Did you try with a Hot driver ? I had much better result with em

I mean, not during the race, but when you look at it in your driver list. Theres cool and hot driver. Hot driver are much better at overtaking but will lose strenght faster so you have to pace them down once they reach the 1st place.

I eventually completed Core d'Azur with the 2J with Stage 3 Turbo. I found that giving any commands resulted in contact with the barrier before the Chicane and just before the Start/Finish "straight". Not sure whether I went with my cool driver or a hot one. Won comfortably though. I did keep a watchful eye on the rest of the field in case they got close, but it never happened so I was able to avoid commands.

Ok I finished in 6th with the above setup, but only because the AI cars started crashing.

Do this, get a Chaparral Race car 2J, the latest model not the oldest. I believe it's the 2J, whichever is most current. Tune the gearbox to about 190mph or less, supe it up to the max, and use a mid to cool personality, closer to mid driver. I smoked the competition on the deep forest track, but on cote d'azur, b-spec bob overtook 1st place on the very last lap on the 3rd turn. Keep him 3/4 away from Cold, towards Hot. Remember if B Spec Bob does well for the most part, the competition will drive awkwardly. Time your overtakes properly, and avoid spins by adding LSD if applicable.
Personality of driver
Cool----------[Right Here]---Mid-----------Hot
Personality while driving
Cool-------------Mid---[Right Here]--------Hot
If you keep him like that for the most part you should be fine. In the beginning he'll be up on hot which should be okay. But once your in second keep his personality mid to hot. My Bob beat this, level 14.
That's how my Bob won that race, the 1st place 2J was doing the same thing and Bob was able to catch up before almost hitting it himself.

No you dont need the 2J to win. If you tune the Toyota 7 its capable to win the race. A hot head bob would be the best choice of driver.

My guy won this with a tuned Toyota 7, although we got a lucky break when not just one but both the Chaparrals in the race crashed in the first 4 laps.. once he was in front, it was a simple case of spamming the maintain pace button.

There seams to be 2 AI configurations for this race. In one of them the 2J in lead will crash during 1st lap. If you can pass the 2J just after he crashed it possible to grab the win. 2nd configuration the 2J in the lead will crash during lap 7 or 8, cant remember exactly, its a easy pass and with a tuned Toyota 7 youll have the victory in your pockett. Hot headed bobs will be the better driver choice. Make sure you at least tune the gear ratio and the ride hight of the car. BTW keep the hot head driver in max hot position all the time.

Level 23 and the Toyota 7 is fully upgraded.
Easier said than done... the only time my driver is that cool is when hes right at the back of the field miles from any other cars or miles ahead of the field.
The same thing is happening, I just finished in 4th place because 3 cars crashed at the final turn and bob just so happened to push his way through the cars first.

Why am I not allowed to use the XJ13 in this race yet an XJ13 seams to be winning first place every time.

I did this earlyer today on a-spec. First i used the mazda furrai to beat the "like the wind" event (a-spec) and unlocked the minolta 89C and gave this to B-spec to do the "like the wind" which unlocked the Toyota 7 which i then used to do the historic race. I stuck a stage 3 turbo on it and geared it up after an oil change. Took me 4 goes to do deep forrest as i kept spinning off but did Monaco on my first try.

I used my XJ13 and won both races with it. Donno what the issue with yours is.
So you CAN win these races with a Jag XJ13. My Bob was actually underleveled. Just took some careful coaching and a very fortuitous starting grid for both races.
I kept running them in the background as I worked at my computer. Just let him grind it until I saw that there was only one Toyota 7 in the race, and it started near the back of the pack. (I was able to consistently coach my guy to 2nd in both races. A Toyo 7 always won though.) I coached him to a win in both those races, with the 7 taking 4th in one and a hard-charging 2nd in the other. Another lap and it woulda passed me.
The 2J's & 2D's were always competative, but I could always coach my guy in his Jag ahead of them. Only the 7 was trouble for me.
I've since won the 7 via the B-Spec "Like The Wind" race. An on-level Bob walks away with this race in a 7 himself.

Almost did it for me too, if the 2J wouldn't be in front in the first lap already... The 2J started 5th, but managed to get to the front immediately apparently, too bad for me.. But my lv 14 driver almost won, don't use my lv 21 driver, that one is not too happy now and might have a too cool personality. Already tried numerous times with him, now changed and seems I can win the race, as long as the 2J doesn't get in front too soon. Too bad that if your driver overtakes another car in the hairpin after the casino, he always gets behind the other car just before the Loews hairpin... Otherwise my lv 14 would have won, overtook the 2J in the last lap there, but let the 2J pass again... At least I'm confident my driver will win next time, if he's fortunate enough.
