Overpowering the race is one thing, but then there's this approach. The same car as on Grand Valley some time ago but now with a GT1 racing modification inspired livery.

I thought I was fast with a 6'44" 😅. Still faster than the record of the Zonda R irl though 😌.


1/ Suzuka - 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - stock Crown with sport soft tyres - 490pp - ironically the AI chose the exact same car to finish 2nd, this car weighs 1600kgs but corners surprisingly well.

2/ Sardegna - 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Impreza WRC - hit the pitwall every lap and even took a detour via the pits but no issues for claiming that victory.

3/ Dragon Trail - 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Gallardo V10 with mounted turbo at +1000hp - had a lot of fun power sliding but took a bit too far on the last laps, Beauvois did not hesitate to claim 1st place.

4/ Nordschleife - 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Godzilla thundered through the woods and devoured the competition before the long back straight. The Nürburgring livery I tailored suited it perfectly in this location.

5/ Grand Valley -🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Mazda 787B with turbo - took the fastest lap but overall lost too much time in the slower corners due to lack of mechanical grip. Reaching 350kmh on the straight and downhill the fast S curves wasn't efficient enough.

So I brought the Formula car and was happy to wrap it up.

Dang the Special Event this week is fast! I pulled out my Z-tune with only one modification - High-RPM turbocharger. It had the top end speed but the default tires couldn't keep up with the power of that turbo.

In fact the only tires that could handle the power were the RS tires but that created another issue, lots of crashing lol.

I hardly use these tires on any car so I had to learn how to handle the grip and how sudden it pulls the weight transfer around the car. This was quite a challenge at the Nürb. But I pushed through and had a blast trying to catch the leader and pass him in the last few corners.
