I just ran it. You should be able to run 4:15-4:25 laps. Take corners GENTLY, her strength is all in the straights. She also gets fantastic mileage.
Had a little bad luck on weather first go and ran out of laps (unexpected six laps instead of the usual seven - needed that extra lap). But I can tell it's competitive. Also should have ran her harder in first stint, as you mentioned about fuel mileage.
Thanks man…. Yep it feels good to own every car in LCD now I don’t have to worry about grinding and can grind at my own pace… it was tough because the cars come out on a certain date and you have to have the cash before it sells out… and even if you have the money you have to wait for it to release… the Daytona coupe and barker tourer were two cars I was waiting for… saved up 32 million for both but they never released so I just kept saving and the tourer came out eventually and nothing else so saved up to 59 million and finally got the shelby yesterday…
Here's what I've been using which is a modified tune of the stock 250 GTO settings:
They're both great. Both have 200/200 downforce and both can have too much power for their chassis at the highest upgrade levels. Daytona is a more traditional ride, much more controllable than the Cobra 427 and pretty easy to tune. 917k is fast, almost too fast as it looks and feels like it should be a Gr. 1 car, but given its limited downforce its easy to lose it on corners by carrying way too much speed. It sits really low and almost feels like an open-wheel, and this makes it a little "scarier" as others put it. They're both capable at 700PP (not even sure if the Daytona reaches 700PP, but it still wins at Sarthe) and not much higher than that.
I feel like the Daytona isn't worth 20 mil. Like you said, 917k is more unique and just all around a proper scary race car and that one was 18 mil (iirc).
Q: How do you make a car go faster, stop faster, handle better, and get more out of tyres/fuel all in one move?
If you are working against a pp limit, lightening a car doesn't work well for fast tracks, as you will lack the power for a high top speed.Q: How do you make a car go faster, stop faster, handle better, and get more out of tyres/fuel all in one move?
A: "Add Lightness" - C.C.
If given the option, I always reduce as much weight as allowed on any car I care about. I wouldn't ever consider adding ballast even if you paid me to. YMMV
Aston VGT, is that a good option for Tokyo money grinding?
There are cars where adding weight actually improves their performance. Example: tokyo wtc600, with a ford mustang boss '67. Adding weight to the rear actually made the car stable drivable and a valid option for this track.Q: How do you make a car go faster, stop faster, handle better, and get more out of tyres/fuel all in one move?

Definitely. Redistributing the F40s balance makes it a much nicer drive to me.
Is it really that liberal? Only 5 cars have a price tag that is, or near 20 million and they're all justified. Only 6 original Daytona's, 10 Alfa Romeo 8C Touring's, 36 250 GTO's and less than a hundred Road going F1's were ever produced and the 917 is the genesis of Porsche's unmatched racing success.

None of them are justified unless I can sell my digital copy for a fortune. It's a game... Besides, the GTO would be like 60mil if it was "realistic" so they've shot that all to hell long ago.
Yes, is easy to handle and you don't have to stop.
You're missing out on some better driving cars then, lol.Q: How do you make a car go faster, stop faster, handle better, and get more out of tyres/fuel all in one move?

It loses weight amazing well. I have two of them, and the GTO. Get the '61 it's the better, faster, & better sounding car... Once you finally get the 250 GTO you'll be highly letdown like I was as it feels like PD just made the GTO from the GT. Idk, both are great but ~9mil cred version is the superior version.
Yes, I have heard that the ‘61 is the superior car for use in-game (indeed, I really like the car and it is competitive), but I can’t justify buying a 2nd to keep stock in a garage before I get the 250. You are definitely right about the sound, I pulled it out a few days back and that lovely Tipo has an operatic voice!
