An interesting new GT5 Seasonal Event became available earlier today, featuring high-powered cars (750PP or less) on some of the game’s real-world race circuits:
- Monza (590,100 Cr.)
- Fuji Speedway F (564,000 Cr.)
- Laguna Seca (538,000 Cr.)
- Suzuka Circuit (590,400 Cr.)
- Nurburgring 24 Hour Circuit (678,900 Cr.)
Note the Online Car Dealership has not been updated for this event. As always, head on over to GTPlanet’s GT5 Seasonal Events forum for more analysis and discussion! Thanks to all of you who sent this in.

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.
These seasonals are alot of fun. Especially the Nurburgring one! Its very challenging! :)
This and the F1 seasonal events are the best imo, super entertaining driving and a lot of cash.
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.
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….
Whose winning the Nurburgring and wil what?
Meant to be “with” what?
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).
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
WTF!!! I can only get 20 million credits…What is this Cap and Trade Obama game?
You can only spend 20,000,000 credits. Once you’ve spent that, you can start saving again. What’s the problem?
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.
Now this is a seasonal event..not like those lame French compact cars or whatever it was a while back.
can u use the x1?????
No, because it’s PP is much higher then the 750PP limit
ill glitch for money….??
screen frozen just after results 6 times now…ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
AMAZING!!!!!! WOWOWOWOW!
**Hey, thumbs up if you like eating pizza*** duh duu duhhh duhhh…
Its 1 in the morning and im tempted to get outta bed just for this.
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.
I used PDI RACING KART 100. I even laped half the field 4 of the tracks, no competitiion, no tuning required YAWN…
@stjimmy I’ll try that out, just because I can :P
Awesome! Can’t wait to get my hands back on GT5 once I’m back from Vacation. Love the picture too! Fuji Speedway!
Laguna seca :/*
LMAO! Your pretty – – aren’t ya? I mean the list buddy, the word “LIST”, and I know it’s Laguna Seca. Corkscrew Corner!
Was gonna say :/
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.
You do no people are glitching Suzuka Circuit and Nurburgring for the money someone need to put a stop to this .
Why, what difference is it making to your life?
Well it’s ruining the time trial leaderboards for a kick-off
What leaderbords? this isn’t a time trial.
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!!!
this is a discussion about new seasonals though.
It’s definatly a little challenging with the Minolta. I liked how close each race turned out.
finally….Nurburgring 24 Hour…i’m so happy :)
787B with transmission to make it go 230 MPH. Killer.
Damn the 24h ring race is insane! Came in first with minolta 88c by 2seconds!!!
Sweet!
I calculated that the Ferrari seasonal event @ sarthe is still more cash per second than the Nürburgring 24h seasonal.
Ah yes, cash per second. I like that sound of that. There should be a gauge on the premium cars dashboards for that.
Just saying that for grinding, the Ferrari Seasonal is still better :)
agree … like 135k cr./min of race
Yes, Seattle please.
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.
750pp?!?!?!? Challenge accepted.
Can we have a fictional seasonal event in the near future and bring back New York and Seattle?
i just started the event now last corner at monza screen goes all jagged….PS3 YOLD ARRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
…and no Tsukuba!
lol…don’t temp fate
I’m about halfway through this event right now, pretty fun! I’m definatly happy with the reward credits.
Great new, great picture.
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!
That sounds like a great idea!
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!
So which car do you use? I was like 50 secs ahead with my Nissan R89C Race Car…
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
Managed to win by 3 seconds using the Mobil 1 NSX!
First time through all the events I used this car and aced them.
Use the Minolta and you’ll be the one in front :D
@GT_Die_Hard I was like 45 seconds BEHIND with that car, raced flawlessly.
Looks great. 678,900 cr. for the Nurburgring 24h, I think I know what I’ll be doing next time I’m on GT5.
@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.
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” )
That pic is amazing! :O
And the events seem pretty fun too! (y)
AMAZING!!!!!! WOWOWOWOW!!
**Hey, thumbs up if you like eating pizza*** duh duu duhhh duhhh…
Did somebody order a pizza for I.C. Wiener?
Any premium car you can suggest with cockpit view that can be competitive for this seasonal event?
I have been using the Peugeot 908 HDI. Great Premium car for these events.
