Won this with a Cappuccino (EA21R) on CS tires. It had a tune but don't know who's. Back to 50 mil credits with nothing to buy or want. I had that before the last races so I went and bout about 1 mil worth of cars for paint chips. I have all the cars I ever wanted thanks to the early money glitch. So I'm off to preach again. See ya'll maybe when the next set of seasonals come out.
 
One requirement for this race is the car has to be under 4200 in. That is 350 feet. Even in cm that's a big big number.
 
Why not try the Honda fit? Lol

Actually so far I've won it with the fiat 500 '68 modded and the Toyota 2000gt but there are so many cars that can get a run out for this that haven't been fast enough for much else so I'm happy with grinding this event some and trying them out.

My only complaint is the 2 week time limit in use all the time.
 
The fun here was betting my neices and nephews their halloween candy if I could win after being lapped. Even then it was easy. None of them would take the bet anyway.

Then I let them all race it. Never thought it would be possible to win at Tsukuba with 1:30s, but it is. They could race and win, I get easy credits. It reminded me of B-Spec with more laughs.
 
I used a Suzuki Cappuccino for this and for the night SSR5 race. Only took one try for each race. Cappuccino against Ferrari, Lamborghini, Viper... I wonder what other cars could do both.

Absolutely love this race,as @nowcontrol points out theres 295 cars to try out,enough to keep anyone busy for a while:)
To make it a bit more interesting,i've been running everything stock with all aids off and TC and ABS at zero(I usually run just ABS at 1).
Its been such a blast that i've started to run all my cars at ABS 0 on all events with varying degrees of success and the game seems to have come alive,the cars handle so much better and my driving has gotten a lot smoother-well most of the time :lol:
These seasonals and the previous Nurburgring challenge have been a real shot in the arm for GT6-more of the same please 👍
 
Like it! I like that Sunday Cup-again feeling it evokes. Except it's a seasonal, so there's a point ;)

Fav car so far Honda Beat.

Best times so far in the 9.5XX with the Fit, Civic Type R '97 and Abarth 500 all at circa 390PP, CS. Fit is tuned others have standard suspension and dif.

First time out I used a stock CR-Z, my road car, found it had CM as standard. Never noticed before! Easy getting to the lead but an eye kept on Mr Turbo 207 on the back straight.

Agree this is a great choice as the Nurburgring and Deep Forest races were previous. Nice work PD
 
Tried all sorts in this one and had a blast. The more unlikely , the better. My favourite so far is a little Autobianchi wagon type thing. Have a fine stable of #$%*boxes now. Lots more fun than the Ferrari race.

This is a fun seasonal.So many options. Won it with an almost stock (suspension tune) Datsun 510 and a Peugeot 106 Rallye. I'll go smaller tomorrow.
 
Well just to stir the pot a bit, the 250 GT SWB does make the cut at 51.8% with all the weight reduction. If one really wants to race a Ferrari that badly. If you already have it in your stable why not?
You can go to almost 60% if she hasn't been put on a diet. I'm not sure how much those change depending on an oil change.

PS: You may have paid 7.5 million for it but, old gal came riding on comfort soft tires.

Drats just raced it & was already maxed out at 50 million, should have changed profiles.

I get "no access to search". Even if I registerred and logged in.
You know what happens is, his search parameters can't go through with a copy and paste to you, or me or anyone else. They must be just temporary data on HIS web browser. What YOU can do, however, is click Search Cars (left hand side) and then enter 4200 in the box underneath the word "Length". Then select the drop-down box next to that and select the "<=" sign so it will find you cars that are less than or equal to 4200mm. Then push the Search button up top. After you do this, poke around on the main Search Cars page. You'll be blown away at how detailed you can make your searches. I absolutely love GTData.net. I wish I knew who ran that site so I could say "Thank you!" to him/her.
 
@Akvarius .. To search the cars eligible for this event, do as @ALB123 said, but you will also need to select 'FALSE' for Tuner & Race in their Categorization dropboxes to get the correct list.

It is a bugger that we cannot copy and paste the search into a link, I did not realize until a few hours after posting that link. :indiff:
 
Ahhh..I was wondering how you were getting a list of only 295 cars, @nowcontrol... I put FALSE for RACE, but I forgot to exclude TUNER cars. What an awesome website. I love it...love it...love it!!
 
I think the search id number in the address bar is just a counter for how many times the function has been used rather than ever being specific to the search choices, which is why we cannot copy & paste to link & share.

I think maybe it would be a whole lot of bloody hard work for the programmer to assign every possible combination of choices their are each with a number, just seeing the amount of choices makes my mind boggle trying to imagine how many combinations are possible. :boggled: :crazy:

Yup. "car_search_results.php?search_id=73767" <--- the bold number is just a counter. I did three searches in a row and had 73765, 73766 and finally 73767, but it's not the same as sharing the URL of a Google search, for example. You're totally right... :)

Live B-Spec! Love it! :lol:
 
may have found the king of this race......Tommy Kiara zzs....thing does 1.04 laps with a decent tune, super cool car....try it, its a buzz to drive. Cant quite get to lapping the backmarkers, but can get to within 15 secs of them.
 
Ran a few more races with a City Turbo, NC Miata, Peugeot 207 GTi, Fiat Abarth 500, and my slippery MR2. Fun!
 
:cool: Audi TT Quatro 3.2 easy gold, all settings STOCK except oil change, brakes(std) 8/7 and power 70.2%, this includes the Comfort Soft tyres it's wearing when you buy it! :D
 
Abarth Grande Punto '09. Absolutely stock, not even an oil change. 376PP. Quite pleased with myself :D
