Yes very easy.
I probably could've saved some cash by not fully modding the car.
Simple racing tires, suspension, ecu, exhaust, intake type mods.
No need for weight reduction or turbo or Na engine upgrades.

and I was finally able to do the NASCAR Nurburgring race, I was over the hp limit because of an oil change. That was a bit fun.

I Say they should giVe double the credits if you can do it with some limitations.
Like gold gets you 1mill credits with no tuning restrictions.
An additional 1mill if you can get gold with the restrictions.
So max you can get is 2million.

While I like the challenge of the events. I am glad to have the quick cash for my f1 car savings fund.
One of the reasons I hate this game type is I can tune a car and hope it's fast enough only to find out at the end that I'm 1 second per lap off pace. Thanks 10 laps wasted that I could have spent tuning and practicing if I had known the time I needed to hit in advance.

it doesnt turn wortha shit. but i was too lazy to try any real tuning, could have probably made it a lot better by adjusting the LSD.

i just did the American Expert series race at Laguna, in the Viper GTS-R and the 2nd place car was the 2J. It was pretty damn fast, but I was able to pass it even in the GTS-R. Maybe you don't know how to drive that Ferrari.

thats cause you have room to pass and there are long straightaways, this is on my favorite map, cote d azur.
first corner is a mess, and if the 2J is in 1st-3rd position then you're fucked.
i got lucky and in the random order it got placed 4th and ended up in the back of the traffic.

which reminds me, i miss how it was in GT3 where you can qualify for pole position, like in real races.
but i guess if you're showing up to a race with 100hp cars with a car with 1000hp, theres no need to get pole position.

no. you save your game with 20M cr, buy the car, gift it to your secondary account, restore the savefile, send from your secondary account to your main
you now have 20M car and your original 20M cr

Edit - beat me to it.
Back up your save when you have 20 mil. Buy car. Send car to me. And then restore your save file. Free 20 million dollar car for me and you've got your 20 mil restored .
Lets see...make use of this post....
Even drifting is kinda getting boring.. I've been attempting to drift completely stock cars with stock settings. It's more challenging. GT by Citroen makes a surprisingly good drift car.
I tried out for these drift teams for the hell of it. One of them is full of amateurs. The other full of try hards. The second one I'm talking about immediately accepted me in. I dunno what I'll do with them. I was just curious if I would get accepted.
