For as much as people have bad-mouthed the Ford GT '05, I was surprised to find this car damn good. Apart from an oil change and a suspension mod, my Ford GT was stock and it beat all the other cars in the race with extreme prejudice (even the beloved Saleen). Just learn to use the brake pedal, and the GT will reward you with its quickness.

I did it a couple weeks ago, at the time the only car in my garage it would allow was my SL600 that I bought in the used car lot for $136,000. I have modded that car to a very high degree and it let me in fine. I won doing it on a -spec without too much work.

I'm also having an extremely hard time on this series. I've got gold on every race except for the last one. I've tried (all of these fully tuned) a newer Ruf, S7, AMG 65, & a Skyline GT-R but no luck. I always come in second. I even tried B-Specing it but the computer always comes in 4 or something. I'm beginning to think it may just be impossible to win this race...

On which races do you mean??? I am having problems with Supercars festival in PROFESSIONAL hall, where you CAN NOT tune your car. You must have a car over 500PS, and no modification is alowed, except brakes, suspension, transmission etc. but no engine or turbo is allowed. Are you talking about something else, or what?

I've done this "Festival" two ways, All A-Spec, and All B-Spec. Both of which I won with my Skyline (Mentioned in sig.) Its HEAVILY modded, around 800HP and can make S7's and McLarens kiss its ass. And yes you can have Turbine Kits and still race it.

The Cien is "ready-modded" - full racing exhaust. But it's because it's a Concept Car, not a normal roadcar.
Follow:
Nismo 270R (iA licence pass car) to Costa di Amalfi (Normal). Win Subaru Impreza '01 Prototype.
Subaru Impreza '01 Prototype to Boxer Spirit. Win Ruf CTR2.
Ruf CTR2 + turbo (530hp) to Supercar Challenge. Destroy all. Rule world with iron fist.

BMW M5 with a SPORT exhaust (love that F1 sound this beauty makes), chip and racing suspension. That's all I needed to obliterate all the competition. Went up against the SLR, ZZII, DB9, Zonda C12 and Spyker. Le Sarthe straights? Forget about it! The only car that gave me some trouble on the twisty bits was the Tommy Kaira ZZII, but I managed to win all the races with some fancy overtaking. If you're uncomfortable with the M5's weight in the corners, I recommend the brakes upgrade and perhaps a stage 2 lightweight conversion.

completed Supercar Festival with:
Saleen S7 (stock) - check
Jaguar Xj220 (stock) - check
Zonda C12S 7.3 (stock) - check
Ford GT 05 (stock) - check
Mercedes SLR (stock) - check
Mercedes SL65 AMG (stock) - check
Spyker C8 Laviolette (with chip and muffler to pass 500hp) - check
Callaway C12 (with NA stage 2 to pass 500hp) - check
RUF CTT2 (stock) - check
Buick Special (stock) - check
I have done this series 4 times to obtain all 4 colours of the Cizeta. It truly is not that difficult. Just modulate your braking, don't lock up the tires, and know the course.

You mean the CTR aka Yellow Bird. And all I did was but a Racing intercooler on it and I won no problem. However, if you do this, always avoid the Cien and avoid the ZZII on Midfield.

I had no problem with this series, drove a ford GT (I bought) and did some mods (no engine mods) trans and weight red. won it pretty easily. It is harder on the faster tracks but lots of fun. I wanna try it in a corvett and see what happens but I bet you need to mod it all the way to win with it we'll see what happens.speedy_samurai

But I don`t understand only one thing. It says that you can`t race these races with modified cars, yet someone said that he raced it with "fuly modified" car. How? Can someone explain can I race it with modified cars, or not. Thanks.
I would have done it myself, but I haven`t got the time, tommorow I am going on a one day trip to Munchen!

It confused me too - since I got myself a new unmodified Cadillac Cien to try theis series with, and it wasn't allowed.
I bought a standard Ford GT05 and could only win one race (New York). On the straights I just couldn't compete. I got bored of the series and modded my GT05 - then noticed it was still allowed in the series.
The 'No modifications' only applies to weight reduction I beleive.

Get a Z06 Corvette. Put a wing on it and max the downforce. Buy engine mods to get you to about 625 HP. Buy all the best drivetrain, chassis, and lightening mods. Get Soft Sport tires.
Use this setup:
http://www.gtvault.com/SetupDisplay.cfm?SetupID=0402J8445086927CA06240441
Give it a little more TCS than Fumes' indicated. Slide the Final drive all the way right to 5.00. Slide the Autoset to 25, then back to 1 and leave it there. Now you have the closest possible ratios on your 6-speed. Adjust the Final for each track, or set it at about 3.75 and leave it if you're lazy.
Kick ass.

I believe when it says 'no modifications', it only excludes race cars and concept cars. As far as I know, you can mod a regular car pretty heavily and still be allowed in. For example, the GT '05 I won the series in had quite a lot of mods done to it, including engine modifications. I think I raced it with about 650BHP and therefore won pretty easily.
