How To Win The 1 Hour Tsukuba Mission Race In The Human Comedy - Gran Turismo 7 

Here is an updated setup for the car so that it matches the PP requirements: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BvvSr44Y44M.html

This is the hardest of the non Gr.3 endurance races. You need to be putting down some solid lap times to win this. The reason it's hard is because R. Kokuban does not pit for Wets during the heavy rain (like everyone else does). So you should stay on Inters as well, to have a good chance of winning. I won by 50+ secs after 3 attempts. Average dry lap was in the 1:01 range. Difficulty set to Hard. I used RH tires and Fuel 6 for the first stint, and pitted at lap 22. Did not change tires. Pitted again at lap 35 or so for inters. Fuel 3. TC to 3 for this stint. Wets are really not necessary. Pitted again at lap 51 for RH. Fuel 1 to the end. Good luck!

Fantastic video, young man. I managed to watch the whole thing. You have an excellent commentary style. Well done!

It'd be nice if the game actually taught the player about these kinds of strategies... Also a pre-race weather forecast would be REALLY useful too!!

For anybody struggling with this, I just managed to get gold on my third try after this strategy wasn’t working for me. Only did two pits, and won by about 10-15 seconds with the AI spinning me out on the second to last lap, would’ve won by 30secs+ otherwise. Started on RS, fuel map on 4 for 10 laps, then on 6 until you pit on lap 25 when the rain starts coming down properly. Put on IMs and full refuel, keep fuel map between 4-6 until the track clears up around lap 45. Then pit a second time, put on RS and enough fuel to finish with fuel map on 1 (10-11 laps - make sure you stick to the dry line!) No need for wet tyres, IMs are fine. Just stick with it and manage your fuel properly. The AI will pit at least 3 times, some 4. Took me until lap 40 or so to hit first place.

a key factor on rain i think is the vertical bar between your car/tires and your cam (partially covered). That meter either details the waterlogging of the track as you are driving on it. I was racing a 700pp series on a european track that gets heavy rain halfway through, the car became untenable to control when the meter filled 2/3rds so I had to swap to intermediate and it performed better. Later in the race when the track started to dry the bar started to recede and traction became better. You can use that bar to gauge your pit tire strategy as much as the precipitation strength. You can see with the earlier drizzle it was 1/3rd but in the heavier later rain it jumped to 2 bars out of 3.

Thanks for the help! These 1 hour races are pretty hard.

The gauge next to the tire wear shows how wet the track is. If it's under half you really shouldn't have to think too much about swapping off slicks.

Ooof. The leader is an eye opener in this race. I was lapping on average 1:02. Pitted early for the final sunshine stage. Was able to close to within 30 seconds of leader with about 4-5 laps remaining. I pushed too hard and caught the wet spots and skidded off 3 times on the last few laps. Little did I know the AI would pit 3 laps straight for fuel for some reason. I finished 9 second behind. Dunno if the AI was just playing a cruel joke or what but it hurts knowing I had a shot had I kept it on track.

My best so far: 9th position, 54 laps. I just don't know how should I win this.

Did it with two stops only ! Take it as being "the tortoise and the hare", but you do not want to be the hare as it's pointless trying to beat the cheating AI on outright pace. Be the tortoise ! All you need are mediums & inters. As soon as it starts drop the fuel map to 6 and keep up a consistant lap time of around 1.02. This should get 25 minutes in to the race. As you pit the rain starts, so fit inters and a full tank of fuel. Head out - still on map 6 - and keep a steady pace. You should get around the 1.05 mark until it really gets wet. Keep going for another 25 minutes until you hit around 10 minutes to go. This is when the sun comes out and dry line appears. Hit the pits - on your way in go up to map 1 - and fit the mediums plus a full tank of fuel. Last 9 minutes is a flat out sprint to keep ahead of th cheating AI. Note be careful to stay on the dry line or you'll be off and wasted all that effort ! This should easily bring you the win as while you only stop twice the AI stops 4~5 times. All you need is the stock car. Change race brake pads, and set the front camber to 2.1 degrees. Then add medium slicks and inters. Set TC to 3 Fuel Map 6, 6, 1

Impossible misision. I average 1.00.5 minutes per lap and i still lose by 1 minute. Thise Japanesz drivers are unbeatable on every difficulty setting.

This race gives me headache... You won with 55 laps, I was 9th with 54 and the winner had 57... I managed to keep reasonable times and pit only twice and still lost, can't fight with those 00:57'300 laps they do...

I was wondering why the Trial Mountain Endurance Race was so hard to catch up to the others…… switched it to normal and it’s way easier. Did the Sardegna race a few times last night and the Viper ran out of fuel and would not pit. Kept making other cars crash or get stuck behind it. Polyphony has much work left to do…. :/

Topless car for Heavy Rain Endurance 🤣 bad choice from Polyphony Studio again. Thanks for the tips 👍 great job.

Im not sure if the weather is random to an extent but I managed to comfortably do 56 laps and was about 5 seconds away from doing 57 laps and I came 2nd. Thanks for the advice from a fellow content creator!💜

Im so done with this race, i did the exact same strategy as you did and was even driving the same lap times. But just after 15 minutes, so at the time of the first stop i was behind 50 seconds… . I ended that race with a total of 55 laps and a gap of 1:18minutes to the leader … what i find so confusing is that i am driving the same lap times as you and drive the same strategy but then there is this huge difference ?!

TOUGH! Thanks for the info. I used parts of your setup (and your followup video) to help win this. Also @carlohelder down below, thanks for the tip. No matter what I do I couldn't match the 57s the leader was posting, setting difficulty to normal really helped (ver1.35). I won by two laps on my final try. Staying on Inters in the rain also helped. Pit as little as possible! Thanks again guys!

This definitely helped a ton, but man i swear the top 5 cars are PP700 because they are ridiculously fast.

I feel like the AI is completely random, i did 56 laps and came 4th 2 laps behind 1st. Tried again and with 30 mins left i was 1.30 behind and i was faster pace than 1st attempt. So i dont know i think its just luck of the draw everytime you attempt

Top stuff mate thank you! A seasoned GT veteran can still learn new tricks 😜 well done

Thanks I used your settings (bar the mid range turbo) before trying it. I thought the bigger turbo would just be more of a handful in the rain. Lapped 2nd place twice. Came in on lap14 for fuel didn't change tyres as I new it would rain soon, then just pitted everytime the weather changed. Weird thing was that the A.I ran on intermediates through the rain, then changed to wets on lap 44 as the rain stopped then went back in the pits on lap 45. Very odd. Anyway, Easy peasy, thanks mate.

Got 3rd with 56laps and the first made 57laps and made 2pit stops more than me but i don't have any pace in this race. But thanks without your tips i got just 6. made a lap less and also was 1.5min behind the leader

The changes the last 10 month to the game has made this setup invalid. I can't find a setup for the car that has more then 248 BHP and won't go over 600pp

The rain keeps going off on mine for like 3/4 laps then comes straight back on soon as I switch to slicks and completely ruins my race after spending half an hour racing. Seems rigged asf. Plus the AI is on softs pretty much the whole race and doesn't seem affected by the rain at all

Another gold achieved thanks to you! Greetings from Italy

Very usefull tips! Thnx! I copied your setup after the 1st race (9th). Then it took me 2 times more to get the gold medaille. You are 2 seconds faster the me, so it was more difficult to win the race and i’m trying to find the 2 seconds. Maybe its an option to spend a video in which you can explain more about how to setup a car for a race. Something what will help ME a lot to bring my laptimes down. Maybe you have some links to check out. Greatings from the Netherlands and i will keep on following your gides.

I did it with 2 attempts. 1st attempt try finished whatever place i am, 2nd attempt AI its little bit slower than 1st attempt and i tunning my car to short ratio (focus on acceleration) my top speed around 170 km/h and its on redline. Finished about 21 sec ahead include lot of spinning. Or you just tune your car quick accel in 1st attempt

Was doing the Kei car one and realized one thing: after the final pit stop, the top AIs are *dramatically* slower. Beforehand me and the top 2 are battling hard and within 3s Delta. After final pitstop I suddenly lead the 2nd by 10s!? I suspect they are slowing intendedly and the key to win is to stay close the first 2/3 and finally it may let you pass.

I guarantee you that when your moving your brake balance forward you are actually causing oversteer in the car. GT7 has the settings reversed and messed up. Things like toe-in, toe-out, negative camber, brake balance etc., are all in reverse compared to real life. It is truly shocking how they've got these settings wrong.

Thanks so much for the help mate! *subbed*

The A.I also get trapped alot behind back markers when they come up to lap them so depending on where they catch them the either past quickly or get stuck in a train of cars. Could be why some players times differ alot

I did every tune you did but was still over the 600 pp limits. I dont understand

HELP I CANT DO IT! everytime i do as followed i finish 2nd by 20 seconds on normal and i dont know what to do

Interesting. I thought having a turbo wouldn't be worth it, since you'd have to add so much weight and take off power as well. I drove the race without the turbo and lapped some 1 second slower than you were doing. I still won but couldn't get that one extra lap in.

I did 56 laps and only got 5th, I also got lapped. Made basically no mistakes. This is impossible

All I did was pit every 12 laps,first pit stop didn't change tires got full fuel,2nd change to intermediates and full fuel,3rd stop changed to wets full fuel,4th stop racing hard full fuel easy

Try the reb bull ring one next. I had it in the bag until I stayed out to long on wets rather than just putting in for a set of drys Oh and I can vouch for covid being $#it - 7 days into it and still keep feeling worse with each passing day 🤧🤒😷. Great videos- appreciate it bud👍

I’ve done the race 3 times and got second my first time. For my 2nd and 3rd attempt, my lap timer turned red towards the end of the race and I didn’t receive any credits after finishing 3rd. My last time I won and received 500k but the lap timer turned red again after my pit stop on the 49th lap. I don’t know what’s going on? I’m not cutting the track or anything. Is there a pit rule I’m breaking that I don’t know about? First race it did not do that

My car is never fast enough. I use a Toyota Gr. B 86 and it never goes over 130 on the straights,and I have to brake down to 12 mph just to stop from going off the track during the rain

Managed to get 3rd but damn the two cars in front of me are so damn fast, powering out of corners like it's nothing while im trying to keep the backend under control. And rain seems to have no effect on them. I race on nomal difficulty. I did try hard but couldn't even get passed 6th place and gave up mid race. *EDIT*: It seems that the patch messed with the PP rating. I started this race and now my car with RM tires had 605pp, forcing me to nerf the car a bit more. With RS tires I have to go down to 192hp...

Got this touchin little bit the power but, yes in Normal was more easy. Will try other few in this difficulty

I dont know what game you're playing man, i tried exactly this but the Top five is 26 sec ahead of me. Theres no way i can catch up with them.

250 is a bit high I think, not sure this car with 600pp can hit that mark, maybe with lowering it to max possible speed on backstreight (approx 200-210kph) you'd get even a bit more power, lower times per lap... It's one time prize... AI is fixed by missions, you can see how hard it is before entering missions (number of peppers on mission picture)...

Great video dude 😀

The line isnt a "nasty oily line" its the rubbered in line, thats what youre avliding in the wet

Ok first time doing this and 1st place is doing crazy times, wonder if you can reattempt to see if there's a strategy under new updates

Everytime i try to do this challenge the best lap of the IA is 0.57s It's impossible even to finish in top 5 and I'm in normal mode difficulty

How... They just keep pulling away at the front while I'm hitting the same lap times? After half an hour I got lapped and just threw in the towel.

The AI destroyed twice the lago magiore race for me because they kept ramming me and damage my car bc its on easy ur slow for idk 20 seconds or so and that lost me the first place xD They do have to tweak them a bit but apart from the laptimes/challenge it wasnt hard at all but i saw some comments telling easy mode should be the dark souls in gt7 xDDD

Your settings messed up my car. So i did an own map. I really can't remember what i did but i can Start the race now with 306bhp.

You are Great!!!!! I got my Gold thanks to you.

So anyone know the prize cars for the human comedy?

Nice one, liked and followed 👍

Why my opponent have 0:56-0:58 laps time? I cant win this

Hi, my difficulty is set to hard. I was able to set a lap times of 1.2 to 1.4. And I still got lap twice. The AI is so fast its crazy. I love your reviews great work. Keep it coming. 💯 👍🏾😁

I can confirm. Changing the difficulty from easy to normal is helping. Previously AI was doing 58 sec/lap, and on normal 1:00. 🤷🏻‍♀️

First 22 laps rh tires power 6, pit change tires to intermediate power 3 petrol always full on every pit, lap 44 pit again intermediate and power 3 or 2 last few laps on 1. I won by 25 seconds no problem

Iam doing 1min. Flat and finish 1 tour behind the first i dont understand.... in the rain iam doing 1.04 1.06...

What car has the first with soft tyres and makes 57 sec every round?

I do it again in i start touching the 59 seg / lap and i pit in the 16 lap in p5 with 53 seconds to p1 i think it is unbeateable this racing i will never win this one

With controller way to hard if you ask me... if you play on easy OR medium you're out of luck the ai will do 0:57.5 times on hard at least first place "only" laps at 0:59.3 witch is doable, but It's freaking hard, ditch all engine tuning for soft tires, and now I'm able to do high 0:59 and low 1:00 but one IA you have to overtake or lap and yeah out of luck, or you get shunted of the track 'cause the AI just sucks TBH, sadly my wheel-set-up is only VR so can't test it on my t300, but yeah won't try that any more just not worth the time

So you start with hards and you do 4 stops and you choose hard, hard, wet and hard true? And fuel in level 3. Ok ok i go to try tomorrow. Thanks

I’ve tried both setups and come nowhere to getting to the front and I’m on hard

Didn’t they used(gt4 or earlier)to give you more money the first time you won and then 25% for any race afterwards?

After the update you could never get the to the lead that fast.....

I did 58 laps and still finished 2nd 31 seconds behind 1st place.

Brandon how hard is your steering wheel? If it’s hurting your hands.

Doesnt work for me, Im in lap 20 and still in 8th place!

I dont get the Setups I Do literally the same in the Video im 0.081 point over the 600 Mark I dont get it

That’s not oily track. Your tires have no grip. Also there is only 1 difficulty level on missions It’s a set difficulty

Question, how are people able to view the opponents lap timers?

Absurd, with you your best lap 59 seconds and you easy first, in mine the top 3 guys do low 58 high 57..

So how do you not get lapped even by doing this strategy

This DOES NOT work. Arguably I'm running 1:00.x lap times whereas you're at 59 seconds, but the whole race the top 3-4 cars pull away from me from a time perspective and I can not catch up. I even tried with your revised settings and the best I am doing is 3rd.

What tpe of wheel are you using

Wich difficult you playing?! I'm in normal, did the same as you and it was hard to win

Wich wheel do you use?

I'm literally doing quicker lap times than you (not bragging, just saying) and I'm over 20 seconds behind the leader at lap 13 (you were right behind them). I actually think my game is bugged or something. I don't get this race.

Only 500k credits… you can earn way more in an hour on normal races

I can't understand the dynamics of this event, you're doing 1 minute laps and you're on pole. I do it in 59 seconds and I'm one lap behind the leader

I don't understand how your AI is so slow.. I watch many of your videos and attempted this one 3 time this morning. By lap 7 your 5s behind leader... I'm 32 seconds. Yet comparing lap times I'm doing constant 1:01.2 🙄

Might work fine on a wheel but doesn’t work on controller. Got 6th…

...do a race on Easy Difficulty for AI just for memes 😂 🤣

Does changing the difficulty make it easier?

I don't think I can keep my concentration for one hour

Thank you.

Didnt work for me on PS5….with controller

How the AI by u drives 1:00,00min and by me 57sec pro lap

Ai set 58 fastest lap in the wet😢

Can't be faster than the bots and i do play only on easy ai mode... my laps are about 1min, 1.2mins so almost close to you.... this game it's a joke...

The game won't let me use soft tires!?

These races cant be repeated for cash? Thats ridiculous because the money isnt great for an hr long race. I can do 2 30 min races and win 1.6 million.

Like deployed 👍

All race is diferente not one same.

How much do you win clean race? 🏁🚘🏆💸💸💸

I got gold from the 1st try with the the stock setup, this race did not seem hard. But I guess there's some luck involved as there is some variability with the weather and opponents. Best advice if stuck is to go back to the main menu and try again with better luck.

The "wet line" doesnt exist in this game dude. Just look at the slip meter on the left. Every time you leave the racing line onto the wet line the slip meter register higher. Which yes it is wrong thats not how it works irl, but in the game you just need to stick to the racing line..

I've almost deleted this game because of this rigged piece of shit its got me upset asf. I'm fine and pulling 1 minute flats constantly but soooon as it starts raining heavily it's like it doesn't effect the AI as much as me I can't go anywhere near the throttle and I just spin even on wets. They go full power out corners it's ridiculous

If there are peppers on the thumbnail, it's a fixed difficulty. With missions it's fixed to the thumbnail of the mission.
