Back on topic this is the grid I use for cars like the FXXK, P1 GTR, Zonda R.
There semi race spec with HP between 700 and 1000HP cause I like the hp like that of course you can tune the hp for each car to be closer to each other.

Here's my easiest/cheapest grid set-up - 1980s-90s BTCCs. All of them are tuned to be in the range of 593-608pp. It's basically the Toyotas that are above 600pp to keep them competitive with the rest. Slap racing hards, exhausts, manifolds, brakes, brake pads, filters, and and weight reduction 3s on them and then use the power limiter until they're in that range. For races, I use tyre wear x5 and fuel x6, damage heavy and boost weak.
If you want an added challenge, nerf your car for power until you're in the 570-575pp range. Enjoy

This helps a lot, my son actually starting to test these cars. Let's see how that will be, as almost hundred PP difference ist too much because these cars getting overlapped quick. But like you said I can tune them to get similar PPs.
Do you have any recommendations for which cars are too bad with fuel consumption to compete from that pack? As these cars will always participate in endurance races for at least 30mins to an hour.
Thank you a lot for this. Now it's my son's turn to test all these

We came back from playing football outside and being at the lake the rest of the day. My son started immediately testing the Ferrari. Let's see if that's an option for him. He wants to compete with the Ford GT LM Group 3 car against a Ferrari (not the 458 GT3 as he got it in his GTWC League), and that's maybe the candidate for it.
If the fuel consumption will be too bad to compete, along with other road cars, then I am thinking about to turn fuel consumption off, like in Formula One where they just switch tires. Right now he doesn't let me do that, as 24 hours of LeMans doesn't work in real life without that. But let's see how he likes that Ferrari against his Ford.

I have two grids for old muscle cars...
One is inspired by the classic TransAm series from 1966-72, and has only Mustangs(Boss. Mach-1 and the Shelby GT350),Camaros,Challengers and Pontiac Fire Birds in it (the Firebirds in GT7 are from 76, but the first Firebirds showed up in 1972 or so in the original TransAm series, so for me that's accurate to have them there), some with original TransAm liveries(and driver names), one Petty Nascar livery and the reast are originals by myself...
In the other one I substituted the Firebirds for Pontiac GTOs and also adedd two Superbees to the mix...
I usually use RH tires for all car and tune them around 620pp or 650pp...if I have more than one model from the same car, I tune them differently(so there are some that are light with less power, some are more powerfull but also heavier, some have spoilers some don't, some are engine swapped)...but all cars have racing suspension, racing breaks and racing break pads, racing transmission and a racing clutch...
In most of the races the Bosses and Mach-1 are dominant, in the TransAm grid the Pontiac Firebirds are on par with the Mustangs...

Simply outstanding!You can still keep the Firebird in your grid. I made these just for that purpose.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the recent patch but I've noticed in Custom races on professional the other cars seem to have found some pace which is nice however (and I've heard this before previously but never seen it) some tracks seem to now exhibit quite a lot of stuttering in VR.
For example the first right-hander off the start finish line on Nürburgring and especially on Brands Hatch ,druids corner lap after lap even with the cars spaced out is twitching and jerking all over the shop , anyone else noticed this and if so is it just with the most recent patch?

Can always buy ten of something, leave them relatively stock, like my skylines here, and apply community liveries for them. Looks a picture!

After stumbling upon this thread at the weekend, and reading through all 53 pages, here is A.I. Mika Häkkinen destroying the field of my custom grid in a 15 min endurance race.
I’ve gone for a Rennsport/historic touring car line up but I feel that the Ferrari and Skyline are a bit out of place. Any suggestions on what could take their place?
Häkkinen’s 911 Turbo is hugely overpowered, so I need to either ban it or take a stack of performance points off it.

You’ve got the CSL in there, the Skyline is the right era for the CSL. Also works as it’s got rear seats. Also, a detuned ‘90 R32 with 5:95 torque split. However, if you want to replace the Ferrari(I use it as a Group 5 car, versus the Pantera, BB512, Dino, CSL ‘73, etc.), you can use the R5.
Maybe add the GTI with a Turbo or engine swap. ‘88 Supra(has rear seats), ‘88 & ‘90 Silvias work as touring cars.
Your grid is fine the way you want it. There are real life series that have such a mix of cars.

Fantastic. Thanks for the info. There’s also that huge Mercedes AMG thing from the early 70s, might give that a go when it becomes available. I like the idea of a Renault 5 Turbo and a Golf or two. I wanted to keep it 70s/80s which is why I’ve left the R32 out but I might add it now. Ideally would like an M1 Pro car.

Your 308 makes a good alternative for the M1(I believe someone has disguised it with an M1 livery-or maybe the Pantera?). The aforementioned BB512 with widebody and heck, the ‘88 Countach and Merak.
Everyone here have built some fine alternatives to make their dream grids.
A man who loves his touring car history, great to see those old names again even in a game setting. Well done mate.

I filled out my grid, and this is the most enjoyable experience I’ve had with a racing game for some time.
All cars a between 573-574 PP but I’ve had to nerf the 71 CSL because the power to weight ratio is ridiculous compared to the other cars with the same performance points, and also the yellow Ferrari is very OP. I have restricted its power as much as I can and had to add weight to get it to the same PP as the other cars but it still slays. At Spa it climbed from the back of the field to a top six position in a 20 minute race, but then had to pit for fuel with a few minutes remaining and so lost all its places. I’m assuming this was because it’s so heavy but there is no way I can lower the weight down and maintain a competitive PP as I can’t reduce its power any more. So I may have to exclude this car which is a pity because it looks so cool.

Custom GT2’s complete. Going to test them first before buying any duplicates
Nice! Which car has the most torque? When I create my GT4 field, I have to adjust the AMG GT R. Massive torque figures over the other cars.
- 337
- England
Here’s the torque for each car:
Amg 66
Vulcan 60.4
Ferarri 45.6
Porsche 95.5
Chevvy 70.6
Ford 69.6
M20 68.3
Lambo 54
The porsche is definitely OP and the lambo slightly underpowered. The Ferrari might struggle a fair bit. Haven’t had a chance to test them all in a race yet to see how it goes

NASCAR running the Glen this weekend. Thinking about putting together a grid for a condensed run. 20 lapper, high fuel & tire wear.

I'm about to complete the 1st GR.4 custom championship (10 races). I'm having much fun, now I have a purpose of playing GT7 single player.
On this last race, many drivers can finish in first, I'm not too confident in wining the championship. I just discovered that I'm not so consistent doing 30 laps (with 2 or 3 stops) in many tracks

The Porsche Carrera 964 is available in the used car showroom so I’m thinking about buying 20 to recreate an early 90’s Carrera Cup. Does anyone have any tips on what tuning/aero parts I should buy to make them as close the actual series as is possible?
This is the set up I use for the series. Last ran these cars in December. You can use the air ducts and just the roll cage. Major problem is the rear automatic Wing hasn’t functioned since debut. Wish PD would activate it.

Great. Thanks so much. I’ll buy one and try it before I get another 19. Seems like they were pretty close to stock.This is the set up I use for the series. Last ran these cars in December.

Pretty much. You can choose to keep the stock wheels as well. I went with the BBS three-piece to have the option of colouring the wheel center for certain cars.

This is a real world set up for the 996 & 997 from Porsche Cup Australia
2001 and/or 2008 Porsche Carrera Cup
Anyone looking to make a Carrera Cup, Supercup series? I'm researching settings for both year models. So far, the transmission gearing for the 996, is close to the real thing. When selecting Fully Customised Transmission, the 6th gear and Final Gear are identical: Real Getrag G96/61 6 speed...

You'll be able to find a real world 993 set up.
