After many, many hours of testing and fiddling with set-ups, I decided to try the Formula GT series in the Nissan R390 Race car.
The settings listed will be used thru-out the series, unless otherwise noted. These settings work very well for MY driving style. They may not suit yours.

MIDFIELD:
Used my race settings and put on T4s all the way around.
Started from the back, and by the end of lap 2, I was out in front enough to start driving my chosen line. Its hard to drive your line the first couple of laps because the AI is always ramming you from behind.
Pitted on lap 10 and lap 20. Tires were pretty worn out when I pitted.
Best lap was 56.402
R390 (me) 2933.903
F094/S +1 lap 3028.64
F094/H +2 laps 29 37.481
F686/M +2 laps 2951.112
F090/S +2 laps 3027.618
F688/S +2 laps 3030.133
SEATTLE:
Race settings, T4s and changed final drive to 3.400.
Qualified on the pole with a 117.018. Figured starting in front and getting bumped from behind was a good way to gain a little extra off the line. Stayed to the inside of turn 1, all the AI cars except the F094/S piled into each other on turn 2. Avoided that mess and took the lead just after the railroad tracks.
Pitted on lap 10, 20, and 30. Was fighting lap traffic around lap 22, so my lap times were in the 118-119 range. Once I got past them I was able to get a few 116 laps before the tires went. F094/S pitted on lap 39. He was in sight, ready to go a lap down when he pitted.
Best lap was 115.679
R390: 5255.647
F094/S: +1 lap 5314.291
F090/S: +1 lap 5318.832
F094/H: +1 lap 5347.258
F686/M +1 lap 5411.290
F688/S +2 laps 5258.791
GRAND VALLEY
Horsepower is down to 1166 with 167 miles on the odometer. Oil light is sure to come on in the first few laps or so.
Used race settings, T3s, and final drive to 3.250
Started at the back of the pack.
Picked up the lead about ½ way thru lap 4. All the AI cars pitted on lap 6. I go for a 2 pit strategy to their 4 pit plan. Laps 8 and 9 were terrible! Slightly orange T3s slide more than completely trashed T4s. Pitted on lap 9(whew). Came out of the pits on the start of lap 10. F094/S had retaken the lead. No problem hes pitting in 2 laps.
We all pitted on lap 18. I had about a 17sec lead on the F094/S. I was done pitting, he still had to pit on lap 24. Victory was in the bag.
Best lap was 131.981
R390 4251.338
F094/S 4322.808
F094/H 4347.730
F090/S 4403.211
F686/M 4414.700
F686/S +1 lap 4254.120
Heading to the Super Speedway the point standings are
R390 30pts
F094/S 18pts
F094/H 11pts
F090/S 9pts
F686/M 7pts
F688/S 3pts
Hopefully I can continue shortly, but I have a lot going on this week.
