need help GT World Championship

[RenesisEvo]

To save having to read thru 360 posts (of which I have not time to be doing) - can anyone help re: Hong Kong (race #3)??

I'm using the carbon/black Nissan R92CP with no oil change, no turbos etc. Runs for 100pts against a line-up of Sauber C9, R89CP, R390 GT1, Gillet Vertigo and Toyota GT-One.

Managed to qualify on R3's and get pole by about 2secs over the C9, switched to R1's, but the C9 got past after 2 laps, and quickly set about demolishing me. By lap 8 he was +22secs, nearly enough for a pit-stop (which I was counting on to take the lead, as per the first two races). I gave up when a handling quirk sent my car spearing into a wall, thus removing any remaining chances of winning. Note: I fully intend to fix said handling quirk.

Question is - does anyone know what laps they pit; and would I be better off using R3's, going faster around the track and pitting myself, or going slower than the AI on harder tyres, and hoping I can hold on?

I would definately go with R3's. As you know Hong Kong is pretty tough in it's self and the LMP's dominate it. So use the R3's to maintain superior handling and try to take the lead early and stretch it out as much as you can. Be leary though, there are a couple that don't pit. Can't remember which.

Good Luck

Hiya RenesisEvo:

Check HERE for a strategy that should help. ALSO it sounds like your ride might need a "Chassis Refresh." 👍...O.G.

Sorry InfinitiG35Kid: The "Formula GT" rides NEVER appear in the use car lots...not to mention that your query has NOTHING to do with this thread! ...O.G.

 

[gt4rulez]

there are only 4 race cars appear in the used car lots and not one of it is a formula 1 car. the only black F1 car that i know is the one you get when you reach 100%.

You don't get any F1 cars in the used car lots. To get a black one, you have to get 100%, or for a normal one, win the Nurburgring 24h endurance. 👍

yea this race series is killing me only because I am 28% done but I dont have any cars that can compete against these yet. I have done a majority of the special conditions races, all beginner, all proffessional, no arcade, and almost no driving missions. I just won the CLK GTR race car last night but when I drove it to see how it was, it was all over the place. Is this car worthy of winning this championship with a skilled driver? Is the stock hp enough of will I have to upgrade?

By the way... in b-spec mode... how do you speed it up by 3x? I have only tried bspec once but I didnt see any icons for speeding it up... someone help!

The Mercedes-Benzr CLK GTR all over the place...Man, That car handles like a dream. And YES it is worthy of winning with a skilled driver(if you are?). Somewhere in the manuel there is a way to speed it up...I think it goes to 5x or something. Or it should say on the menu.

Winning with the CLK-GTR is quite possible. It's not easy, because you have less overall grip. But a good driver can win almost every race (I say almost - not the Super Speedway).

I've recently slipped from "good" to "poop" in OLR terms.

I won every race with the CLK-GTR, and cleanly too. I'm currently running it, stock, in the La Sarthe II 24hr.

PRACTICE!!! PRACTICE!!! PRACTICE!!! ​

This series has been bested in TWO different JGTC rides as reported HERE & HERE & even in a "Road Car" as reported HERE so the 787B is MORE than capable. 👍...O.G.

 

[Mercedez45]

i couldn't find anything already posted on this, so if there is, can someone please direct me in the right direction and mods delete this..but if not

i'm having trouble with the gran turismo world championship in professional races..i'm using one of the black LMP cars, the toyota gt one...i came in first for the first race, but the rest i'm not doing to great...does anyone have any recommendations for a car to use for these series of races..?

Use the Minolta It is the Fastest Race car in the game. 👍

By the way you have to go on race moniter hit L1 and the right > button then it will speed up but you cannot watch the race

9 months this thread was dormant. A quick read through shows that the issues first described were pretty much solved. Was there any real need to drag it back to life?

If they made that race any easier, they'd have to put it in the Beginners Stadium. You just need the right tire setup and a bit of practice. A dead stock 787B can win that race even against the Minolta Toyota 88C-V. A Chaparral 2J with medium tires can win by such a large margin it's really unfair. With slightly harder tires, the 2J can run the whole race without pitting and easily win.

Often I find it's better to not add the bigger turbo's because they sometimes reduce your tyre life too much.

I used the stock 787B with an oil change, lost some hp though and i think it topped out at 804hp. Duck's set-up and the right set of tires works well.

The GT series is a little tricky. I used the Toyota GT ONE fully loaded and I only lost 3 races (5th, 2nd and 3rd).
Using R- Medium on the front and R- Hard on the rear for tires, loosened the gear ratio slightly for a higher top end and get used to the car.
I was up against (to the best of my memory)
Toyota GT One
Minolta
787b
Merc Sauber (I think)
R390

The Minolta gave me the most problems.

Fist time through I was level points with the Merc on the last race and had a lead but spun out on the second from last corner (thats what you get for trying to use soft tires and only pitting once lol)

 

[Hitman]

I used the Formula 1 car and one all of them. You win it in the Nurburgring 24 Hours race. Use something that is fast, and has good tire wear (like the Ford GT or something).

Sorry, posted in wrong thread.

Sorry folks to rant on the topic, but I read the title and I thought it would fit: I've got through every series so far in Beginner and Proffessional with the RUF GTR (fully tuned) with 596hp (except for special series). I got to the GT World Championship and found myself falling behind very fast . All I have is 180 000, and I did the math: it would take 200 times of the Supercar series to aquire 4 500 000 credit. hehe... so maybe not such a good idea.

More to the point: is there any racecar capable of winning the GT world for under 1 million?

No probably not. Your best bet is to win one of the LMP cars. A few are available from the Endurance races with the Minolta probably your best bet which can be won from the El Captain 200 miles

I read somewhere that the R390 road car is capable of doing this, but you'll probably need to fully tune it and add a wing. This still puts you over a millionn, though (The R390 is Cr 1,000,000 itself).

The other option of course is to win the Toyota 88C-V (Minolta). I think you can win it in the El Capitan 200 mile endurance, which you can easily win with your RUF.

 

[MikeB]

You need 25% game completion to enter in the endurance races, but sounds like a great idea... thanks folks.

I have all the liscenses except for Super, and I'm still only at 14.5%. I did all the competitions as well...
Does driving missions count towards game completion?

 

[BobK]

Yes

 

[MikeB]

Now I'm stuck on mission 11. Hehe. anyways, I'll get through it. Thanks folks.

to the best of my memory, i use the minolta toyota and only lost the hong kong race. My back tires were crimson red on the last lap and almost all the cars past by me.
