GT cup Gr.3

[Pizzicato1985]

What can I do? I need the classic to complete the menu. I can’t do the race

Go to European zone and look for a little yellow symbol on the bottom left of one of the locations. Once at that location look for the race that has a gift car reward. If none of them have the option then you need to enable the mission in the cafe as Mercia stated

You absolute legend 🤣🤣 it popped up now thanks

I was looking at your unlocks thinking there's no way I did a Gr.3 race that early and forgot about it surely 😂

I'm on book 32 and it's all road cars all the way, just follow the compass every time.

Brilliant thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I remember running into this challenge back in Gran Turismo 3! This was probably the first encounter of racing knowledge that I needed in order to win. Took me awhile to recall what I did, but in my head it was a compromise between top-speed and acceleration; depending on the tack, its best to do a trial run and survey where in each part of the track should your most top speed can reach, although, most of your acceleration/deceleration work should also be greatly considered in non-straight roads.

Tune your transmission to cater the track and your car's output potential, it's not all about how much engine power you have to output. THEN, as you confidently pass most of your opponents, don't get too excited and slack off because your tire wear will definitely deteriorate in your last three laps, so keeping your TCS on 2 or 3 and later to 5 is best. The Aston Martin will try its best to stay on your tail until the second last lap. Just stay focused on maintaining distance and your lap record then you'll definitely get the gold.

I forgot to mention, but I used to the pre-ordered Mazda RX vision for this particular race.

so i am playing the game now, but GT cup Gr.3 race which i play with Supra, i cant win it any tips

I'm doing a gr3 or gr4 race and I've had to put parts on the car to dum it down so the pp was correct. But I can't catch the Al so what's the point in all this? They can have faster cars but I can't to enter the race were is the fairness in that? Or am I doing something wrong 🤔 if you have any ideas please let me know lol thanks

 

[Djbeccles]

Anybody else having trouble with refuelling? I am using the M6 endurance model, which I have to refuel twice at the moment, but all other cars seem to only refuel once??

Tuning down higher PP cars to meet requirements never seems to work well for me, and I'm not big on adjusting cars too much so I usually stick with cars that meet the requirement or can be bumped up towards the max for a series. I've been using the Jaguar F-type Gr.3 for the 730 PP Gr.3 events and it's been solid for me. If you're struggling to keep up with the AI cars even in the longer straight areas, you could try adding nitrous.

Vette gr3 was fastest for me, also has best fuel consumption if you short shift and mostly running lean

 

[Chris McFly]

I literally come 13th they are quicker in every way cannot get past this

same, i tried 2 different cars and some tuning. Result: i suck, best result was 11th. I have NO chance to pass any cars.
I tried the Porsche GT3 and the Nissan Nismo GT3.. RM are the best tires allowed i think. Not a chance.

 

[GazB_UK]

Because i had the Supra i gave this this race a few goes and the best i finished was 5th or 6th. I cant seem to catch the leading pack. After that i just decided to get on with the game. Il try to come back to tackle it later as well as the gr4 events. I still need to buy a gr4 car. I do have the game on hard difficulty so anyone thats struggling too much just lower the difficulty to normal or easy. Im sure i would win this race on normal.

Yeah, I tried some of the Gr.3 stuff but I'm just not fast enough yet. The Gr.4 racing is some of the most fun I've ever had though, those cars are a blast to drive. Very well worth the 350k CR. investment.

 

[GTvsForza]

Daytona seems to be the issue race. I was able to win the others in the Viper with a 730 PP tune by @praiano63, but haven't tried Daytona yet with it.

 

[Over40nGaming]

same wtffff

I literally toast ever other race with a 20 plus second win, these GT cup GR.3 races are bugged out! Best I’ve ever done is second but 13 seconds behind first.

Best race in the game for me, so did it about 15 times now. Using the Audi with @praiano63 PP730 tune.. A real blast to drive with that tune. (Big thanks to him for that). Think I've just changed to RH tyres and increased power output to get to the balance of the PP.

I bought a gr4 car today (Subaru) and the racing was immense! The AI are so aggressive! Im very impressed.

I'm on my third one already! Just bought the C7 Gr.4 seconds ago, about to test it out at HSR. So far got the WRX, Atenza and now the C7. The Atenza is amazing, I highly recommend it.

 

[Cello Dude]

It’s so aggravating! Almost to the point where I want to throw the game away lol I’ve tried and tried!!

Been trying for several days and usually crash in 4th or 5th lap. Tire wear is outrageous ! 5 laps and the tires are shot! seems unreal.
Am going to try upping the TC after lap 3. The other cars drive like no tire wear !! LOL. It seems that I cant advance from Menu 4 until I get third place.
If and when you pass let us know what worked for you. 0 TC seems a little unreal with a pad ! Don

Bumping this to save creating a new thread.

Managed to beat Maggiore by shortening the gear ratio on the BRZ, unfortunately thst isn't enough on other tracks with longer straights.

Any advice for the particular events? To be clear these are the 730PP, 2-3 Chilli/Pepper difficulty events. They are quite tricky.

 

[Sunzi]

Nothing here fellas?

 

[Daxus]

Nothing here fellas?

Save fuel and tires, be slow at the start of the race and be your fastest at the end of the race to combat the rubber banding. Slipstream on the highest fuelmap that allows you to follow and when you use nitrous, also only use it at the end.

I've tried it with the included settings and put the result on Youtube:

It's Menu Book 3 IIRC. .....the European compacts.

I have a feeling folks are talking about other races that open up at some of the tracks rather than required races to progress through the menu(s). So far I have unlocked all of the World Map locations AFAIK but certainly have already unlocked the Tuning shop as well as GT Auto. I never had to compete in a Gr3 race that I recall.

Maybe some folks are thinking they need to compete in all the races that unlock rather than the ones that are marked for Menu progression?

Im stuck on the menus because i can't figure out how to get a vw 1200 66'. Its not in the used cars and i only have the GT CUP available in the brands hatch races

If I remember correctly, you can also get such a car at the license test or at the missions if necessary. But look at the pinned posts here, I think there is a list of which car you can get where.

Old thread but new GT Cup races BOP 1.40 update. Any tips on cars to run at Red Bull Ring, Mount Panorama and Daytona? The races say NO PP limit but then puts a stupid BOP on your car. The cheater AI cars just pass you like you are standing still. Any tips would help.

Tips for Daytona: bump-drafting, and be patient.

Sadly yes, BoP is enabled here. And like everyone knows, in the real life BoP = no tune allowed. Wait... Only in PD's minds actually...

Mount Panorama was the most difficult race for me. I did win with the McLaren 650S GT3 '15. One of the cars that loose less time with TC on 1 and old tyres (change them when you pit). Just increase the brake balance rearward to avoid unpleasant surprises.

 

[peniu]

Daytona race is piece of cake in the Peugeot VGT gr. 3 car. None of the AI cars come even close to its top speed.

 

[GTvsForza]

I used the Mustang for Daytona, the Movie Hero GT-R for Red Bull and the Ferrari for Bathurst (was originally going to use the Suzuki VGT, but it has terrible Fuel).

Mustang worked perfect for the tri oval. Thank you, I will try the Ferrari and GT-R later.

Just watch out for the GTLM Spec II and Supra, they are the quick ones.
