I would do the race, but then i took an arrow to the knee
just used my Rangie Stormer, it has crushed the competition, ,literally :)
Doesnt it weigh as much as a Ram 1500?
2.5 t of force :)
A great little challenge packed with fun and fierce competition. Just loving these timely race challenges. Thanks
Gott’a go Volkswagen Golf when we talking hot hatch :)
Thank you PD!!!! I’m just happy it’s not Japanesse :) keep it up! European race cares and RM please :) [I really want an Audi R18 TDI]
I agree, it’s like they’re practicing to learn and know about the european car culture. :) Keep it PD. I hope to see more european events. ;)
Fiat 500 lounge fully tuned to the max ,rims and all super fun ! blows them away
Used the 111R and killed it. This car turns on a dime.
I used the sp1 Ferrari and I got easy wins except for eifel
TVR Tamora ftw!!!! :D
I used a lotus Carlton for the “Hot Hatch” seasonal. LOL
Let me know when they’ve got a rally seasonal, until then I’ll be in Skyrim.
Oh yeah! More money! I got about 9 million bucks in GT5 because of the seasonal events.
all i want for x mas is damage to the transmission, and grinding gears!! and destructible headlights so i can drive more careful at night
While you guys were all using your GTI’s I was smashing on my Fiat O.o
yeah,what happened to the massive payouts we had a few months back?
it was for a limited time. know we have the bonus thing so idc. 400k with 200% bonus round eiffel isn’t that bad. better than the 60k races we used to get.
@Bom15 I cant get that high bonus. Thats the bad thing about the bonus thing. NOT EVERYONE CAN BE ONLINE EVERY SINGLE FREAKING DAY!
You can keep on racing the same events everytime to keep the bonus running. That’s what I did, and it’s still 200% to this day. :)
Trying it in a kubelwagen (not stock!). 11th in london on attempt 1. Room for improvement
And the kubelwagen takes gold
I give you a NEEEEW RECOOOORD. :D
I wish a MkVI GTI was in GT5!
Nice!
Lotus Evora ftw!
Hot hatch my a**. I used my fluorescent pink Volvo 240 estate! Haha
I painted mine pink too. I also fully tuned it jacked it all the way up and put full camber on. Didn’t use it in this event but it’s just one of those cars that u just make ridicules.
I just did European hot hatch on bspec. Ugh.
Wrong car lol I used a Ferrari f40 lol that’s one HOT hatch
that’s probably the hottest hatch ever made
what a terrible Christmas present!
It’s only the weekly seasonal, the proper update should be coming a week from or after Christmas?
Just what I needed, woohooo!!! /mario voice.
I am not home yet. However, i will most likely use my BMW Z3 Coupe
btw, that is rear-wheel drive. For anyone who needed to know. I think someone asked…Awesome car btw.
Something different :D
Any of the Clio’s (Standard or Prememum) should work fine here.
Fun event. Good work PD. Now how about a GT300 event followed by British Super Cars?
+1 for the GT300
and +1 for the British Supercars event as well
If PD added the other Aston Martins (particularly the Zagato and One-77) in the Christmas update, then yes, a British Super Car Seasonal would be mighty fine. :) Even better, add the V12 Zagato and One-77 and make it so we can RM them like their LeMans protos.
^^^ That would be so cool. :)
Eifel (Kart) 110A /5 Laps
1st: Cr.200,000 2nd: Cr.121,800 3rd: Cr.107,000
BAM!
Can’t use hottest hatch of them all Ford Focus RS :(
I love you PD but this is not an American car >:(
maybe you could use the Mini Cooper, oh no wait…
That picture look amazing. Great work Dolp! Going to do this seasonal later today. I love london with this kind of cars.
Thank you too! ;)
time to bring the 106 ralleye of Golf 1 GTI to the track :D
gt5 will always f@@@ss forza merry christmas everybody
my 1992 eg civic turbo pwned these euros >.<
Hot Hatch, by my definition, should be a front wheel drive, small (compact) car, derived from a standard family euro-box, but with a semi-hot engine : Golf GTI, Pug 106/306 SI, Alfa 147 GTA, Clio Williams, Megane Trophy etc. I wouldn’t consider any rear drive car to be in the spirit of the competition :)
Renaultsport Clio is MR
Yea, that’s the normal definition. That’s why in online races with hatchback cars only, when I take the 200sx s13 people kick me out even though it is one xD
Are you sure the S13 is a hatch? as far as I know the S13 is a coupe, so, you not being kicked because it is a FR, it’s because it is a coupe, also, the BMW 1 series are FR
@Renan
The S13 came in coupe, hatch and convertible
Great!
Can anyone recommend a rear-wheel drive hatchback, ideally a classic?
Hmm does the premium Supra count as a hatchback? Or the older RX7?
Hmm, hatches are and should be FF. :)
This is more like it.
This could´ve been fun, doing it with a Golf Mk3 VR6, Ford Escort Cosworth, Renault Clio Williams, Golf R, Alfa 147 GTA, etc…. Ah well, I´d better be happy with whats in the game… :-/
You got the golf 4 R and the 147GTA in the game, but only as standard
Yeah totaly agree, this would rock my world if ik could use a mk3 vr6 or mk3 vr6 syncro….
Been wishing for it on every new GT but i think that will never hapen :(
I didn’t know a Samba Bus was actually a euro hot hatch!! With a lot of room!
Now we’re talking! Much better events. Oh and nice image Dolp!
:)
Thank you ;)
I used a Lotus Esprit V8 SE ’98.. blitzed the competition.
No, you just ruined the event for yourself. LOL
Cool. Alfa 147 TI 2.0 TS for me :)
A man with good taste
I really enjoyed this event a hole lot, glad I’m just starting on this one. Took my BMW 2002 Turbo “yes it’s a standard”, for a spin and boy oh boy did I love it when it wanted to drift alot. I LOVE THAT and the car! :D I can’t wait to try out the London track in my classic Golf GTi. ;)
Thank you very PD, you rock and so does Kazunori of course. :D
Deadly. More of these can dust off the golf for this.
Happy day! Love all the races, but this one gets bonus points! :)
I’m so doing this with the mk1 GTi!!!
So am I!
Great… see, PD, it’s not difficult to create great things like this! Wanna start playing right now!
oh my god i got credit agine im so happy i cant believe it am i seriously the first one to report the update to this site its like the 7th or 8th time in a row for the weekly updates.
lol good work, Starsky
I’m guessing you’re about 12, right?
^ that^ hahahaha
“agine”…maybe,again instead. Or am I wrong?
Why are you guys insulting him?…whats wrong with being excited about being the one to report an update?…what wrong with being 12?, last I checked it was OK for kids to play videogames…give the guy a break, let him enjoy his moment
thank you MyFavoriteGame but im a big boy and dont care about there childish behavior im 26 with slight brian damage caused by a car running over my head 6 years ago.
Funny how a MB 300SL & Maserati Granturismo qualify for these events.
thats silly
The Lotus Carlton is a hot hatch too… who knew
Using my maserati to race it :) big big a bulky for the tight courses but with the power it has, nails the hatch puss buckets on the straights
nice!! i have my share f complaints about GT5, but i know alot of other gaming studious would charge for such additional content….thanks PD
Ohh my favorite cars in the game!
Now this is more like it! Its been a while since we had some fun seasonal races.
Niiice ;-)
Racecars? Cool. I hope they add a Classic Racecar one.
I love hatches
Now we’re talking! This should be fun.
Sweet.
Pretty Chincey PayOuts though :(
