I sent you a pm with a tune for a car that I used to beat this challenge.

Just watch the throttle in the sharp corners and brake early you should be fine. Like I said Madrid is a bit tough but I did it in a few tries.

Using the Chevelle SS 454. I get understeer EVERYWHERE. But that's expected with an old american car. Cape ring was easy. Got extremely lucky on Daytona. Was losing up to 3 seconds a lap. Until the final lap down the back straight the lead car got stuck behind a backmarker, typical AI can't overtake and I flew past at the end of the banking of the last turn. Struggling with the other 3 events though.

Fellow track-fiends who are just average drivers (aren't most of us?) and have a sizeable muscle car garage will no doubt eventually find the right car to win at Daytona and Eifel, but will experiene some difficulty with Madrid and Laguna Seca, especially against the Corvettes. I even tried the race car model ('63) and the GT 40 (69) with limited success on these two tracks.
The solution: go to the Chaparral 2D ('67), "old reliable", reset the PP and you will almost certainly improve your times. You will probably need 1:35 laps at both Madrid and Laguna Seca, but it's doable. For the point-crazed enthusiasts here, just turn down the PP and the money will roll in...
The 2D does not show up as a participant in any of the races, yet there are no restrictions against using it.

For those struggling with Madrid as i did...
Camaro Z28 RM 69 easily did the trick for me.
Caught the corvette already on 3rd lap.
Its a technical course where handling matters more than power.
I struggled with other cars.
The Mustang F1 perhaps can do it as well with a good tune,its more fun to keep trying.

Managed to win Cape Ring at 411PP with a Corvette C3 Convertible (intended to attempt it at 410pp, but the car broke in... Oh well...) Yielded in 1.3 million with 200% bonus.
Won the race by a near full second. My line was absolute crap, with all the AI in my way and having crashed into nearly all of them. With a really clean line, 400-405pp is possible.

Just beat Daytona in the 69 corvette at 430 pp, $813,600 and a 5:07 race time. The 63 vette is always the rabbit but he gets held up more or less depending on the other cars in the lineup, this race I was 12 seconds behind at the beginning of lap 5 and ended up winning by 4 seconds. The last lap is when the race is won or lost.

I won the first 2 races with the 69 GT40 with no additional tuning to the transmission or areodynamics, etc. I can't seem to get out of 5th place in the remaining three, which puts me ~ 15 seconds behind the corvette leader. For me, the GT40 is spinning out in the corners' (Can't maintain the speed I'd like). So being the noob here, any suggestions?
Managed to win Cape Ring at 400pp with my Corvette Convertible C3 '69. I can safely say this was one of the hardest challenges I ever met playing GT5.
The payout.
I had to practically manhandle a 1.7 ton beast through the swaying AI traffic at high speeds, and I only had 201hp to play with. Life would had been much easier if only the AI would stay in place or respond to the actions of other drivers.
I believe if I push hard enough 395pp is possible, but that's a challenge for another day.

If your having a difficult time getting through Laguna & Madrid. The Ford Mark IV can be tuned down to 480. This car sticks to the ground well especially if you have good throttle control. Adjust ride hight-lower, remove all down force, max ballast, power reductions... Will experiment further. But I won both tracks 1st try with this car. Other cars require more finesse, but NOT THIS ONE!
Just get your tranny set so your about to max out before the end of the longest straight. Tranny set final gear 2.000, top speed 149/152 or so.
Isn't really fair with this car but if your struggling getting 1st, then this is your car. Sticks like glue with min down force.

I can't beat the Laguna seca, should I cut the corners on this stage?
I bought several classic cars, and the best one for me is the Corvette 69', I always get 2nd..
Where can I get the Ford Mark IV car, the one that costs like 15m or 20m?
