I just tried to enter this event, but it won't let me! The game shows zero eligible cars. I have a few hundred cars and many of them are below 500PP, but whatever I select it won't let me in. Has anyone else had this problem or anyone know of a solution?

Ridiculous as it sounds this is the most satisfying result I've had in the game for ages. Trying to work out how to get this thing round the track reasonably quickly has been quite an adventure. If anyone wants to have a go I am willing to share my tune. (That will be a first)
Power Limiter to 500PP
BB 0/10
TCS 1, ABS 1, SRF on.
Trying to get it to turn was the biggest problem. The front wheels are virtually useless. I tried using the handbrake but my skills are not really up to it so ended up just using it at the final chicane. Blanchiment can be taken quicker by putting two wheels on the grass for the turn-in to get some extra rotation. Other than that it was just brake early and hard all the way up to the apex. On the up side it's impossible to spin out.
If someone told me two weeks ago I'd spend most of my time driving the Tank in the next set of seasonals I'd have thought them mad. Well done Jay for creating a truly awful but compelling car.

I finally tried it with my RS6 (sedan).
First time around, I was really babying it. Didn't go too well:
So I retried and drove more aggressively. (Also adjusted the brake bias to 4/6.) It turned out much better:
Though that time wouldn't have been good enough for 1st in my first attempt, but I guess the F40 was acting as a more effective roadblock on my second attempt.

If it makes you feel any better, I find the stock BTR to be undrivable in the dry.My current BTR tune is pretty much undriveable in the rain.

Race is way too easy. finished with over 30 second lead in a stock Range Rover Evoque. done that about 5 times and moved on to a stock TVR V8S and that was just as easy. tried a number of other cars and same story.
I'm by no means an expert racer but anyone who's struggled with this needs some more practice lol

I think a lot of people that are difficulty with this race are running with zero aids. With aids I am very fast at this event, without aids it took almost everything I could do to win with stock yellow bird. (I think I even used abs on one for that)

Strange, i'm a novice racer at best and found it very easy. the first time i raced it with the Evoque got penalised twice for ramming while breaking coming up to a corner/bend because i couldn't see the track or cars in front due to the spray and still won.
To be a bit more detailed. i struggled to get to the front of the pack but when i did the pack fell away very quickly.
There are cars this challenge can be won easily with with abs only but some people trying in the tank car or other vehicles I'd imagine it would be extremely difficult. With aids I have been but under 8:20, with abs only I'm much slower, but still beat competition with ease. I think some people (me included) had difficulty with this race with stock yellow bird ran it specifically because it's difficult. If you can smoke the competition the 100% stock and power limited to 500pp that's a decent accomplishment. Normally I can run fast in this game, and I found the stock yellow bird uncooperative here.
As for ramming the competition, for some reason every car I run here starts with the high beam headlights on. (The brights) In a foggy or heavy spray condition it's much harder to see with brights on. The first thing I do when starting this race is turn on the low beam headlights it's much easier to see cars through the water spraying from behind cars

Thanks for having a go an sharing your tune (Why can't we tune it fully?)
I'll definitely be giving it a go.
I think it's always been like this. At some tracks like the nurburgring low beams help a lot. I went to the game options and remapped the high beam/low beam to triangle button, I think you can assign it whatever button you want. I use the left joystick for steering, and I don't want to have to click it down while controlling steering.

The difficulty of this event is greatly increased with the use of rear wheel drive cars (compared to using AWD vehicles). And, as always, if you're using driving aids but finding the event "easy", then turn them off.
Personally, I've had a lot of fun with this event. Normally, I don't enjoy driving in the rain that much, but I think because it's Spa that I haven't really minded it much. I don't mind admitting that I've struggled a bit with some rear wheel drive cars. Using the Yellowbird, for instance, with no driving aids (even ABS turned off) was a mighty struggle for me. I tend to have a heavy right foot.
