Interesting phenomena -- Opponent -- Minolta Toyota 88C (D. Allison [Bob]) if you get to his inside on a tight turn and force him to the berm and he has to downshift to first gear he can't upshift until he gets a bump from behind. Gets stuck in first gear and can't get out.

Yea I noticed that too, but it was not just that car it seemed to be most of them that did it, they just seem to slow down when you go to pass them.

Here's My tune for this race
Chaparral 2X VGT - Tuned for The 24-Minute of Le Mans Race & Expert Level Racecar Challenge (2/10/2019 to 3/9/2016)

Best Lap= 1:16.000 and about 10 to 15 secs ahead of 2nd place

 

[Racin510s]

Almost too easy in the 2X. I even did 2 360's and still won by just over 6 sec. I had forgotten I had the steering sensitivity set to 4 on my DS3. I have to set it at 0 for the 2X because it steers on rails. After that minor adjustment easy win. Now to try some other cars.

 

[Polsixe]

Peugeot Vision Gran Turismo (699PP RH)

A very nice car for this track. Brake in the right places and you will have no issues winning this race.

Yes, also found this the best. Fairly easy to do the low 1:18s needed and I found it better than the LM55. January's Seasonal at the Ring was tough, this one much easier.

 

[RuSTeD]

Hellow fellows, newbie here
Well, i made it with my Audi r18 tdi anniversary Edition at the 3. try. Best Lap was an 1.16.7xx. I actually hate those kind of cars, i always struggle with their acceleration and handling, that's why it took 3 tries for me. But it isn't that hard actually.
I found the last seasonal harder thought i've made it first time with my raybrig hsv in 6.35.xxx.

 

[flynch3211]

ok I have to admit that I am starting to get the hang with the 2x. Fonished second with 0.181 secs behind a courage. Tried with the 2j, but i didn't succeed. I crash a lot with the 2j.

@nowcontrol Thank you for your tireless work in setting up these forums.

Completely agree. @nowcontrol - you're the man! 👍

[MoparGTS]

You guys are right about the 2X. That sucker is way fast!

 

[GT6champNK_69]

In my first go with the Jaguar XJR-9'88, I'd come third with it, heck, I'd then choosed my Audi R8 LMP1'01 race car tune, and come first, my fastest lap time was 1:16.4, and I was 10 seconds faster than number 2 driver.

 

[steve nfs]

Not familiar with both (car & track), but this is much stressful than I thought. Need to practice more from this track !

 

[Mt. Lynx]

I really have to speak up about the rubberbanding AI. I first tried the Bentley. 3rd was my best. AI total time 8:17. I then tried the R18. 2nd. AI total time 8:19.
I then just wanted to get it over with, so I used the C60 hybride (won by 8s, and even had a spin). 1st place. But - AI total time 8:25! What's up with that? If I'd had that total time against me in the Bentley, I'd have won!

 

[LM7325]

I felt bad for the Deltawing. He was having a real hard time. This track has no real flow to it. It seems unfinished, reminds me of an area under road construction in places. Just needs the equipment, and men holding stop/slow signs through the esses to explain the AI stupidity there.

 

[Nihamavasa72]

for its definitvely the 787B Stealth Model.
Tryed same else (R18, both courage Peugeot a Minolta) but in the end the 787B is a safe win by a couple of seconds each time ... even if the old Toyota 7 trys to push me of the track ... have to find him in the pitlane to have a talk to him i think

fastes lap for the 787B is 1.16.517 so far , and i know i lost a couple of tenth her and there

here is my "safety first" setup i used.

Tyres: RH
Suspension:
80 , 80
16.50 , 18.00
5 , 4
7 , 5
6 , 7
0.0 , 0.0
-0.15 , +0.50 (change to rear +0.45 and it felt a bit slipery on the outline but fast anyway)
Brakes:
7 , 7
Gear:
350 autosetup
LSD:
10 , 25 , 20 (even more if you feel safe with throttle)
Turbo:
high RPM (do less here and its a bit closer)
Downforce:
525 , 725

ENJOY

used TC 1, AS on, SRF on, ABS 1, controller sensivity +5 for this try but adjust this as you prefere

maybe i should reduce controller sensivity in general, any suggestions ?

 

[openupyreyes]

787B all the way. I'm not great at this game but this track isn't hard to run consistent 1:15 lap times on.

 

[GTRufus]

The Sauber Mercedes C9 kills it :9

 

[TonyJZX]

I'm not very good with the 700hp Le Mans class and I hate the A1 Ring.

I did it in a 58% 200kg 2X but its the sort of thing that you get 6th. Then 4th. Then 3rd. Then 2nd. Then GOLD!

So its chipping away at the time.

To be fair the A1 ring isnt too bad in that it seems simple but the corners have their own flavor and complexity.

 

[nursemorph]

Tried this one with the Peugeot VGT but, after 2 attempts, I'd managed 3rd twice with a best lap time of a high 17 as I struggled with truning it, despite some tweaks to shaun's tune on it..switched to the Mazda 55 one and won first time out by 20 seconds and 23 seconds on the second try with a best lap of a mid 14 as the Mazda is much more responsive. On both the Mazda runs, I overtook the Deltawing late in the final lap...bless it!

 

[iharrison9]

Far to easy to be called an Expert challenge, usually takes me a couple of days to learn track and experiment with different cars and settings. First attempt with Mazda LM55 and stock just slight power reduction. Will be trying some slower cars to make it more of a challenge.

 

[Scrapple22]

2X all the way, all day long! Best lap so far is 1:14.639. Thanks for the tips: steering sensitivity to 0 and ballast to make 49:51. This car is finally drivable!

 

[LM7325]

2X is good if you are grinding this. Glad to see the Peugeot VGT getting some love on this one. Might try out some of the Pikes Peak cars for fun later.

very easy win with PEUGEOT 905B EVO 1 BIS LM '92 // 700PP //......about 8.01.xxx with first try

Brought out the 905 and added Praiano's tune...great car and setup. Got Gold on first try by 3.8 seconds even with a slight excursion into the grass. Good tune.

 

[srpst23]

I too used the Priano tuned 905. It took a few tries for me, but very stable, good tune. Glad I didn't have to resort to the 2X.

 

[davidt33]

This is one hard race lord amighty. Kinda fun though the challenge.
Tried all sort of different cars. Best I've been able to make thus far is with the Peugeot VGT placing 6th.
This is an awesome car though both handling and looks.
Gonna try Shaunm80's tune with it just now and see if it makes a difference.

 

[davidt33]

Ok just did the Peugeot VGT with Shaunm80's tune and improved from 6th to 4th place which is a good leap.
I could feel the difference from the get go catching up to the cars. Gonna try again to see if I can improve more.
Shaun you the man. Cheers.

 

[davidt33]

Just tried the Chaparral 2X VGT with the Brewguy44 tune and happy to announce I got a 3rd place finish. Best car and tune for me thus far. Man that was one exciting ride. The burst of energy is amazing and so is the cornering ability.
Happy camper. I'll be trying again to best that. Had loads of fun.
