The NASCAR TT was simple and easy. The Tsukuba one was more of a challenge. I tried one car and struggled, then picked an MR2, maxed it out and still struggled, but it was a bit more manageable and stuck with it. Won Gold by a fraction of a second and left it.

I need a lot more time at Tsukuba. I'm 1'11 so far. I'll take your advice and try some different cars.

As a fluke I grabbed a maxed out Buick GNX, then had to cut the HP in half, and add 139kg, but out of the 4 or 5 different cars I tried, it was the fastest, and most fun.

I also used the same car, at full power, for the DT at HSR-R.

This is an expert level race event using European racing cars. Cars may be tuned up to 590PP, and tires are limited to Racing/Hard or less. Participating with cars having a lower PP will grant a higher performance difference bonus to your rewards. For example, using a 540PP car will roughly double the reward after the race.

Unfortunately this one is also a Skid Recovery Farce :(, is PD trying to turn GT5 into some kind of arcade racer by forcing this fictional aid upon us?

The seasonals have mostly just been a money grab for me for quite some time now. I like being able to make millions in a short time compared to what it used to take when this game came out.

I really wish they'd leave their stupid made up tracks out of this.  Regardless, I found this pretty much like Dude said, just a money grab.  There have been a handful where I had no idea how to catch the rabbit, but these were fairly easy.

Oh yeah, without a doubt the seasonals are little more than a quick money grab these days :)

It's just the principle of the thing .. :old
