Anyone tried the Raptor Challenge in GT League yet?

I used to hate the off road tracks in GTS. Maybe it's better with a wheel, but on the Ds4 it just seemed so artificial with the way the car slides around the track. And doing those last few driving school stages in the dirt was nearly as bad as the stop challenges. Needless to say, I didn't have much of a desire to revisit the dirt tracks after the initial impression.

With the recent update came the Raptor Survival. After playing most the day I decided I might as well check out the new content. To my surprise, ripping around the dirt track in the big truck, with 15 other trucks, was a hell of a lot of fun. Obviously it was exceptionally easy to get around beginner Ai, but the way it felt was well beyond what I had played before. If you're looking for a little break from the pavement, try jumping in the truck in GT league, switch to the cabin view and have fun ripping around those other trucks.

One unfortunate discovery I made, however, was that Raptor Survival is the only mode where you can race more than 1 other Ai on a dirt track... What's up with that? I think most of the fun I got out of that GT League event was because there were so many other cars to slip and slide around.
 
It was fun, there should be more of it!

I didn't know you're normally limited to 1 opponent. I've only used the dirt tracks in VR where you can actually keep your eyes on where you are going while drifting. There's only 1 opponent there no matter what race. Well actually there's no opponent as he's not opposing to you driving ahead at all.
 
I had a ball doing this race. I normally avoid the dirt events like the plague, but this combination works really well.
 
The campaign mode has a few other races with multiple cars on a rally track . The first thing I Did with The raptor was go off-road racing . The event was cool bit the AI was garbage . Gt5/6 best AI was in rally mode as it was wicked fast .
 
I'm finding the Ferrari challenge to very difficult. Using a stock Ferrari with no assist but ABS default I cannot for the life of me catch the #1 car.
I have gotten gold in every challenge in GT by using bone stock vehicles. This challenge is on another level than the others.

Which race? I had to do the one at Monza a couple of times because I couldn't catch the P4. Finally did it in a weight reduced 458. The other two races weren't so bad.

Yeah that P4 is impossible to catch without tuning.
 
We were doing Raptor dirt races online in friends lobbies from the first moment the Raptor came out.

Just great great fun !! Nice to see more people discovering this.
