I just done it, edited them settings a bit, stiffen the chassis up, and toe the wheels in rather than out, thats what makes it hit the barrier i found.

stiffen the suspension up by lowering it, and the dampers.

LSD 20/30/30

Ride Hight F-29 R -28
Spring Rate F12.8 R12.8
Dampers E F8 R8
Dampers C F4 R4
Anti Roll Bars F7 R7

Camber F1.0 R1.5
Toe F0.25 R0.15

Need to keep an eye on him, he over took first on the 7th lap.

Good Luck :)


Deep forest is easy, keep the same settings and ad 180 MPH to the gear ratio.

Won and easily...even with a crash on lap 3. Took the lead on lap 5 and won by over 10 seconds, even caught the 2J that was leading from the off.
 
I eventually just ran the 2J again and redid the specs 2 or 3 times.

Ended up with 162 top speed, fully lowered, damper extensions upto 9 and brak bias 7/8
 
Toyota 7 (fully modded) for Deep forest, and Chaperrel 2D race car (fully modded) for Cote d'Azure, the downforce created by the 2 fans on the back of the 2D help a lot with the amount of corners on that track.

Toyota 7 is not much good for Cote d'Azure IMHO
 
I used toyota 7 with the mid rpm turbo installed for cote as you are rarely flat out for a long time. I did however get lucky on the second lap when the 2J suddelnly parked itself infront of that last turn stopping all traffic, my bob barely squeeking by. After that it was just keep the little arrow on my specific bobs preference.
 
I hate to be one of those people that keeps bugging... but I'm bumping this 'cause I didn't see anyone address my question specifically, and I was really hoping to hear some input from someone that might have finished this race in first place, doing it this way; without a multi-million dollar car.

I'm trying to win this B-Spec race, the Historical Racing Car Cup on Expert, with a NON-multi-million dollar car. That means I don't want to use any of the crazy expensive cars like the Toyota 7, either of the Chaparrals, the Jaguar XJ13, or the Ferrari 330, none of those or the like. I want to beat this using a more regular (and less expensive) car.

I've tried using several different cars, like: the '70 Dodge Challenger R/T (race-modified), the '71 Plymouth Cuda 440, the '70 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454, the '74 Lamborghini Countach LP400 (car I successfully won it on a-spec with), even a '66 AC Cars 427 S/C. All of these cars have been upgraded to their maximum, I'm using racing medium tires, and I've tuned the cars to the best of my ability. I'm also performing an oil change prior to each race.

The closest I've managed is second place, and that was using the Challenger. We lost to the Toyota 7, of course. The Challenger is the only one that can hold its own; the other cars just can't get it done. The Cuda and the Chevelle are just too darn big and heavy, the AC Cars 427 comes close, but still the Challenger is the closest to winning. We CAN actually manage to pass the Toyota 7 with the Challenger and sit in first place, but only temporarily; once we hit the long final straightaway, that Toyota 7 passes us in the blink of an eye. I believe I remember reading that somebody else actually managed a win using the Challenger. yes/no?

I'd be interested in hearing some advice on perhaps other cars to try, or tuning specs on some suggested cars, etc. But as I said, I'd really like to finish first on this b-spec race in a NON-multi-million dollar car; not so much for money reasons, but just because I want to be unconventional. Ideas? Thanks in advance! :)
 
I have actually lost count at how many times I have tried this now... I have tried the Toyota 7, classic GT40, Lambo Countach, all of my drivers and no luck... the best I have got is 4th.

I nearly have all of the endurance races done yet I cant get this damn Expert race done.
 
Anyyone want to let me borrow a 2J for these two races in B-Spec? I literally have everything beat in B-Spec except for the Historic Cup and the Endurance Races. I've tried the Toyota 7 over and over and can't get past 3rd or so.

I just can't see spending $14 million to buy this.

Hey guys and gals,

First post here.

I'm absolutely sick and tired of B-Spec Expert Historic Car Cup - Cote D'Azur track. I'm using the Toyota 7 Race Car '70

I don't know what I'm missing here, but I've tried keeping Bob at the middle of his hot cold bar, I've tried keeping him hot, I've tried keeping him halfway between the middle and hot, and the same with cold.

No matter what I try my driver is retarded. Cars will spin out in the chicane and he will ram them instead of going around them, like the cars ahead and behind him do. He will also stop while cars reverse across the track and wait for them to straighten out and go ahead of him. Bob has no problem with allowing someone the courtesy of an inside or outside pass at a corner. He just loves to slow down to allow a car behind him to push through on the inside for an easy pass...and if the pass comes from the outside, instead of blocking himout, Bob kindly moves over to allow the guy behind him past.

Bob is level 21 using intermediate racing tires (I've tried hard too) and using the follwing settings Dotini posted: (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=140517)

"

FYI, here's a workable setup for the Monaco Historic race:
Ride Height------------ -20 / -20
Springs-----------------11.5 (F) / 12.5.0 (R)
Dampers (Ext'n)-------6 (F) / 5 (R)
Dampers (comp)-------5 (F) / 4 (R)
Anti-Roll Bars-----------6 / 5
Camber------------------1.5 (F) / 1.5 (R)
Toe-----------------------0.00 (F) / + 0.40 (R)
LSD----------------------9-36-18
Brakes-------------------5/4
Downforce---------------Maximum F & R
Speed/gear..................debatable, but 155 to 162 will work.

"

The best I can get is 4th place, trying all possible combinations (of pace up and pace down) that I can think of. Am I missing something ? I don't tell him to pass until he's running up on someone - meaning I don't spam the pass button all race, only when there is an opportunity to pass. When he's not trying to pass I've tried spamming pace up, pace down and all different combinations to no avail.

Does anyone see anything that I might be missing that can help me finally win this race ? My dude is level 21, he should easily be able to win this race by now.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !

Has anyone completed this on B-Spec? Cause my driver keeps getting lost on the city circuit.

For A-Spec i used a Toyota 7 race car, gold first try, give the thing to my B-Spec driver and he keeps crashing. So can anyone please tell me what car/setup they used for this B-Spec race, or how to avoid the insane A.S. driving into walls on that track.
 
Modify it to the max so it has ~900 HP, keep him below 80% hot on the bottom half of the course or he will crash on the chicane and the corner before the start/finish line. Make sure no Chaparral 2Js start in the top 3 positions. I had the transmission set for 300 kph, everything else was stock.
 
I had a few goes in the Toyota 7 as well and eventually gave up after Bob kept making stupid mistakes. Changed to the Jaguar XJ13 and he breezed it!

Thanks, My Toyota 7 was brand new cause i won it, put 30,000C of turbo on it, runs 880bhp, but the B-Spec driver still gets lost on that Cote D'Azur track, and the car wheel spins too much for to accelerate out of it.

This sounds like a good method, however for those of us that don't have Cr.20,000,000?
 
I too really struggled with this one early on and tried soooo many times. In all honesty, if your Bob is still in his early twenties you may be better just skipping this race until he's a little more experienced. I returned to it with a level 30 Bob and he peached it first time in the same Toyota 7 he must have failed in dozens of times before!

The gorgeous Alfa prize car is worth the wait:)
 
My guy couldn't do it in the toyota 7 either. He kept crashing at the left hander after the swimming pool chicane.

Changed to a 2J with turbo upgrades and he destroyed them.
 
Well I just figured this mongrel out. Its all about setups and was said earlier. Using the Toyota 70, I put all downforce to max, the gears setup for good acceleration (about 270 or 280 from memory) and put the acceleration setting on the differential up about 7 points.

I pushed my driver (level 18) reasonably hard but he had enough physical strength to get through it all. The trick is not to push him too hard or he will make silly errors that are basically bad A.I. in my opinion. However, that being said, you must make allowances within your own gameplay to allow for the A.I..

Follow the above to your own style and you should take this race out and many more ;)
 
all cars do the same mistake here... if they try to overtake after tunel... they will hang on the wall and all other cars crashes in..

try to pace down in the s cornors before the tunnel

just set the overtakes right... best way is start/finish line then up hill, and down hill before the s cornors

AI do the same fail... if the try to overtake they crash in that wall... just check it out.. bit funny ^^


won it with the toyota 7
 
what a frustrating race, I had the mark 4 early on and couldnt beat it in a or b, then finally got the 7 and managed to gold the Aspec, but B, i had the same problems, hitting the wall at the bottom of the track. that 2J is unreal, I want to get one myself just to see if its that much better, but I also cant see spending 14 mil for it.


I might go back and try again with the 7 since my lead driver is almost at L28 and see how he does.
 
Hey, thanks peeps for the info on beating monaco.

It really helped when I reduced brakes to 2/1 and transmission max 240km using the Toyota 7. Probably attempted to beat this 15 times, 2nd being my best, until finally had the 2J behind me on grid and it crashed into barrier. I had a flawless run, speed DOWN after last hairpin down hill, then again at top of straight to make sure BOB doesnt attempt an overtake. Then hit speed up after passing that stupid bend, and also wait to press overtake until after last turn aswell. You should catch 1st by 6th lap, then hope to pass up the hill. Back off once in front and hope the 2J doesnt find a way through pack.

Actually kinda fun having close races in bspec, but also great being able to get Bob to front on most races and come back after hes earnt you $ and a prize car.
 
I won the Toyota 7 race car and I thought that maby my lv 28 B-spec driver would be able to destroy all the oponents, he is allowed Racing Medium which is very good and his car also has a huuuge turbo giving it 917bhp, but he still manages to come near the end of the pack after the first corner :( I managed to do it first time in the Buick, easy, so why cant he seem to do it? sad times :crazy:
 
Chaparral 2J, stock, still on racing hards, slightly aggressive lvl 30 bob, no babysitting, 1st by 2nd lap, never looked back.

I'd pay the OCD a visit before it refreshes.
 
Chaparral 2J is sitting in the OCD waiting for you... what you need first are the 14+ million credits ;)

I tried repeatedly with a stock Toyota 7 and my bob was having none of it, even with constant babysitting. Same bob took a stroll round monaco with the 2J.
 
:) well I'm guessing the OCD is going to reset when seasonal #2 closes, so I'd be quick to russle up some more cash ;)
