I’m sorry for my absence! Juggling a whole family with winter vomiting disease, moving to a new house, livery editor competition, and this.. gets a little much sometimes.
I’ll update OP as soon as I can, in the next couple of days. Unless a moderator can help me out in the meantime.


This is not a Human Comedy endurance race, but all endurances might be added eventually..

Ask the creator, @EmilThaudal :)
Thanks. Missed that part. Haven't been on a message board in 20 years!
 
I'm happy to share my first tune, just finished the endurance mission on Alsace with the good old Ferrari 308 GTB at 450pp.

At the beginning of the game, I overtuned this car a lot which made it not drivable, I thought I would never use it again, but I tried my best to make it fit on this event, and it actually did well.

Best lap at 2:26.067, average lap at 2:28, 24 laps, 2 stops (every 20 minutes), best AI was the 300 SL 53 seconds behind.

You don't need to tune up all the engine parts like I did, just set everything else "as is", and then tweak ECU/power restrictor to match the 450pp.
Also, I kept the spoiler and wing just for style, but you can remove it to save some pp that you can use to power up the car or lighten the ballast.

About transmission, set it to 200 km/h and then raise the "final" offset so that 5th gears reaches the max speed for the car on that track (182 Km/h). You don't need to touch the 1 to 5 gears, just set max speed to 200 and adjust "final" to reach around 182 for 5th gear.

Oh yeah, I also have a wide body on that car and wide rims + wide offset.

Also that car is very nice to drive at that performance level, there has been some turns where I was very late, and you can always manage to keep it safe, losing some time of course, but not hitting a wall or spinning out that could ruin the race.

If you use it, please give your best lap time, I'm a rookie I wonder how low it could go.

P. S. Just forgot to tell that I used fuel map 1 all along (that's usually the case when not mentioned I suppose)

Just finished tsukuba race with Praiano's settings.
Strategy:
1) start with racing soft, map 1, enter pit when run out of fuel
2) at pit, racing soft, full tank, map 1 and again enter when fuel runs out
3) at pit, intermediate, full tank, map 1 going up to 6 while rain comes and grip goes, resist as much as possible with fuel then pit
4) at pit, wet (no intermediate), full tank, map 6 while it rains, then go down to 5-4 when track dry up, make calc with fuel map to arrive to the end
I did 56 laps with this strategy, 2nd did 55. I lapped at .59 high, 1.00 low on dry with racing soft
 
Now just finished Kyoto driving park with Amemyia RX7 550pp by Praiano, with following modifications to use sports hard:
  • sport medium -> sport hard
  • turbo none -> high RPM
  • power restrictor 90 -> 84
  • ECU 84 -> 85

Map 1 all the time, only one stop after 11 laps. Average lap time 2:48-2:49, best 2:46. There is an opponent that goes really fast, but it will pit so don't worry about him. I had 1 minute gap and I managed to start the 22nd lap with 1 second left on 1h timer, so ended with 1 lap margin on all :) I could have slowed down to end the race at 21 laps, but it was fun to race the rx7 so... Why not :)

EDIT: I forgot to write which race I just finished :P

Took some cue off others setup , making it high off the ground and maximising the downforce 😄

Fuel map 1 all the way. Pits every 20 minutes
First stint was just trying to get ahead most of the racers up till 5th. Second stint is where I get to 5 sec behind top 2. Third stint is where I overtook them and slowly gain every lap. Fresh tyres allow me 3 laps of 2:26. Otherwise most of my laps are averaging 2:28-2:29.

Also key advice is to have a feel of the car and the track for first few laps , find the limits of each corners. Then redo the event once you are comfortable. This will make the win easier.

I would have used Praiano Honda Beat setup but I had thrown so much upgrade to the s660, I just stick with it 🤣

Completed Deep forest with praiano's Mclaren 650S Gr.4, just changed tyres to Racing Hard and increased power to reach 620pp.
Pretty straight forward strategy, map 1 all the time, pit once around mid race (I did at 28 mins left), all laps in 1:36.xxx, with just few above for overtakes, mistakes and few below (best 1:35.523), ended with 16s margin on the other Mclaren 650s.
Ignore the taycan, it goes super fast (made best lap in 1:34.1xx), but it pits 4 times and finished 9th. Your opponent is the mclaren
 
Now completed alsace... Pretty hard one!
I used Praiano's A110 messed up: comfort soft, rear height to min, front height to max, ballast max and all to the front, all of this to reduce PP as much as possible. Then set the power output to reach 450pp.
1 stop, map 2 for the first stint, then change to 1 when you are sure to reach the end in second stint. Don't change tyres at pit, they last the whole race almost untouched.
Average lap time was 2:30, with some 2:29 and other laps above, due to traffic, overtakes, kill attemps by AI...
Sambabus is stupidly fast, he lapped 2:26.0 as best and arrived 2nd, 12 seconds behind me, with 4 pit stops!
 
Red Bull Ring done. Strange one... I used Mclaren F1 GTR and strategy by @Unleashed Drivers to predict the weather.
1° stint: RS, 10 laps, pit at 10, 1:34 avg time, map 2
2° stint: RS, 8 laps, pit at 18, 1:34 avg time, map 2
3° stint: WET, 7 laps, pit at 25, 1:54 avg time, mpa 2
4° stint: RS, 11 laps, end at 36, 1:39 avg time, map 3 (to be sure to reach the end of the race, including the final lap)
The french guy was leading with laps in 1:31 low, but he made a lot of pits. He was still ahead of me by 20s when rain stopped, then he lost all the gap in 2 laps going super slow behind lapped cars... I overtook him and got a lead by 30s, then I started losing few seconds each lap by I ended with 20s margin.
Long story short... Don't give up and go to the end of the race!
 
I have a question for these events, is it possible to win them at all without changing the gear transmissions?

Tried doing the Mazdea Roadster event of the Human Comedy this afternoon but it did not end well and lapped 4 times.

Even thoiugh I know stock gearbox settings can be awful I am always reluctant to change them because then I have to change it again for other races etc.

Yes , you don’t need to change any gear ratio. Just make sure you add enough upgrades and if over , throw in some ballast

Thanks, I will retry it again now and see how I do, think I understand where my setup went wrong, I changed the power ratio rather than ballast, oops! :confused:

Depending how much overshot your PP are, ballast reduction might not be as significant as in power restrictor.

Fair point, I tried the race again after but really struggled with the first stint of rain where the track is still dry, for some reason the Mazda really did not want to brake at Turn 1 and the Dunlop turn so I kept running off track.

Will try this again at the weekend as I know the win is there just seems a bit of a struggle to stay with the top 6 in that first stint of rain.

EDIT: Well I just redid the first race in The Human Comedy at Tsukuba Circuit using the Roadster exactly as I set yesterday but following that post which mentioned difficulty might be bugged I changed my setting to Hard and sure enough I got 4th place rather than being 3 laps down...

I would have won but that stupid bollard sign at the entrance to the pits on my last pit stop reset the car to track so I had to go an extra lap on worn tyres which meant the Ai came out ahead but I'll get it next run for sure!

Thanks for this, worked like a charm.
 
Mazda Roadster Touring Car 600PP

Strategy is RS until it really starts raining. Switch onto Wets (full wet) and drive them until the end.

Transmission
Set TS to 220
Set gear ratios as per image
Set final gear
Do not adjust unless needed for another track.

Tsukuba 1hr

Took me two attempts to do this one. The weather changed for both. The first race had two stints of rain (one moderate, and then a heavy down pour after a short dry patch), and my second attempt only had one patch of rain between laps 29-45 (which only required me to use IM tires). The plan here is to stay out at least one extra lap from the top two runners. Keep the FM at level 1 (may need to switch to 2 to stay out that extra lap or two) for the majority of the time. I was able to lap the circuit in the 60s range when dry. 62-63s range with traffic. I'm positive you can go faster with a softer tire, yet the wear on the RH is very minimal. This allows for very consistent laps if you have multiple dry runs (no need to change the tires, just get gas to save time).

No tuning was really done to my MX-5, besides lowering the front camber by .1, and adjusting the differential to my liking. I did buy and install the following parts.
  • Racing brakes
  • Racing brake pads
  • Racing intake
  • Fully customizable differential
  • Brake bias controller
  • RH tires
  • IM tires
  • W tires

Trail Mountain 1hr

Took me one attempt to complete this one. Completely dry event. I kept the stock tires on the car and was able to lap as fast (if not faster once their tires wore down) than the AI, and stay out longer. They'll pit on lap 9, yet you can pit on lap 11 once you run out of gas. Keep the FM on level 1.

Since this is a very light car, small adjustments were made to the suspension. Yet you will need to get the racing manual transmission to adjust the top speed to 300km/h. Below are the list of parts I bought and installed.

  • Fully customizable differential
  • Fully customizable transmission - racing
  • Racing brakes
  • Racing pads
  • Brake bias controller

Autopolis 1hr

Took me one attempt to complete this dry event. The goal here is to pit one lap after the front runners. Keep the FM on level 1, yet switch to level 2 on the final sector of your pit-in lap so you won't run out of gas.

My setup for the S660 is not as powerful as the AI. I couldn't catch anyone down the straights (even in the draft), yet I could out brake and corner them. So if you choose this setup, you'll need to be smooth and carry a lot of momentum through the corners and transitions. The AI should be lapping the circuit in the upper 2m:25s-to-2m:26s range (this is on Hard difficulty - if that matters).

Thanks friend.

I also overtuned my GTB very heavily and didn't have a suitable car for the Alsace Human Comedy mission (Well the cars I had were boats with bad fuel economy and awful handling).

I tested this tune for two laps and am impressed. I didn't have an hour to really try the full race - I will do it tonight but the car's handling I excellent for the age so I'm optimistic.

Thanks. You potentially saved me a lot of credits searching for a suitable classic car (Countach or something)

Hi... This is my first post but I've been reading the forum since GT7 release..
I left the car stock, Racing hard, fuel map 5 and stay out as long as possible on the first stint. Then come in for Intermediates and up to fuel map 4. Stay on them as long as possible and pit for fuel and another set of intermediates to get you to the end. You'll be far behind at first but the AI pit a lot to change tyres as the weather changes so you'll catch back up and pass them only doing 3 stops (I'm on controller too)

Just did this strat. 2 tries. Never been near p2, they always have a +30sec over me. Running FL 2:25 and average 2:28. Normal difficulty. I don't understand :(

Bump it up to the hard difficulty. There seems to be some bug that makes the AI faster in the lower levels, but it’s normal at the higher difficulty. I definitely saw this at Tsukuba, and just left it on hard for the others as well.
 
Kyoto 1hr

I used the latest version of the WRX STi for this one. With this setup, it's not the fastest down the straights, yet you'll make up time under breaking and cornering (all phases). I only pitted once on lap 11 because the front tires were half worn (even after changing the torque bias from 50:50 to 35:65 after the first 4 laps), yet there was close to 4 laps of fuel left in the tank. Refueling here takes a long time. Once I added another 10 laps worth of fuel, the top 4 went by so I had to chase them down again. Yet once I got into 1st place, I lowered the FM from 1 to 4 to maintain the gap to 2nd place. This race took me a total of 21 laps.

Some of the front runners pitted on lap 7 and 8, then a couple pitted on lap 14.

You're welcome, I hope it did good in the full race as well.
