620PP - Deep Forest Raceway
Car: Atenza Gr.4
Tuning: Mid turbo, power restricted to 620pp
Tyres: RH
Pit Stops: None
Won this without pitting and running between 1:36 and 1:38 depending on traffic, tyre wear and fuel mapping. Not sure if it's a post-1:15 update change, but the Taycan wasn't really a problem and actually came third. Inostroza was quick for his first stint, but came out right in front of me and didn't disappear off into the distance.
Started to run fuel 2 at 30 mins as I'd used just over half my fuel. Was able to go back to fuel 1 with about 10 mins to go.
Final few laps on 50% worn fronts/30% worn rears and still pulling 1:38s meant it was easy to control the gap to the end.
As a note, I also won the 550PP - Kyoto without pitting with a tuned Radical SR3 (I'll find the tune if anyone's interested) with some heavy fuel saving at times.

I did it now with an untuned Radical on a 1 stopper. 0 stopper could definitely work, but I prefer fresher tires. I might've not needed fuel. I added 2.5 laps worth on the stop, but I'm pretty sure I had a good amount left at the end.
Ending time was 1:02:02.718 at 22 laps with a fastest lap of 2:44.562 on lap 18. Though I was in the 2:47s most of the race or thereabout.

My original plan was a one stopper half way, but at 30 mins I was only just below half a tank and the tyres didn't feel too bad so I took the gamble and played the 'fuel saving and matching the gap to second place' game for 20 minutes. Basically, if the gap comes down, so does the fuel saving. If the gap is stable or growing, then I'd go to high fuel saving and short shift more.

Here's a great strategy I used to win the BAC Mono Trial Mountain race.
Start on SM tires. Pit around lap 10 and accidentally hit the don't change tires button. Struggle for the next 5 laps and pit on lap 15 for fresh SM tires, retaking the lead on lap 19. Manage your tires and fuel until the end of the race, and aggressively defend your position from 2nd place on the last lap to cross the finish line in first.
Hope to never do that race again.

I used this gross Cappuccino build for Autopolis. I'm an average driver and was lapping between 2:19 and 2:24. 2 stop strategy, FM1. Shift super early (I was taking the second to last corner in 4th). Bags of torque low down.
No doubt there's room for improvement on all aspects of this, but jacking it up and adding max ballast in favour of more power/torque seemed to be a very good use of PP and I'd bet the other Kei cars are even faster.

Tried the BAC mono at Trial Mountain, 1st attempt I tried Softs and going all out for a 2 stopper and got 2nd with 4sec gap, tried it again but this time a 1 stopper on Mediums with short shifting on FM 3 & 4 in the first half, after the pit stop for fresh rubber and a full tank I used more rich Fuel Maps, also this car is better with higher gears in the turns in my opinion.

Yeah, it snaps quickly if you don't control the throttle. I started upshifting especially as the tires were going away. The first section was a bit smoother going in 5th and 6th gear.

I got some ideas from Praiano's A110 tune for Alsace and applied them to the A220 race car. I was running 2:28s once I settled down and got a few 2:27s towards the end of the race when I was on the 1st fuel map.
The car did feel a bit understeery, but it didn't have the issue of snapping sideways like the other cars, which loses you a lot of time.

I just managed to get gold on all the other challenges except the Human comedy ones. I got bronze on the Miyata Challenge on my 2nd attempt. so I fear my skills are not enough to do a lot better. I willalready be happy with bronze on all. Are you guys able to do it without the use of a steering wheel and pedals? Some months ago I was still using the arrow keys and switched to using the stick instead.
Also I won bronze by changing difficulty level to the hardest. This seems to be a bug in the game but not sure if the bug is valid for the other challenges. I meanwhile bought and tuned several cars for all the human comedy races, based on youtube and threads like this but every time I test-drive a few laps, I see the guy in front taking 4 to 5 seconds a lap.

I had to re-run the Miata mission 5 times to work out how to beat it but it is indeed much harder since a recent update (maybe 1.15) fuel consumption/Transmission (or maybe both) have changed aswell as the PP ratings IMO.
This (Tsukuba) and Maggiore are the hardest of the Human Comedy's IMO but my strategy is here - if you seek Gold, maybe you will find it helpful:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/sunzis-scrapbook.409308/post-13749979
The difference in completion times was 51 seconds and all cars virtually lapped from when I easily won it originally - think that's quite significant!

I meanwhile won gold on 1st attempt for the race with the KTM with only 4 seconds to spare on the 2nd one (I started struggling for grip and he was putting good laptimes). Hooray 
Now I'm trying to prepare all the necessary cars for these races now I notice for instance I can't get the same performance on the Kei car as I find everywhere (0-60 in 16,79). I have to restrict the power more to het below 400PP. I bought a second one because I thought I did something wrong. There is a mole between the makers of this game. a saddistic one. last purchase was the renault megane trophy '11 for the deep forest. The cheat way doesn't seem to work anymore

meanwhile got a disapointing 9th place in the deep forest race with the supra racecar and got even few laptimes below 1:37:00 best 1:36:553. But... occasionally I slightly hit a wall on an exit or get a penalty for taking too much curve on turn nr 4 (i think).
I tried kyoto with the Radical SR3 SL and won with 23 seconds ahead on 1st attempt. It was just a very consistent car that enables you to go on the throttle quite early. lucky guess to try it actually. I just picked it because it was quite close to the 550PP limit. Is that not most of the time the best strategy? I mean is it not better not to downtune a car, just take something that comes close to the requirements and adjust only little?

Detuning a car can sometimes give a huge advantage with fuel consumption, good example would be using the Gr.2 cars in 800PP races. With road cars it's hit or miss really because the PP system is really inconsistent across a range of cars. Which way you reduce the PP of a car also varies depending on the track, car and fuel use/tyre wear.

This MR2 @praiano63 is smooth. Changed tires with 20 minutes left on the timer. Normal difficulty level. Even stopped before the finish line to run off 40 seconds so that I didn't have to run another lap.

anyone know how I can avoid being overtaken in the straights in the kei car race?
If I look at the weight, power, acceleration of some of these setups, it seems the makers have changed it. I can not reacht 0-100 in 16,79 but rather in 17,3. 100-150 in 13 seconds and more...
I'm just hanging in 15/16 place for 5 laps until I just give up.

I bought a suzuki cappucino and tuned it (search youtube), and did a test run (never practiced this track). I was already able to drive a 2:28 on the first lap so I kept driving; started dropping down to 1:30 and 1:32, then drove 1:30 for a while and the 2nd half, started improving to 1:27 laps untill the end of the race. came in 3rd with 2 and 6 seconds behind. so it's doable now I know the track better...
highly recommend the suzuki. I can imagine experienced gamers can set much better laptimes than me with the suzuki.
edit: did the kei car race again. I could constantly run 2:27 - 2:28 and even did a couple of 2:26 .Only that wasn't enough. I just managed to catch the 2nd guy and still was 19 seconds behind the leader. unbelievable...
edit2: won the kei car race by 1minute 1 second ahead. I was on the leaders tail end of lap 3 and noticed once I passed him, he started pushing. I managed to loose him after the first pitstop on fresh tires. I did all this with practically the same laptime average as previous attempt but I did improve my lap time record to 2:25:241. 3 more gold medals to win to finish the human 'comedy'

He's right. I won the first two races based on the suggestion without a problem. But the Kei car race seems just impossible. First of all, the original tune under v1.17 is worth 415 PP, not 400. I've cut it down to 806 kg and 96 HP with the medium turbo, aero upgrades, fully customizable non-racing transmission (180 km/h), fully customizable suspension and LSD, no braking upgrade. After getting used to the car and track, I'm still at 2:27, while the AI is driving 2:26 and I'm not a bad driver.
3x SS each 20 minutes, FM1, traction control 5, won by 2 laps (except 2nd and 3rd) 😄

Hello, read my reply above, use the Suzuki cappucino. It's quick, stable. play with the balast and power restrictor to get the best possible performance on you left side of the settings and you will be fast. I managed to reach 2:25 with a normal controller and I am quite an average driver.

now help me with the Miyata challenge😭. Can't do better than 1:00:600. how to ride smooth with this Miyata an entire lap...
I got 1st for some 4 laps before my first pitstop when the others pitted ealier (about 5 seconds lead) so I thought it was not looking too bad.
When changing tires on lap 33 right before the hard rain... I accidentally pressed intermediates again...
lost so much time sliding from left to right... I still ended 4th though... so frustrating to loose an entire hour every time.
my strategy:
I have set the car with Medium race tires to max PP (softs cannot be used for the entire race). I try to make it upto 20 laps by increasing the fuel economy every few laps but I needed to change around 18 laps ( I should try to increase it faster next time to save the IM tires a bit and combine it with fuel economy 1). After that I go to intermediates until end of lap 33 (fuel economy 2/3), then I go for wets untill lap 46/47 and change to mediums again (fuel economy 1).

I think you can do one less stop. Somebody before recommended sticking it out on slicks for the first rain and it seems to work.
See below for my strategy
I used no TCS in the dry and tcs1 in the wet. I don't remember my lap times.

Yeah, that did the trick. Although I hate these high ride height tunes, I was able to drive 2:24-2:28 based on tire age and gain on leader.
I did it based on this strategy. Even had to pit for IMs and run a dry lap on them, because I was out of fuel a lap early and also didn't use the softs in last stint.now help me with the Miyata challenge😭. Can't do better than 1:00:600. how to ride smooth with this Miyata an entire lap...
