The Human Comedy - Guide for all races

[schnick]

go the radical for kyoto, easy on fuel and tyres, just add a bit of weight to get the PP down and you're good to go, everything else bone stock for me and sports medium, 1 stop for tyres and a bit of fuel, one thing to note is the refuel rate is very slow, no stopper probably possible and easier with SH compared to 8c maybe

 

[Street Racer 77]

Did run it just once more.
Solis with 8c is doing 2 pits at 20 minutes and 40 minutes
Gallo with NSX is doing 1 pit at 30 minutes (for the tyres, 51% fuel left)
Carraza is no pitting, but losing big in the last 5 minutes.

I actually was having more trouble with the tyres than with fuel.
View attachment 1174200

Decided to give it another try with less weight and less power. The first try was almost stock car with reduced power to fit into PP 550, now it was weight reduction lvl3 and as much power removed as necessary.
this actually added 1 additional lap and still had more fuel left while also being a bit easier on the tyres - though it was more difficult to drive.

I did the race again yesterday. And as you also experienced, the 8C was on a 2 Stop and the NSX on a One stop. The Porsche didn't stop at all but was slow and tumbled down the order.
An easy win. 😊👍
No comparison to the first time where the 8C and NSX didn't stop at all.

And thanks for your tries 👍

8. Lage Maggiore Gr.3
My selection Jaguar on medium tyres.
FM1 and refueling for 10 laps on 2 stops after, dont forget to change to fresh tyres.
As long as your average lap time is 1.57 you are doing fine, you should be in the lead at around lap 5, as long as Rubilar and Beauvois are behind this is sufficient, because they are on the same pitting strategy.

Did this race 4 times now and there are AI cars that are doing 1.55 on hard tires and a 1-stop Strategie. And the race best time even is a 1.54

How do you make a 2 stop Strategie work? I always end up P13 and 50sec and more behind P1, even when I'm doing constant 1.57-1.58.
And on a 1 stop with hard tires and fuel saving I even end up worse than P13.

Also it doesn't really help that some cars divebomb from three cars behind and slingshot into your back on T1.

 

[Meythia]

Maybe if you are not driving on difficult the difficulty bug is still present?
Maybe you are more unlucky with random speed AI than I am?

Havent seen 1.54 yet, though at the later stages the AI did 1.55 occasionally.
Basically it goes like this.
1st stop

after 1st stop


AI on hard tyres goes pitting

2nd stop

after 2nd stop

and somewhere around this point it is "stay in front"

 

[Chris30]

The only races i've done in the human comedy is the first three, and I was able to get silver/bronze. So you really have to be a good driver to get first place and win! The AI seem hard in the 4th and 5th race.

I would say Human Comedy races 1 to 3 are more like teaching you how to drive essentially.
Race 1 and 2 really depend on practice, you dont have any other choice than using the car/tool you are being given.
Changing the setup can only be helpful to a certain amount.
Race 3 with a small selection of cars can be a varying experience, I didnt like the Honda S660 but Daihatsu Copen just felt so much better to me.
Race 1: learning to choose the right tyre for the situation and learning how to drive in changing weather
Race 2: learning to drive a car that has "too much power" and is giving you a handful when your throttle control is not sensitive enough
Race 3: learning to find the smoothest line possible, to keep up a high speed instead of too much braking and accelerating.

Race 4 to 6 can be applying the lessons learned, but you can opt for totally different strategies as you are very free in what car you drive. You can even find "op" cars that basically hand you a free win.
Race 5 for example you can use the Mazda RX7 with 787B engine swap (if available) and win by driving without going into the pits.

Thanks for the feedback, I will keep this in mind later. I guess i'll just do my best in each race/challenge, that's all we can do.

Finally completed Maggoire. It took getting the track down and then making no mistakes. I wasn’t the fastest I am sure, but I ran all 1:58 and some 1:57s. The computer ran some 1:55s, but they were not as consistent. Pitted on lap 11 and 21 only getting enough fuel to make it to the next pit. Used the Hyundai, it seemed to be the one I ran the fastest with. Made it into 1st on like lap 17, and then again by lap 27.

 

[KAlex122]

Little help please. Fast if possible. Doing the Human Comedy Nr. 7. RBR in Gr.3.

Exactly after half the race, rain starts. Nothing on the radar. A Bug possibly. I am pausing at the way to the Box. Which tyres do i ned? IM? Wets? RM again cause it will be over soon?

 

[KAlex122]

Couldnt wait. Tried Intermediates. Wets would have been better but it worked out and was an easy win.

Weather map seems to be bugged since latest patch, the same thing happens on Tsukuba(Race 1) where the weather map shows clear then starts raining. Also happens on lap 35 when it's raining cats and dogs, weather map still shows no rain.

Is Race 6(Alsace) bugged after latest update?
I'm using the Fairlady ᵶ and being overtaken AND out cornered by a 33HP samba bus. 🤣
Even worse is that any car I use feels like it's got bald tyres on whereas AI has racing slicks!

 

[srpst23]

If you read the comments from the racers prior to the start, one of them says that they are driving a Samba bus with a swapped engine. If you have the old Alpine race car, it makes a mockery of this race.

There is nothing wrong with the event. Many of the old cars just dont want to turn on comfort tyres.

delete this please. why can we not delete our own post?

The samba bus is 911 swapped.

you should say A110, since Alpine has two old race cars with the A220 as well. The A220 will not work for Alsace.

Get chaparral 2j, de-tuning will give you 320pp or smthn. Easy win


for Lake Maggiore, select normal difficulty, easy is bugged. Here is my strategy for it : https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-3-lake-maggiore.407354/page-21#post-13809904

I think that's been patched? Can't get it down lower than 500PP anymore.
Edit: Nevermind, messed around with the ballast and finally got it below 450. Chapparal is broken as hell 🤣

 

[Fezzik]

2 more completed today - slightly modified version of Praiano's tune for the Mono, for the Capp I basically just added as much power/torque upgrades as possible with a wide body/tyres and then detuned.

Tried to be as smooth as possible, turned off TC for the Kei car. Was able to go a couple of laps longer per stint than the AI, helped with fresher tyres in the later stages. Also switched from cockpit to chase for the Mono, gave a bit more control (but not as fun).

As the rain radar is bugged, I may skip Tsukuba for now and try Alsace again. Had major issues before, any car I tried felt horrid on those comfort tyres. Had to tune up my Willy just to get a bronze with the AWD.

If you're referring to the Alsace 1hr race, just use the Chaparral 2J with these settings and get an easy gold.

Don't own the car and not really interested in using a glitchy overpowered tune to cheese it - what's the point?

Someone suggested the Alpine and Alfa TZ2 - have those but don't think I've tried them yet, will see how it goes.

Just one page before this: I suggested Lancia Stratos (because the car can be used in 3 events and I just like how it handles in this game).

I did try it before for this race, pretty much stock, and it was not good. Tuned it for rally instead. Will have a look at your version, thanks (though I may need to buy another for the widebody, like to keep an original version in the garage).

 

[Trotskyite]

I tried the Alpine and several others.
The best car I found for Alsace one hour was the '69 Fairlady Z 432. Priano has a 500pp setting. I used his suspension and rear end numbers.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/praianos-tunes-settings-for-gt7.404868/page-74#post-13716426

Setting Changes for Alsace: Comfort Soft, No Turbo, Bore Up, Camshaft, Wing Front : 25 Rear: 150.
ECU: 92, Output 100. Ballast: 129 lb, -13 weight distribution.
Customizable MANUAL: 190 Top. Final 4.852, 1.046, 1.281, 1.654, 2.252, 3.261
449.76pp
Built, raced and won post July 1 so hasn't been nerfed yet.

good luck

Try ford gt40 or alpine a220. Easy win, specially gt40.
But the best thing you can do with any car you choose is go with comfort softs. They will last for the entire stint.

 

[Fezzik]

Thanks for all the tips. Finally beat it today in the Alfa. Played around with the ride height to let me use the softs, otherwise completely stock.

 

[Sunzi]

With the BOP changes or new categories rather, is the Hyundai Genesis still a strong contender for Maggiore?

ALSACE PRE-‘79 MISSION

Just a quick heads up: the LCD now has the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 and it is flat out the best car I tried for the Alsace mission. Like the Alpine A220, it's light and has a lot of power but has a much lower PP score. Just add some ballast and a reduce the ECU (not the power restrictor) to 91 (more on this in a bit), fiddle with the transmission to limit the top end but raise the bottom end dramatically, and you're good to go. Run it full tilt at FM1! Add this to my list of "glitch cars," but it's fun to drive.

As for the ECU, for some reason there is a weird break point at 91. It interacts with the transmission settings to really give you some gift PPs. Plus I decided to use this instead of the power restrictor because I went with very (VERY) short gears and I wanted to keep the power band in the high RPMs rather than stretch it out like the restrictor does. With the short gears for all the turns and a power band in the high revs I was able to get to third place by the second lap at which point I set my best ever lap time (~1:27.8xx). I could have overtaken the lead two drivers but I was driving at the edge of my abilities and I knew they'd pit before me anyway, so I just hung behind. At FM1 I lasted until around the 13th lap with something like 28:00 remaining, so I stopped for fuel and no tires because the car is so dang light even with he ballast added. After fuel and no tires I pulled out still in first by about 3 seconds (not changing tires really made the difference!). I was able to pull ahead by about a second a lap until P2 and P3 pitted again, at which point I cruised to a finish nearly a minute ahead (if I recall correctly . . . I was pretty tired).

I tried the new Ferrari 250 GT as well, but it's so loose and aggravating. The Giulia is definitely the better of the two for this particular race because the Ferrari is going to require a lot of tuning. FWIW, they are both worth the cost because they are a lot of fun to drive!!!!

Was searching for whoever recommended the Alfa - thanks, I won with it yesterday. Didn't need to do much, ECU to 97, comfort softs and a bit of fiddling with ride height. Everything else stock.

Was close with the 300 SL and 2000GT until they both pitted on lap 11. The Alfa was just sipping fuel even on FM1, I made it to lap 15 on automatic gears. Had 20s lead as I came out of the pits, extended it to 40s before they pitted again near the end, cruised to victory by a minute (this is on normal difficulty). Never even saw the Sambabus. Fastest lap 2:27, average was around 2:28.500. I did swap tyres at the stop but there was really no need, only a sliver of red showing at the time.

My post is outdated now that they patched the transmission glitch. I’m glad the car is still a winner though! I loved driving that thing in that race.

I tried Lake Maggoire in the AMG gt3 on normal difficulty and everything was fine until my last pit stop. I got new mediums and 10.5 laps of fuel like my previous stop. BMW pitted at the same time but manages to get out way way ahead of me for some reason with a full tank of fuel. Something is definitely up with that. I was getting constant 1' 57"s and even some low 1' 56" laps... I ended up in 2nd like 10 seconds behind with perfect driving. I was in the lead by 6 seconds when we pitted. I'm going to try it again in a few minutes and I'll take pics if it happens again.
