So far, I've tried to get gold on this championship 2 times. On both times, I just can't catch the top 3 cars on Nürburgring with my Alfa 155 V6. Trial Mountain and Catalunya are somewhat easy wins, but the Ring is quite hard and I've never been very fast on it. Will try with some of your suggestions tonight

Well for some reason I can't catch them either no matter how fast I go and how well I navigate the corners,turns. I used the Chiron and still finished 4th in the Nurburgring 24th track but still won!So far, I've tried to get gold on this championship 2 times.

This may be late, but a slightly detuned gr3 supra mk5 work very well for me, if you kno your line, its gonna be an effortless win, the extremly high downforce of the car helps it stay right on the track even at high speeds, so keep the downforce like you got it, use the included ecu controller unit to bump the output down to about 85%, adjust the top speed as you need, try to keep it between 300-340kmh. You can stick with the stock racing hard tires because the downforce will take care of the grip on the road, i bought intermediates just in case of a race in the rain, but didn't end up using them(All three races had no rain). Hope that helps

For a long time I used the Ferrari Berlinetta with some tuning, weight reduction, and racing-hard tires. At Le Mans, you can do the first 3 laps at fuel-map 4 and pit (and possibly change to Racing Intermediate tires if it's raining hard), and switch to fuel-map 6 and do the last 4 laps and finish at least 1:30 ahead of 2nd place, sometimes up to 2:30 ahead if there was a lot of rain.
HOWEVER!!!
Since the Austin Martin DP-100 came along, it blows away all the other cars I have tried. It beats the Berlinetta with only 3/4 throttle on all points: handling, fuel economy, acceleration and top speed. And it handles surprisingly well in the rain on racing hard tires, probably because it's full-time all-wheel drive. It comes stock at 699.x PP.
At Le Mans:
Assuming racing-hard tires, 2 strategies work REALLY well with this car (difficulty = normal):
Strategy #1:
Fuel-map 4 gets you 4 laps no matter how hard you push it, and it's fast: easily over 200 mph on the long back stretch. Pit once for fuel (tire change optional). With this strategy I actually LAPPED the 2nd-place car at the bottom of the 8th lap on a mostly-dry race (too little rain to worry about changing tires). Lap times averaging in the 3:52 to 3:53 range. (A dry race causes the AI drivers to have their lowest lap times.)
Strategy #2:
At fuel-map 6 and a little fuel conservation, no pitting required for 7 laps and an easy win. Note: it is VERY easy to finish the 7th lap before 30 minutes has run out, so keep your eye on the clock and stop before the finish line if you have to let time run out before you cross.
Tips: the peak power range is maintained (believe it or not) by shifting at 6,800 RPM. Check the power and torque curves and you'll see why.
