Wide body car.
Rims size up to you - Rim Width Wide - Offset Wide

Excelent any track , except Le Mans because of consumption , Top grip and speed , just take care about the wheel spin , you can use TC1 to prevent.

I couldn't find a race in the event list for this tune. But making 2 slight changes I found 4 races it is very good for. I added Racing Soft tires and bumped up the Power Restrictor from 85 to 96. The 4 races are WTC600. It's not good for the Tokyo Rain event because the Racing Soft is not a good tire for that event. One of the WTC600 events requires dirt tires which are unavailable to purchase for this car. But the other four WTC600 events it performed very well. So well that I could make a mistake or get completely bumped off the road and win. At 2066 lbs. (937 kg) this car can easily be bumped off the road by AI. On two separate WTC600 races, I was bumped off the road and did a full 180 or 360 to dead stop. Yet still managed to finish in P1. Fun drive! If those events pop up in the weekly events I will be grabbing this for sure.

Your post got me to thinking. I wonder if this car would work at the Tokyo wet race on RH (or maybe even RM) tires. You could bump the power restrictor up to 100 and maybe even reduce the ballast. (You also don't need a full 600 pp to win at Tokyo in some cases - it just might be a closer race - I got a 540pp car to win there and others have done even lower).
I may have to give that a try. I love racing the open seaters in VR

Ditto! This is why I was determined to make it work for races that could pop up in the weekly challenge.I love racing the open seaters in VR
I think he stated the ballast here was more about handling as opposed to reducing PP. Also, I'm fairly certain that for a car even close to 600pp he will try his best to get it to work for Tokyo Rain. So if he posts it at 550pp with no mention of Tokyo, I'm assuming he has done a lot of the hard work to find out that the car is not performant for that race. He has stated and we can tell from the tunes that he targets Nordschleife, Le Mans, Tokyo Rain, Sardegna, and Spa for his tuning. But we will also see the occasional Daytona or Alsace mission tune. Outside of that the only times the tunings might vary are for a specific time attack or online event. I know you likely are aware of all this. I'm just clarifying more for recap purposes for any that might be newer to the thread.

My setup was bad - basically you can add eversthing and sports softs and then try figuring out the suspension, otherwise this cars back will bite you every corner.
And this car is way above my skill level, requires too much delicate inputs.
I could propably pull out +10 seconds with practice and a better setup.
And a driver with the right tough could see my time beaten by at least 25s I guess (that would have been my optimal lap time consistenly +1second per lap for just beeing better
).

I'm excited that I finally have completely bought out Brand Central including all the invite cars. The Veyron was the last invite I needed and I was so happy that Praiano had a good working tune for it. I have 472 of 491 cars not including the Bvlgari we can buy next month. Still plenty in my garage left to tune or even drive for the first time. Only at 87% event completion and numerous circuit experience, missions, and license tests can be completed or improved upon. Not to mention taking on Sport races more often. I was sleeping on Gran Turismo for all these years and now I'm addicted. lol

Menu Book 42: Enter the 'Gr.1 Prototype Series' i would recommend this car in USA i finished 2nd ( due to penalty after exit from pit stop ) EU finished first with i think was 30seconds ahead of 2nd and in Asia i finished 2nd due to rain if i re-run them with this build for sure it would be first if i re-run them Thank you for your suggestion @praiano63
Very good since it can reach 950 PP on soft tires. The VGTs (Gr.1) are all good for this Menu.have you triee this car for Menu Book 42: Enter the 'Gr.1 Prototype Series'

Wide body car.
Rims size 18" - Rim Width Wide - Offset Wide - Need also any Roll cage.
Front B - Side B - Rear B - Wing A
Top five 800PP car anywhere. Top speed , grip and excelent drivability.
EDIT: I've modified the front ride height , bring it to 80 in the way to 70 , the car was flooring badly down strong compressions. Like last fast turn Deep forrest or Fox hole on Nordschleife. 100% guilty to not test the car on Nordschleife before publishing it. Thanks for your observation @oldboy1943

That's a beautiful livery! I can't wait to try this one out (I have found myself trying to do a content search for your awesome liveries on your tunes, so that when I see it in my garage I will immediately recognize it as a @praiano63 special!)

Yeah, that's part of the experiment, to see how the changes affect the handling, and if is a suitable car for Tokyo in some slightly changed configuration
When the Maestro builds a tune for us he is aiming for perfection and what he thinks is the car's sweet spot. And even then, he lets us know in the comments if there is anything sub-par or where its weaknesses are.
For me, I just thought it might be a fun car to try on Tokyo. Depending on the car, there's a lot of leeway on that race where you can still win. Might be able to keep the ballast and just switch the tires and up the power.
This was just an "open musing" on my part that I shared with the thread.
I'll try it out tonight and report back

I had to install a roll cage to get below
I just worked out the roll cage is needed to achieve the pp ,

Even RH tires don't work on this car at the Tokyo event. It was too prone to sliding on the wet surface in the early laps.
However, I found a much simpler solution:
1) Stay with SS tires
2) Power Restrictor to 100
3) Ballast to 7 (still at -50)
4) Final gear to 3.414
As the maestro mentioned, this car is much slower than other cars at 600pp, so it's not a "top" choice for Tokyo, which is why he built it as a 550pp tune. However, I was still able to win the event by a fair margin with these changes, even making a couple small mistakes, and I got the CRB. I took 1st on lap 8 when the leaders went to the pits, and never saw them again. So if you want an open seater to run the event, it can fit the bill. You can run the entire event without pitting.
(Also, if you haven't tried it the Honda RA272 '65 is a blast on the Tokyo event, even more fun than the Maserati. You're so low, the Gr. 3 cars seem like monsters towering above you)

I have a setting for the original engine at 700PP in post 1
Nismo 400R '95 - 700PP - Racing Hard Tires - All Track - 1.40
For this gearbox you need to perform the call " tranny trick" to set a gearbox.
Final gear to max
Top speed auto minimum
Set each gear
Set again final gear to the given ratio.
Thanks. Exact , i've forgot to mention it , any roll cage .

It's wacky that the roll cage sometimes raises or lowers the pp rating.

I love that car and have driven it quite extensively in VR. Also, the Ford Roadster, F1500T-A, Honda Project 2&4, and the Shelby Cobra 427. The X-Bow was the first open seater I owned and drove in VR. But I haven't driven it with Praiano's latest tune. Going to try that soon. The Plymouth XNR Ghia, Mercedes-Benz S Barker, BVLGARI VGT, Jaguar XJ13, and Jaguar D-type '54 are the only open-seaters I have left to acquire.

Hi Praiano, I tried putting this setting on my car but the downforce figures cannot match.
Stock car has 0 0 downforce.
Add front spoiler - add 100 front.
Add rear diffuser - add 100 front and 100 rear.
Add custom wing - add 200 rear.
Total 200 front and 300 rear max.
I don't know how you get 100 front downforce with stock front bumper and 371 rear with just custom wing.
The rest of the tune still works great. I just adjusted my downforce to 100/300 and it works well enough. Just confused how your car has these numbers that's all. I used hundreds of your tunes and never come across a big discrepancy like this
