Audi R18 TDl. Cockpit race. Tune by me. P1 McLaren. P2 Corvette Z06. P3 TSO30 Hybrid. Fast lap 1:42.897. Pass for the win over the TSO30 Hybrid on lap 5 at Overlook Turn. Winning margin 1:051. The Audi R18 TDI for me is the ultimate high whenever I go up against the TSO30 Hybrid or any other race car of that caliber. I have 4,000 plus miles on the R18 TDI and it has never let me down.


 
I love using my Toyota MINOLTA Toyota 88C-V '89 and I just won and I had a few AI get in my way. I caught the TSO3O on the second to last corner but he is fast down the straight.

I had to crank the top speed back up a little (revving it's balls off at a max of 220kmh for the whole main straight of Grand Valley drove me nuts) but otherwise this is a beast set up. Cheers :)

Edit: finished with a 9'03.xx" on my 2nd attempt. Love it.

If it revs to much for you, just move the final gear to the left a little bit so it does not rev for to long.
 
That's crazy. On my 030 I set it to 280km/h but you might want 300km/h (~190mph) if you're going to slipstream.

TQ!
 
I started with my beloved HSV, and came in 4th twice in a row. Changed to the toaster and killed it easily. I still want to beat this race with the HSV though.

I got a lucky line-up

You'll notice that the TS030 is starting in 4th. My first try was so close.

So once more into the breach I went. I got a personal best.

So it is possible to beat the TS030 with a Honda HSV with the right line-up. However, I think Matsuda was taking it easy on me cause I passed on the hairpin in the 5th lap and his best lap was only 1:47.461.

Great win!!
 
I must admit to hating how fast the AI drove when you bumped them when I first started this seasonal... But now I'm enjoying bumping and messing with the AI and trying to see how far up in the standings you can get the guys starting in the back of the field. That being said.... I present to you.... R. Marchese, AI driver of the Ferrari 330 P4, and winner of a 'Expert Level Seasonal', despite starting in 10th place! :lol: He ran a best lap time of 1:44.753! Can we "humans" run that fast in the 330 P4?
