Please bear with me as this may get a little long winded.
Long story short, I have been reinvigorated to chase the Platinum trophy on PS4 for the game. I have finished the career and all the drift and races in Special Events with Gold. BTW which excludes all the add on pack cars.
I am now slowly working through the Hot Lap events and have some questions and observations.
With the Special Events are the Physics/Tyre model changed with each update or has each event retained the original physics it was designed for? I know that Kunos are updating the tyre physics on some cars and are supposed to have all the cars done with the next big update later this month.
The reason I ask is that some events have deleted my 1.13 update setups while other older tunes the brakes don’t work. Also some events I have found nearly impossible to do while others are a breeze.
I have concentrated on the same track and worked through the cars for that track. Example: Monza 1966 GT40, Miura and Lotus 25. After knocking my brains out with the GT40 over two nights and only getting bronze I swapped back to the Lotus 25 (which I already had bronze in). It took 5 laps and I nailed the Gold, relatively easy, I thought. So I swapped to the Miura thinking it would be hard. First lap ran wide last turn. Restart, second lap same, ran wide at last turn. Restart, nailed last turn beat event Gold by nearly 2 seconds!!!! This was a genuine WTF moment. So fully pumped I hopped back in the GT40, 6 laps later still struggling to get the Bronze time.
So I then moved on to the next track, Vallelunga. Two nights with the BMW 1M stage3 in the “Meet the AC Team” event and finally nailed the Gold. So I swapped to the easy to drive McLaren MP4 12C GT3 in the Thunder event. I am down to 1:40s and I need 1:38 to even get Bronze little alone 1:35 for Gold. BTW I am using the actual Kunos suggested tune from the career event for this track. I cannot see where I can take 5secs+ out of this time. I should add that I am about the same with BMW Z4 GT3 at imola. I just can’t beat the Bronze time even using some of the well-known tuners set ups of the net.
So what gives here? I think I have demonstrated that I can drive and do know my way around these tracks. So why do I breeze some events and struggle so badly with others? What am I missing here? Or has Kunos with the updates really screwed with these events?
I would ask that before anyone answers me here they actually drive the GT40 at Monza 1966 Special event and the McLaren MP4 12C at Vallelunga.
Cheers

well deserved and expected from you!
Occasionally, some people would gripe about it and then after a while we'd get a confirmation from a Dev that they'd look into it and make adjustments in due time. So, my only advice is to keep asking for the Career & Special Event times to be re-adjusted over on the official forums. If you do it politely, they have no choice but to respond and acknowledge that something must be done on the console side.
