Time to start buying duplicate cars for chassis reinforcements on the cars could use them.

Ha ha ha! I'm in the same boat. Lots of cars in the stockyard, always hitting the 50K ceiling...

I have spent a bit over a million credits to collect 4 of buckets of paint. Only thing is I have a pile of cars to run here & haven't gotten to the majority of them. This is one of the best money give aways they have had in a while. Hard to spend it fast enough.

Despite being short wheelbase, RWD, and light, my Elise carves this event up like a Christmas turkey! Even with the paltry 137 mph top speed on the straight, nothing is a match for it in the corners! Beyond that, it's just a joy to drive here. Color me surprised.

Whoa! 8:30.198 in an Elise '11 is sick!!Despite being short wheelbase, RWD, and light, my Elise carves this event up like a Christmas turkey!

I took mine out earlier and came in 2nd place. I need to adjust the tune for this weather. You must have fabulous control of that car. I was sliding around a lot in mine. No way could I get 8:30.198 even on a perfect run. Not a chance.

Randomly bought an RX7 and tuned it to only 450pp to see if I could win and luckily I did but I may of had to divebomb the F40 on the final corner and just avoided contact. Sorry for the quality I didn't realise it was that bad.

Are you running flat floors? My 11 elise is hitting 152 on the long straight.

I should have driven the Range Rover Evoque first!
I turned in my best performance in it and was up against the R390. I did one lap at 2:47 with an overall time of 8:54, 4 seconds better than with the CTR2. Also, my lap times were very consistent. I think my first lap was 2:49, then second was 2:48 and my last lap was 2:47 and change.
I tried a few other AWD cars and 2:49 was my best lap, with more laps into the 2:54 to 3:04 time. The right tune could have helped on these others, but not much in the way of changes to the Range Rover and it screams with a top speed on the straight of 152 mph.

I'm not running the flat floors as it slows the car down. I just added weight to mine to increase power. With every weight reduction I get about 3.10 kg/hp at 500pp. If I add ballast to make cat weigh around 900 kg I get about 2.82 kg/hp at 500pp. It seems like the light cars get much better power to weight ratio with a certain amount a ballast added. Most of my cars make the best power to weight ratio at approximately 908 kg.

I have a thing for cornering, so I'll give up power and top speed to make the car corner better because of light weight. It's why I own a Lotus in real life.

Won this with the Subaru S206 NBR Challenge Package with the aero attachment and computer chip added. Fun race and time to try a different drivetrain. Now that the Seasonals have been extended it gives me more time to try more of the cars I've amassed over the last two years.
Interesting to note that when the tires slip they sound as if they're slipping on dry pavement.

I tried running the lotus as light as possible and the handling was exceptional, the times were similar to when it was heavier. I was surprised I still hit about 145 on the big straight, but I go about 125 through that uphill turn leading into the big straight.

Quite enjoying this race. This effort was using @Ridox2JZGTE tune - I softened the springs and a couple of other settings bit.
The only real drama was a few sideways entries and I had to settle the weight before hitting the power on exit. Good fun.

*looking at second place* The CTR "Yellow Bird"???? In the RAIN?!?!?! LOL!!! You would have to be nuts to drive that thing through spit on the ground.
As for the GSX-R/4. I forgot all about that car. I've been using a '13??? Subaru STI hatchback. I've been winning by good margins but haven't really paid attention to my total time. Been after the $$$.

Enjoying this event almost as much as the
A-spec Expert Level European Hot Hatch Race: Circuito de Madrid / Reverse from March.
Used all drive trains and multiple cars to get the win. Yellow Bird was the hardest although detuning it to 475 made it slightly more controllable and gave a bigger winning margin, doing this also makes the Muscle cars easier to control as well. I've also managed to win it in the Ford SVT F-150.
This is a fun Expert event which can be won in so many cars

Besides the Yellow Bird i also tried lots of cars, like the RX-7, RX-8 Concept, Dome Zero, DMC Delorean, Shelby Series 1, Daihatsu OFC, and many i can't remember.
Every car was tuned all the way to 500 PP (so i can go for fastest laps)
The fastest in the straights was the Dome Zero (reached 260 km), the hardest was the Daihatsu OFC (TOO SLOW), and my fastest times achieved with the RX-8 Concept (fastest one was 2:40:578... very good car).
The RX-7 is surprisingly much slower than the RX-8... the Shelby is just as fast as the RX-8, and the DMC is kinda "normal".
I'll keep testing cars since it will be a while until the next seasonal. Maybe i'll try the hardest cars now (Alpine A310, the Tank Car, a Ferrari F40/GTO or something like this)

I found the F40 a bit easier than the Yellow Bird. Of course it's tail-happy but at least you're in with a fighting chance of catching it if it does let go. I think it's probably easier to drive limited to 500PP than it is at full power. Won against a Zonda with a total time of 9:04 and BL around 2:50, stock except the power limiter, just abs1 and of course all clean and within track boundaries.
Also won in a stock 512 BB which was immensely enjoyable. It's so easy to slide around after the F40 that it's a bit too tempting to push it to, and beyond its limits. I did find myself going backwards at 100mph exiting Blanchiment on one occasion. Straight down the middle of the track too. I briefly toyed with the idea of trying to make it to the chicane before turning round but that didn't quite work out.
Lowest PP 2WD car I've found that can win is a stock Elise 111R at 440PP, and 4WD the Ford RS200 at 432PP, both great fun. A stock Dino comes pretty close too, it's just a bit too slow. Its big brother the GTO should be a doddle. Tank Car? I think that's a bit optimistic.
