- Deep Forest Raceway (5 laps, 339,000 Cr)
- Clubman Stage Route 5 (5 laps, 345,000 Cr)
- Suzuka Circuit (3 laps, 368,400 Cr)
- Tokyo R246 (3 laps, 362,700 Cr)

pasigiri: you win a Jaguar XJ13 for winning the Indy 500. Seems easier than grinding 20,000,000 by wining 40 500,000 credit races.
I think there should be a seasonal for only the XJ13, Ferrari 330 P4 race car, Ford Mark IV. High dollar seasonal or something to that effect.
The Civic Seasonal is way too easy. With anything close to 450pp it is a piece of cake. No tricky oversteer to deal with since Civics are FF. The way I keep it interesting is trying to be in 1st place before the 3rd lap of 5 lap races. The Supercar Seasonal is a lot better. More fun, more of a challenge, a little faster races and a little more dough. Formula Ferrari Seasonals are a challenge; I’ve won them all but still don’t win consistently.
This challenge has been a lot of fun.. thanks PD!
Just finished the races.
Im using the ek9 tuned to 440pp its unreal, by far the best every mod aprart from turbo and weight reduction
The supercar race pays more. Around 500thousand for a 5min race. I used zonda r race car. Last race on there. Randomly generated track but short 1min laps and 5laps
You aint kidding. I’m doing the same thing. I’m trying to get a 20,000,000 credit car. This seems to be the only way.
I’d say the fastest/quickest cash is the lightweight cup on the last track. (Far right). You can even use an RM Cappaciuno however it’s spelled. It’s 3 laps and it takes 56 seconds per lap. 304,000Cr. in 2min 56seconds
This is the 3rd easiest seasonal event, behind the FF (no restrictions) and the supercar challenge. Easy money and easy to lvl 24.
they should make a prototype race at Le Mans or Nurburgring, for like 10 laps or something…..
Yes. This^^ I was hoping with all of the proper race cars in the OCD, and with the 24 hours just last weekend that we would be getting a little “Mini-Le Mans” this week. Would have been cool. I love driving all of my LMP’s.
specially with the 24 hrs of nurburgring coming up in july. it just makes sense to have that race in the seasonal events. I say one race for the LMP’s, and one for the JGTC’s (now called Super GT), on real-life tracks like Fuji Speedway, Nurburgring and Tsukuba. that would be way better than a truck challenge seasonal event in my opinion.
We need an expert challenge every week.. that would be cool.
OMG they’re so hard!
Loved it! Go yukamobile, go!
HONDA is THE best! :)
Boy, that cart track’s difficult.

THIS GAMES OUTDATED HOW MANY UPDATES NOT BAD AS IT TOOK 5 YRS TO MAKE ITS ALL THE SAME GRIND GRIND GRIND ROLL ON FORZA 4 A PROPER SIM THIS GT5 IS ABOUT AS SIM AS MARIO KART
wow. that is all.
Yeah, who knows, maybe with the fourth edition they’ll make Forza a true realistic racing sim. *snicker*
Funny you guys just got a decent wheel. How is that A proper sim. With out proper wheel support. You don’t have a proper sim. ;)
Btw I personally would ban these people. No need for their craziness.
Excuse me sir.
.?..,,.!.. <—–Somebody turned these in.
It looks like you've lost yours, and they seem to fit your post.
Gotta get my 97′ Civic RM
Civic seasonal… meh… I’ll complete them tomorrow… let’s see what happens…
This is all me… love my honda civic’s :).. the only thing that bummed me out was the 450 PP thing.. i dont like being limited to what my cars can do, but overall its real fun and it shows that Gran Turismo is taking further steps to improve the game. Thanks GT Crew
IMPROVE ??? WHAT ???
Says the troll whose claimed to have sold his PS3 has far back has two years ago, and supposedly doesn’t care about the game anymore, (“not his style”), yet still hangs out here posting his constant dissapointment with every update.
That’s what I am talking about! I hope all the track will work and won’t freeze not like the Subaru sedan challenge in which i always freeze at the corner after the chicane at Laguna Seca. Fix the bugs!
worked for me
You can run the Civic RM and you can run the events more than once.
Cmon people who is tuning to only 400 pp? Took my one premium si and tuned it with exhaust, transmission, air filter and ecu. Won every race. Tight on some but I won.
Yes! Get to used my EK9, EG6 and some other Civics I had :). Might use my EK9 made by Spoon!
I can confirm that the Spoon EK9 is not allowed to race or any other tuner / race civic except the premium RM EK9 which I done it in, way to easy tho, overkill.
Also was I trippin or did my PP not change going from comfort hard tyres to sports hard for the race?
Was expecting a challenge because of last Seasonal, the civic races are nowhere near that difficulty level… sadly.
Tyre choice has no effect on PP in GT5.
As a newcomer to Gran Turismo 5, this is my first action in the Seasonal Events. I competed in and cleared all five races with a Race Modified 1997 Civic. Maybe the craziest thing about this is that one of the AI racers I squared off against was named D.Hobbs… David Hobbs, much? Anyhow, it was a nice experience! A big part of this was in toning down engine power to help out the Performance Points (PP) limit. I used the winning money to buy me a F430 Scuderia and a Lotus Evora.
Anyhow, give this Honda Civic Competition a go! :)

q for the comment above…
Who thinks GTPlanet should have its own ‘Like’ button on the comment section?
Downvoted! ;)
Joke …
Wait. No Tsukuba? I’m not even interested :)
Shocked!
I will have to get my white jdm ep3 out tonight :D
I’m currently away from my PS3, so can someone please tell me how many PPs a fully tuned Civic RM is? I want to get an idea of how hard (or most likely easy) this new SE is by judging how many PP I’ll need to shave off of one of my Civics in order to quality for the races.
i believe my fully tuned RM was about 507 pp, ive raised it from 850kg to 1110kg and from 400hp to 220hp
I had a 600 pp fully tuned honda civic tuned down to 450.
I won the first 3 races with the Honda civic you win early on…SiR II. No upgrades…took the lead on the last lap so a relatively easy event…good fun
Whoa, that’s a lot of credits..
I love the new event and how you can keep doing them to get more and more helmets/suits!! IMO, the best one to do for the suit is Stage Route 5 and Eifel for the helmet!
I’m looking forward to winning more race suits and helmets from the seasonals, the money is ok too but is already easy to get, a remote race update would be nice too since its been a while
Oh no, I was just about to grind money fur the current bunch of cars in the online car dealership -_- There were at least 6-7 cars I still wanted to buy… I really hate tose quick changes…
Did you see what Jordan wrote?
“Note the Online Car Dealership has NOT been updated with any new vehicles”
oops… my bad^^
My bro erased the ps3 hard drive so I don’t even want to do this anymore…. so many cars gone.
No backup?? That’s not good!
Bang tidy, shating!!!
Dippity shemp, marooooo!!!!!
Smash her back doors in….oh wait its a coupe…
When’s the next update???
NEVER.
Kaz has decided too many people spam up unrelated articles whining and asking when the next update is coming, so he’s announced that he’s not making new games, or updates for old ones anymore, and he’s taking up pro level checkers instead.
You got 10! updates in 8 month and the game is same **** !
Take it easy !
I love honda civic! Best car ever made in it’s class!
oh you’re asking for a flame war…
The AE86 doesnt stay too far behind…or too far ahead in the 1600 class.
Yeah, but the ae86 is no honda! ;-)
(please don’t take this to serious)
And its RWD :P
Please tell me you aren’t putting an ae86 in the same “class” (whatever that means) as a Honda civic.
Sweet, more easy money.
Yea YAY-UHHHHH!
It’s weird how PD only added one Seasonal Event and one that’s model specific.
I’m expecting the cars in the Online Car Dealership to be made into Premium cars. Kaz did say there are some CLASSICS he wanted to be made Premium. The Veyron is in there, a car that is 100% going to be made into a Premium.
And yes, obviously the Veyron isn’t a classic. The GT40 is though.
So is it safe to say i can go buy back gt5 now and enjoy it??
If you’ve already sold it, you probably won’t.
i only sold it cause it wasnt nothing much for me to do and no one to race with
no one to race with… wow are you like anti-social or afraid of joining online lobbies? lol
Well look at his name
my white EP3 will be taken out later today :D
lol that is just mean
nO I was just tired of the shunters and the ppl that feel like they have to lean on your car in every turn
@Bakemono858 All the lobbies are the freaking same! It gets boring quick.
All the public lobbies may be the same, join an online racing series. MUCH better racing, guaranteed.
If you intended to buy it back then why did you sell it? Not a very profitable return. If if I didn’t like it at first I would still hold on to it to give them a chance to update it anyways.
Hooray for the ‘+’ part of the + or – 1 day from Thursday!
