400 and 500 pp are too much easy. The 650 pp is great fun.

I agree. The 400pp and 500pp races have a myriad of cars that can be used to win it, but the 650pp race takes a little planning. I made two quick runs at it last night with my R390 Road Car and a Ford Mark IV and came in 2nd both times. The Ford GT LM Spec II or whatever it is out front, has quite a sizeable lead to close the gap on. I think I was still 13-14 secs behind starting my 4th lap. :lol:

I'm looking forward to running this race more tonight and over the weekend. I don't have a lot of experience on this track, but I know I'm leaving many seconds out there that I will recover once I do learn the track. 👍

I guess I could always jump in the 2J and crush the AI's spirit, but that would be too easy. :mischievous: :sly:
 
tokyo gets you 72800 with a 200 login.

Just won it with my little mazda by 8 tenths of a second :)

418pp fully tuned mazda roadster admittadly on rs, i love tokyo...
 
Tuning down the 86 '12 for the 400PP Rome event - satisfying. Very easy to drive stock on that track, even with a little less power than usual.
 
Perhaps the OP could correct the pp needed(original post) as Rome requires 400pp and Tokyo R246 will ask for 500pp...?
 
Getting through the traffic in Madrid is a beotch.....:D Easy win with 1:16 ish laps in the 2J.....

RUF BTR is a tailhappy blast in Toykyo and MINI ONE is an easy win in Rome.....
 
Why is it that this track(Madrid) or race makes all my cars feel like they can't turn or stop am I the only person having this problem

Some of the turns are pretty sharp hairpins or really curved S turns so you have to drop your speed a lot on the turns. If not, lowering car ride sometimes helps too.
 
Used the Mobil NSX, that I used for B spec. Beat the Ford by 3 hundredths of a second. Madrid is tough gettiing through the traffic.

Yeah this seasonal seemed pretty easy I won each race first time by quite a bit, wish there were some harder seasonals...

Then challenge yourself by using a slower car. I usually start my first run in a car that's 50 PP below the maximum running SH tires and adjust from there; well, for the normal car races that is.

Madrid is definitely a challenge in a fast car. Hard to find proper passing spots and it's very easy to be too greedy and bounce off a wall.

It makes a lot of cars feel sluggish because the tight corners will really punish obese, sluggish cars. Horsepower doesn't mean too much on this track, you're way better off with a light nimble car that will turn well.

2J will do it easily, and the Mazda Furai is so light (750kg) it will match the 2J's time no problem at all. Once I've had lunch and Bob's done grinding I'll try a few cars and report back.
 
I did the Rome race with the Lancia Delta from the dealership, completely stock. Didn't change anything, so was running on comfort softs. Great races, finished 2nd at 0.2-0.3 secs behind the leading Honda Prelude several times before finally winning. If you want a great race, use the Delta.:) Great car.

For the 650pp Madrid race, I used the Skyline R34 Touring Car, great race, first two times I finished 2nd, then my third race I won pretty easily.:)

The Tokyo race took me a lot of tries to win, couldn't find the proper car apparently, hehe.:P Finally won that one using NSX Type R tuned up to 497 pp.:)
 
Try the little mazda (Eunos) roadster, 430 odd pp your on max attack from the start line. A lot of fun, i'm going to try it again i may have been lucky with the Ai cars. In tokyo

Of course, I did get bounced into a couple walls trying to pass...
 
Can someone tell me what is so good about the 2J? I don't have one but I borrowed it from one of my friends. I don't think it's that great. Are their any special settings for it? Anyway I am using the McLaren F1 race car for Madrid.
 
Madrid (650pp): Full House Aventador on about 635pp. Made first just before the final chicane against a racing Zonda. I'd tried previously without the engine upgrades (because you can't buy/install them trackside) but couldn't beat the BMW. Went away to upgrade the car but of course it wasn't there when I came back. Mind you, I think it would've been a push to beat it in a road car, never mind it had near on 900bhp! Car understeered a bit much for my liking, might try increasing front camber - worked on my Gallardo. Trouble with this race is that there's always at least one or maybe two cars that totally outperform the rest, making it very difficult to win on marginal settings.

Rome (400pp): Boggo Countryman, not even an oil change. Took 3 goes and by then, engine was up to 176bhp for 386pp. I did win by a reasonable margin, so I think it would be doable on the original 175. Didn't push hard enough on lap 1, first time round, thought it was a 5 lapper.

Tokyo (500pp): Not one of my best tracks, this. Was going to detune the Vantage to 500 and use that, but tuned the Countryman up to 466 and won on the second try, after swapping the RH tyres for RM. I can never settle into a proper flow around this track, not matter what the car.

Prize: Apart from the cash, got a nice new Evora '09 for my troubles. Didn't think a level 6 ticket was worth saving.

The car outperforms against its pp rating, especially in the wet. Don't know if this will still hold true after the 2.03 update, as apparently, the ground effect is to be taken into consideration for the calc, as with other aerodynamic/downforce properties.

Personally, I'm no fan (see what I did there...?) as I'm not fond of the 3 speed gearbox.

Anyone tried the 400 pp race in the premium beetle yet? Still waiting for the DLC here...

Have now. Lots of fun. Quite a bit of the way on two tires. :) Still a relatively easy win, as you don't have to break your neck to win. Different in the European Hot Hatch Championship, as you actually have to push it, and that can lead to plenty of roll overs. :lol: But you can still win these. Have tried it in the 500PP race as well, but I don't think I'll be able to win that one.

While we're at the 400PP race, OMG, did anyone try the Leaf yet? I so underestimated that car. Granted, put aero, full suspension, and racing softs on, but that allowed me to win this thing with absolutely no aids, not even ABS=1. It just flies around the corners, and only requires minimal breaking. The only issue with it is that it doesn't seem to go past 150 km/h (93 mph), not even when you attempt to draft. You just drop off the lead car on the straight, even if you're stuck right behind it. But then you just fly past in the corners. That is one awesome car. :lol:
 
If you want a fun challenge, try beating the Rome one with the IMiev. Man, that's rough. I haven't gotten better than 2nd with that pos and that looked perfectly driven in replay. they out power you badly. I'm kind of wondering if it's even possible to win it with that.

I did it with Nissan Leaf! It was fun, I pushed it to its limits and it showed me what it is capable of! Im starting to actually like it 👍
 
I enjoyed the M3 on SS tires for the 500pp race.

I'd like to try the Furai on the 650 but how do you get one? I keep reading great things about it. But it's not avail from basic dealership and I've never seen it in UCD or OCD either? Is it one of those stealth cars?

The Furai can be won through the B-Spec Roadster event. I think it's in the Amateur section.

B-Spec Miata Challenge:ouch:
 
Eventually you may find it through the UCD. Quite a rare one. You can also acquire it through a Level 23 ticket.
