Aston Martin DP100, one stop only, turns as good on old tires as new.
Laps 2 seconds faster than anything else I tried.
Just remind this car effectiveness increases greatly by using manual transmission and shortshifting, not only for gas mileage but mainly because absolutely lacks top end power.

Thanks did try Atenza Gr4 but it seems slower now compared to what was originally posted about it. Dp100 is the one I have not tried because in my head it looks too concept to blend into that race, but maybe I will have no choice in the end. I just checked its 19 car I have tried up till now

I just try this recently, struggle to find a car also and i use this one from here .
Of course am not as fast as he is ,i was at 36's-37's and i use a bit more ballast to have a bit more power than what he use .
Need some testing before enter the race to adapt at car behaviour.
One stop for tyres , avoid as possible time penalties ( i get about 6 sec. totally) and don't rush to be in front .
Although it was an anxious win with about 17 sec. from the second one .
The more you " adapt" , the more you gain , isn't a piece of cake for me ,but was duabole and clear it at first try .

One trick to try is you can max out rear downforce, and reduce front downforce on whatever car you're using. This lowers your PP (teehee) and allows you to run more power/less weight and go faster. I'm pretty sure the AI go slower if your difficulty level in the options menu is set to hard too.
So... shrink your PP and ask for it hard?

Unfortunately is not available now , of course that happens quite often but since i bought it ,i use it for deep forest.
At Alsace i use the old mercedes ( known as red pig) which i found it more handful for my taste.
The neoclassical menu i was waiting more than a month to take a group C car as i remember.
Good luck whatever you use anyway.

This is one of my favorites races from The Human Comedy missions! I did it not too long ago with those two tunes:
Citroen GT by @Jeje6410
Ferrari 458 by @praiano63
I remember winning with a comfortable margin.
Today I tried the Alfa Giulia GTAm because that is a very fast car for 620pp, but unfortunately tire wear and fuel economy are't so good compared to Gr.4 cars. The biggest time loss in this race is refueling.
So I went again with the Porsche GT4 Clubsport using this tune by @shaunm80. Very solid. To reach 620pp you can drop ECU to 84% and raise rear downforce to 251.
This Porsche is not the fastest car so you won't be catching anyone on straights, but it's a very stable car and easy to roll through corners. You don't need to worry about refueling. I did a 1-stop, pitting at end of lap 21 to change to a new set of tires. Then it was just a matter of maintaining pace until the last lap. In my race the Nissan Silvia did not pit, but it was driving very slow on the last laps, probably because of worn tires.
One thing to be careful is tire wear on the front right tire. Try to not push your car too hard on corners 9, 10 (before the tunnels) and 14.
and I got myself a nice livery. Bless be liveries creators

I just finished the Race myself using the R33 GT-R V•Spec '97. Rear downforce maxed and front downforce as low as it could go to get it in the PP level required.
It's a very very fast car running in the 1:33.5. I Ran it on a one stop on hards as it's the only race tyre you can use without going above the PP level, with a huge margin at the end over 1 minute 23 seconds difference at the end of the race. Highly recommend this if anyone is stuck!

Guys, one day with my driving experience on the test in question,
I used the 68' Alpine A220 Race Car
Front reach 50
Rear range 200
ECU 81% (base car)
Travels 1.34 / 1.35
A pit stop for the tires after the 30 minute and 20% refueling!!
finish first with second place 1 lap behind!

Ended up using the Jaguar F-Type Gr. 4 car with hards, front downforce at min, rear downforce at max and 144 ballast shifted all the way to the front. Ended up doing a two stop only for tyre's, with a good chunk of shortshifting in the middle of the race you don't need to refuel. Ended up winning by about 8-9 seconds so made for a good race!
