That is irellevant.
Even with 50 hp less, irl a McLaren F1 drives circles around a LP 670 SV.
Hypercar is the term for highly exclusive and expensive automobiles (for example: Aston One-77, Koenigesegg, Lambo Reventon, Bugatti Veyron etc.)
So it has nothing to do with hp, altough most hypercars have a lot of them...
But this is getting off-topic now.
And a Race Modificated car will beat almost any car on a racetrack, thanks to stiffness of the chassis/suspension, tyres and power to weight ratio

Your still wrong IMO.
So a non RM'd car should not be able to win then according to how i read your statement.
Please note the brief for the race is CARS OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE, and that means the very best in my world not half hearted cars or wannabees.
Here you go NO race modification at all and only 250 bhp stills wins the same event [seasonal so on topic] by 10 seconds, proving IMO there is something wrong or PD dont take any care in putting togethere this event.
ps im no expert driver either, canr even get all silver in licence tests yet LOL.

Your a bit mixed up there as both the lamborghini's in the NCD have a significant power advantage over a Mclaren from the NCD the LP 670-4 has over 50 bhp more.
And this below should,nt really happen.
Yes it should, okay 1) Bad AI 2) The lotus can turn circles in ANY of the cars below you, so in a short, tight track a small car (ie Lotus) with mid power can win. Now if in was SS7 you would have no chance. Or at thr ring you would be great in the first half, but in the strightaway that lead you would have just goes away.

Mark, I think it's a well known fact that the AI in GT5 could be a lot better/more aggressive - it's really not worth discussing it anymore.
Nonetheless, without any further background it's difficult to judge your 'accomplishment' here - what kind of tyres did you use, did you update the car besides engine power, did you take any shortcuts?
I think PD is doing the best they can do at the moment. Yes, the AI needs an update, but until that comes having some kind of 'open' events that you can make as easy or hard as you want them to be is nice (and can be rewarding). But even that was already written often enough, so I'll just shut up and enjoy the new Seasonal...

AS stated earlier, elise at 250bhp and sport soft tyres NO racing mod, its not poor AI as i really shouldnt have a chance its bad prgramming of the competition cars IMO. i dont expect in a supercar car race to be up against inferior cars AI excluded as we are all aware of there abilities, and i say again im no pro driver just average joe LOL.
PD arnt doing there best, take GT5P and try some of the manufacture racing they got that right why didnt they use a similar structure.
Thats me done ranting LOL.
Am pleased with the return for running these races (but would love return of bonus races as getting from level 32 to 33 takes forever if you don't have time for endurance races).
I just think it's a bit unimaginative. We have lots of 'supercar' races in A series already. This is really no different to those. Also I would guess that most of us don't own Veyrons, etc. so we've probably played out the fantasy of owning and driving most of the supercars we 'own' already.
The French and K class events were great as I'd never normally think of using those cars. It gave my garage a much needed refresh with more mundane cars, but actually more challenging/rewarding results. The old Renault 5 turbo on stock tyres was so slippy and great fun. Supercars are (to me) just less fun.
So while I'm eternally grateful for PD's continuing support and new events, I just hope each week for something 'different'.

Last night I just picked up a BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97 from the UCD, with 10,000 KM on it. I may have to take it for a long ride today. I used a chunk of cash I was saving for the F1 2007, oh well, 5 hours of this should bring my money back to a cool 12 million.
I keep trying to pick cars to be competitive, only to see the Nissan R390 in pole position...By the time I get to second place it's got an insurmountable lead. So now I have to start it over when I see that...or just slap on some RS tires and grind for $$.

Hey mark2002, have you beaten those other races using the same non RM Elise at 250bhp? Tsukuba is not a power course and we all know it, 300bhp is pretty much the most you can run here unless you are driving all wheel drive. How did you far on Eifel 104A in that Lotus? What super car you know main point is to tackle corners? Most super cars are about going fast in a very short amount of time, sure some have great handling compared to other super cars but they also have to wear high grip tires in order to afford that grip. At first I thought you were beating the crap out of the AI on all the courses only to see you were racing on Tsukuba? Really? Come on now!
I'm using a McLaren F1 tuned to my liking and it's no easy feat to win that Eifel race mind you I am running 627PP and my car is still at stock weight, and if the R390 is in pole position I have to drive the wheels off my car to make it to second place by the end of the 3rd to have any chance of catching it.
By the way mark2002 what is the PP rating of that Lotus you won Tsukuba race with?

Easy $700k. Xp was disappointing but that's expected in seasonals.
Gotta admit tho, it's too easy. They allow too powerful a car--but it's easy money!

I think we're going to see a few giant-killer pics for this one as the only restriction is PP! In which case I'm looking forward to running this with a few competitive supercars to get the wins and cash and then finding the most unlikely winner by tuning the hell out of some wagons, etc!
That's what I will be doing as well. My Jenson comes to mind, as well as a few sedans I have. Got to wait a few more hours though.

No SRF and as stated sport soft tyres [I only use 2 tyres sports soft upto 500bhp and racing soft over 500bhp] abs 1 TC 1 thats all have just won again in the rm'd 96 elise but by on ly 2 seconds.
Racing line on but heres a tip for you go try this with your lotus's just after the main strait you have a series of 4 R/H bends DO NOT follow racing line go wide at the first of the 4 keep full throttle and its one sweep thru all 4 right handers dont lift of the throttle you will gain a fair few seconds on this section alone.
Edit :: ive yet to see the R390 so i asume its like all other races there are sometimes easier and sometimes harder competition on the startline, will try in a more powerfull car see what changes on the startline.
