing a guy called "S. Vettel" on Cape Ring? I can't seem to beat him...

And I'm not kidding either!

 

[djrebel236]

the latest update wont let me race the stars and stripes, it just sit in the loading screen
nevermind, after i shut down my ps3 for a time(10 mins) i restarted it up and gave it another try, i was able to race, the new races are cool.

 

[Malc01]

I'm more annoyed they took away all of the old seasonals prior to the Super GT.

Likewise, and I think its more than just the ones after the SuperGT..

PD - bring them back please !

[Even include them in an update to A spec??]

On topic, 600pp of US power, on sports hard...

hmmm might need to put my TC back on at 5 !

or just run the AEM S2000 ! Sorry...

There's no tire restrictions on this event and i guess the AEM is not eligible since it's not a "normal" car.

 

[Rayzah]

Would have been nice to have Indy road course for this so called 'stars and stripes' event, rather than a Tokyo track. Or even better, Seattle circuit

 

[tireguage]

My level 19 ticket got me a Jag XJ13! Very sweet...

 

[Michelin]

Has anyone raced the Eifel track ? Isn't it the same from the GT-R Time Trial ?

Yes, same track so pretty used to it as I must have done >300 laps for the time trial!

 

[jacnob]

I used the ZR1 on sports softs. It was good fun, had to be careful about spinning.

 

[Biggles1961]

I used my modded '00 SVT Cobra R. A bit too easy.My try my '71 Mach 1 next.Fun races! !

 

[Michelin]

Viper ACR stock used, could drift at most turns and still win

 

[Motor City Hami]

I also used the ACR Viper with only adding sport softs. Easily wins all of these event. Really only used the ACR Viper because I bought a new one and am trying to put the 180 miles on it to break in the engine.

 

[Blitz24]

ACR Viper Sports hard only added a wing and a Comp. Chip. Car is sliding like mad on Cape Ring but is well worth the excitement it brings.

 

[JohnBM01]

I brought out my 2006 Ford GT. I noted the car was sliding a bit like mad, but that was because the game somehow detected settings from another race I did. I immediately stopped the race at Cape Ring Periphery and changed settings. Then, I lost by seven or ten seconds to ANOTHER Ford GT. After that, it was BEAST MODE for me- Racing Hard tires... ended up winning. Then to show that I won't be upstaged again, I re-did the Cape Ring race and won again. Every other race was won by me in just one try.

 

[SRT4Real]

I ran a fully modded 2003 SRT-4, same as my "real life" car, except the one im my garage doesn't dyno at 613 hp. LOL

Won way too easily at four tracks (need to swap to lesser tires and/or less power) but Daytona was a blast. Ony won that one by 0.191, and it was a real battle in laps 7 and 8.

 

[leepangfu]

Done 2 of them so far. Won the Daytona one in a complete stock Viper ACR. Very easy win. Tried the Cape ring one in a tuned Charger 440 R/T '70 (everything but engine upgrades) but got second place just behind the first place. Should have won but the car needs some tuning to handle better

 

[chug-a-bug]

I won all but two with the Viper ACR the only modification was what I always do with an RWD car and thats fit a customisable LSD and adjust it. Stock tyres, sports hard, I think. Good enjoyable races. The only things to cause trouble was the cape ring because I've never raced it in reverse before and Tokyo because that ones always been been about top end grunt, I think I'll need to fit a chip for that and I've never been much good at it anyway. Daytona was the easiest for me I won by at least half a lap.

Has anyone raced the Eifel track ? Isn't it the same from the GT-R Time Trial ?

Yes, an easy victory as a result first time!

I did the Cape Ring with a chip but it probably wasn't necessary running the almost identical setup (however, no LSD added, 5/3 brake setting and GT Auto Wing with max aero). The car is really rough but it feels incredible to get the handle on the Viper.
