Do you have any tips or tricks to win the new Time Trials? Im always a couple hundredths from gold, and just cant get it right! What cars should I use at 500PP American and 600PP?
I used the Shelby Supercharged for both. Didn't even tune it - just add a little more grunt for the second one. Its a bit twitchy but gets the job done easy enough - good luck.
Or you could think outside the box.. I have a feeling PD made an error and forgot to allow only street cars, as the Sports Hard tire restriction would suggest.
For Cape Ring I used the Ford GT no stripe. I preferred its handling over the other muscle cars. It needed heavy detuning and a new gearbox to get most out of the lower power.
As I am not a muscle car fan I decided to go with the easy/easier win.
For Suzuka I used my mint condition R33 TC (DLC), glad that I could finally use it in one of the seasonals.
It is probably not the easiest car to gold Suzuka in, as it has the tendency to understeer, but it was fun.

I think you're not talking about the same as the OP. First of all, this is an event for American cars, not japanese. And second, there's no such thing as a R33 TC in the game, only a R35 Touring Car.
I just got GOLD at both events using the Camaro SS10 in Cape Ring and the Ford GT Test Car in Suzuka. Its nice that I had cleared Gold 2 seconds faster.
So far, I'm seeing the Top Online Rankings, people use the SS10 and 2J Race Car for the fastest possible finish.
if you don't have that car, you should put some credits aside to buy the 2J whenever it pops up - think it was around 12.5mil cr. also save money for the
- Nissan R390 road car,
- Honda NSX LM prototype road car
- Suzuki GSX-R4.
all those cars are OP cars for some, but can be very usefull in many situations, esp with dumb bobs in B-spec seasonals or if you want to have a remote chance at the leaderboards in time trials
Hmm, I haven't tried yet, but can a Saleen S7 be detuned enough to be effective at 500pp? I haven't seen any in the leaderboard list, so I assume it's not the fastest choice or it cannot be entered? Anyone try yet?

It is always good to be double checked, but it would be kinda weird if I golded the event in a car that didn't exist and if it existed wouldn't be eligible to enter
As has been said in another post, it is the DLC Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 Touring Car
I used the tuner subaru impreza, can't think of the correct name for it at the moment, for Suzuka. Got a 2:15.7xx in only 3 laps, so I would suggest it for those using a DS3 and find the non 4WD cars hard to drive with SH tires.

this forum sucks.
I used the '06 Z06 because I found that when tuned to 500pp its power to weight ratio was better than the camaro SS, which was the popular choice for the leaderboard. Also, imo, it is a very tunable car.
And even though I don't agree with the concept, I find that if one does the engine tuning then the power limiter, one can get an extra hundred torques.
I have golded with Camaro SS 10, Shelby, and Saleen S7. But just barely for all of them. Best time is still only 3:01.169
I think it is a good challenge, and I despise those show-offs who claim it is too easy. Some of us don't have 10 hours a week to drive. And if it is really easy, do it in a slower car.
FYI there are also R32 TC and R34 TC
