Rainmasters career mode.

[JDM Jeff]

Hi all
I need some help as I've come to a frustrating position in the Career Mode iA (international A) Rainmasters as I've tried to get a good setup for rwd cars for wet race but end up spinning off the track I've tried different tyres & compounds.
I'm at a loss hope you can help, thanks.

What cars do you have?

The race is limited to non-4WD and non-race cars, but pretty much everything is ok up to 650 PPV

And there doesn't seem to be any tire limitation, so race soft (RS) tires are ok or you can try the intermediate wet (IM) tires.

I just ran the race at SPA and won with my Citroen GT road car

I was using the stock race soft suspension so my Citroen had no special tune.

Easy win by over 30 seconds. The AI cars are pretty bad in the rain, so its usually easy to beat them with a decent car.

Welcome to GTPlanet!
Good luck!

KTM X-Bow tuned to the PP limit, put some weight in the front and turn the diff coast setting up if you find it hard to drive. Shouldn't have any real trouble with that car as it's so quick through the corners. You can use slicks in the wet too, they seem to have more grip in those events because the grip reduction isn't set to real.

Hi GTsail
My car collection mainly consist of JDM's, but I do have a few other makes from other countries.
I will however try the suggested car & tyres (if I have enough money lol!!).
Thanks for the Welcome

The only time you need a high-powered RWD car (supercar or hypercar) is at the Circuit De La Sarthe race. The other two, you can go for a more balanced one, particularly at the Nurburgring in which you can win by using a tuned NSX or FD RX-7...



...or pretty much anything. AI cars suck at rain, given they are equipped with Wet Tires. I won all three events using Sport Soft tires.

Tbh I did try a FD RX-7 on sport tyres but however I had a rear wing fitted with full downforce & hoping it'll stop the rear from slipping but that didn't work.
I tried different cars such as the Rocket as doesn't have a lot power & was hoping it'll cope well in the wet conditions what with it being light and nippy but that didn't work out either.

Hmmmm.... since it's a wet surface you're dealing with, all RWD cars in the rain will definitely have a lot more wheelspin, even racing cars so you have to do your part to feather the throttle no matter how you set up the car. Even I don't use TCS and SRF in those races at all. But TCS can help, if you so wish to use it.


I even use the KTM X-Bow (fully-tuned, mind you...) to win the Spa and Nurburgring races at Rainmasters.



Plus, patience pays off in those races. Keep a cool head and you'll prevail. 👍

I had the same problem losing the back end,the best solution,or rather the one that got me gold was to fit intermediate tyres and short shift at around 6500 to 7000 rpm(if I remember correctly) and go very easy on the throttle to prevent the rear tyres spinning up.The AI in these events is not particulary fast or aggressive,so you don't need to be flat out,just take it slow and steady and work your way through the field.
Hope this helps and good luck 👍

Thanks for the info I'll take this onboard & put it to good use 👍

No problem,oh I should've mentioned that I did these races in a Mclaren F1 with a Praiano tune...

Just put some intermediates on and away you go...

Career Mode iA (international A) Rainmasters

I have another car suggestion:

Purchase a Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car for $489,000

Also purchase the following parts:
High RPM turbo for $22,500
Custom transmission for $20,000
Intermediate wet tires for $25,000
Racing brakes for $10,000 (not necessary but you might as well)
Your Honda NSX-R should now show a PPvalue of 610

The Honda NSX-R comes with a stock race-hard suspension which is decent so you don't need to purchase the custom suspension if you want to save funds.

Basic tune:
Brakes: 5/4
Camber: 0.2/0.2
Wing: 250/450
Transmission: auto setting to 211mph for La Sarthe
TC = 1

Run the races on the intermediate wet tires and enjoy!
As others have mentioned, be gentle with the throttle!

Here is an early Rainmasters thread that lists the many cars that others have used: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/rainmasters.294047/

Good luck!

Thanks I'll give it a try 👍

I have another car suggestion if you want to try an American car that's a little harder to handle, but can get the job done because its very fast: a Saleen S7 '02

The Saleen S7 can be purchased for $419,130

And then purchase a few of the upgrades (overkill to a degree, but who cares!):
Intermediate wet tires: $23,500
Custom suspension: $19,000
Racing brakes: $ 8,500
Custom trans: $19,500
Custom LSD: $ 7,350
Stg 2 Engine tune: $19,500
Stg 2 Wgt reduct: $14,800

This should give you a Saleen S7 with PPV of 603, HP of 709, and weight of 1162 (but will be 1170 if you add the ballast)

The following is my current tune for the Saleen S7 (its still a work in progress so feel free to make improvements):
Ride Height: 90/90
Springs: 9.5/9.6
Compress: 3/4
Extension: 4/3
ARB: 5/5
Camber: 0.1/0.1
Toe: -.08/.08
Brakes: 5/4
LSD: 12/14/12
Auto trans to: 224mph
Ballast: 8, -8 (to the front)

I took the Saleen S7 to La Sarthe and won the Rainmasters race by 43.7 seconds over the McLaren F1 '94 with a race time of 7:56.440 so its plenty fast!

And then on to the 'Ring where I beat the 2nd place Huayra '11 by over a minute with a race time of 9:10.562 The Saleen is quite a handful on the 'Ring, but its very fast! I did find that the Saleen was very prone to wheel spin in third gear, so you need to be very gentle with the throttle application. This applies to both tracks and it seemed to be even worse than the wheel spin experienced in 2nd gear (I wasn't using 1st gear at all).



See you on the tracks!

I've given the Rainmasters another shot plus took all the info onboard (slow & steady wins the race so to speak).
One won two more to go.
This is a lot of fun but by god it's tricky
