I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a car that would make this a decent race. Tried out probably 10 cars that were in the general class. I usually like to use the cars stock rather than just loading them up.

Ended up running this with the Toyota GT-One Road Car stock except for T5s. The general pattern of the races was to weed through the pack for a lap (I started at the back except for some of the later races), get out to a lead, then pit and have to chase down the 787 and the GT-One race car.

Some excellent races including 2 won by fractions (literally .04 one race) using a bit of blocking to stay in front on the finish stretch. Special Stage Route 11 II was probably the toughest. I won them all except Tokyo, that race relies too much on speed and I couldn't overcome the horsepower advantage.

I'd recommend a run at this series with the Toyota GT-One Road Car. I might run it again with a tire that will last all 10 laps to see what happens.
 
Good job with the road car mate!

BTW - This is my first post in thes forum in ages!
 
I love using the GTOne Road Car for this race. Running the Tokyo 246 can be tough. You'll have to do really well on the rest of the course to pull ahead of the rest of the pack. Try looking behind you when driving down the long straight. Try to use a bumb-drafting driving style here. You slow them down, and you speed yourself up, when you do it correctly.
