OK guys i searched and couldnt find any tips for this setup.

Im having trouble on the JGTC championship, completing HONG KONG Circuit.. i dunno, its more of a gearing problem, i tried lowering down the gear ratios, but its really not helping me, its still a struggle. and it may be suspension, givin the fact that its still on stock settings, and i have done stage 4 turbo. But the fact is, the cars are walking off and leaving me . im driving good. i just think the car needs some adjustment, so im asking you all for some tips please on things i can adjust!

Thanks!!

The two kinda contradict. If you actually are driving good, then you should have no trouble winning the race with stock-power JGTC'ers (not to mention that the crappy AI enables a good driver to win in much weaker cars, such as the GT300 cars). Stage 4 turbo should be more than enough to leave those cars in the dust - so my suggestion is:
Take the Takata out to arcade mode, or GT Mode Practice Sessions. Drive it around Hong Kong, optimize settings, turn off all aids, and learn the track well. If you still have troubles after training hard, then I'm not sure I can help you.
Hong Kong is one of the most challenging tracks to race in - it's tight and full of 90-degree corners, with not many places where high-HP cars can stretch their legs, so in the lower gears, they'll wheelspin a lot. Less power, on this track, also means more speed, since the car will wheelspin less. To remind you, a lot of JGTC cars wheelspin in 2nd gear, even on R5 tyres - so I can imagine what a mess they are on cold R2s in the hands of an unexpirienced driver.

I had lots of trouble with Hong Kong (not this specific race) in the past, as well,but after a WRS week there, I managed to get the hang of it - it's quite a fun circuit, once you get the rhytm. You could perhaps join the WRS as well - try the qualifier, see how you place. Many egos have been shattered there...

Practise - lots. When I first drove this track I would find myself lapping about 20% slower than equally powered cars. After a couple of dozen laps I could match the competition. Last week I re-ran the All Japan GT Championship in a non Japanese car - an Opel speedster with stage 3 turbo, wing and usual drivetrain mods, and I won all ten races for 200 A-spec points each.

The suspension can easilly be stock - JGTC cars, expecially the Takata, are well-setup when stock. You don't need to change much for Hong Kong, except maybe increasing height and softening the suspension.

ile put it back stock and adjust those area`s and see what happens . Thanks!
 
Ya there is no need for a stage 4 turbo in a JGTC car, that is just asking for problems, especially in hong kong. If you are driving good then you should be able to win in a regular JGTC car.
 
All I have to say is hong Kong overall is my least favorite course i absolutly hate it so if your having trouble with any car I understand why.
