Probably around 5 points above stock. That's what the others have been running around. I ran the tt first this time so I could tune however I wanted to for the race.

Thank you, but I keep the academy cars stock.
And never use the drive line.
I'm sure I'll find the second somewhere this week.
And if I don't, than another change next week in another car and another track
No big deal.
@ HaylRayzor and Kwicko: that's some useful advice. I'll try that.
Edit: after the morningcoffee I had another go, and tot 1:24.3xx

finally beat the tokyo race after half a day..
but had to use some upgrades: ecu, race filter, sports intake and catalyst.
stock tune on everything else and no driver aids (except abs1).
i think it's possible to complete gold with a stock car but you really need to time it so that you always get a tow on the home straight.. only managed to finish within 8 seconds (5th) before I started adding on the upgrades.
total lap time about 9:56 (2:01, 1:58, 1:58, 1:58, 1:59)
AI: 9:59
just happened to get in a nice groove and managed to be about 2 seconds behind 1st as I started the final lap. took it over a bit awkwardly just before the 180 bend near the stadium.. also had a bit of a wobble on the fast left hander before the tight hairpin hence the slower time.
probably one of the hardest seasonals i've experienced.. hopefully the next gt academy seasonal doesn't take as long to gold -__-

The R246 race was tough - Used a set up posted here, Suspension and LSD. Cut the mustard with no ABS no traction control (SEVEN as standard... You are spoiling us Mister Ambassador) None of the steerig assist - I almost Wish I had the GPS map thing-a-ma-jig as it was a bit tough to learn the track by eye.
Time trial was fun learning the track, but even a pootle about was within a second of Gold. Just clean and Tidy and smooth and Gold was severl seconds behind.
- Fun was had.
It was some of Endless Wilso's Didn't do any gearbox or weight reduction stuff. Seemed to improve the car over my first go though.
This was what I used of Endless WIlso's set up. It is only a slight tweak, and not the full EW change. But I used it as the you can swap back out again.
LSD 10/25/5
Ride height
-6 front and back
7.0/7.6 spring
3/4 ext
3/3 comp
5/6 ARB
camber 2.4/1.4
toe -14/.10
With no driver aids the car seemed to be just right, sort of floating in longer corners as the back end just broke away first. almost four wheel drifts.
I set the BB to 3/2 but this is up to the driver, and very personal.

I did it with TC 0 and ABS 1 took me about ten goes though you need to learn the track well and corner at high speed with minimal drift, drifting alot will lose you lots of time my laps were 1.58 - 159 from lap 2-5 any higher than low 159,s and you may as well restart
I used ecu and exhaust upgrades as completely stock was a nightmare no SRF

I did it last night completely stock with oil change (after about 10 tries). AI was always doing 10:00, and I managed to do a first lap of 2:02 and then 1:59/2:00 depending on availability of slipstream. Managed to juuuust get a hold of the leader's slipstream coming out of the last turn, and beat him to the line by 0.01 seconds. Didn't know I had made it until the results came up.
There is really no room for error on this one.

A tough one this one! I found stiffening the suspension and adding 20kg ballast as forward as poss, adding some camber and toe in to the wheels enabled me a 2.01 first lap, laps of 1.59 for the rest, catching the leader at the final corner.

I was unable to find it also, can anyone help, please?
I've got a 1:22:0XX, but would like to see if I could improve something, because I'm still getting used to my G27(2 months old but haven't practice in the last 3 weeks, have been on vacations)

Yep, Tokyo's a tough one. Closest I've come is 5 seconds away in 3rd with a stock car and of course no aids. I think I can do it but I'm not sure. It'll take some work to find out. I might even need to change the oil which would be a first for these.
It's a nice challenge although it does make me wonder whether they are actually aware of the level of difficulty in their events or whether they just set them up however it plays out depending on how well AI can drive the track. I have a feeling that if the track was Cape Ring they wouldn't adjust anything to make it this difficult. I also wouldn't be surprised if the remaining events are a fair bit easier. Still, the challenge makes it pretty fun... for a time trial with parking obstruction cars.

Tunes are on page 20(endless-wilso) and page 21(lewis hamilton).
I just found them in 5mins?(hint-hint)
Thanks for the help.
