I won this race without pitting, on fuel map 1 the entire race and won by 1:30. Alpine VGT road car, sports hard tyres, ballast 200kg at -50, Ecu output: 89 and power restrictor: 70. I have never driven a car that stable, it’s impossible to lose control, amazing in the corners, dual air brakes help massively under braking and incredible fuel efficiency. The tyres weren’t an issue at all, in fact by the end of the race I was still extending my lead! Keep up the fantastic videos, they helped massively on tskuba, Alsace and red bull ring.
@@airlinepilot25 the latest update changed PP ratings so I’m not sure if it’s still viable but maybe lower the ECU some more? I believe there is an updated video for the Mercedes VGT strategy. Good luck pal
@@airlinepilot25 I tested it today, it still works. Maybe you forgot to do something? Sports hard tyres, ECU: 88, Power restrictor: 70, 200kg ballast and ballast positioning -50. Everything else stock. Hope this helps
Did it with no pit. Used the radical. Fuel map 1 for first ten laps then switched to 2 for the rest. Short shifted and used the normal gearbox. Added full suspension, air filter and brakes. Only had to adjust the suspension to drop the PP. Big thanks for all these videos, were a great help.
i just did it with the Radical as well, just lowered the power a bit to make it 549.71 PP. It is possible to make it without pitstop and won by 2.30 seconds ahead.
note: because of the new update the pp system is changed so here is a few changes for the event: 87 Fully Customsible ECU ballast: 196 ballast positioning: -31 power restrictor: 70 and change 7th gear ratio to 0.990 / 267 keep all the other settings the same and you should get 550pp EXACTLY
Here is an updated setup for this car/race to match the PP requirements after the 1.13 update: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OVLBq5WhOKQ.html
I know it must be a lot of work, but would be great to see some updates to these guides with all the recent changes. I’m no pro, but definitely pretty quick and this one really has me stuck. Great work on all the videos
With the recent 1.17 update, if you have a 4 rotor rx7, then use it as the advantage is it’s not only quick but the biggest advantage is the fuel economy. You only come in for tires. A one or two stop strategy is ideal and should give you the victory
I used the Lancia HF Intergrale, even with hard tyres it’s a beast, one stop, fuel mix on 1… gearbox set to 210kph (or 200 can’t remember now), I was doing 130 up the start/finish straight and very nearly hitting redline. very enjoyable and won by 40 odd seconds easily, by far better power to weight than the Evo or Subaru or the focus RS
The 8C is a beast and no need to shell out for a new car if you’ve done cafe menus. All you need is power restrictor and ballast and you’re first by the end of second lap. If you can drive well. I can do I was 10 seconds behind lol
yeah what the hell, now I I can only run this car with 100 hp less to get it under 550. The updated pp broke this for me. No idea how to complete it and it sucks that no one has a guide up that works now...
The Radical SF3 will do this race with no pits on both mediums or hards. Low 2:45s high 44s around middle fuel level on slightly worn hards. Just run it at 1 all race. It’s little bike engine sips fuel like its scalding!
So far this has been the easiest one for me, I used my 996 GT3, tuned right to the PP limit. What gave me way more power was adjusting the top speed down to below 240kmh, then making up the difference with less power restriction. One stop, around 35 minutes in, and finished with 4 laps of fuel and a 20 second lead. Felt like a fair challenge as Solis in the Alfa was very quick but could be beaten.
The Radical SR3 SL ‘13 (126,000 Cr plus exhaust/transmission upgrades) also destroys Kyoto, and you’ll only ever need to pit once for tires if you’re like me and have terrible driving technique. I used TCS2 and slight rear bias on brake balance.
Did it with a Lancer Evo Final '15. Full suspension, LSD and race gearbox somehwat dialed in and gearing set to 220km/h. All the non-removable engine mods, had to set the ECU very low to match PP, came out at 319hp. Sports Hard tires. Raced on fuel map 1 the whole race and pitted once. So easy I drove one handed on the wheel while drinking and smoking, barely paying attention :) And I'm not the best driver by far.
The problem with modern Gran Turismo games is that it is almost certain that you will be winning the game with almost any car since the ai is too easy and there is a lack of ai interactions.
I only tried the R32 which seemed decent, I'm sure the others wouldnt be too different but its worth experimenting. I found this Merc to be a little better
@@joshfetveit1708 Same here. I bought the customized gearbox and set it to 230 top speed, which lowered PP massively and allowed me to add a ton of performance. Only managed a 2.46 best lap, however optimal lap was also in the range of 2.44 I think
Yeah that one was easy. R32 no detune, just gears down to 205 V-Max, and won overlapping the whole field. Fun-Fact: Due to the gearing and using TC on 1 laps were faster without changing gears, 5 gear the whole lap... 😂
I just dominated this race with an Alpine A110 ‘17 done fully up with the ECU and power restrictor restricting enough power to under 550PP. The area the AI struggle with on this track is corners and the Alpine just glides through them. Use sport hards, treat the tires right and you’ll only do 1 stop in the whole race. My bets lap was a 2:45.899 and I won the race by 1:12.428
100% agree. Finished 1st by a minute. Put on medium turbo, ECU 94, PP is 548 with 246bhp but very light. Didn’t need to stop, I average 2:47-2:49 laps overall. After 1.25 patch
I have the car... Settings exactly as yours, yet my performance is at 578... Your ECU is at 100 while I needed to drop mine to 80? Plus your menu has diff wordings, i.e. fully CUSTOMIZABLE. Where as mine says fully CUSTOMIZED... Strange.
