You are the man! Congrats (especially the part where you beat it on your first try)! I had a hard time doing this one. I kept spinning out and going into the grass (I'm not very good at the 'ring) But persistence paid off!
Don't listen to all the haters there, some of the races are easier for some and hard as hell for others (this was easy for you, hard as hell for me).

First I did the RX7 event which was PURE PAIN !!
I tried all sorts of settings but I could not get any lower then 1.00.6 with no aids on. Wacked on recovery and 59 mids consistent without to much sweat...kinda ruined the challenge but glad I got it over with. Did 5 tries total.
AS FOR THE NASCAR on the RING.
Lol what a blast ! Great combo I would have never came up with.
For those guys struggling here....track knowledge is key. I did well over 2000 laps here mostly in GTR evo and rFactor as I love the track to bits.
Even did about 40 laps in my own car being a modified Honda EP3 ( cant wait for summer lol ) .
Once you know the track you will pass all nordschleife tests with ease with some driving skills but it will take time to be able to master most corners easily with any car and even more time to really be fast after that. ( real thing is another ballgame all together ! )
I used a Fanatec GT3 RS V2 with CSP and no aids and came out first with lots of time to spare with all the above in mind.

Just finished 1st on my first try. Definitely one of the more 'fun' races I've done in a while. Used the #24 IMPALA Jeff Gordon (not that it makes any difference)
6:30.100 on my first lap and 6:31.298 on my second lap
No oil change, 824HP
Settings:
TCS 1
Skid Recovery Off
Active Steering Off
ASM Off
ABS 1
Chassis Reinforcement
Full Downforce
Transmission at 230 (mph)
LSD:
Init Torc: 30
Accel: 60
Braking: 5
Suspension: Stock
Brake Balance: Stock
I imagine this car to be much faster with Skid Recovery turned on with less downforce, though I'm not going to bother trying it since it won't gain me any more XP or Cr. But I did beat the AI by at least 28 seconds.
Note: Used Blitz24's settings but tweaked very slightly for my driving style.

After like 5 restarts, I got 4th with assists. Lost to first by 3 seconds.It hard getting the nascar to follow the road. I think I need the AMG Driving Academy.
Thanks for the setup. After another 4 or so attempt with the setup, I have finally won by 1.5 seconds. Guess I need more practice run at the ring.

Easy, got this in my 2nd try. Just get a lap time of at least 6:50 or less.
The nascar handles much better than most cars on that track >_>

I hate using Skid Recovery, never use anything but ABS 1 normally, but I just want the exp and money from the seasonal events so I have been.
I've managed silver or gold in pretty much everything, and giving it my all with assists on, I only barely managed 9th in this one...

With controller I'm pulling 7min lap time but with a steering wheel i might be able to knock off a few secs but so far....have no clue what i'm doing wrong and thats whats ticking me of, i have faired far better in the other events so far.
Put Skid Recovery on and then lowered the gear ratio to 340km and that was it. I ran a 6:45 then a 6:50 and won by 10 seconds. I found it to be fairly easy (Mainly because of Skid Recovery)
Weird, the AI seems to be better on my side. I ran around 6:45 on both laps, and barely won with a 1.5 seconds lead. Only managed to catch up with the first AI after the long straight in the second lap.

If I would use Skid Recovery Force and Steering Assist like you did then maybe I would consider it easy. But to use the two biggest assists, and then run out and say it was easy, that just doesn't seem right to me....
I'm not trying to come down on you for using assists, but if its so easy, then why not try it without so much help, then start a thread on how easy it was. Like they say on ESPN, "Come on man!"

That's a great setup for a pad user. We just used that and after struggling to get in the top 6 at first, this setup let's you blast around with confidence. Most people around here assume we all use wheels... Anyway, we soon best the field by over 10 seconds after putting a couple of 6m 40'ish second laps.
Guys, I agree that seasonal event difficulty is inconsistent.
This one was one of the easiest (all assists off), but huge fun. The little FIAT gave me much harder time. I'm sure all of you can handle it with some advice and persistance.
If you are interested:
1. ABS 1, all other off
2. Max downforce
3. Very soft setup (spring rates in the region of 9-11).
4. Relatively high ride hight
(The Ring is very bumpy. Soft settings will provide more traction most of the time. Also, much more forgiving for mistakes and kerb friendly. Less bouncing and risk of losing it.)
5. Transmission I think was 350 km/h (220 mph).
6. You should know the track really well (thank you AMG Academy).
7. Don't overpush the car.
8. Stop early enough, this is a heavy beast.
9. Lean on the downforce - a Nascar generates a lot.
10. Overtaking lines are critical. The track is narrow, speeds high.
Good luck.
P.S. With Skid on should be walk in the park, as it gives you bonus traction for the skidding wheels. It encourages bad habits. Don't use it, unless you really can't do it otherwise.
