The new seasonal events don't have restrictions, so do them with overpowered cars and win easily a lot of XP.

SWEET! :woot: That's just what I needed! I'll get on there later today. :)

I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posted here yet...

Amazing. :) I found a great comparison video in the related videos of that one (same driver in both videos, and he's also using the same BMW M3):

Well, I've just won all five of the new seasonal events. 3.5 million credits, 350,000 XP, and I'm only at level 28; 210,650 / 501,386 XP. :( I have still got a hell of a lot of XP to get before I reach level 30. :cry:

Anyone got a NASCAR I can borrow for seasonals please?

I am still trying to get 1st place with it right now, once I get it I will send it your way. It is tough. I had 2nd place, and like a true idiot I wound up going into the pit, which is literally right around the corner from the end. I was literally gutted.

So yeah, just fired it up, should be about 30 minutes to 45 minutes (hopefully), but I plan on stopping to watch the NFL playoffs anyway, so I can send it your way regardless in no more then an hour or so. You still interested?

I have done the harder 3 of the new seasonal races, so going to go and do the first 2 at some point as well. Definitely. But these are all great, spend some money to make a lot. Definitely worth it.

Sent it your way, I finally got 1st in that event. That was pretty much the hardest one so far, at least for me.

So send it back whenever you are done, and enjoy. (Y)

Thanks Larry hopefully won't have it for too long!

Anyone have a suggested car list for each event?

It's not THAT unlimited. :p You're limited to just one eligible car for each one, but then you're allowed to do whatever you want to it. You'll need a Toyota Prius G '09, a Lotus Elise 111R, an Audi TTS, a Ford GT '06, and the Citroen C4 WRC.

Maybe im in the wrong section? I just went to the seasonal events and did a drift on trial mountain and didn't receive anything...

AFAIK, you don't get anything for doing the time and drift trials. You only get money and XP for doing the bonus races.

Just saw this. Ridiculous the XP and money they are giving away!

Im assuming i can only win once./

yeah you can only win the races once. just did the mini one in a maxed out 07. hardly a challenge.

they should put a limit on mods to the entry car. would make it more fun.

the new seasonal events? ive never seen one where i can use cromeline or stelth cars.

I meant in tuning the cars, but yeah, there is still the restriction to one specific model.

The Toyota Prius event was so boring it was not even funny (easy, but super boring).

Does anyone have a Citroen C4 WRC they'd mind lending me? 800k is a lot to spend on something I'll likely only use once. I'm willing to pay for upgrades and send it back when done.

If you complete the Loeb Rally Challenges on Gold, which you have to use that car for anyway, they give it to you afterwards.

Once you get the hang of getting round the corners of the first, the second and third are pretty easy.

I would think a lot of people are having to the buy the car and mods for it, unless they've already saved up millions via repeating A-spec races. The more you spend on tuning (making it easier), the less you actually win. So it pays to tune enough, rather than just max the car.

Just won the Nascar round the Nordschliefe race (no tuning). Was really fun once I tamed the rear wheel power via the setup. :D

I would think people do the seasonal events for the XP, not the credits. Credit grinding is easy on A-Spec and B-Spec anyways, grinding XP is another story.

Is it just me or does the AI in this game sometimes plain retarded?

I just did the Formula GT championship on B-Spec. One of the races was raining, so I put the Race: Rain tires on my Formula GT car. The rest of the drivers had normal racing tires (so they went super slow), and did not go into the pit once to change them. I ended up winning by a 9 lap margin.

Maybe I'm just the worst GT5 player in the world but I truly cannot comprehend the penalty system in GT5 (particularly in the license tests). It seems so random and stupid it's beyond words! I mean I've had races when I've rammed the back of the car in front of me (due to failing to brake quick enough) [which in many other times has got me disqualified] then as a direct result of that go off the track completely [which also has got me disqualified numerous other times] and the game disqualifies me for a slight brush with a car as I return to the track :s other times just going a pixel from the side of the track is enough to get me disqualified. The there is the whole thing with the AI being immune to the penalty system, they cut corners to get fast times (which would get you disqualified) and if they ram you, you get disqualified. Ok I think that is enough of my rant now...like I said maybe I'm just a crap driver but like to hear others thoughts on this?

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.
