The WTC 600 in Tokyo done without exploits is genuinely one of the hardest races in single player in gt7 - share your setups, tips, and cars

Had a lot of laughs doing this. Even spun out twice.

 

[CTznOfTime]

You did this too ?

Without a look, I still would guess both the Suzuki Escudo and the Miata LT swap would be faster in whichever way this van is driven.

There is a tune that can make through this race without engine swapping?

There is a tune that can make through this race without engine swapping?

I have won this race with approximately 100 different cars, no engine swap, no wall riding, just sport hard tires and cars upgraded (or downgraded) to 600pp.

It is particularly easy with 4WD cars like the Lamborghinis, GTRs, Impreza WRC...

Wow, I'm floored. The Hiace van is a possible car for a win? Did you do any advanced tune-ups? If so, can you send them to me in a PM. I didn't think it had that much horsepower to tackle the other cars.

 

[RCKakashi14]

This is my Hiace run.

Ran on Sport Mediums then to Softs. Fuel Map on 4.

As @Buckethead75 already said: there are quite alot of cars that can win this race. The list of engine swap cars is much shorter than the list of cars that can win this race - I would go as far as saying: without any tuning.

Thank you for the tune-up, I'm gonna use it tonight when I get up.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Finally bit the bullet and spent 20,000,000 Cr. on a McLaren F1.

Gotta say, it's a potent one despite being reined in.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Morning grind for today.

 

[RCKakashi14]

This is my Hiace run.

Ran on Sport Mediums then to Softs. Fuel Map on 4.

Managed to improve the time. Swapped the turbo to a high-rpm for smoother power delivery compared to the ultra-high rpm one.

Fuel Map now on 3, then pit at laps 5 and 10, with the latter switching to Softs with extra added fuel.

Then switch to FM1 at the final lap.

New toys for tokyo grind in first glance:

• Ford escort: very stable and easy to control
• Porsche 911 (992): absolute beast
• Mercedes w196: a 300km/h "no pit" missile
• Suzuki jimny k24: not very stable on the brakes, but very fast.

I put med turbo and sports medium on thr merc. Think needed to reduce ecu a bit too.

Won comfortably. Fuel 1. No pit stops.

Should add. This was on Easy.

I'm curious, has this race ever been datamined to see if the opponents are actually under 600PP? Cause it really doesn't feel like it at times. 😅

 

[Arkseven]

Extremely late, but here's my GT-R run:

W196 - pretty stable and fast. Last 3 laps were kinda tense with the RX7 right behind

No pit needed. Tires in the last lap:

911 Turbo S:

​

@AXL_EXE I don't think they're necessarily above 600pp (maybe the RX7). I think it's because especifically for this event (and Sardegna) there's some minor form of rubberbanding to make them more competitive.

Just wondering since I'm trying to find a comfortable setup where I can try to get the CRB, but I refuse to wallride. Right now I just find this race very unfun...

Patience is key. Try something that is fast on the main straight so you can safely overtake everyone there.
Ford GT 06', Mclaren SRL, AMG SLS, Viper 13' and the GT-R I posted above are all stock and safe choices. Just keep some distance from the car in front and you eventually pass everyone on the straight because those cars are faster than the AI.

Sports hard tires I assume?

Correct. Most cars close to 600pp or a little above that are using SH by default. You can try to lower their power to use SH tires, but in my experience they become too slow.

Try detuning the Lamborghinis, they are all very stable thanks to the 4WD, and very fast down the straight. You may have to short shift to get to end of lap 6 before pitting. Impreza WRC is a great choice too, slower in straight line, but no fuel issue and super grippy.

The key to get the CRB is never touching any opponent or cones at the last hairpin.

I havent been playing for quite some time, nor am I up to date with how the cars have propably changed, but from the LCD both Audi Quattro Pikes Peak and Subaru Rally Car 98 were able pull away easily and didnt feel too difficult to handle throughout the corners.

Engine swapped cars will often have a better time because they likely dont need to pit,
and I think there still will be some outliner cars that just are "too good" for this PP range, like the Aston Martin DP.

I'm curious, has this race ever been datamined to see if the opponents are actually under 600PP? Cause it really doesn't feel like it at times. 😅

I dont think they are limited by the PP rule, especially the NSX with sports soft does look like it is above that.

I won this race with the BRZ-swapped 240

The only ai driver I think its above 600pp (cheating) is kokubun in the white rx7. Because he uses soft tyres and still manages to get high top speeds in the long straight. I dont think you can mimic that if you use his car. At least I couldnt.

The white 911 and green merc are there with the sole intention of preventing you from getting the crb. More than 80% of the times I loose the crb is because of those two.

I tried this when the games was launched,i even tried comfort tyres but still couldnt match his top speed.Glad its not me then.
