Eh, lemme guess. The Ford GT40 Road Car. It took me awhile to beat it with my S2000. Then I saved up for a mod then beat it.

i used a modded Subaru Impreza STi. it took many tries if you can get out in front..and stay out in front..you should beat him.

 

[RazorGTR]

I used a R32 GTS-t and won easily. If you've got it the R30 Racing Skyline is a ringer. I've beaten the GT world Champion ship with that car. Set up right it will lap suprisingly fast.

 

[lefrog]

I used a modded New Beetle and slaughtered the Gt40 and Cobra Coupe on the first try...

 

[lsutiger7]

it didn't work

I suggest using either the lancia collezione, or trampio (if REALLY desparate). I remember this also being a problem race when i first tried. I remember using my 394hp S4 and only winning after like 5 attempts. Now i can easily beat the gt40 in 340hp+ cars, although one mess up at that fast S-sweep, and that ford is sniffing around for scraps in no time....

It seems I used a [R] GT40 or the R30 Skyline Silhouette for the historic with little problem, if that helps.

 

[lsutiger7]

i'll try that

OMFG guy!
Im very disappointed to say the least.

I have successfully beaten the last Historic Car Cup race many a times with guess what:

A Nascar Taurus!

Yes, a Taurus! A frikin FF. Heavy as a mofo. It registers nicely into the HP bracket(394hp race?). I kept ahead of the GT40 all the way. Beat it starting up accelerating and took turns way better.

If you wana beat it, practise is the magic word.

 

[lsutiger7]

that's ridiculous

 

[MistaY]

I used a tuned Lotus Elan S2.
Although it struggles uphill at Grindelwald, I just blocked the GT40 at rome.

The problem is usually that in that last race there is a HP limit of 295 HP. The dang GT-40 has 305, and puts it on the ground extremely effectively.
The car that I usually use for that particular race (at Rome) is the RX-7 GT-C. I just put tires, Full-race Trans, triple plate clutch, and racing flywheel.
The last item allows me to rev much faster and with some fiddling with the gear box, I can usually keep up with the GT-40 on acceleration, and outrun it on top end.
