I have plenty of JGTC cars in my garage now and they are going to waste. I have not reached the nurburgring 4 hour endurance yet when I expect that I should be able to throw a few of the JGTC cars at the opposition there.

BUT,

I have looked at the races available to me right now and cannot find a single race or series where there is not some overpowered monster in there to ruin my race.

Is anyone else driving JGTC cars on any of the later races? Which races are challenging? Which races or championships can realistically be won with the JGTC cars?

Its a shame there are not just races for the JGTC cars. And please, I do know that I can take them into the clubman cup, but I am looking for a challenging winable race.

Is Suzuka possible win in a JGTC car? The only problem I would have with that is the rain.:scared:

You could redo Super GT?

The competition is a bit tame, and only two races, but thank you anyway.

Has anyone tried the Dream Car championships in a JGTC car? (I think it is a shame that there are a couple of really over powered cars in that series otherwise it would be a nice challenge )
 
Could you organise a Super GT event online? I think that's pretty much the only way you could get some actually decent competition without entering an AI race with faster cars than yours.

I was hoping to get some practise in before dipping my toes into the online races :scared:

I will have to go back to the Super GT until I get to the 4 hour nurburgring endurance. I have been reading some other threads on this board and it seems my JGTC cars will not win the DCC (It would have been nice to have all that cash and xp for winning that series!).
 
The following races have cars with close to the same P/W ratio as the JGTC cars, which is around .430:

Professional - Super Car Festival (unrestricted)
Professional - GT World Championship (unrestricted)
Expert - Tuning Car GP (unrestricted)
Extreme - Super GT (Japan cars only)

The Supercar festival will only be a challenge on Daytona and high speed ring where top end speed rules. On the Nurburgring gp it would be easy-my stock autobacks gt300 '08 beat it easily.
 
Yeah... GTWC is probably the best bet, unless you want to run comfort tires with all aids off. :)

But... the Autobacs car you mentioned is a potent Super GT car, so I would expect it to win with decent driving. ;)

Thank you for the suggestions, and for the link to the matchmaker!

I will now have a good practise in my JGTC cars before I venture into the dark world of online racing!
