Special Event - Nurburgring Nordscheife B-spec Challenge

Used racing hards from the start and didn't let him pit no matter what... took the lead mid-2nd lap and was 15 seconds up by the start of the 3rd lap. I told my bob to slow down to half-pace after he took the lead to conserve the tires and as soon as the track moisture dropped bellow 20% I kept hammering increase pace to take advantage of the racing hards he still had on from the beginning.

Was using the Raybrig NSX 06, Bob was level 34 and was looking all over the place mid-way through the last lap and wen't off track once (when the track was still 15% wet). He also fully spun out down the last few turns before the straight, which made me panic as the cars behind me came back into view so I told him to decrease pace again.

2nd lap time- 7:31.891
3rd lap time- 7:18
Total time- 22.32.841

Won Pescarolo GV5 JUDD =D I didn't have it...
 
Yeah, just tried it again with Sports Soft and made it further into the third lap, still managed to spin out though (I might have been overzealous with pace ups though, I had to answer the phone and wasn't really paying attention). I was hoping not to have to spend any more money in order to beat this race, but nothing against Honda; I guess I'll give that a shot in a bit, thanks.

Racing hards Mobil 1 dont pace up more than 75% he will naturally get more than that when mixing with the AI but dont push too hard my driver is mid table on the calm driver thing and has a couple of drifts but does not lose it was in 1 st place at end of 1st lap.

Placed 9th with Mobil 1 NSX @ 600PP No Turbo, Transmission set to 220mph, LVL 26 driver(my LVL 34 and 36 drivers are not well at the moment). I started with Racing Hard/FRONT and Racing Inters/REAR for the first lap. Bob took the lead mid 2nd lap. I switched Bob to Inters on F/R on second lap as the tires were 90% worn after 1 lap. He never regained his position and earned 9th by about .001... Overall, I feel this race is entertaining to watch and I enjoy trying to "coach" Bob up the field.

Same here start and complete on racing hards pace down if he gets too enthusiastic.
 
Tried it with the Yellow Hat and couldn't do much better than third-to-last place with a level 33 driver with his little arrow pointing up. Tried tuning it per a setup on the tuning forum but that didn't make any difference. Switched to the Xanavi Nismo GT-R and he mopped up the floor with those guys :) Was in first for almost the whole third lap. I just let his mood meter get all the way in the red for a lot of it, Bob drove like a champ. Left the racing hards on the whole way with no pit stops. The rain or sleet or whatever doesn't seem to affect them much at all.

Holy crap do you ever get a ton of exp. for that race lol, probably 2 or 3 times as much as I've been getting for the 9 hour Tsukuba race.

Won this easily with the Diablo GT1 on SS tyres.

Did this third time. First time, the track dried out and cars which had RH and didn't pit pulled away. Second time I had RH and it rained for most of the race so I lost out to the RI guys. Third time, back to SS and I won easily.
 
Finally won at fourth attempt.

First was with Penzoil Nismo which was too slow, tried with the Raybrig NSX and came 6th, then another attempt which went drastically wrong when it rained more than I expected and (up to 55%) I was still on Hard tyres and was passed by nearly everyone on the last lap, finishing 15th.

This time round when the rain started after only a few seconds I let him pit at the end of lap 1 for Inters and then made my way to the front near the end of lap 3.

Won by 0.5 sec in the end in a very wet race where the track moisture topped out at 65%!
 
Takata Dome NSX '06. Pitted after the first lap, put on Intermediates and finished on them, in first, Level 38 driver/bob.
 
Any of the NSX's work best (us: Epson) & you need weather on your side. It always starts raining during lap 1, but then it'll either clear up & dry out by the last lap or not & stay wet. If it clears then not pitting is best or vice versa. The AI splits it's chances by having 1/2 the field pit & 1/2 stay out. So stick with one way (us: not pitting) until it works.

Transmission - No point having it at 350km/h if it never gets near there & you cost yourself low range acceleration. We had the NSX at 320km/h & it only got to 301km/h on the big straight so 310km/h would've been perfect.

Downforce - There's really only 2 settings aside from default, minimum & maximum. A car & track will match better either not being slowed by drag & weighed down at speed or gain more traction for quicker cornering at high speed. Noting the Chaparral 2J dominated an A-spec time trail on the 'Gring & it's a wingless car we went with minimum downforce for lowest drag possible. This also allowed a higher HP to be at 600PP. During the winning race our driver did slide off the track twice on the 1st lap when it was still dry, but didn't after when raining on lap 2 & still damp lap 3 and we were on RH tyres all the way so go figure.

Coaching - You gotta whip (increase pace) him relentlessly & know that it doesn't make him race harder, it just keeps him from slacking off which he'll do if you don't whip. When he gets up the arse of another car keep giving the overtake command until he passes them and continue whipping & overtaking. He will be hot, but being in traffic in a race heats him up anyway & you got a 15 car conga line to get past. When in front let him be & he'll cool down, but when he slips past the 1/2 way of cold-hot crack the whip to keep him in the middle range because when he hits blue he really slacks off.

Got an Audi R8 Race Car '01. Very good handling, much better than the '05 model we had & even some other Le Mans cars like the 908 HDi.
 
Nissan Motul Pitwork Z '04 is the best car. 496hp at 1080kg. I did a engine rebuild and chassis restore and had to lower power to 99% to hit 600pp. No need to pit at all. I was first half way into lap 2, but of course my bob figures he's first so he won't brake at all and smashes so hard into a wall he spins like 4 times. Once you get first just make sure he's not driving super aggressively.

Edit: above advice on paper is better, but in real life it is not good. Honda NSX Mobile 1 '01 with engine and chassis restore done than add stage 3 turbo and power reduce until 600pp is hit. Only tuning that has been done is move final gear so the top speed hits 200mph, lower the suspension to -6 front and rear, finally raise the damper extension to 9 front and rear

Takata Dome... Oil change, Mid turbo, held back a bit... Racing hard in the front, Sports soft in the back... Despite the lack of rain I was counting on to make the rest of the field pit, I still won by a mile.
 
Today I just tried to race again to earn more money, but it doesn't give me any 1.000.000cr with experience!!!! Does any one knows why?! :confused:
 
I want to do this but don't have a Level 35 Driver yet :(
no matter U have level 35 driver or not, i did it with level 30 driver! the matter is Driver's car & tuning of it. TAKATA NSX is the best. U can try it. but it seems just 1 time U receive the bonus cr.

Ah brill will use my Level 30 Driver & Takata 👍
 
Did this last night on both my accounts.
Main account: Mobil 1 NSX. Level 40 bob. 1st on dottinger hoe straight on lap1.

Alt account. It took me a few attempts but used the same mobil 1 and I won it with a level 0 bob!

u can only get 1,000,000cr. once then it goes down to like 200,000 something depending on how much ur log in bonus percentage is
 
Nomad Diablo worked great for me, after a few tries to get the tires right.

Tried inters. No good - they're burned halfway up before the rain really starts.

Tried Sport Softs. Not enough grip. Moved up, but couldn't get higher than 6th place.

Racing Hards did the trick - lasted the whole race, enough grip, the rain doesn't really bother them too much, and the track doesn't get more than 30% wet before the rain lets up, anyway.

Added ballast to the car - about 50kg - to get the weight closer to 50/50, turned the aero down to 25f/45r, trans set to 199mph top speed, mid-range turbo with power turned down just enough to get it down to 600pp. Took first place midway through Lap 2, never looked back, won it by more than 15 seconds.
 
There is luck involved in this, I had tried it 5 times running racing hards the whole way, and the moisture level got over 50% every time. Once the moisture gets that high the cars with intermediate tires are on me and there is nothing I can do to stop them from passing. 6th try and the rain stopped soon after 20% and it was a walk in the park, so my advice is to keep trying with racing hard the whole way until the weather cooperates.

Y'know, I kinda wondered about that. The race before, when I ran Sports Softs the whole race, it didn't get over 21% wet, so I thought, "Hell, no reason to not run Race Hards if that's as wet as it's going to get..." So I put 'em on, and it got up to 30% wet. Not so wet that Bob couldn't hang, but enough that I was growing concerned.
 
Like the opponents I guess the amount of rain varies. I've run with no more than 26% moisture on track and with 36%*. At 26% maximum moisture you can stay on RH. At 36% a stop for Inter's after lap one then push on for two laps on those Inter's is better.

*Possibly more but that's the largest amount I remember.
 
Won quite easily with a Level 30 Driver in a Xanavi Nismo GTR. It was Raining from Lap 1 all the way through to the end of Lap 2. Then it stopped finally. Track moisture went to 40% I stayed out the whole time on RH Tyres whilst half the field pitted on the 1st Lap. Took lead half way through lap 2. I had couple off track excurstions near the end when Bob was getting under pressure from some of the field catching up but was good. And OMG So much XP! :)
 
I just won it with a level 25 bob, Raybrig NSX tuned down to 600pp. Never pitted but it took alot of coaching.
 
Sent my level 35 bob in with a Raybrig NSX. Pitted for inters at the end of the first lap, half the field stayed out... finished 7th because my bob thinks that overtaking is stupid.

Sent him out again, this time in a Calsonic Impul GTR. Went to stay out and see if I could last on RH tyres, but everyone else pits and the track was at 50% and wouldn't dry up from there.

I think the GT5 gods hate me.

Just do it with the nsx and use RH the whole time...you will have it in under 2 attempts every time
 
This is weird as hell. The rain never went past 18%... RH's are working a treat, sitting 3rd. Should easily get to 1st by the straight at the end of lap 2.

EDIT: Won the race by over 19 seconds, with a time of 22:19.196 and the entire last lap was a dry one... quite surprised at how fast my BoB went. Got a Pegeout 908 HDi FAP - Team Oreca Matmut '10 for my efforts... was already saving for that!

That thing is proper beast for the 650pp B-spec events. Tune it to only around 465hp and put the rest in aerodynamics and keeping the weight off, and it will pay you back many times over! I just won the 10-lap Laguna Seca event by over 22 seconds using that car. He took 1st on Lap 4, and I just let him go on his way after that, and went and watched something on TV. If I'd kept him "hot", he'd have lapped more cars and won by a bunch more.
