Sardegna 800

[Habla2k]

I just bought the Nismo GTR 99 and had an easy win, lapping everyone. then i had an little harder win in an fully tuned Mitsubishi GTO which only had 700pp. Gotta love the Classics.

Aventador and veneno used too much fuel, even on fm6 they only last 4 rounds. No fun, lol.

i just won with an engine swapped M3, cool race. Road cars are a lot harder on those turns.

then I bought a super formula, only to find out it has a fixed nitro that can’t be changed so I can’t use it

will try the Porsche 918 next, cause I have that already.

The F1500T-A will absolutely destroy this race. It hasn't a nitro.
Add the F-XX-K to the road car list. Though it's not sold as a car you can just drive to work in real life, GT7 lists it as a road car. You may need 3 stops to finish, but it's just fast enough to win. I enjoyed the challenge.

The engine swapped Crown also does the race quite easily. I Started on RM tyres and managed 4 laps on them. Pitted for RH and fill up gas. Pitted again end of lap 10 for RH and a little gas to finish.

The F1500T-A

Yes, i tried that one and it was a nice drive.

Add the F-XX-K to the road car list

Thats quite expensive and invite only, so i don't have it yet.

You mean Mazda RX with 787 Engine? I had fun with the "original" 787B too.

A bit OT: I did 2 races on le mans, one with engine swapped BMW M3. So that car now got me a win in all 3 grinding races. le mans, sardegna and tokyo.

Yeah I mean that, I just shortened it.

The Ferrari is worth every credit, though. It'll win all the Ferrari only events outright, but Maggiore can be difficult without teleporting.
The Sardegna race is difficult with it, which is why I recommended it. If you can drive it to the checkered flag, pat yourself on the back!

I managed to make the new Ferrari VGT work for this race. I only won by a few seconds against Hard AI, it would win much more easily against slower AI, as it makes a big difference for this race. Setup is in the video.

Loads of the engine swapped cars can do it fairly easily. The two 787B-swaps, the M3 and 3.0CSL, the R8-swapped MR2...

Sorry for the noob question, but I only got the game recently and haven't really been following all the nuances closely.

How do you get the engines to make engine swaps? Do you have to win them from a lottery ticket (i.e. it's completely random and you may never get them), or is there another way?

Yep. Spare engines are obtained by using roulette tickets. Very rarely you'll get one from a "standard" ticket. You can also obtain special tickets that are guaranteed to award you an engine.
You may then use the engine to replace an original in any car it's compatible with, whether that car came with that type of engine or not.
Say you get a 26B Mazda engine. That was built for a 787B. You can install it into a 787B if you've "worn out" the existing engine by getting into the 787B and going to the tuning parts screen in your garage and selecting the engine. However, this process also works with that same engine and certain RX-7 and RX-8 models. If you're currently driving one and you go to that screen, an icon will appear on the engine that says "compatible". Choose the engine, hit "install", and fasten your seat belt for one wild ride.
My engine swaps usually yield a very fast car that's difficult to drive. I have a few with swaps that I haven't driven yet, though. The RX-7+26B is fast enough to win WTC800 events but the rear end is loose, the Mustang Mach 1 + 5.0 Mustang Coyote stayed in the road but needed a lot of de tuning, the Cooper + K20 was unstoppable in the Clubman Mini race til they nerfed it's PP, and the Cappucino + 13B is just absurd. It's a Kei car combined with a rocket and the biggest concern is keeping it on the ground.

Thanks for the clarification. Another stupid question. What’s the difference between a standard ticket and a roulette ticket? I have yet to win a free engine I think. Maybe I’m not doing the right things to get them?

OK guy`s hope this can help out those that want to get the grind results easily ie: no pit stops, Just drive smooth and don't aggressively rev it out set your fuel at no6 (lean) and make use of slipstreaming when possible but its not essential and you should find by lap 6-7 you will be in front with plenty of fuel left. Your tyres will be worn by lap 13 but still have enough grip to achieve this really easy win . Enjoy
