I have to say this is the one seasonal challenge I might miss someday. I replay this probably the most just for fun. I have won with a Muira twice and a Gallardo once. I have more fun in the Muira so I use that more now. This to me is the most challenging run even at the 550pp limit. Other challenges I have dropped the PP down but not in this challenge. Those who still have to gold this one, keep trying. I just try to work the sections just like in the Mercedes tests. And yes the Muira's do crash when you press them. Closer you are to them the more they get twitchy.
Lamborghini 550PP Exclusive.

Then keep practicing. Practice practice practice. As I recall, you aren't too great of a driver, as you were complaining about how the F1 seasonals were impossible, and the F1 cars are a waste of money. All I can say is practice and you will get it eventually. Try my tune on this thread.

A stock Gallardo with no aids can catch (or overtake if on a super lap) the leading Miuras by the Carrousel, which is the sharp banked hairpin just past half a lap's distance, so...
... it's this part that needs working on. Having SRF on is already giving you about a 6-7 second advantage compared to having it switched off.
Watch some videos on Youtube and observe the racing lines, braking areas, turning points and apex speeds. A Gallardo with no tuning is capable of beating the Miura's by up to 20 seconds in the right hands.

I have tried it with a stock Gallardo..it bounces off the track
I'm going to try this tomorrow with the untuned gallardo with rear spoiler.
Edit 2 hours later and I won with a 7:04.001 2 seconds in front of the lead muira. Sadly he was a sec and a half ahead of me but I made up all that time in the uphill after the long straight, lost it. Ploughed into the muira t boned him and continued on for the win.
Winnings winning as they say.

FINALLY after months of trying the Nurb track I finally golded it. I can run Toscana at 505PP and win every time but that Nurb deal frustrated me to no end until today
I know for most of you this was no big deal -- It is for me!
I still can't say FINALLY, can you tell me your car setup?

...and wasn't that a good feeling as you crossed the line?
cherish the moment! Well done.Finally!!!
It was a really tough seasonal but now i finished it by using my DS3 (no wheel available).
I started with my Gallardo LP 560-4 which i owned since the A-SPEC Lamborghini event. It was tuned with all parts (inclusive weigth reduction 3, chassis reinforcement, engine 3) and power limited down to 550 pp. I used a basic tune of praiano63 and made some small personal adjustments. The races on Autumn Ring, Special Stage Route 5 and Toskana were pretty easy and i could finish them by only one attempt. Rome City was a little harder but after 5 tries i managed to drive clean, fast laps and catched the 2 Miuras in the last corners of lap 5.
Now only Nürburgring Nordschleife was missing and that got me almost desperate.
I was able to do lap times around 7:15 which was only enough for 3rd or 4th place. Searching for some help in this post i found Shoe67's tune, tried it but could not really improve my lap times.
I thouhgt maybe i should drive another Lamborghini and picked the Countach LP 400 using a tune of praiano63 again. This is a real beast, better acceleration and top speed than the Gallardo but harder to control and keep on the track. I could lower my lap time to 7:10 and finished in 2nd place but the leading Miura was still far away.
Then i found this insane video of Lewis_Hamilton racing with an almost stock Gallardo 6:50 and thought maybe this is the way to success. So i went to the NCD and bought another Gallardo LP 560-4, installed a wing to set the downforce to 20. I did not purchase weight reduction or chassis reinforcement, also no engine, intake system or exhaust parts. All i did was to install a fully customizable transmission, all drivetrain parts, a fully customizable suspension and sport soft tires. But i did not change any parameters except the transmission. I changed it in the approved way: set to default, final gear all right to 5.500, top speed all left to lowest, then set the ratios relative to the scale (1st 0%, 2nd 20%, 3rd 40%, 4th 60%, 5th 80%, 6th 100%) and at last move the final gear to achieve ur top speed of 325 kmh/ 200 mph. The power limiter has to be setted to something in the 90s% to lower the pp to 550.
On the track the car felt great, not too much understeer or oversteer, stable when getting a little of the track and fast when sliding through the corners. When the car gets a little out of balance it becomes stable again quickly, so it is easy to keep the desired direction.
In my first attempt with this new Gallardo i finished 2nd place in 7:10 and i knew with this setting i could do it. My 2nd try was pretty fast, i recognized the lowest intermediate times ever, though i went a couple of times of the track and had a few troubles passing the AI cars. In the right corner before the long straight Döttinger Höhe i passed the leading Miura and with an increased heartbeat and sweaty hands i came in 1st - 7:04!
This was my (maybe too much) detailed review of the Lamborghini event and i hope all other still trying racers will achieve the win soon!
I FINALLY beat the nurburgring after maybe 15-20 tries with various setups, then finally using this setup, I only won by .5 seconds and I had to be a little dirty but I won with a 7.07 time. This also wasn't an error free run, some errors were made. I also got first literally at the very last turn before the finish line.
My only changes I made were I set the top speed to 301 with the final gear ratio, so I had to run a little interference on the straight near the end, also, changed ride height, -10, -5
my settings were tcs to 1, asm was off and the rest were 1, on, or mild.
Good luck to the rest of you, this race was quite hard for me, the rest of them were very easy for me to do in comparison, which I did them all using the muria, cept nurb with the galardo.

I've been trying to beat the Nurb event with my Gallardo for 3 days now. I can't make it past 3rd place!!!!! And at 550pp, there's nothing I could really do to it...Except tune the suspension and drivetrain.

Yeah, I definitely being a bit conservative in that race. IN order to be fast at the Ring, you have to know the car's limits on every single turn.

Good for you! Bet you're glad THAT's over with, hey?
After about 10 attempts with the Gallardo, I too tried the SV, but found it much more clumsy and sluggish than the Gallardo. Perhaps I just didn't tune that right, because I do find the Gallardo very twitchy with sports tires, no matter what I do.
I have probably run this stupid race 100 times and still only silver. Do share your tune, just for grins. And if it's stock or unmodified, let me know that too, please?

Gallardo with the following tweaks did the trick for me:
- Oil change plus rear aero from GTAuto. 10 value for downforce. While you are there, Verde Ithaca paint from Murci is a must for the cool replay when you finally win
- Set weight balance to 48 front 52 rear by increasing ballast size and adjust position.
- Power upgrades to hit 550pp limit. (If applicable as the Gallardo I'd driven here was pretty used and abused with lots of power loss)
- LSD at 10/15/5 front and 15/25/10 rear.
- Converter set to 20 front 80 rear. I used this setting to cure the understeer and you should change it to suit your driving style.
I played dirty between Hatzenbach and Hocheichen (and) in Adenaur Forst. I think it was a luck to win in Murcielago, also i won in this car couple times so l had to put ballast to 200 and lower the power limiter to around 91% to 94% but here is my tune:
Body/Chassis
none
power upgrade (engine, intake system, exhasut ....etc)
none
Transmission
Fully Customisable transmission
Drivetrain
clutch: Twin-plate
Flywheel: semi-Racing
Fully Customisable LSD
TDCD
carbon Propeller shaft
Suspension
Fully Customisable Kit
Tyre: sport soft
default settings(tunes) for transmission, drivetrain and suspension.
That's how i won.
Having run Nurburgring so many times i've lost count i think i'm gonna stop and be happy with my 4th place, i've golded all the other races in the event but i don't think i've got the skills to finish Nurburgring in first place. Luckily i recently bought a Nomad Diablo from one of the dealerships so at least i've got that.
Well done to everyone who has finished it though.
