The WTC 600 in Tokyo done without exploits is genuinely one of the hardest races in single player in gt7 - share your setups, tips, and cars

[nostradavor2]

basically my idea was to test as many stock cars or at least close to stock on this race, today I did 458 Italia... Not being to able make hot lap really pissed me off because my wife was yapping.. so clean lap was 2:09,4 even tho is much faster car than that.. It didn't disappoint, very predictable even on wet and also on bad tyres last lap or two.. With rear wing and front wing is 599PP.. slapped only that and VR livery ✌🏻 I'd rate it 8/10, would be 10/10 but I'll leave room if something special comes (Ik I'll be to lazy to test even few more)

I started something that I maybe should not have started.

Has anyone tweaked the setup any way?

Yeah I basically started from a clean slate. Was trying to get the thing to be more stable. 17" wheels, roll cage, stiffened suspension and diff up way more. Used brake balance 0 just to save rear tires for last lap, but that didn't help handling coming off brakes. Wasn't using aids except ABS and auto trans., using controller/ flat screen. I'll post the screens/ setup in a while with vid but setup could use a lot of tweaking still, but it was a lot more stable for the sweepers, probably slower on tight turns and not as good at putting power down. Also used more downforce, probably had less top speed. The fastest I saw as 228mph (366.9 kph). Oh and used strong anti-lag. Probably could get good/ clean laps down closer to a 1:56.xxx with better suspension and diff setup. But you have to watch the rear left tire wear or last lap will slow down the overall race time for me. Uploading a vid now.

[BWX]

Vid and setup. It's definitely a work in progress!

 

[Grayfox]

Another tune, this one is less twitchy when powering out while turning.
Main changes are adding more downforce and setting rear ARB from 9 to 8.

I do the same with every update that changes the physics. Before the latest physics update I found 21 cars that can win this race with a Clean Race Bonus straight off the showroom floor. Didn't even change the tires.

With the latest physics update and fuel & tyre depletion changes for this race, it has opened up a lot more stock cars. That, and the PP on a lot of stock cars have dropped under 600pp cap with the update.

This thing is pretty good around here.

Here's my Cappuccino tune, Super stable and easy to drive.
300 rear downforce might look like too much, but the car still turns, and accelerates like it has no issue at all, and leaves it super planted.

I'm using:

• Wide body
• Low custom wing
• Any body options of your liking. A/B are pretty much the same, as long as you get that front and rear bumper.
• Wide wheels and offset, size, 2 clicks above standard

You only have to really be careful on 2 sets of corners:

• the hairpin, and the slight left where we normally get water over the kerb.
• The first 2 corners, due to elevation changes.

I noticed your downforce level of 300 for the rear.
I thought all the wing options were cosmetic and offered the same downforce levels.

Wish this car did not choke itself at high RPM, as it seems to top out at 380km/h when using downforce levels above 160

Yeah T1 and T2 are a PITA, you just get hit with understeer randomly.

 

[Lilium]

No at all.
One way to check this is to usually add the Custom High wing, and all the other aero parts, and max out rear aero.
Then buy other wing options. if the PP was altered, you now know that the max rear DF has been altered.

IF lets say wing A reduces your max rear DF (usually increases PP), and then you buy wing B, and the PP goes back to what it was with the Custom High wing, then Wing B also gives the max rear DF possible a wing can give

In some cars, there's differences even between the Low and High custom wings.

With 300 rear DF, I'm usually hitting 376~378 km/h before braking with my current gearing, if not mistaken.
It's more than enough to get mid-low 56's , or even a very high 1:55, on a regular race pace.

This morning, precisely night bcs my imsomnia has back, I bought Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 and won this race for the first time.
SH and no pitting, few walls hits, but still Clean Race bonus, so it brings me big 825k cr.

 

[nostradavor2]

The stock Giulia GTAm '20 is back under the 600 PP range.👌

Beautiful car honestly, idk how I never raced it in game but drove it irl. I have to say this is where GT does things beautifully because it acts just as irl. Very sharp, points where you want, easy to turn in, aids are just not good on it (same as race mode on the real car), it kicks out ass if you want and it can stay tucked id you want. I really don't like any type of grinding but I'll do this one again. Mine tbf isn't 100% stock since it had Anti Lag System (set on strong), Brake Balance system (+3 on rear), Semi racing exhaust and racing air filter.. I was little tired so didn't managed hot lap, but under 2:10 for old man like me on ds4 would be challenge... Which I'll gladly take

ps if anyone has similar cars to recommend, feel free to tell me

Yep still my favorite modern car in the game. Dream car irl.
Hey I'm old too. No excuse. 😀

It's addictive car irl, better than anything I drove, and I had opportunity to drive some insane cars. Weirdly enough it can be good daily too because in Normal mode is chill car, only in Dynamic and Race becomes monster. If you'll have opportunity, buy it, there's nothing similar on market. I'd recommend even Veloce with 280 hp. I bought Veloce but Stelvio because I need bigger trunk, it's 320 hp on stage 1 and it's insanely nice daily...

 

[Lilium]

@nostradavor2 as you asked for recomendations, give the Maserati GranTurismo and the Lexus LC500 a go.


I've got a Murcielago up to 600pp yesterday, and had a blast. Its a super easy car to drive, but it was just a bit nostalgic hearing that sound. took me back to the PS2 days

thanks man, Maserati will definitely be on the list, best sounding v8 probably great shout

The perfect car. Best of both worlds.

Had a go with the Mini NSX.
Not as fast as the Rocketuccino
It is very tail happy rear stability at high speed is +0.34
about 2 seconds a lap slower over all
Also rear tire wear is more severe, had to pit at the end of lap 10
Also loves to understeer under braking due to ABS kicking in

So Braking sucks, Slower and has more tire wear than the Rocketccino
Shame the game does not have the Autozam AZ-1.
As it most likely would get the 13B-REW engine swap being a mazda and all
A mid-engined 13B-REW sounds sick.

Livery used was Team Kunimitsu in Red which in made a while back.

Haven't tried the OG GT40 since 1.71. No wide body, no permanent engine mods, all bolt-ons. No pit stop.
I'd call it predictable, enjoyable, and plenty fast for this race. When it breaks traction, it's still in complete control and still turning in and making the corner.
Sport brakes are a 4/10 but maybe race brakes with more ballast weight would be good too.

Wide wheels and offset, +2 on size I think.

 

[Grayfox]

A little faster, but still tail happy and needs a pitstop.

I tried the Caterham with only upgrading the tires to SM. Unfortunately it’s straight line speed maxes at 156 mph. Just couldn’t catch up to the front of the pack and took 5th place 20 seconds behind Koku and the gang.

I was very surprised to see Gallo only put once. That’s something new from him.

Physics working, driving a brick on speed hits a wall
But at least it breaks ... brakes ... as good as it should

No, I am not posting any times - I am not capable of playing this game anymore until I learn to use a wheel and onehand driving :s

 

[Tommy_D]

So, I saw there was another engine swap for the old Fairlady Z 432 ‘69 (in the Legend dealership at the time of writing). This time it’s an RB26DETT, so I decided to make a build for it.

It’s a fun car. It hits apexes with authority and slides around like its dancing a seductive tango with the track. Really fun car to drive, and it’s pretty quick too. Hits 200 down the main straight and takes turns fast. My testing has it running a 2:05.341 lap time but I’m sure it has a 2:04 in it.

I haven’t actually done the race with it, but I’m sure it will be a cakewalk. No real need for traction control. Just don’t use first gear out of the hair pin and it should stay under control with the Ultra high RPM turbo. I ran this with the low RPM turbo and it was a handful. Fun, but still 2 seconds a lap slower than the Ultra.

Here is the build: RB26DETT engine swap, wide body, type B front aero, Custom Wing (low, Type 18), 16” wide/wide wheels

 

[nostradavor2]

Took Testarossa on track today, stock gearbox and suspension, still very predictable car . I striped weight to 1200 kg and added racing brakes, pads abd exhaust . . Good car for easy CRB, SH for 0 stop, SM for 1 stop .. Can go to 2:07s on SM which is faster than I thought.

450-550 hp are sweet spot rn for this race IMO, I'll try E92 if Ill have time next..
