How I won every race by 15+ seconds:
The car
Doesn't matter which car you use, but I had the 2011 Allmendinger Fusion because I am a Richard Petty fan. change oil to max out HP. Add Chassis Reinforcement. This is important because it alleviates some of the cars tendency to over steer.
Ride Height: +15/+15 (no bottoming out on Daytona or curbs and in 2.10 higher ride height means better traction. We take care of the loss of turning with the springs and shocks.
Springs: 14.3/13.3
Extension: 8/4
Compression 8/4
ARB: 7/7
Camber 1.0/0.5 (minimize tire wear)
Toe 0.00/0.00 (minimize tire wear)
Break Balance 0/0 (Bob needs this - saves your tires)
LSD 60/60/60 (saves tires and stabilizes breaking)

The Driver
You want a COOL headed Bob because of the constant babysitting required for these events. Having him not lose his mind at your constant harping is critical. I tried this same setup with a 60% hot Bob and only won 3 races. My Bob was about 5% from the far left temperament gauge. Level 23 with about 15% of his experience bar filled.
The Races
Indy: Aero 20/40 Tranny 230MPH Directives: Keep hitting Pace Up until you get a lead. Once you have a lead over 2 seconds, let your temperament fall to about 95% and then just hit Maintain Pace about 75% of the way down each straight. I used the full map indicator and hit Maintain Pace every time I hit the grid line before turns 1 and 3. You will continue to stretch out your lead through the end. My lap times were all 52-33 se3conds and I won by 15.282 seconds.
Grand Valley S
eedway: Aero 50/70, Tranny 199 Directives: PATIENCE! This race is all about keeping a cool head while the other drivers paint the track black with burned rubber. Going into the very first hairpin, hit PACE DOWN. Repeat going onto the 2nd hairpin, repeat going into the third turn before the first tunnel. Repeat in the first tunnel. Hit PACE UP at the apex of the 2nd tunnel for the bridge run. Hit PACE DOWN just before you leave the tunnel. Hit PACE UP after the two sharp left/rights which is right before the last corner. Repeat this sequence every lap for the first 5 laps. During this time the other drivers lose their mind one at a time and while they are drifting around a tight corner burning off their rubber, your Bob will calmly pass them on the outside. I passed the first place car just before the last corner on lap 5 using this method. After that, let your Bob settle at 50% on the hot/cold meter and just keep using MAINTAIN PACE to keep him at 50%. Your superior tire condition will allow you to pull away for the lat 3 laps. All laps were 1:58-1:59 and I won by 15.485 seconds.
High Speed Ring: Aero 40/45 Tranny 217 MPH Directives: PACE UP the entire time EXCEPT the two sharpest "S" curves, where the PACE DOWN command is used. Once you get the lead, you wil again have the best tire condition, just get Bob to around 95% hot and hit MAINTAIN PACE twice a sap to keep him there. I ran 1:04-1:05 laps and won by 17.841 seconds.
Laguna Seca: Aero 40/45 Tranny 186 MPH Directives: use PACE UP until you get to the corkscrew where you need to PACE DOWN. Using Pace Down here actually improves your time because BOB chooses a much smoother line, stays on the tarmac and does not bury the nose in the dirt at the bottom. If Bob becomes over zealous and starts burning tires, use PACE DOWN until he settles down a bit. I finished the race with only two small black streaks left by Bob. After taking the lead, let Bob settle in at 50% hot and use MAINTAIN PACE to keep pulling away. Average lap time 1:29/1:30, I won by 13.720 seconds.
Daytona: Aero 20/40 Tranny 242 MPH Directives: Use Pace UP continually to work your way to the front. It takes Bob a few laps to figure out he dominates on the low line and falls back on the high line, so you will move up and down in the pack for the first 8-10 laps. Keep hitting Pace Up until you get a lead. Eventually, there will be a two car break from the main pack. Keep hitting Pace Up and you will lose that car in 2 corners. Once you have a 2 second lead, drop your pace to 95% hot and use Maintain Pace through then end. Average lap time 2-43 seconds. I won by 14.003 seconds.
Hope this helps.
PEACE, Racefans!
