I assume you're trying to win the Professional League Italian Avant Garde. I think its a PD inside joke. I posted this last year as a comment to one of the C12S setups on GTVault:
Okay, does anybody else feel as I do that the game's developers were having a little fun with us when they threw in the Pro League "Italian Avant Garde" event? I mean, come on: You're up against five identical Zonda Race Cars, all number 24, and you're supposed to beat them with the C12S you won in the NA race? This pig has no frickin' brakes! Oh, please!
Well, there is a way. It's a punky, cheap, slimy way to do it, but I have a feeling the developers just wanted to see if we can figure it out.
The "secret" is: Ride the walls. Notice how this so-called event is run on a track that's lined with them? Notice how fast you can get around this track if you choose to ride them?
Pcman665's setup will work fine for this. Just buy all the engine upgrades and max out the HP, then add T3 hard race tires. Oh, boy, does this 1100-HP sucker leave those Race Cars behind when you just leave the throttle on and ride all the walls in the high-speed turns. You'll have to open the door and stick your foot out to slow down for the three tight turns, but otherwise, keep it punched and lay up against the Armco barriers.
You'll win by half a minute or so. That will get you the Zonda Race Car, and you can come back and run the event straight up, or as straight as this goofy event can be run, at least...
It's not like this is a "real" series or anything. It's pretty bizarre when you think about it.
