That Shelby is a bear to tame. It’s also what I used to learn the track, win the circuit events, AND learn how to drive with TC0! What a week that was. I’d love to keep using that car, so this sounds like fun.
I’m kinda partial to two different classes. I’m afraid that 650 splits the difference a little too closely because the jump from 600 to 700 is significant, and that stupid transmission glitch makes it too easy to detune some bigger cars. But I’ll give it a shot either way.

I got a victory with Praiano's tune. It's a very fun, 600pp, well-balanced Camaro.
I can't remember the AI difficulty so I'll have to try it again.
edit: it's definitely possible to win on hard difficulty!

Hey mate, your Camaro tune is good for the new events in Watkins Glen
Those Vipers are too damn fast!
But in the end, mission complete!

last lap at bus stop is when I got 2nd place
1st place
Curiously that this time the 03' Viper wasn't even on top5.
1st place

To keep it simpler, I would go for PP650 instead of two classes(600/700)...but I'll take it, as it comes...

I am having a ko+ind of mental blackout at the moment...
I just made two screenshots, one of the race result and one of my car(just a in the post above from Fezzik), but I have no clue how I can get them here into the forum...
Well I don't even know, how I can get those photos out of my PS4...
They do show up in my PS4 gallery(but not in my GT7 Showroom), and there I can click on them and then click on share-but I then I get only three options to share:"Twitter", "Activities" and "Massages"...none of them will help me, to make them show up here in the forum...what did I get or do wrong ?

Well darnit, just when I'd been convinced to run separate classes. I think 6 & 700 is the way to go...if the recent increase in interest is any indication.
You have come to the right place, or at least the right member. Screenshot how-to.
So it appears the interest level has come back up for this. I'll start pulling what data has been submitted so far and we'll go from there!

I hope it made sense.
That may be the best concept yet. Imagine the driver with a 638 PP posting better times than a 699.74 in the same car.

It's a shame this thing doesn't qualify as a valid car for the WG races. Apparently it's not a road car...
Been running it in time trial mode on 600PP and its posting regular 2:04's. Not bad, not bad!

Oh that's some BS! Can you run it on the other course option?

Well rats! The WTC800 is the only way to get the Nova, Rampage, Mach Forty or the Coupe into a race. Maybe these will have to be in a spin-off class as they will be at a distinct disadvantage in the 800.
I can’t figure out how to get ‘track shots’ exported to the app for uploading, so this is the best I’ve got.
Included because the timing of the photo is perfect!
Is sub 10:00 overall going to wind up as the ’brass ring’?
There is no chance at being competitive at the 800. This was on easy and granted I was on RH’s and made a handful of big mistakes, but even if I could shave a minute off I’m in the middle of the pack at best.
EDIT: Both times are DQ’d as I just realized I had RH’s on for both races.

I gave this a go with my 700pp Le Mans tuned Challenger ‘70, wide body wide wheels, engine swapped.
And got this as the result

Well now I feel like a fool. Unless someone were to delve deep into the thread, they wouldn’t know the restrictions intended for this. US-made FR Road Car <700PP Sport/Comfort Tires.I gave this a go with my 700pp Le Mans tuned Challenger ‘70, wide body wide wheels, engine swapped.
And got this as the result
Those are astounding times however, I am not trying to diminish your accomplishment in any way. In fact, I had to DQ some times of my own earlier this week for the same thing. I did pretty good on the retry I thought, until I saw your times! I’m curious how you’ll turn out on Sports, but it doesn’t look like you will have a problem, lol.

As I said, I accept FULL responsibility for that. But thank you, I heavily edited the OP to clarify everything now.
I’d love to see what you can do. Your overall is over a minute faster than mine (RH) and your lap beat mine (RH) by 7 seconds…

With those kind of results, I kind of have to try the tune! Any notable changes to it after you swapped the tires or just crank up the ECU/Restrictor?Here’s the updated result, will update with video tomorrow
Definitely give the tune a go, even for the Le Mans 700 race with RH and heavy wets

I‘ll give the RH version a go at Sarthe and maybe you’ll have the updated SS tune by the time I’m done.
That little sliver of rain, maybe 30-40 seconds worth, did THAT to the track and I had to swap to IM’s to finish.
Then the track dried so quickly my tires were shot for the hot-lap, maddening!
I made a few post-race adjustments, primarily added a SC, Intercooler and Rigidity as the fuel economy was good enough I think it will still turn 3 laps at FM6 (your tune gave me 5 at 3 using an AT). I’d like to touch-up the gearbox a bit as well.
Very nice overall, safe as a bank vault to drive.
