A lot of fun throwing around an old, 572 PP, aerodynamically-challenged rally car with mud flaps that can beat the supercars of today!

Yes! I found the 2J to be excellent in this race, much better than I expected. I even used the same tune from the Midfield race a while back.
Funny to see you call it the Toaster. I always refer to it as the Fridge. I guess it's just like a dependable kitchen utensil.

Cockpit race. Replay view. Clean race. No Aids. Tune from Disabled Racer. P1 Bugatti. P2 Bugatti. P3 FXX.

Silverstone isn't my favorite one, especially when I encountered the FXX the first time I tried this event.
I picked the beautiful Corvette Z06 (C6) LM Race Car. Made some silly mistakes when battling with a McLaren F1.
Then two Veyrons were the best in the field but they were no match, I caught the twins during third lap and made a safe trip to the finish line.

👍 S4 It might even win when driving on the grass right next to the track.A lot of fun throwing around an old, 572 PP, aerodynamically-challenged rally car with mud flaps that can beat the supercars of today!

I really wish that was a Premium car. It's so much money for a Standard. I despise Rally events, but I love the way this car looks. Maybe I'll pick one up soon.A lot of fun throwing around an old, 572 PP, aerodynamically-challenged rally car with mud flaps that can beat the supercars of today!

Saw the P1 AI go off at turn 16 today. The left into the Club Complex after Vale. I'm in the Nissan LMP2. Haven't seen them make any mistakes in this event yet, and I've ran it probably 30 times.

Not my favorite track. Way too wide and if you take a different line than the AI they wind up colliding with you coming out of a corner.
Also, probably already mentioned, but why non-race car AI for a race car event? Nevertheless...
Was getting killed by at least 10 seconds (don't recall the leader) with the HSV, the 2D and the closest I got was a silver with the Zytek. Wound up winning by 10 seconds with the TS030. Over and done with.

I won with the Loctite but the Takata Dome is faster with less weight and HP versus FXX. Again thank you for leading me to this great find!!

Ah, another event that reveals how bad the PP values of cars are at predicting their lapping capability. Case in point: my first attempt at this race was with the Nissan GT-R GT3 Base Model. Got annihilated by the FXX. Decided to try the TS030 and was around 11 seconds faster a lap. Combined with the fact that I got the Veyron as the rabbit, the race went from (nearly) impossible to incredibly easy.
This kind of disparity in difficulty is incredibly annoying and a large part of it comes from the fact that the PP rating of the race really doesn’t tell you what car to use. The GT-R GT3 and the TS030 are in totally different performance categories, but their PP ratings say they’re not. I really hope they fix this in GT7. Balance of performance in real racing is a challenge for race organizers, but this is a game, and they can test the cars to see how fast they are. They should know the TS030 with its power turned down a bit is enormously faster than a typical 600 PP race car.
(The unpredictable rabbits don’t help, either, since there’s basically two different versions of this event you can be randomly assigned. But they could tune the difficulty of the event better if they could better predict the performance of the car the player will be bringing to the event.)
(Actually, I believe all the LMP1 hybrids run TC due to the unpredictable power delivery when the hybrid system engages.)

For what it's worth, the real car runs traction control for precisely this reason.

Use the 2J. It's perfect for a flat track like this. You'll win by at least 30 seconds every time. However, against the FXX,you have to have a pretty error-free drive. As long as you do that you'll still beat by 5 or 10 seconds. I'm not a great driver, so you guys shoul do even better. I typically finish right around 9 minutes.
This track is easy money if you need it. Almost 500K for first place. Hope this helps!

Found another car that can beat the FXX.... Even with my mediocre tune and a few driving mistakes. Definitely room for some time improvement with a good tune and better driving.

Ran a few times since it was good for money and found that the Huarya and FXX seem to be the tougher of the rabbits by far. If you just need to win it, go until you see the Veyron or preferably the MP4 Mclaren and neither of the other ones. I was able to beat it handily with the 2J, Toyota TS030, and a HSV. One race with a 25 second lead on the leader. I'm no time trial leader by a long shot so it can be done with a decent run.
The Toyota seemed to get the best time for me, but that might just be my driving style for the track or luck.

There is one field that is significantly slower than the Veyron rabbit field. If you want an easy win, look for the field with a Ford GT on the pole..... It is insanely slow compared to the other rabbits! I have probably race this seasonal 100 times and have only come across the Ford GT rabbit field one time. Has anyone else had the Ford GT as the rabbit?

Wow, that one's even slower than the Corvette rabbit I had. These slow fields seem to be extremely rare, but they happen from time to time.

GT-R LM Nismo for the win!!!! Although if I had to race the FXX there'd be no way I could've won.

Yep, I've had it once, and proceeded to run the race 7 times with that field to rack up the credits! Haven't seen it again, though...

Just before this events ends, and I needed some easy credits, so driving the Toyota Hybrid Thing.
It made the freaky FXX nervous like a rabbit : )
