Tis the season to be jolly...

Check the seasonals.

Check the latest seasonal, this one in fact. It's compact 400pp cars on comfort soft tyres.

Then, consider that most if not all the compact cars in the game are FWD cars, and haven't had the hand of PP touch them. So relatively a compact F/R car is going to be much lower pp.

Then go get one of the following (luck finding them):

Just cool.

Cooler.

Coolerer

Err, warmer.

All of those cars have gone from a rock solid 400pp or above to well below. The Nissan at the top is now 340pp or something, and on all but the most open of tracks far faster than the competition. And the Evo, well that's now 370pp or something and frankly ballistic. 

It gets better. This seasonal has the SRF (Skid recovery force) turned on by default, so although it's comfort soft time, the lower powered cars handle pretty well - if not 'purist'.

Easy money folks - at least until they fix the PP issue.
