My bob cannot win this thing. If you won it, could you tell me in what car was it?

cheers
 
I used the Elise 111R.

NSX Type R '02, RGT '00, M3 CSL/GTR '03 should all be good candidates too.

For some reason bob tanked with my Skyline 370GT Type SP, which drives great for me.
 
I've been having major trouble with this for some reason. Same level 40 bob as I normally used. Aced the 400pp and 650pp 1st time as he normaly does but cant get better than 4th, with and without assistance.
 
I used a RUF RGT but I also won with the Shelby Series One Supercharged and a Honda NSX Type R :)

Elise 111R hands down. I put it on in that car and commented on this post, then made a cup of tea and forgot about the race, came back and he had won 👍
 
detuned Miura P400...my Bob always messed up the final chicane too. Slow your pace each lap to about 3/4 before that and hopefully he wont mess it up...
 
370Z GT Academy version slightly detuned driven by a happy level 37 bob.
After the first lap I thought he'd have no chance catching the NSX that rabbited so i went to make dinner. Came back to find an unexpected win!
 
Im having major trouble with this also. The rolling start is a joke. My bob has 100 yards to the car in front when he crosses the start line. Best Ive managed so far is 4th too.

Later:My word just used the standard Lotus 111R. Not even 500pp and my Bob was infront on lap 5. Makes a bit of a mockery of the PP system. Ive been hammering 500pp cars around here on and off for 2 days and getting nowhere!

Also found that a detune on the 111R monsters the 400pp catagory too.

Thanks People!

Best Lap; 1:58.486 Total Time; 10:17.483 (Placed 1st in Race)
Perfect balence between weight and speed. Shows it on the track too. Oh, and it looks like a Porche.


RE Amemiya AsparaDrink RX7 ★
301BHP/7400rpm - 1200kg
Best Lap; 2:01.406 Total Time; 10:19.252 (Placed 1st in Race)
This tiny racecar beasts when its in front. Around same price as a GTR Proto. Your choice.

Honda HSC '03 ★
322BHP/7100rpm - 1150kg
Best Lap; 2:00.483 Total Time; 10:21.443 (Placed 1st in Race)
Fantasticly surprising! Awesome time with consistent laps from a tiny engine! Handles like a dream!


Toyota 86 GT '12 ★
370BHP/7800rpm - 1255kg
Best Lap; 2:02.683 Total Time; 10:25.854 (Placed 1st in Race)
Winning material, beast of a car. An nice option.


Grand Touring Garage 1970 Ford Mustang Trans-Crammer
434BHP/5100rpm - 1774kg
Best Lap; 2:03.264 Total Time; 10:26.742 (Placed 1st in Race)
A super expensive option for showponies. Don't even bother unless you can cough up a cool $750.000


Nissan GTR Proto '05 ★
427BHP/5100rpm - 1787kg
Best Lap; 2:00.965 Total Time; 10:29.146 (Placed 1st in Race)
You might have to sell your house to afford this bad boy, but he'll win every time, and in style.


Maserati GranTurismo S '08
396BHP/5100rpm - 1454kg
Best Lap; 2:00.885 Total Time; 10:29.771 (Placed 1st in Race)
This crashed and lost about 4 seconds, so its equal with the 86. Great option, but i rather the 86.


Gran Turismo 350Z RS
381BHP/7700rpm - 1522kg
Best Lap; 2:04.101 Total Time; 10:31.502 (Placed 2nd in Race)
Expected more. Nevertheless a solid time which will win for you 80% of the time.


BMW M3 Coupe '07
409BHP/7300rpm - 1674kg
Best Lap; 2:02.687 Total Time; 10:32.228 (Placed 1st in Race)
A reasonable option which will win, but not 100% of the time.


Mitsubishi GTO SR '98
373BHP/6700rpm - 1312kg
Best Lap; 2:04.641 Total Time; 10:34.351 (Placed 3rd in Race)
Expected something like this. Not a good time. Use this car for 400pp races only.



Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG '08
436BHP/7000rpm - 1780kg
Best Lap; 2:03.413 Total Time; 10:39.210 (Placed 2nd in Race)
MONSTER. Fits so much BHP into so little PP. But don't buy it, because a cruiseboat can corner better.


Ferrari California '08
371BHP/6000rpm - 1712kg
Best Lap; 2:05.810 Total Time: 10:40.858 (Placed 3rd in Race)
Dissapointing and expensive. Expected much more from this Italian great.

Slowest 'Best' Lap: 2:05.810 - Ferrari California '08
Fastest Total Time: 10:17.483 - RUF RGT
Slowest Total Time: 10:40.858 - Ferrari California '08
Worst Placing: 3RD - Ferrari California '08 + Mitsubishi GTO SR '98

Smallest Engine: 301BHP - RE Amemiya AsparaDrink RX7 '06
Heaviest Car: 1787kg - Nissan GTR Proto '05
Lightest Car: 1150kg - Honda HSC '03

~Description~

My Bspec driver was not altered throughout the whole testing and made his own decisions.
He gained 1 level during testing which would alter results extremely lightly
All cars used Sports Hard tires as required by the race
All cars were tuned to a top speed of 320kph (200mph) With a Fully Automatic Transmission.
All cars were basically tuned in suspension and LSD.
Most cars have a 50/50 weight ratio for equal performance.
Some cars have increased weight to maxamise BHP (Vice Versa)
Basically, all the cars were tuned so that they take full advantage of their features.
★ = my preferance

~Conclusion~

Getting your hands on a RUF RGT '00 is difficult. It shows up in the used cars and OCD very rarely.
If you can get one, or have one, your set. If not, keep reading.
Other great options are the RE Amemiya AsparaDrink RX7 which is a tad expensive at $500.000. If you
can't afford the RX7 the Honda HSC '03 is a fantastic choice, but even more expensive at $750.000.
But unlike the RX7, the HSC is a prize car in the Grand Valley 300km. Which is the shortest of all
endurance events. If all of that fails, then the Toyota 86 is available for $30.000, but will cost
you a heap for upgrades, as it comes with low BHP. But the Toyota 86 is still easily the cheapest
option. If you want to buy the beast itself, you may. The Nissan GT Proto '05 is available in the
Nissan Dealership for a touch under $450.000 that is the way to go if you want supreme value,
because you can mod the Proto so you may use it in normal A Spec races, and keep a seperate tuning
setup for the 500pp seasonal events. They are my picks, i hope you like them.

Cheers guys

M3 GTR '03 can win with a little coaching even if you don't pump all the way up to 500pp. I think mine is about 480pp and so far it has won each of the 500pp B spec seasonals. My B spec driver is around level 32-34 deepending upon which one I use.
 
I use a challenger from the pcd. Tune it to 500pp and tune the transmission. it wins 90% of the time, depending on the cars.
 
If you fancy using something a bit different. The Honda HSC Concept 03 with a little bit of tuning is a beast at 500pp
 
Elise 111R hands down. I put it on in that car and commented on this post, then made a cup of tea and forgot about the race, came back and he had won 👍

Elise 111R it is too. And for A-spec too for that matter, lovely little nimble thing...
 
Lamborghini Countach LP400 '74 is my favourite choice. It's not only fast and wins more or less every race (unless the crazy Bob spins it which sometimes happens if I'm not cooling them down) but also lots of fun to watch... It's totally different looking to other cars, it squeels like a mad pig in every corner, veers this way and that, and sometimes goes in to corners in a huge black puff of smoke.

Also... Fuji statistics:
best lap: 1:57.528
total tune: 10:06.683

the car has about 350bhp/8000rpm and weighs only 1065kg

It's like a rocket...
 
It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure that I also used the Lambo LP400 '74.

If I remember correctly, I added just enough HP upgrades to put it over the limited, then power-limited it to exactly 500 PP.

I don't recall having any trouble with any of the B-Spec Seasonals. Some of the offline B-Spec were annoying though.
 
For the b-spec 500PP races I used the Honda HSC with very little tuning, by Bobs have had no trouble winning on any track, some of my Bobs are hot headed and some are cool, with minimal coaching.

I use the GT86 concept at 400PP and the Mazda 787B for 650PP, although I swapped to a GTR (academy edition, I think) to win the difficult Monaco race.
