    you can use the F1 cars for this and you’ll have a killer hard race.
    Tune to 750 pp lotta sound not a lot of fury.

    I wish that the weather in all those events changed, the 5 th event says time and weather change but it never happens. And it should rain when ur driving a cabriolet cuz I want to c if the car gets filled up or not.

    1. blackninja

      Zman, I don’t think the cars gets filled up, just look at the real F1 races, I have never seen a F1 cockpit filled with water, they have holes underneath to prevent that

    I love this events….I can finally use my peugeot lol….I have an average finish by 7-10 seconds ahead of the pack. It was pretty challenging but it was fun….

    1. stjimmy

      Used my 787B stealth and finished 2nd after spinning out twice, 2.2 seconds behind minolta. can easily win with this car. (standard 787B would be just as good, only 8 bhp less than the stealth model).

  4. junkman101

    good set of races, would be even better if they came in a championship option which would give u a race card for a new car

    1. stjimmy

      You can only spend 20,000,000 credits. Once you’ve spent that, you can start saving again. What’s the problem?

    2. ripped

      Always been a 20 million cap. Same as prologue. Spend the 20 on the Ford or Ferrari, go broke, win a Penniless trophy, and start back again. Idea is to buy cars, not hoard credits.

    Realllly good seasonal, just wish these races were grid start A-Spec events. Racing 2 class (LMP and GT) on the same track would be so fun!

    Used a straight-out-of-the-box R8 LMS Team Playstation ’09 from the recent online dealership updates and ran away with it, no competition whatsoever. No tuning needed.

    1. stjimmy

      I used PDI RACING KART 100. I even laped half the field 4 of the tracks, no competitiion, no tuning required YAWN…

    Awesome! Can’t wait to get my hands back on GT5 once I’m back from Vacation. Love the picture too! Fuji Speedway!

    1. TakumiFuji01

      LMAO! Your pretty – – aren’t ya? I mean the list buddy, the word “LIST”, and I know it’s Laguna Seca. Corkscrew Corner!

  8. yomamma

    Okay ALL THE RACES in GT5 needs to be as challenging as the Ring 24h in this seasonal. I think it was the most challenging race I’ve had so far in the game.

  9. potsworth

    You do no people are glitching Suzuka Circuit and Nurburgring for the money someone need to put a stop to this .

    1. Chimera91

      Yes there was the fastest time for the Suzuka east track in the old time trials was 16 seconds in a NASCAR, I could be wrong, he could be an insanely good driver!!!

  10. blootmens

    I calculated that the Ferrari seasonal event @ sarthe is still more cash per second than the Nürburgring 24h seasonal.

    1. Jon64½

      Ah yes, cash per second. I like that sound of that. There should be a gauge on the premium cars dashboards for that.

  11. Terarmzar

    I did this race with the pagani zonda R, it had 693 pp but i could keep up on most races and almost lost on fuji speedway with it.

  12. Bien Cien

    750pp?!?!?!? Challenge accepted.

    Can we have a fictional seasonal event in the near future and bring back New York and Seattle?

  13. Jon64½

    I’m about halfway through this event right now, pretty fun! I’m definatly happy with the reward credits.

  14. TheLoveNinja

    I used the Minolta for my first go, now using an FGT dropped to 450bhp and fattened up to 700kg. Quite fun having the cornering upperhand but having the AI fly past on the long straights.
    Thinking about staging a championship in these FGT ‘lite’ cars. Would make for some good races :)
    I’ll post something soon, stay tuned!

  15. Pato Milan

    Unbelievable pic!!
    Did the Nurburgring 24h race and boy, it’s not easy. Managed to win by less than 1 sec, all these events have the Minolta at the front!

    1. rob

      first time i raced the ‘ring 24hr i used a zonda r and came in 3rd place, 13 secs behind the leader…..last time i raced i used the 908 peugeot and won by 15secs

    2. Smuttysy

      Managed to win by 3 seconds using the Mobil 1 NSX!
      First time through all the events I used this car and aced them.

  16. hywelkidd

    Looks great. 678,900 cr. for the Nurburgring 24h, I think I know what I’ll be doing next time I’m on GT5.

    1. Advent

      @hywelkidd

      That’s exactly what I was thinking lol… Nurburgring is definitely the most fun for grinding, especially when there’s a decent payoff at the end.

    2. Rayb677

      The best moneymaker event I found so far is the Sarthe (Le Mans) circuit in the event for Ferrari’s. Like 135000 cr./min … (504.000 cr. / 3’45” )
