Yeah off topic, but had to give this ago.Is not that hard.
You must to setup well the car. 599pp. 997kg, 260cv, sport soft. Laps in 1.02, win by 1sec
Its not the need to use the Tomahawk, its flat out fun, I thought thats what Gran Turismo was all about.Once you get the hang of gt7 and learn all the necessary techniques in driving, you won't need to use the tomahawk for this event.
The Tomahawk X made it boring anyways, shouldn't have been in the franchise in the first place because once it was in GT7, It became a perfect car for cheaters, And I don't think it should be in Gran Turismo 8 at all because people could do the same exploit again and again. It should remain useless to prevent it from happening again. Because if the car was real, Most drivers would die from driving the car And that's exactly why you should never raise a Tomahawk X unless you're on Special Stage Route X for testing speed where it belongs. Also, races in real life are regulated so That's why new races have restrictions because races in real life are all restricted. They should never have races where you can use any car you want. In real life, You have to conform to regulations in quarter to race, And if you don't, they won't let you in.And if you don't, they won't let you in.Its not the need to use the Tomahawk, its flat out fun, I thought thats what Gran Turismo was all about.

PD probably doesn't care. They're making GT7 closer to real life. Like leaving the Tomahawk X out of races for good and plans to get rid of it for Gran Turismo 8 because it's a "cheater's car".It is a game and not a real life.
Yes 549ppYeah off topic, but had to give this ago.
Wow, didnt think this car would do a 1:02, also.. think you meant 549pp.
I had fun with it, yeap it is a bit untamed but I slapped on this one aero front and rear, did a widebody (one can go without it) and it drives pretty much OK, any changes to Diff or suspension will eat front tyres, and if you go for different power distribution, you are provoking it yet again... try this setup, as I said I had fun with it...So, I've seen many people share their opinions on cars they used for the event and strategies, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and share my overall thoughts on what cars I personally think are good and what aren't.
Bit of a premise, I made this list of cars based on some requirements:
So, let's go with the first one of the bunch:
- Every car reaches 600pp by having medium tyres on and every possible aero component+wide body, which is, I think, one of the ways the developers thought people would take on this race;
- My opinion is based on a one stop strategy, so I've considered fuel economy and how good a car is with tyre wear in my final judgement on the car's performance;
- Lap times will also play a role on what I think about the car.
Mercedes A45 AMG: Understeer engineering
Where to start with this one... this car is a bit of a disappointment. On the main straight, this car can reach a top speed of about 300 km/h, which is ok, though in 6th and especially 7th gear it struggles to get there; while you do feel the effect of the turbo on the car, it feels like it's not enough to push it through the uphill section of the main straight past the start/finish line, you can feel it struggling, though it does reach a peak of 300 km/h before the massive braking zone for T1, which is a plus for me, although overall you lose a bit on the NSX and the GT-R on the straight.
On the rest of the track, as the title says, this car understeers. A lot. It's especially felt on fast corners like T3 and T4, with the car struggling to gain traction and try to stay on the line. The understeer is also felt when accelerating from the hairpin made of turns 14 and 15. Short shifting and modulating power do help, but you are going to pay precious time because you are going to cut some power due to the two reasons above.
Fuel and tyre economy wise, the car is ok - since it's turbocharged, it does consume more fuel than other entries on this list, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. For what concerns the tyres, it's nothing special also here, although I did feel them to be more worn out than the other 4WD car on this list, but not by much.
Lap times wise, as you may have guess, this car is nothing special - I was able to lap the track on average with medium/low 2:13s, though with practice I may have gotten a 2:12 but I didn't want to do that race with it again.
Final thoughts: avoid this car, there are way better candidates unless you find a better tune for it that solves the understeer without sacrificing straight line speed.
Will post more tomorrow, hope there small reviews might be useful to some people ^_^
So, you didn't try it... I found this car to be pretry easy to drive vs some other that I've tested... And it can do no stop without a problem...Well, from the looks of it, your setup looks way more understeery than the stock one, on lap 2 I was able to take T5 and T6 way faster.
That is a pretty long word salad answer to not even make a valid point. I have said it many times before, the Tomahawk should be for offline use only, that fixes that so called "cheating" problem.The Tomahawk X made it boring anyways, shouldn't have been in the franchise in the first place because once it was in GT7, It became a perfect car for cheaters, And I don't think it should be in Gran Turismo 8 at all because people could do the same exploit again and again. It should remain useless to prevent it from happening again. Because if the car was real, Most drivers would die from driving the car And that's exactly why you should never raise a Tomahawk X unless you're on Special Stage Route X for testing speed where it belongs. Also, races in real life are regulated so That's why new races have restrictions because races in real life are all restricted. They should never have races where you can use any car you want. In real life, You have to conform to regulations in quarter to race, And if you don't, they won't let you in.And if you don't, they won't let you in.
You can afford them, it just will take more time to do so.How can we "enjoy all of the cars" if we can't afford buy them?
Exactly!!! I am glad you understand we will all play how we choose.You can afford them, it just will take more time to do so.
If the intention wasnt 3 million per hourd but instead only half of that, so be it.
But this is a neverending discussion, so we all should just go on with whatever way we now choose.
I did, but I still found the problem to be more car related than setup related honestly, there are other cars that are just better. Plus, having a top speed which is 20 km/h lower than the setup I've used is something I personally prefer avoid, though that comes down to personal preference.So, you didn't try it... I found this car to be pretry easy to drive vs some other that I've tested... And it can do no stop without a problem...
There is no doubt the Aston DP 100 is very fast in this race. I have run as fast as a 2:08 with it so far and finishing just over 1 minute ahead of second place. I have done the race 6 times with this combo so far and have not had a race with at least 1 penalty so it can go quicker. The worst thing is you get up to the GTR in 2nd or 3rd very quickly and he very aggressive, I think he has hit me every race so far, he will likely hit you if you get past him at some point so you gotta watch behind you until you build up a gap. Great call on this car!!!Just won with Radical SR3. One of a few cars that can zero-stop this race on FM1 all the way through, making it one of the best by default (I imagine sub-27 minute total time is possible).
Thinking about trying the Suzuki VGT but it did feel a bit too slow on the straight. Radical is slow too but it corners better and doesn't have to pit.
I haven't tried the DP-100, but Bree was getting 2:09 out of it pre-1.13, so it's definitely one of the top cars. My personal best car is Countach 25th. I managed 2:08.9 with it, and high 2:09 pre-patch. But the easiest road cars to win with are IMO:
Audi R8
Lamborghini Huracan
Lancia Delta
Mitsubishi Evo IV, V, VI
Subaru STi Type-R, 22b
Toyota Celica GT-Four
They're all light and AWD.
One of my favourite cars to farm tokyo wtc 600pp is mustang boss 429. Tuned to its max it does 330km/h in the long straightMy advice is to usually avoid old cars on this race - from experience, they tend to not have grip at all, or if they do, it's ridiculously low.

Not doubting the straight line speed, but I was mostly referring to grip and traction, especially since I always drive with assists off.One of my favourite cars to farm tokyo wtc 600pp is mustang boss 429. Tuned to its max it does 330km/h in the long straight
Well, I bought the gto and tried it on tokyo wtc 600pp. I flushed 3M down the toilet.Not doubting the straight line speed, but I was mostly referring to grip and traction, especially since I always drive with assists off.
