Race 5 - Lamborghini Aventador '11

I finally made it, not win, but second place!

Bought Aventador '11, detuned to 598PP and went straight to the race.

No any mixing fuel FM1 as I can't change it due driving without HUD.

This brings me need of 2 pitting and 🥈 place in the end.

I believe I can win with Aventador, only if I manage 1 pit stop.

Here is whole race, that was very interesting, I had lead two laps before end:



I never before finished that race.

Reward from 6 ⭐ car ticket was huge - Bugatti Chiron!


Power Pack Race 2 - McLaren BMW GTR

Big fight with Bonelli at short Watkins:



Power Pack Race 3 - Honda Civic Type R (EK) Touring Car

And no, the AI does not drive the whole race on one tank.

I knew that this had come up somewhere else recently, and it was this thread in April from someone a lot less nice than their username suggests:

Thread 'How GT7 A.I Cheats the pit.'

I am writing to formally report a significant balancing issue and potential bug within the World Touring Car 600 (Tokyo Expressway - 12 Laps) event in Gran Turismo 7.
During my recent race, I observed a complete lack of mechanical parity between the player and the AI competitors. Specifically, an AI-controlled vehicle completed 7 consecutive laps (and in some cases the entire race) without pitting for fuel or tires. Given the fuel consumption rates and tire wear forced upon the player in this specific event, it is mathematically impossible for the AI to achieve these results under the same...

To save reading any more than that... whatever that was, when I ran that race in Normal for that thread the AI pitted as follows:

Lap 5: Gallo
Lap 6: Beauvois, Grady, Takida, Haywood, Conomos
Lap 7: Suswillo, Fraga, Blazsan, Hizal, Miyazono, Gentry
Lap 8: Kokubun
Lap 9: Gallo (2)
Lap 10: Solis, Yamanaka

That's all 15 AI. All took fuel each stop, with Conomos and Gentry on Sports Hards the only ones not to take tyres too.

Having just run it again, twice, here's how the AI pitted both times:

Lap 5: Gallo
Lap 6: Beauvois, Grady, Takida, Haywood, Conomos
Lap 7: Suswillo, Fraga, Hizal, Blazsan, Miyazono, Gentry
Lap 8: Kokubun
Lap 9: Gallo (2)
Lap 10: Yamanaka, Solis

Again, all 15 AI took fuel, all but Conomos/Gentry took new tyres.

All you have to do is watch your replay back to see that it's a nonsense that they don't pit/don't refuel.


As for "tuned up fast&furious cartoon cars" (which seems to be an overt admission of basic tuning ignorance), I've just done it in a bone-stock XJ220 (599PP, Sports Hard as standard) and then a bone-stock Lexus LFA (592PP, Sports Hard as standard).

Still, there's no helping those who don't actually want to be helped...
 
The Pontiac Firebird on its standard engine seems to be really good at Tokyo

26:28 finish, 2:08.5 fastest lap. The flaming chicken can hit 200 on the straight with slipstream. It is prone to power oversteer, but, being a malaise-era American sports car with 582 horsepower and sports hard tires, it shouldn’t come as any surprise.

FM1, a little lift and coast, pit for fuel on lap 8, then win.
