I'm running this race in the next few days, and am planning my strategy. This is the first car that I've had to buy and I'm nearing 53% in the game. So...

I have my pick of three Mercedes that I can run the beginner and amateur races with. I do have 1,000,000+cr but want to conserve $. Hoping to do a minimal amount of modifying to them.

Has anyone been able to run this race with the Kompressor? If so, what mods did you run on it?

In addition, does anyone have the settings they used for it?

Thanks

I used the Mercedes Benz CLK 55 , it has the best power to weight ratio. Didn't have any problems winning the races after I did some modding on it. All I did with it was increase the HP to the max and it was fine (+ weight reduction).

Its even easier if might have won the Mercedes Benz CLK 55 Touring Car somwhere ...

well i also choose the CLK 55, and u win the touring car after u do the race so that sucks.

But i didn't try it with the SLK 230
 
it was easy with the slk, but not worth suping up all the way, i also tried the cl600 and its good for a v12 but its like a boat with all stages of weigt reduc., i gotta try the clk 55 tho...
 
I used The CLK 55, on my current save tuned with everything but the N/A tuning. But on my old save I did it with a SLK 230, to be honest this cup is another easy one make race series nothing to worry about.
 
You will easily make it with a modified CLK 55... you don't even need to tinker the settings (I sure didnt'!) ;)
 
After reading this, I think I'll attempt it with the SLK. Add a few mods to see how the competition stacks up, then adjust to keep it in the "Gun vs Gun" range as opposed to the "Gun vs Bazzooka" range. I'm attempting to keep the 4 less than doing it in the 55 w/ minor mods.

Ran it my first and second time through in the CLK 55 heavily modded.

Thanks for the info.
