Also, Le Sarthe will get 100,000+ XP at 375PP. I'm a little over 1 million XP from level 39, but 5 minute + laps are just too slow and boring to grind.

Which car did you use to win Le Sarthe at 375 pp ?

As much as I hate the car, give the Dome zero a try. It is a dominate car in the bunch.

The Dome Zero is not allowed, it's '78.

'89 Skyline GTS-t Type M

[Brindle]

Anyone tried the latest 80's seasonal? I'm hung at scooba. The number 1 AI finisher runs 1'13's, but gets a 30 second head start on lap 1. I need 1'08's or better and I'm stuck at 1'09. Running some modded up '83 Skyline (R30) thing.

The leader is probably in an '89 Skyline GTS-t Type M yada yada yada. Get you one of those, or keeping exiting, and going back, until that car is not on the grid. Even running the same car, I'd finish 2rd at full PP. For me it was unwinnable(is that a word) when that car was in the race.

Is corner cutting still allowed?  Brindle needs an easy grind for mucho XP.

Why yes, yes it is.

 Brindle just borrow Turbos F1 and do the Indy Road Course! You get between 1.5 to 2.5 mil.

Is that XP or credits? If it's XP, then I need to do those.

 It was 2.4 mil in credits, not sure about the XP. Will check and let you know what they are.


P.S. 13 mins. with 371,026 XP.

I skipped the F1 races to begin with, because I suck at them, but tried the IRC race at 840pp, and to my surprise, was able to win it. I even enjoyed it enough to run it again, before heading off to run TuTu. I'll definitely be hitting that one up a few more times for the XP. Thanks for the heads up Grumpy. 

[Brindle]

Thanks Grumpy!  First race got 2.4 mil and 370k xp.  I screwed up that race a bit, so I may try lowering the points some more.  Needs lots o' money for the online lot.  

Oh and thanks also Turbo for the car.  I will get one for myself soon.

Is it me or is the drifting getting harder?

Madrid felt alright, but the 10,000 gold score I think is the highest they've had yet. What I don't understand is the incredible grip at snow drift events, when the racing is like driving on....... well, ice. 

I used the same car(Infiniti Coupe Concept) for all 4 events, and it was a struggle in the snow. Worked pretty good at DRC, even at 487pp, which is maxed with the bolt ons.

Also, what is the deal with them using a tight ass kart track to run the GT-A Skyline TT on? Understeer, and tight turns don't mix.

The thought just occured to me, remember how some of the GT Academy events / tests were like multiple corners and stuff on those little Eifel tracks?  Maybe the TT tracks we're getting for the seasonals are actually the full versions of the tracks we used the respective cars on for those certain tests!

Also I've put my Skyline up for share that I used for the latest event, hopefully it retains all the settings because it seemed to turn fairly well for me .
