If memory serves, the fastest prototype in the race is the Sauber Mercedes C9 with a top speed at our around 360 km/h (roughly 240mph). If you can gear the car to hit 250+, you'll be golden. The tuning chart in the Transmission sub-menu cuts off around 200mph, so if your top gear(s) extend much beyond that, you're getting warmer. Keep something else in mind, though: as wind resistance increases, power required to overcome drag becomes less direct-multiple and more exponential. Just so you understand, the Sauber has around 987bhp, so you're going to need power in that region (800+) to overcome the forces of drag and wind resistance.
Have you used the tranny trick yet? If not, set your final drive ratio to the highest number (lowest setting) and then adjust your autoset slider to 25, then to 1. From there, do NOT touch the autoset again, but decrease the numerical value of your final drive ratio until your 5th gear extends slightly off the right side of the gear map in the upper ranges, and 6th disappears almost immediately. Then you can adjust for flavor and get that car moving around 260mph for an easy win.

Fab, you're talking about the fastest prototype in the hands of a human driver. I'm referring to the fastest car in the hands of the computer. Usually, it's either the Sauber at around 360km/h (240mph) or the R92CP at around 355km/h (235mph). If you can tune a car to beat that speed outright, you've got your winner for the Like The Wind race and a nifty new W12 Nardo Concept prize car.
Nice job on the win, Professor! I knew you'd be able to do it, because this race is cake. Enjoy that new fire-orange W12!!

I did the Like the Wind a while back but I'm almost sure that is used the GT-One with that top speed configurations but in different tires. And won. And got the lovely W12 which is good when I want to see wheels spin and the smoke coming out of the tires 
. Can be really fast though.

Why don't you post your settings/parts/etc. and we'll see if we can adjust it to get you there.

Erm, you know you're posting in the GT4 forum, right?
X2010 and Jaguar XK90 don't exist in that game.
Oh, and while you're at it, you should re-read the Acceptable Use Policy for this site, (which, given that you only joined today, we're surprised you've managed to forget already!) and befriend your "Shift" key so that you can comply with the request to use decent grammar and use capital letters properly.
Thanks.
