This Kangoo race is pretty fun!

“Built” what I’d call a spec racer to 400pp and getting loads of nose to tail racing:

Spoiler: Tune

Autopolis - Audi TT Cup '16 - Tried a 5RM-5RM strategy. No major blunders. I just couldn't make any real gains on the leaders in this car. There was no rain. Maybe I need to get lucky with the weather to have a shot with the Audi, because it was struggling just to keep up.

The fastest field I saw needed 1:51 or better to catch up with a pit stop for a full refuel and tyres, slowest was around 1:53-54 to win but that had a couple of much slower laps due to rain. Might be possible in the TT if you tune it, otherwise I think you're just rolling the dice until the AI messes up strategy, sometimes they pit an extra time on lap 9.

The AI has some serious rubberband in their arsenal. Not only do the Camaros at Daytona clock in at around 190 mph on a stock engine while real ones are more or less aero limited to 170-180, but the Kangoos on comfort softs and an engine with a redline 1000 rpm lower than what mine has, hang with me on straights and corner with me - and mine has sports softs, and I'm lapping at low 1'20s.

The 812 detuned to 700pp is soo boring, nearly fell asleep in this race

Couldn't catch the Camaro and Viper. P3 it was.

AI Lambo using me as a brake into T1. Bone stock Manu NSX. Grabbed P1 as I was exciting pits with the five leaders ahead of me. They were all super slow exiting pit lane and I passed between them and the pit lines before rejoining the track!

F430 on Softs for a 1.8 second finish.
