[HBR-Roadhog]

I would recommend the Audi R8 LMP with red or yellow tip for this race. The car is very quick and handles very well.
I used the R19 AE myself which was good enough to win a trophy but I did not win every race, had some issues in a couple of them. I went back with the R8 [stock] and placed 1st in every race without a problem

 

[TheDabbinDave]

I used the Monster Pikes Peak car. Got hammered at Bathurst by the AI punting me several times. Finished 7th. I won Laguna Seca even though the lead AI drove through me, I spun and did t get glued to the fence this time. Spa was a beautify race at 8am! First lap when we got on top of the hill on lap 1, I was hit by 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th place!!! I was in dead last and managed to win comfortably. Nurburgring was a nightmare. The AI is on rails and out for blood!!! I would've won Silverstone, but OF COURSE I got punted because I was racing in the racing line!

Why do the headlights not work on this car??? The AI had headlights for every race that needed them. Mine did not work.

I've used the R18 AE before and that car struggled against lower class cars! I'll try the R8 TDI.

 

[hennesy]

thats why im grinding for cash just gonna buy my favorite stealth car from gt5 the Mazda 787B

 

[Ninners]

I actually managed to gold this in a fully tuned R18 from the Anniversary edition package

 

[sems4arsenal]

Hint, Bathurst is probably the hardest of the championship so if you finish 2nd or even 3rd don't quit.

 

[sumbrownkid]

I found this to be a walk in the park in an R18 TDi.

 

[JDMsk8r]

This Championship is managable with a fully tuned Tommy Kaira ZZll. I got gold on all events except Nurburgring 24h I managed 4th after clipping grass & spinning out

 

[JackRyanWMU]

Used the Bentley Speed 8 with a low range turbo upgrade. Won all races except Nurburgring, where I was 4th or 5th. (Keeping an LMP on that narrow twisty track at night is hard!)

 

[HuskyGT]

Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. Best option in my humble opinion. I was going to try one of the new cars, but due to the bad experience I had with the GT3 Audi R8, I rather stick with the cars I know.

I would've finished this championship if it wasn't for my game freezing for the first time...

 

[Texaco]

I was expecting touring cars, not lmp cars. So I entered with my stock hsv ae edition and came second on the first two races. Luckily got first in the last three. Will go back with my R18 and win first two

 

[GT5Power]

Mercedes VGT baby.

RACE 1

So here we go, the Vette LM was able to take 6 positions easily due to its 1100kg and of course, its 900hp. So when I was able to reach the top 5, they were starting to be aggressive a bit but luckily, I took 1st but when we are now in the 4th lap, The MINOLTA kept trying to overtake me but its no use, I kept blocking til the finish so its done, I finished 1st and here are the standings

1: Corvette ZR1 LM - 100 pts
2: MINOLTA Toyota 88C-V Race Car- 75
3: Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car- 60 pts
4: 787B '91- 50 pts

[FishHunters]

I used my MONSTER!!! SX4 with the 3rd stage turbo! Caught the V12 on the next to last lap on Motegi. Rest was cake. The Corvette LM would do it too.

 

[JogoAsobi]

Total walk in the park with SLS AMG GT3 '11/turbo upgrade, FG adjustment per-track.

 

[GT5Power]

@FilipinoGTUser1, there is a mistake in the championship standings; I don't recall second place getting 80 points

RACE 2
Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway(CAKEWALK.)

I described this race as a cakewalk because I mastered Laguna Seca from GT2 to present even without driving aids, so now the second race begins and just like Bathurst Circuit, I took 6 positions easily and was able to catch up to the top 3, and when we reached Lap 2, the MINOLTA suddenly spun out of control in the Corkscrew corner and because of that, the Sauber took second while I left the opposition behind and giving me a big lead and leading to a easy victory plus a power boost, from 903 to 920hp. So now I have the upper hand and here are the standings so far.

1. Corvette ZR1 LM Race Car '09- 200pts
2. Sauber C9 Mercedes Race Car- 165pts
2. MINOLTA Toyota 88C-V Race Car- 165 pts
4. 787B Race car '91- 100pts
5. V12 LMR Race Car- 85pts
6. 908 HDI FAP (Team Matmut Oreca)'10- 75pts
6. GT-One (TS020) '99- 75pts
8. 905II Bis LM- 50pts
9. Corvette ZR1 LM Race Car '09- 30pts
10. R390 GT1 '98- 20pts
11. Vertigo Race Car '04- 15pts
11. R8 LMS Ultra- 15pts
13. S1 Audi Sport Quattro- 0pt
14. D2 CLK Touring Car- 0pt
15. GTR GT500 Stealth Model- 0pt
16. SKYLINE R33 Touring Car- 0pt

RACE 3
Circuit De Spa Francorchamps

This is a good track because a lot of high speed corners along the way including straightaways, my Corvette ZR1 LM was able to release its top speed thanks to this and because of that, the MINOLTA kept getting close contacts to me but once again, the Sauber took 2nd while the MINOLTA bounced back to 4th. And I once again left the competition behind in Laps 3-5. And took a good victory while going to the forth race. So here the standings.

1. Corvette ZR1 LM Race Car '09- 300pts
2. Sauber C9 Mercedes Race Car- 230pts
3. MINOLTA Toyota 88C-V Race Car- 215pts
4. 787B Race car '91- 165pts
5. V12 LMR Race Car- 125pts
6. 908 HDI FAP (Team Matmut Oreca)- 120pts
7. GT-One (TS020)'99- 105pts
8. 905II Bis LM- 75pts
9. Corvette ZR1 LM Race Car- 55pts
10. R390 GT-1 '98- 35pts
10. Vertigo Race Car '04- 35pts
12. R8 LMS Ultra '12- 15pts
13. S1 Audi Sport Quattro- 0pts
14. GTR GT500 Stealth Model- 0pts
15. SKYLINE R33 Touring Car- 0pts

Used a R35 Touring Car, I needed 4WD traction to control all that power!

hmmmm, does a GTR Touring Car looked like a GTR GT3?

To an extent it does, but the majority of Aero Parts are different and the TC is 4WD (unlike the FR GT3)

but still, who dominates?

but still, who dominates?

Winning was easy in the R35 TC, though I had to hold off the Minolta on long straights due to the 206mph top speed.

no I mean, whos better, the R35 TC or the GTR GT3?

Oh right, I would say the R35 TC since it is easier to control and can be tuned further than the GT3.
