Can't be GTR...the event is limited to RWD car...
I used stock ocket for the Spa...a Ferrari 430 Scuderia for the other 2...

It has been proven by someone on these forums. But granted I can't find the link and I forgot the name they used for the thread. But they did it online and saw a noticeable difference in lap time.
Let me look for it though anyway.
EDIT: Found it:

Also I still think you can't use that since you also can't use racecars....

The Rainmietser events have 100% wet track IIRC... ie; no drying line.
That thread just proves that wet/intermediate tyres have more grip on the wet parts of the track than a drying line, not that PD have modelled it being faster to avoid the apex if the track is fully wet as you would do if racing karts, for example.
In any case, that’s not realistic… inters or wets would have more grip on the drying line than they would on the wet parts of the track… though they would tend to overheat very quickly unless cooled by running through wet sections on the straights.
Unless someone’s tested specifically that rubber on the racing line makes it quicker to run round the outside of corners, and found it to be included in the game, I remain sceptical that PD have modelled it in the game.

I used the Racing Inters for the event also, and I also tried the heavy wets and found them to be a lot less useful than Inters...if thats 100% wet and full wets are not as grippy as Inters, whats up with that? I remember early on in GT5 Racing Softs are faster than wet tires....is this the same thing over again?

Yes, Racing Softs have more grip offline than wet tires. Online if grip is set to Real, then it's not the case.

I had no problems passing the wet Merc challenges just using a normal driving line... and I completed licenses and challenges 1st in GT5, completing them all in the 1st few days. If there was a discussion it would have passed me by as I'd already moved on to a new part of the game 👍
I'll test at some stage and see what I find

Im pissed off how easy this series was AFTER i read the forums and tried the rocket car. Tried it probably 10 times with the 15th anniversary Pagani. Even spent a pretty penny on heavy rain tires for it. It was totally uncontrollable the whole time. First time i try it with the rocket car i win with a 24 second lead after 2 spins. Quick note for anyone who doesnt already know it, stay off the normal line when accelerating out of turns. I tried it with soft racing slicks and found it had plenty of grip as long as you stayed off the main line. And for good measure (if you already have it), wear the Ayrton Senna racing suit for good luck. He was quite a rain master, after all

Ok, I somehow broke the rocket car. Stomped the race at Spa. Hopped into the race at Le Mans. Couldn't catch up the the FXX so i backed out to try again with a new line up. Didn't change a thing to the rocket car, and now its struggling to brake 100 MPH. So I tried tweeking the trani and did the final engine upgrade stage. Suddenly the car goes like its name sake up....that is till i pass the first chicane down the mulsanne. Hitting 180 before the chicane, i come out and suddenly i cant hit 100 again. What the hell did i do or has happened to my car?
