We got another bonus race?

My PS3 is in my bro's room watching a movie so I can't find out for myself.

Edit: Nevermind I found out.

 

[tecknical]

the prize is 2mil credits. That was a welcome bonus especially since I didn't have to buy a DTM to compete in this one

 

[Shinzah]

Was the experience rebalanced to less then normal? :/

 

[cornishbrooksy]

Are any of the listed cars premium??
Also out of them what is the recomended choice to complete this?

If you want a premium car to complete this with, buy the IS-F racing concept in the lexus dealership, it'll be able to enter this race.

 

[Tharain]

I already had the Alfa 155

Did this Event in 11:35 min... easy money

 

[kr0nika]

Even with a stock CLK right from the online dealership, I took first on lap 6. No oil change or anything either. Still, pretty fun drive though...those touring cars handle like a dream.

 

[StevenDunn99]

I had the 190E and Lexus in my garage. I chose the Lexus, a prize car from BSpec, as I had not used it before - with RH tyres. Comfortable win. It would probably be more fun in the 190E as I like that car.

 

[hhhwa]

bought the R8 playstation race car through bordem a few days ago. result.

 

[Cammo1707]

I still had the Audi Touring Car I got in a gift ticket.

I used it to win other events, tuning it a bit, and it smashed the competition here. Lovely, 2mil for 0 extra expense.

190E stock with RH should be interesting. I did stage 2 and lead before the start of the last lap.

What tires would You guys suggest to make it challenging? I already own an Audi TT DTM, but I got it a lot earlier - before the DTC event so i tuned it up to 635 hp. And i dont fancy driving by myself through 6 or 7 laps.

What is Your suggestion guys?

635hp is enough power to lead to a lonely race for 3 or 4 laps if you use RH or better. But if you use SS or higher, you're going to have a rather touch time keeping it on track.

Strip some turbos off to get it back to 500ish.

 

[Washout]

Boring event lol..already had the TT touring car in my garage, I lapped the entire field on the last corner. I do like the 2 mil credits though

 

[Knelly]

Perfectly apt right now. Behind NASCAR, DTM is my favourite series and am currently half way through the Nurburgring Round 5 Event from 2010 (rewatching last years races). Only half way through as fell asleep so racing in what I am actually watching at the same time ...... AWSOME 👍

 

[35mm]

Not sure what car to buy for this...

The 190E and the 155 would be the only ones I'd be interested in buying, but the odds of finding either one on time are low.

Also, I don't feel like spending 750.000Cr on the Lexus, since it's a prize car (much) latter on B-Spec...

Ok so Youre suggesting that 500hp and R tires would be fun? Have You done it?

 

[FLX1981]

Am I the only one thats quite disappointed in this? I mean thats almost 100% the same race as in the expert DTM championship. Come on, PD at least TRY to be a bit creative... 👎

 

[Ritterkreuz]

Loved that I got to use my BMW again. All I had to do was hope in the car and go, so the 2 mil credits was ALL BONUS for me.

 

[krioto]

I love the DTM cars so am looking forward to this race (even if it is a straight copy of the race in a-spec). I've got all the DTM cars except the Merc 190, which happens to be the one that is not in the online dealership!

 

[Man Turismo]

Can you get the money more than once?

 

[bartosz988]

Can you get the money more than once?

The most You can get out of a special event is the sum of all placing prizes. You can do the race more than once of course but You'll gain extra $ and exp only if You improve your last result

 

[kmg43]

Now I am so pleased that these are my favorite cars, and that I have been collecting them for weeks. I did not spend a penny to win this race because I have been using these cars to learn the Nordschleife (at 100K a race in A/B Spec Extreme), so they have been paying for themselves really.
And, as a real bonus, I can complete my collection with the Online Dealership with the money I just won. Perfect!

Everyone who is not already driving these cars should expect to fall in love with them during this event. Oh the handling!

oh thank god. I thought it was 8 laps around the entire 'Ring'.

 

[Samus]

I'm all for leaving these open so people can upgrade to a win as they desire, but this one is far too easy bone stock.

I used the 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car, totally untouched on hard tyres and needing an oil change. I was 10 seconds or more a lap quicker and won by 20 seconds.

 

[starcarper]

I found this a really fun race with standard A4 Touring car in stock condition. I even had a little spin on very 1st corner which made it an even better race.

 

[zippy_the_cat]

It's not like the A Spec German Touring Car races are all that competitive either. The AI just doesn't seem to get more than about 60 percent of these cars' potential out of them. The seasonal misses the door-banging aspect of the DTM but the chase format does create more suspense.

 

[Wedge598]

I liked this race but was somewhat disappointed as it's pretty much the exact same race you run the Extreme DTM series. The difference is obviously a staggered start but the cars are all the same. I won the Extreme event with a stock Lexus and used the same car for this event and placed 2nd in first try. I should be able to win it with the stock car I hope.

The Lexus is a ton of fun to drive so I don't mind the chance to use it again but I would have liked to see a different track. In A spec the Monaco try is criminally underused. I'm glad one of the seasonal events this week used it but we need to see it more often.

 

[Gudi]

Had the Audi Abt and won BIG TIME - hmmm... Gonna try it with the A4 Touring and BMW GTR aswell - just to compare times and results... Nice with 2 mill though

Eventhough gearing should changed i choose to drive booth cars completely standard. Changed oil on both though.
Audi Abt 1.31.004 (Seemed alot faster in general)
Audi A4 1.31.611 (Had alot of understeer)
CLK 1.29.something (Was easily doing 1.30)
BMW still to come

Anyone else?
