As most of you know, I like to try cars that most people don't try or own. Three more cars I tried and won with were:

WSR 1983 Ayrton Senna (110 hp :lol:)
Nissan Bluebird Rally Car (510) '69 (476 PP)
Lamborghini Diablo GT2 '98

It's tough finding a car for these 500PP race car events. I'm not much for power de-tuning more than 90%, so that basically leaves me with the Silvia Spec-R, Elise Race Car, Ferrari GTO, Alfa TZ2, and Corvette StingRay Concept. Everything else in my garage is less than 475PP and I like to run stock as much as possible. Just purchased the Integra Type R Tourer, so maybe that'll do the trick. Otherwise fun race so far with the Ferrari and a second place.
 
easy wins with my Toyota RSC Rally raid and the trusty Lotus Elise 111R race car.I actually had the trans set at 124mph from when I used it on another seasonal and it was comical..I'd redline on the long straights but it would climb the hills like a goat
 
My Celica ST205 WRC handles this easily. it's basically a detuned version of my best attempt at replicating the real one's super cheaty restrictor plate/turbo. It's got 330hp for 500pp (normally 354hp) but is otherwise very close to stock. The car is amazingly docile even on the downgraded tyres I use (SS to SM). I ended up catching the rabbit with a lap to spare, spinning out due to distracted driving, and then re-catching him in the next turn. Now I remember why I loved this thing.

Care to share your tune for this? Thanks!

Try the Razo West Silvia '01 it is only 90000CR

In the case of this track, I literally just run the suspension and transmission stock. (And I never touch the differential anyway, because, quite frankly, I don't know how to tune it.) You could probably shorten the final drive a little, but it's really not necessary. The only real tweak is the Low-RPM Turbocharger and an oil change, with power limiter set to exactly 330hp.

The ST205 is such a great car to begin with. Doesn't need a whole lot of work to be amazingly competitive.
 
A narrow win over the Megane Trophy/AMG Evo Mercedes rabbits with a stock Suzuki SX4 WRC. Was fun to throw it round the corners. Lacks in top speed vs. the rabbits but has very much grip in corners to compensate.
 
the Megane Trophy as a rabbit is quite difficult as it has some power, the w190 2.3 AMG not so much... the little 4 cyl just doesnt have enough speed for what is a pretty fast track with long straights
 
Lancia Delta S4 made this a very enjoyable if somewhat easy race.

Remember to balance the car or you'll end up facing the way you came when you hit the brakes! :)
 
I'm not very familiar with this track, but my Mazda Roadster TC with Prariano's tune is really grippy, which makes it perfect for all the weird, off-camber funky curves. Good for a two-second+ victory over the Pugeot RC. 👍
 
I really enjoy this circuit; it has crests and turns preceding fast sections that are quite interesting and rewarding, and remind me of Oregon Raceway Park and The Ridge, tracks where I faced similar problems in my kart.

I've tried several cars FTW here at Matterhorn Dristelen. My '06 RE Anemiya RX-7 base is easiest to hold on the line due to its massive downforce. However, the Lotus Elise Race Car '04 gets me the quickest lap times due to higher top speeds. There are several setups out there for this car that get the job done, but I think there is some untapped potential remaining to be found.
 
The Mitsubishi Pajero 85 is a lot faster than you would expect, and much fun. I liked the Senna f-3 because its full throttle flat out from before start-finish all the way to the top of the hill. But you should try the Ferrari 330 P-4. 👍

I was shocked at the times I had with the Pajero when I raced it yesterday. I only raced it twice and guessed at a setup... So I KNOW the Pajero can go much faster (with a good tune) than what my time shows.

Beat my rabbit (NSX LM Race Car '91) with my own detuned one. Took over at the end of the fourth, then rubberband mode was activated. Finished 1.17 seconds ahead.
 
Very gentle and non stressful way to get 300,000 credits in under 6 and a half minutes

I think if they focussd on making these seasonals like this and not punishing like the Monaco expert then people would be happier.
 
The furia or whatever that Mazda is called is pretty fast here, think I was running 1.05's, it's not the best acceleration wise. Wish my nascar could get down to 500pp, only goes down to 540 or so.

I would be very disappointed if the expert seasonal became any easier, we have the three levels of difficulty for a good reason and I hope it stays that way. The current expert race and the previous one were very enjoyable to do. 👍

As for this intermediate race, I have so far done it with the 'Calibra Touring Car' and the 'RS200 Rally Car', for both cars it was simple yet fun wins. :D
 
Used my Integra-R and had a great last lap battle with the Merc 190. I always use tires a compound less than the maximum allowable, but couldn't quite get the checkers with SS tires and 477PP.
 
Fun race in a stock Alfa Romeo GIULIA TZ2. And it looks great too!

That was the first car I tried for this event (totally stock) and it felt like it was born for the Matterhorn. Easy win.

Less grip but just as fun the RS200. Never disappoints and larger gap win than the Alfa.

The Subaru Impreza GT300 08 was another win but a bit dull to drive.

Looks like a Yorkie Bar but a nice fun drive and really easy win is the Toyota Altezza touring car.
