I have to say, I'm a big fan of Mt. Aso tracks, but this one was just awful. Of course I realized quickly that last turn was chosen most deliberately. LOL But really, I've dashed off better Mt. Aso tracks before breakfast.

Thanks guys. I finally golded em all! Really appreciate the help
I'm sorry, but if those Toyotas aren't a prime example of Japanese bias in this game, I don't know what is. (Maybe the 500 GT-Rs is a better example). I have tried everything but strapping a rocket to my lightning at Suzuka. In reality, I would line up a Ford Lightning against an Toyota truck.

Tried the midget on the ring twice. Best result was 5th if i remember correctly.
Able to catch the Chevrolet trucks and pass one on the last corner before the long straight. Passed a couple on the final turns.
Might be able to snatch 3rd if I try again. But not able to catch the leaders.
The AI are not bone stock but heavily mod to about 470 pp
That's why they outclass the Ford lightning. Try a stock Tacoma (about 406pp) and you'll realize PD is quite fair. A 470pp tacoma and 470pp lightning is a close match.
Any sports truck except a midget mod to max pp can win the seasonal. At Suzuka, try with srf if it proves too challenging.

All correct, as I'm sure has been said elsewhere, you can see the exact PP eack opponent runs at via the button on the front menu for any Seasonal.
The Tacomas run at a far higher PP than the rest of the field. So I took one of my own, stripped it, did the suspension, drivetrain, transmission and added an exhaust for sound effects. Runs very nicely at the 'Ring, should be good for Suzuka as well, with only ABS 1 👍

I couldn't win Rome with anything.....the closest I got was 3rd by 10 seconds in an SSR....then I tried a tuned Ram with stage 2 weight reduction and Destroyed the Tacomas....passed them both at the start of 4th lap and won by 12 seconds.
Yep, So if your like me and you were getting annoyed with this event the answer is simple....fully tuned Ram.... I blew through every race without breaking a sweat, the only tweak I made was setting top speed at 145 for Nurburgring.

Try an ballast to get a better weight distribution, more car-like. Then tune like a car. I had some success with the Ford F150 and Chev SSR but they have to be tuned to the max, don't bother trying for a PP bonus. Was able to pass the lead Tacoma at the head of the long straight at N'Ring.

Shaving off PP is doable at Indy. Forget about it at The Ring.

Which truck to use for Nordschleife?
I use the taco at the mo, its the lightest and nippy round the bends, but i just cannot do the Nurberg with it!

I used a Ford Lightning with only upgrades to get me close to the PP limit. exhaust, chip, oil change, etc. No tuning needed. I won all 5 this way though a couple came down to the wire.
Regarding the difficulty some folks seem to be having with the ring, consider NOT gearing for the final long straight and instead gear for the few intermediate straights and pass the tacos around the carousel. I was bouncing off the limiter at 135mph on the long straight, and the tacos only gained 1 second between the initial timing mark and the final timing mark, so I didn't have to worry about blocking.
I was running the Dodge Laramie at 464pp
