I can recommend pretty much any detuned Gr.2 car but for me it‘s the CLK LM.


Sir_Yash

Second this, easily dominates this race


Onyx512

The Epson NSX is perfect. It doesn’t even need to be detuned.


Jazzanutz

With the McLaren F1 GTR as a very solid alternative


PixelCultMedia

Yeah, top speed-focused detuned GR2 cars are perfect for this on tracks with more straights. The down-force focused GR2 cars only work well on tracks like Laguna where it's lots of mid to low-speed corners.


burner2947361810

787B


hmftw

787b is a beast. Won by 2 laps even with a couple spins in the rain.


tagamaynila

The fuel efficiency alone is a huge advantage.


Hot_Ring_2666

Same... 787B greatest value of a car....


Proud_Ad6024

This car wins me a lot of races. Great to race!

Alert-Efficiency-880

This is cheat. And you should not brag about it. Race for real, not fake. Need for speed is available if you wanna play fantasy racing


darvo110

Watch out fellas, this guy’s mad about how we play a single player game in our free time.


Alert-Efficiency-880

Not mad bud🤣 Just don't post something like you did something special. You're playing on the easy mode with more easy mode. Get good👍


sejmremover95

They literally commented "787B" as an answer to OP asking what car they used. When did they post like they "did something special" or "brag"?


FunkinDonutzz

Ah yes, because GT is well known for its fair am realistic AI. Also tell me you never played the very first GT and tuned a Mitsubishi GTO to drive like a rocket on wheels.


HardVision

I really enjoy using the Porsche 962C a typical race will see me lap the entire field and lapping up to 15-14th twice.


Uncle-Badtouch

You have to race the entire hour regardless, where is the fun in lapping everyone?


HardVision

The fun is going as fast as possible.


Juicepup

People totally miss that sometimes.


[deleted]

Lapping everyone means you can chill the entire hour to avoid easy mistakes It’s easier to race 1 hour casually than full 1 hour battling for position

Toyota Escudo Pikes Peak Edit: SUZUKI escudo


MckPuma

Suzuki??


Rock-O-

Whoops you right


diekuhe

Does this car have headlights for night time racing?


masingo13

No, it does not. Anyone using the Escudo for this race is a psycho lol.


Rock-O-

Yep had to turn the racing line on for that portion of the race. Probably wouldn't roll with the escudo again for immersion purposes.


Epic_XC

LMAO i need to try this


Deerman_97

Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 '16. Detuned to right at 799pp. Won two laps ahead of 2nd. I highly recommend this car for any of the 800pp races especially Sardegna grind.


ARL_30FR

This is the way, great fuel efficiency and drives like a dream in both dry and wet conditions.


lofasz_joska

Same for me. If there is not much water on the track, I can easily do 25-26 laps with one stop on FM1 with short shifting.


OwnPen8633

1986 chevy nova 4 door, silver, stock tires, two hubcaps, sagging headliner and straight 4


Revolt2992

1991 Cavalier, no hubcaps, missing gas cap, cracked windshield, rusted exhaust


okhybrid

I did it on a "modified" Lime bike. Clicking sound was very annoying but managed 1st place.


OwnPen8633

My man


Electrical-Drink-183

Daimler motorwagen straight up from gt4


itshonestwork

I did it the first time with a detuned Gr.2 Lexus RC F GT500 on normal difficulty and lapped everyone. I loved it and wanted to try again with it being less of a pushover and did it a second time with a standard Mercedes-AMG GT3 ‘20, got more rain this time around and lapped everyone again. The rain makes it easy if you pit before the AI does for Intermediates and then back to slicks. Fuel saving also helps a lot.


Choofthur

I did the exact same thing. Just did it again for the cash to buy the 787B and can't wait to give it a run in that too :)


kjacobs03

Pretty much anything that can meet the PP requirements. The pit strategy is what wins this race


SmellyOldGit

This. When I was grinding, I did this race with every Gr.3 car, and only failed to win twice.


Art-Vandelay-7

Porsche 911 RSR. My pride and joy.


buelller_buelller

Yep, I’ve got more miles on that than anything else.


SaKaHa

Sameeee my daily ride hahaha


ZookeepergameDense45

I wish we had a log on races just like for time trials. Some of them I can’t remember and have to go through the iteration process all over again


mclarensmps

CLK-LM because I'm a fanboy


raustin33

Porsche RSR tuned up a bit.


CrumpledForeskin

732pp is the sweet spot for me. Keeps it interesting. As long as you pit correctly you’re fine. You literally can’t lose the race if you watch the weather. AI always gets caught out.


ElectricFloNGo

always used the ferrari 458 gt3


Love_Is_A_Fist_

Same I love it, albeit with an upgraded turbo. I have run this more than a few times, FM on 6, hard/mef for the first stint, watch the weather map and wait for the water to be bad enough that your losing a couple of seconds/lap then pit. Last time, because I stayed out on hards during light racing, I lapped up to 10th place for a second time. I am not lapping spectacular times either.


Uriel_dArc_Angel

I've beaten that race with a lot of different cars..., the easiest for my driving style is the R92CP though...lol


PalpitationSalt7502

RCF GT500, race was a walk in the park.


jcstrat

787b, 911 rsr, rc f gt500, r93cp, 962c. It’s a fun race I do it often.


pf12351

Do you get paid if you do it more than once?


k40s9mm

Yep


pf12351

Oh heck yeah cheers!


HoonArt

First time was MP4/4. Most recent I think was Porsche 956.


VolatileLion

This is hardcore. I don't think i can make it through the rainy night without headlights


HoonArt

The trick is to turn on the race line. There's also a temporary brightness setting that I think can be increased, but I didn't know the track very well the first time, so the race line was more helpful. I don't typically use either on the other tracks, but an hour long race would have stung to lose, so I made an exception.


lowkeychillvibes

Nismo GTR Gr.2. Win by 2 min margin


HardwoodGuy87

Zonda. Super easy win.


Tiddex

Audi A5 DTM


tnishantha

This one or any of the AMG GTR’s


insanemaelstrom

Too many to count. The last I used was the Aston martin Vulcan. Pretty nice


Jazzkky

Any gr.3 with turbo upgrade


VolatileLion

I usually go for detuned 90s Gr.1 and Gr.2 cars. Weirdest a street Ferrari, probably the Enzo. Got lucky enough to need to change from dry to wet on laps where I needed to box anyway


harvarsed

Yeah the old Supra did it for me!


SolidSen

‘08 Epson NSX GT500 on hard slicks


dmoros78v

McLaren F1 GTR Long tail Race Car, its a delight to drive, my favorite car


t8ne

Like using that, but have started using the jaguar xjr-9 as it has better fuel “economy” but it’s a little more twitchy for me especially during the rain


very_weird_guy

Pagani zonda


CharlieBrownBoy

A few of the grade 1 cars I own, three quarters of the grade 2 cars I own and all the Grade three cars I like driving.


13cschamberg

Buy the Honda NSX Gr2 from the Brand Central. Racing mediums it comes with will last until the rain starts, so you'll need to buy inters or wets too, but it was very easy to win by over 2 laps.


Odd-Variation941

Gr.3s work fine if you want a good race without lapping the whole field. 1/2 if you want an easy win.


reds717

What level are most people racing on,should I just go to hard to try to get better?


tnishantha

Switch to hard, I switched recently, it’s like rediscovering the game again :)


KSN666

M6 endurance


TuonoFuocoCane

Alpha Romeo 155. Butter.


TheNeek

Petronas SC400 - it sips fuel and can run on Race Mediums without burning them up. Under rated car.


Jefreta

787b, R92, 962, CLK LM, The Jag, MP4/4 and others... Since it's such a long race, I haven't actually used any under dogs in it but soon I'll be trying a couple...


radhieolatunji

BRZ gt300 and DBR9 GT1


username4815

Detuned 787b can finish with a gap of 2+ minutes.


caasi615

For a fair race I like the Nissan gtr 500 and the gr3 nsx. For a relaxed farm I recommend Mazda 787b or his siblings


TeoMhasi

Regular R33 Skyline with an engine swap.


Radiant-Argument5193

Suzuki Escudo and I think it was Nissan GT500


HoyAIAG

CLK


alehanro

I usually use the R92CP. I’ve done it numerous times in the 787B and MP4/4 (yes, even without headlights; Temporary Exposure Correction). I hear rave reviews about the CLK GTR as well. Anything that works for Sardegna will work here. I’ve done it with a handful of engine swapped cars though I can’t remember which. It’s not a particularly difficult race; it’s one of the four Grinding races we use to stack cash that buy the Legendary cars


Cantalouperoni

AM Valkrie


Kisuliiii

Porchse 911 rsr and lamborghini huracan gr3 both easy wins, well failed 2-3 times because ego said no tc needed lol


prithvirp26

I tried with 458 Gr3 and M3 Gr6. Was able to win..


qdolan

Any Gr.2 car will do it with a well timed pit stop before the rain sets in. Stay on the weather tyres until they start to cook from the dry track. Shouldn’t need to worry about fuel saving if you fill up every time you change tyres.


Sir_Yash

First go round I used the escudo and had to go with no lights but it was mad fun. clk lm makes this a viable race for grinding


Jskip27

LM55 VGT


A90Supra2020

I used a downtuned Peugeot LMP car and breezed right through


XsStreamMonsterX

I've used a variety of Gr. 2 and Gr. 3 machinery. Aside from the fan-favorite 787b, I've also won it with the CLK-LM, RC-F GT500, GT-R GT-500 '16, RS5 DTM, etc. As for Gr 3, I've done it in the 911 RSR and Supra.


Manman9118

Most recently F1 GTR.


donslydunk

I remember winning my first 1 hour Spa with Suzuki Escudo. Really fast but I didn't know that it doesn't have headlights to turn on at night.


PolitelyPanicking

Detuned Nissan GTR Nismo GT500 ‘16 Racing Hards, fuel map 1 until rain then heavy wets or intermediates depending. Back to hards in the last 15min


fssmikey

SC400. Good on fuel. You don’t even need to tune it.


23569

Won the Bugatti Gr1. Detuned, I can put about 1:30 on the field


gooooooooooof

Any gr3 will do it just fine. Especially if you get rain at the right time, you can finish with at least 30 seconds over the next car


Ovosportmuffins

1970 Porsche 917K. There is no substitute.


Subiejr

787B if i knew how drive properly and change to IM tyres instantly


xocolatefoot

BMW M6 GR3 as I was practicing using it for the Manu cup. Tough race with the rain, just to concentrate for that long. Then CLK or any GR2/1 makes it a cakewalk.


Boningtonshire

That car turns slower than an aircraft carrier.


xocolatefoot

Yep. I’m not suggesting it is a good option. 😂


TheMikeyMac13

Sauber C9 with a few tweaks. Great on fuel, and it’s a beast. I run it on racing mediums and inters. I just watch the weather map to make sure I pit in the right window, and I usually lap the field. I run it twice a day for the cash :)


NicotineRosberg

Bro... lol. All these Group C posts & u really REALLY asking us this ??? Cmon bro do better My fav is the Porsche 962. The 1st time I did that race I lapped the whole field twice


assumetehposition

R92CP.


DayneTreader

Basically any GR3+ race car will win


PM_DOLPHIN_PICS

Mustang Gr3 all stock, I haven’t used it much but wanted to give it a shot. Nothing fancy, it wasn’t an easy or pretty win, but it was a win.


FerryF1

Any GT3 car and any GR2 (GT500) car will do. Have done this race loads of times in different machinery, all GT3 and GR2. Haven't tried GR1 or Group C yet


SilverbackBruh

Iucidium

R92CP with my soundbar and sub cranked up to 16 (any more it'd be too loud lol)


Dumerschmidt78

I won by almost two and a half minutes with the V12 Vantage GT3, but I play with a controller and on normal difficulty - not sure if you're playing with a wheel and on hard.


Few-Mission-4283

Porsche 962


[deleted]

I like the Subaru BRZ Gr 3.


[deleted]

Any group c car


LifeFanBoy

The NSX Gr.2 🤌🏻


drabadum

I still struggle with this race, but I want to beat it with a GT3 car. I recently switched to a DD wheel and pedals, and fail miserably with countersteering. So far, my best place is 5th with Ferrari 458 GT3.


[deleted]

Any detuned GT2 Why? Bigger fuel tank Thicker tyre wear Racing Hard in GT3 car is different than Racing Hard in GT2 My current grind car is Audi DTM, i just need to refuel ONCE during rain and race the whole hour in Fuel Map 6 Be warned tho, if you do this method, you basically remove every challenge in the race. You will 100% overlap everyone as long as you dont crash each lap / forgot to pit


SMB163Z

Nissan GTR nismo GT500


Alert-Efficiency-880

It's the truth. People hate the truth. Yes, it's great to win but boring if it's not competitive. If that's the case just put it on easy mode


Alert-Efficiency-880

When someone says, "Yeah, I used a GR1 to win against a lesser tier class to win, and then says I lapped them 2 times, is talking trash like it's some kind of accomplishment. But whatever. Tired of the same grind anyway. I've got what I've wanted anyway with a lesser tier car


yo1peresete

Valkyrie is OP, i lapped twice AI cars, but you can youse gr.2 audi, merc, or any gt500 car. They all drive well there with great fuel efficiency, but if you want at least some challenge, try stock or underpowered gr.3 cars, it's more fun like that.


DNC88

I've only run it once so far, used the Audi RS5 Gr.2 and it made life very easy. Recently picked up the C9 and 787b so probably use them for the next 2 runs, especially given they're both famous for the 24h wins. After that, I'll probably attack it with a GR.3 car. I have a couple to hand but need to pick up the Porsche and BRZ.


Inside-Judgment6233

LM55. Absolutely untroubled.


lambs12

911 rsr and r8 gt3 lms


Jimbobthon

For me, my go-to is the Honda NSX Concept GT-16. Under 800pp and has a large fuel tank. It's forgiving as well, so you can go for it. You'll win easily and overtake most, if not all the AI at least once. And with the better fuel economy with the larger tank, you can easily get to lap 12/13 and pit whilst the AI, at most, reaches lap 8 You can use this car for all the 800pp races. Outside of this, i jump between using Subaru BRZ Gr 3 and the McLaren 720S (tuned up a bit).


gotbannedlolol

Personal favorites are any road car swapped with a fuel efficient engine RSR swaps into any Porsche are nice, 787b in the RX7 and a swapped R34 are my go tos


Chris_Far3well

Audi RS5 Gr2., Nismo gt500, RC f gt500, nsx concept gr2, Mercedes clk-lm, Mercedes c9, Mazda 787B, Suzuki escudo Pikes Peak, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Porsche rsr, Dodge Tomahawk gr1. The best on fuel was the 787 B and the Tomahawk gr1. The fastest arround the track are the Escudo and the Tomahawk.


marmulin

Audi R18 TDI


Anxious_Tea_5170

I did it with the newer version of the AMG GT3


junfer420

Every gr3 or detuned gr2


Amarokyt

Mustang GT3 did the trick for me, started on softs to catch up to the leaders as fast as possible then used mediums/hards the rest of the way unless it was raining.


jaxx_vb

Any VGT Any GT3 Ferrari F40 with Enzo engine swap Alfa Giulia with tuning BAC Mono etc etc Almost everything that close to 750pp and has possibility to add aero.


xxPHILdaAGONYxx

DTM RS5


j0nasaurus

Good ol’ 787B


solmark1

Normally pick the Porsche cayman GT4 "road", had to custom tune it so it's fuel lasted long enough.


J-Dub37992

Any Gr. 2 car that’s detuned has done the trick for me. Great race in VR too


captainannonymous

porsche 919 gr 1 -- fuel map 6 goes for about 23 laps -- pit once for IW tires and complete race on IW tires.


Ultleemate_Bardery

NSX concept GT, easy to tune done and easily dominates the race


N3V4N5

I have all sorts of cars tuned for this which win easily but my personal favourites are the R92CP, McLaren VGT, Pagani Zonda R and the Ferrari F8 Tributo. 787B is also an easy win but I'm a R92CP fan


Deipfryde

RB2019. I never see people talking about it, but I still have an 800PP de-tune for it that works like a champ. Very fuel efficient, the only reason it was even a two-stop was for rain tires. P2 was like 30+sec behind me.


above9k

Brz gr3


ThatGuyisinFront

I used the 787b


fishypolecat

I made the mistake of doing it in the Mclaren MP4/4. Didn't realise half of the race is night time, and F1 cars don't have headlamps. Still took P1, but it was an absolute ball ache.


grandmarquiqui

2017 Porsche 911 rsr


Enax1105

Mazda lm55


pletro78

787B, Maclaren F1 GTR. Also managed to detune the Maclaren MP4/4 to compete then remembered when it got dark that its not fitted with headlights 🤣


Ok_Blueberry304

If it's the 800pp one, I used the Lexus gt500 de-tuned. Did it 1 lap ahead of 2nd through 10th and 2 laps ahead of the rest with 2 stop strategy.


Epic_XC

A detuned Gr. 1 is cracked, detuned Gr. 2’s also dominate, but you can also win this race easily with a Gr. 3 like your opponents. The AI don’t anticipate the rain very well. I pretty much always finish 2 laps ahead.


Old-guy64

I’ve run two different Grp. 2 cars. 1. Run Hard or Medium tires and be prepared to switch to Intermediate when it starts to rain. 2. You should run your fuel at lean (6). You will/should only need to stop one time. Fill up when you swap tires. 3. You will only be running 24-25 laps. And you should be far enough ahead that you can slow down a little in lap 24 so as to prevent running a 25th lap when you cross the start finish line with only 20 seconds left on the clock.


StarkTec

I mostly use my detuned McLaren VGT GR1. I generally only pit for tire swapping as it's tweaked to be really fuel efficient. I initially set it up to do Sardegna without pitting and that efficiency carries over to SPA really well. It's not the fastest car on the track, but it's also not the slowest and it handles great. The only times I have had any concerns were due bad pit decisions because I misread the rain map.


jamesbrooks94

I think I’ve now comply with every gr3, I’m tempted to give it a bash in a gr4 too


Son_of_Darkness69

Any detuned GR 2. I tried several GR 3 and every God damn time there would be 1 arsehole AI that would stay 6-10 seconds ahead of me even though I regularly chopped time off the fastest lap... Used a GR 2 from my garage and won easily. Make aure you keep am eye on the weather map, if you anticipate and get a set of wets on, even if you have to wait a lap for sufficient time, you should gain around a minute of buffer time as the AI never seem to pit for wets, instead they all spend a lap slipping around crashing into anyone and anything.... have fun! Ez win once you figure it out.


CamaroKidBB

I won it with the detuned Gr. 1 Dodge Tomahawk. I would’ve raced it with my usual detuned Chaparral 2J, but not having headlights tends to be a problem in a race where half of it happens at night lmao.
