It's already been said in this thread but it needs to be said many more times. PD cannot win when it comes to the difficulty of the races. Some less skilled players are thrilled with the ability to overpower these races to help them advance through the levels, and some skilled players will want much more of a challenge.
I am in the middle, and while I really enjoyed the challenge of the first set of seaonal races, which I was able to gold every one of before the tuning restrictions were removed, the second set was a little beyond my abilities. Golded two but the other 3 I just couldn't get higher than silver, so I was happy when the restrictions were removed and I proceeded to give myself a slight HP boost to make it a little easier for me to accomplish.
I also find it endlessly hilarious how many people are going crazy over the fact that they put one set of what are essentially freebies, and instantly declare "SEASONAL EVENTS OFFICIALLY RUINED" and blah blah bah. People are simply looking for things to bitch about, that has been plainly obvious since launch day. I am very curious to see what the next round of events will be like come the 11th or 12th (can't remember), if they are simply another set of freebies I will be a bit disappointed yes, but they will also continue to get me to buy some very interesting cars I wouldn't have bought on my own, advance my level, and give me a bunch of credits to do with what I will.
