Thanx for the overview Steven 👍

 

[gambleboyen]

how many laps of each race?

 

[VBR]

That is so lame! I only like racing online, I've given up on the offline game cos it's boring me to death & I was relying on the Seasonal Events to get money for cars.


PD Fail, Number: 2,547,638!

Please discuss the event contents elsewhere. I just want to have an easy summary for everyone to refer to and not a locked out thread which I cannot update later.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Unless someone can dupe a F1 for me, these are pretty meaningless events for me. But thanks for the information Steven

 

[FishforRent]

Thanks for the summary SD! 👍

*has a reason to buy an F1 car now*

 

[brambos]

Excellent work. Looks like these are great events for people just starting their career in GT5.

I remember having to sell my first prize cars for peanuts to be able to afford the cars I needed to enter certain events, or to buy better tyres. That's not necessary anymore for the lucky guys starting now!

Been doing that for the past hour or so getting bored now tuned my F10 to perfection too. If you average about 2:30 a lap you can do it under 15 minutes roughly.👍

 

[HONDAndy]

uurgh was hoping they paid once at a mil. or so after having just seen an nsx in UCD that I need 1 mil. more to afford!!

Thanks for posting this info. up anyway

The XP payout is quite good for the Ferrari events: about 2200-2300 xp/min, actually more than all the endurance races bar the 24h ones.

Too bad PD didn't put the Nordschleife in the track selection, that would have been a wonderful event to grind...

 

[Jack002]

Thanks, OP updated. 👍

You did? Steven, if you would, could you replace "FFC" with "Ferrari Formula Challenge"?

Thanks.

 

[dynasty_dennis]

Excellent, thanks for the info ! This is exactly what I have been waiting for !

 

[tezster]

Thanks OP! 👍

I'm hoping the FFC is not any more difficult than the FGT championship races i.e. not too difficult.

 

[tw99]

Great job!

 

[Thomas K]

Can i grind the F1 challenge in these races (SE) ???
Tyvm

 

[Picnic]

Thanks OP! 👍

I'm hoping the FFC is not any more difficult than the FGT championship races i.e. not too difficult.

I found the cars much more fun to drive and easier to control, it shouldn't be as difficult as FGT.

Can't speak for the F10, but the F2007 is pure driving bliss. Even without aids it's really easy to control, and the Ferrari races are rather easy.

 

[F1Addict]

Can't wait to do the Ferrari races. Do all these races give rewards every time you finish it or is it just the first time?

Every time you race you get the rewards, but just for the place you get.

 

[playerslayer213]

Anyone have an average completion time for the Ferrari races? The XP and Credits might make it worth grinding depending on the time. Like The Wind gets old.

 

[SmokingCones]

Roughly 13' for Tokyo, 15'30 for Nürburgring GP, 12'30 for Indy Road Course.

If you had read the posts before you would have noted I mentioned you can average just under 15 minutes at roughly 2:30 a lap on the nurb.
Can anyone confirm which is faster out of thw two F1 cars?
Been trying to see how fast i can go around Tokyo...

I know how you feel. I clearly stated that the awards were repeatable but still people ask.

 

[MaverickCOD4]

Finally a reason to pull my favourite car out of the garage...wow. I was getting tired of doing TT's in arcade mode. Sweet! 👍

What's the XP for Dream Car per minute?
