What about a 926bhp 400R on Sports Hards?

A 941bhp Z-tune on Sports Soft fronts and Sports Medium rears?

As much as I hate dirt, I'm sooo glad the GT-R event is not GV reverse! The Gr1 at Michelin is OK if you use something other than Gr.1 and the clean race bonus is not an issue.

Okay so the Gr.1 look like a job for the LM55. Not looking forward to Fisherman's ranch but oh well. Hopefully I can do it without going to sleep or conversating with my wife while trying to concentrate

I'm so glad people are picking up on this now I've been using it for anything from 800PP and up since... I got one.

That and the Radical SR3 (even before engine swap) are my cheat codes.

Shame one can't GT-R the whole events.

My selection for tonight.

Made some picks...

I had no idea the Suzuki was 4WD until I saw that it was eligible for the race at Fisherman's Ranch. I wonder how it does in the dirt. Can't wait to find out.

Brought out the nuke once again.

Not the most interesting week, partly because I struggled to find unused cars. Sunday Cup is very easy but at a nice time of day, can use pretty much anything you want. 4WD Challenge is even easier given I won with a 460 PP Jimny, curious to see how slow a car people can win with. One-make requires something quite fast, especially if you don't use race tyres. I went overboard with a fully tuned R34 and won by 30 seconds, I'd guess somewhere around 660-680 PP should be fine. Evolution meeting I also overpowered with a fully tuned Evo 5, AI struggles a bit at Monza so I'd guess you can win with someone not far off stock. Gr.1 at Road Atlanta is usually a fun race given it's timed and goes into the night. AI is very aggressive but also very slow in certain spots which causes a bunch of incidents. Had to restart a few times due to getting absolutely murdered at the first corner, even the race I ended up winning I had a car spin across the track directly in front of me. Wasn't the biggest fan of the Alpine but it got the job done running RS on 10 min stints, fast laps were 1:08 but I never really got comfortable with the car. Main opponent to watch out for is the 908 but it wasn't that quick in my race, the others up front will usually pit with a few mins to go so they're not an issue.

Cars of the week:

Left to right:

To begin the week, I used the Sprinter Trueno 1600GT AE86 (Not the tuned version) - It was only a bit above the recommended PP, and I hadn't driven it before. I chose to put on the Initial D livery, because why not.

Next, I used the Mitsubishi Evolution Final Edition as a rally car. It was a bit of a battle with first place, but I did win.

For the Skyline One Make, I used the Skyline R32, made to look like the Mine's R32. I really should redo this car, as it was very hard to control. I nearly took first, but they had a bit more power than I.

For the Evolution meeting, I used the faux Evolution LM I built a few months back. It made it very easy.

For the GR.1 Prototype Series, I tried quite a few cars, Including the Audi R18 TDI (Something about this car just annoys me, and I don't know why?) and the Mclaren VGT GR.1, I settled on the 908 HDI FAP.

For the car ticket, I got a RUF CTR3, which I sold.

With the money, I brought the Nismo 400R.

Japan Week in Fast & Furious The Game.

What total race times did you encounter guys in the Special Event at hard difficulty ? Aren't they insane partly ? Fastest I've had was 7.16 ... needs consistent 1.48 - 1.49 laps to beat this.

Aren't they insane partly ?

Yup - thus the advice in the article 😁
