Gran Turismo 5 - Seasonal Events - NASCAR Nürburgring Nordschleife - Gold

I don't know who got this crazy idea to race NASCAR on Nürburgring Nordschleife; nonetheless I tried 4 times to figure out how to win. BTW, this event will end at January 13, 2011.

Before entering the event, make sure:
1) You have a NASCAR, anyone will do;
2) The car's power output must be reduced to 850BHP (or under) to meet the limit; (Drive it on INDY 5-Lap event (Extreme Series) several times will do the job.)
3) Driving an un-tuned car would mostly guarantee your failure, unless you enjoy the pain that is...
4) And make sure you know the Ring very well if you want Gold finish.

Like the Special Events, the rewards can be only gained once. You need to control the throttle very well at low speed, or otherwise the car will spin out due to too much power. Just watch the throttle control carefully when the car slows down in the video, and you will know what to do.

Is your video editing software interpolating extra frames??

[uxgalyq]

@Doma111222333 I don't think so, though I experienced next to no frame issue when I was playing GT5.

Fuck...this track pisses me off. I'm going to go home and try your setting, but....what do you mean when you say your dualshock 3 is adjusted. Adjusted how and where?

[uxgalyq]

@narongpung Just changed the button layout, I don't like the default settings. ;)

[Demock]

why does your AI look like it's going so much slower than mine ;_;

[uxgalyq]

@Demock Really? Or maybe just me going too fast ;) Anyway, have fun.

[uxgalyq]

@macrochipss Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of the hardest racing tracks in the world, you might get better after 100 laps of driving. As I mentioned in the description, people would mostly consider you insane in real life if you try to race the Ring with NASCAR.

[copperheadno2]

i can do pretty well on this track with a slower car (300hp or less) but with a fast car....well lets just say i spend most the time off the track lol

[LoveLyricalRideX]

@ uxgalyq any idea how to get this car? Cerbera Speed 12 '00

Could you also upload the vid for Special Stage Route 5 Drift Trial (Seasonal Events)

[smilnrt]

Thank you for the setup tips! They work well in most NASCAR event races!

[TheFlamingRazor]

For these. Get a car that is higher than the usual opponents. That's what I do

[Lukerativestopaction]

They should try this in the real world and see how many times the "car" slides off the track, or how horrible of a laptime it would get, I mean Literally, The so called " best race cars in America" Can be beaten here by an Ariel Atom with a 4 cylinder Honda vtec engine.

[ash318i]

Can anyone tell me how to get seasonal events?..i'm at level 22 A-spec and never seen it yet

[systematicchaos]

I found with a NASCAR car in GT5 it's best to use a manual transmission and to not even touch first gear.
