That’s cool. I think GT5 or GTS had that on Tokyo Highway as well

Told ya. Eff that F8 Tributo, that was the WORST one I came across in all the menus, I think. Shady af, constantly bumping me, spinning me out. Ridiculous.

Makes me think they quietly snuck in that new AI to just a couple random cars in the menus and this is one of them, lol.

Maybe, I mean this race I got my car but somehow this dude is -13 when everyone else is +30 SECONDS or more. He almost started lapping cars on the last lap. Whatever I got my cars I'm done with that for now. I did win the last race though in Italy he stayed stuck in 6th but put up a dang fight there too.

I'm not finishing the last book tonight though. I tried the Porsche Living Legend and the '94 GT-R with nitrous added now and I don't think either will be good enough. Need to build something better...

That's exactly what I mean. There was one particular Ferrari menu race where that F8 would hang around 4th/5th and then suddenly start closing in and land in first or second. Super aggressive driving. It was ridiculous.

The last menu is the last championship, right? It's 5 races and will take at least an hour of your time. Just use the Castrol Supra. Slap on a medium RPM turbo, and it'll be cake.

I wouldn't use a road car at all. Not enough downforce to keep up.

I'd recommend the R8 LMP car you get for completing the S-license with bronze. Easy peasy after adding that turbo.

IMO it's not so much the downforce but the quick shifting, much better braking in tight corners, and the amazing turning radius.

But yeah it's stupid to waste money on a typical road car to be good enough. I think they don't provide enough tuning upgrades for this. There should be ways to upgrade cars to group 3/4 level.

You'd be surprised how much downforce makes a difference in cornering and stability. I think my Camaro ZL1 has a higher PP rating than my Gr3 and Gr4 cars, yet it can't take corners anywhere near them, and will post much slower lap times.

I did the last book with my Nissan GTR Safety car. I don`t know if you can do the full 5 weight reductions, as I won them on a ticket. !st place in the first 4 races left me entering N ring, last race, with a 13 point lead. Do the math, I already won and I suck on N ring.

Yeah the Castrol GR3 worked for winning the first race. I had to put the rear wing at 650 and the transmission to 400/kph to stop the rear from breaking loose though.

Which turbo did you put on? I would avoid using the high RPM turbo on it since it's already a laggy turbo "stock." Gotta ease into accelerating from corners because of it. How much toe-in are you running?
