Honda Integra Type R (DC5) Touring Car with oil change and engine stage 3 but no turbo. Used the
GTTCC Season 6 setup by
@TNR_KING_FILO with slightly less extreme brake bias and slightly taller Final Drive.
340bhp, 950kg, 495pp on Heavy Wet tyres. The track was 100% wet start to finish and fairly dark, even though it's 3pm and all the trees have leaves.
A lot of wheel slip under power in gear 2 and 3. Never used gear 1. Tickling the throttle (DS3 trigger R2) helped that, rather than using Traction Control (TCS). Half braking and gentle turning into high speed corners was important - possibly more rear downforce would be worthwhile.
Always like to find an FF that can win. This wasn't easy but I beat the leading Opel Calibra Super Touring Car 1994! Cr1,100,000 prize money in 8 minutes 4 seconds.
Overtook the Calibra on the way onto the long final straight. It didn't take my slipstream but still went past as the road started to climb. I immediately got back into its slipstream. Got half a metre gap just before the bridge so I could pull across onto the racing line. Very careful braking in 3 separate phases from here to the tight right. Nearly overshot the last turn but the Calibra had bottled it through those final sweeping turns.
Surprisingly fun combination thanks to the interesting choice of AI competition.
