Modern GT Showcase event @ Ring hardest event?

What say you? What is the hardest showcase event?

My vote is this one in the Race Driver Experience category. I had to knock the difficulty down to Pro due to the terrible acceleration and top end of the BMW Z4 race car. On other difficulties I would work may way up to 8th and stall out. The AI wasn’t great in corners but blew the doors off me on the straights. Given that the ring isn’t easy to pass on, especially at night, I found this event to be pretty hard.

On Pro I worked my way up to 2nd pretty fast but couldn’t catch 1st until a few corners before the long straight. After that I pulled away by 500 ft (typical forza AI nonsense) before getting caught again by 2nd only because the Z4 sucked going down that long straight.

By far this was the best career mode event I’ve ever had in forza. FM6 career is terrible, but somehow they snuck in this gem. Go figure.

That Ford GT passing challenge was horrible. I was only just able to do it with the ghost mod.

I really enjoyed the ring event. don’t remember witch car I drove but I remember it was quite fun. I still missing out volume 5 in career but I must say that the showcase events were allot more fun this time as the career feels like it’s repeating itself! :slight_smile:

I agree, I tried completing this with multiple cars on Unbeatable and even though I was in 1st most of the race, eventually that bloody Rossi passed me somehow and it all went downhill from there.

The hardest showcase for me was the Arial Atom at Catalunia. The bloody thing is uncontrollable without TCS and STM not to mention it’s crazy fuel consumption. Barely managed to win running on fumes and drivatars at Highly Skilled (I usually race on Unbeatable). The AI didn’t even bother pitting for fuel. That race was ridiculous.

My vote goes to the autocross showcase events. Lost count of the number of times I’ve attempted to complete even one of these! I may have to stop trying as it will only end up in a smashed controller/tv situation ha!

I don’t understand the logic behind this but if you decrease the drivatar difficulty you get more time to complete the event.

That’s brilliant I will give it a try tonight!

oh wow is that true? I might have to give them another go. Now I think about it I do remember getting a popup after failing autocross a few times asking if I wanted to reduce drivatar difficulty, but I just dismissed it thinking what good would that do…

The one I really hate is the stock challenge with the British race car from the 30s or 40s I think. That car is ridiculous to try and handle.

There are many difficult showcases that are a pain, but the Bathurst 100 was a real challenge for patience.
At the start, the other cars get so much momentum and you are literally boxed in the field to make any moves. Especially in he mountain section, the cars like to brake early (I was on Expert difficulty at the time). It took many tries to get the start right until I opted for the Specter mod.
And also, it’s Bathurst! You’d expect to be humiliated.

I found the Bathurst 100 one of the most enjoyable endurance showcases I’ve done yet. I’m sure the Sebring and Le Mans ones will be a huge test of patience for me. Not overly looking forward to either of those but will definitely attempt them soon with plenty of XP mods on :slight_smile:

How long do the other endurance events take to compete. I’ve done one, the Cat 125 and it took about 70 minutes for me.

The shortest ones are the 100 ones which take roughly an hour. The longest is the 300 one which takes roughly 3 hours.

They last anywhere from 1-3 hours.

Thanks to IvoGTA 360 I have finally managed to do all the autocross events by tweaking the drivatar settings… All thats left showcase wise is 3 endurance races. The 3 biggies: Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans. Looking forward to these as have a load of 100% XP mods to use. Boom!

I think the Mclaren P1 passing challenge on unbeatable is the hardest showcase ive played. On unbeatable you have to pass 62 cars on Yas Marina. No matter what mods i use, corner cutting etc i cant get past 61 cars.

I’d say the Underdog Hot Rod Challenge of the Top Gear Showcases is pretty hard – IF you didn’t choose the Bel Air.

I chose the Mercury Coupe for it as I’ve nearly no affinity with Mercury (You have the Mercury Coupe, Chevy Bel Air, Ford F100, and Ford De Luxe Coupe as your choices), Ford is maxed, and Chevy is level 17 for me. You either have to lower your difficulty massively, have some serious skills, or cut so many corners you’d make some crash teams blush. OR…choose the Chevy. Tried maybe four races with the Mercury, best I could do was 5th. Quit, restarted, chose the Chevy, and I blew past everyone before the first corner.

Having just ran the Modern GT Nuburgring Showcase, I can say that racing cleanly and having AI difficulty on unbeatable, I definitely see how hard that could be. Mine personally is set to Highly Skilled, and while I won, I only had maybe around 2000 feet ahead of M. Rossi. That Z4 really just doesn’t have top end. It kills you on that straight.

I think it is impossible to get 1st in the Mercury Coupe! In Underdog Hot Rod Challenge, kind of a failure on the devs part for not giving it a chance.
