Withe the 200% multiplier, I like the spa event. I need to replenish my coffers.

The event itself is another matter.

I thought the 700PP race would be the usual instance of being able to use a 600-650PP car and still smoking the competition.  Gave it a go in my HSV race car, lol.  I was actually able to maintain pace with the leader, but winning against Group C and LMP cars was not gonna happen.  Hoped my my stock 787B and promptly ran train.

I tried the same thing with the R35 TC, but wound up using the Audi AE LMP.

[Wolfpack987]

Fully modded the R35 TC is a beast of a car that has no problem beating (AI driven) LMPs.

I'm currently still plugging away at the 24hr Nurburgring enduro in GT5 with a maxed out R35 TC.  I currently have an 8 lap lead over the 2nd place Audi LMP, with 4 1/2 hrs left 

[ChromeTuna]

Yeah, mine wasn't maxed out, and the Audi LMP wasn't that bad. I usually don't get along with those cars to well.

Running a near stock Rocket at Ascari is a freaking blast.
I took a different approach this time, and let MMX go first. This worked out pretty good, as I was originally 3 seconds faster, but then MMX wanted another go. I be damn if he didn't beat my time by 1.7 seconds.  This one is pretty fun, and I'll surely revisit it, as I've got a score to settle. 

I ran my favorite race car, the HSV at RBR, and enjoyed that one as well. Might make for a good TuTu. *hint hint*

I still can't figure out what they did to the drift scoring system, but it has changed for sure. This week's, and the ones 2 weeks ago are different from what it use to be. There must be a really fine line for optimal scoring, as I had numerous attempts score next to nothing, while doing picture perfect drifts. 

[LooneyTuna]

Yep, drifting golds are much harder these days. I gave up after several attempts. I think I ended up just short of silver with the MX-5.

Spent some more time on the Ascari TT with the Rocket, and managed to get into the 13's, but I'm still .1 behind MMX.

Funny you mention the HSV.  That's the exact car I used at RBR as well.  Great car, great fit for that track.

For Ascari I used my bone stock Ferrari 288 GTO and had a ball of a time.  My love affair with that car continues, it is my precious.

Dude! There's your bank!

Use the '11 SRT Charger at 525PP

A win, if you get it, is 290,000 credits, but for you it is the experience that will help you more.

True, I need more mileage at Mount Panorama.
