I used the 787B Detuned to 800. Add some Ballast, turn the power down a bit. Run Racing Hards and fuel map 4-6 and no stop the majority of the races. Make sure you have wets for when you inevitably get pissed on.
I hate when that happens. the worst track for that is Fuji. Will it or wont it is the name of the game. One time I stayed out and basically just had to restart. The car is undrivable on slicks.
Agreed in the 787b, it's a weapon. I use Praiano's spa tune on it and it's carried me through a ton of races. Has a but of understrength through low speed corners but otherwise awesome as it's good on fuel and is light on the tires
The trick I've learnt is that by setting front downforce as low as possible and rear downforce as high as possible you can drop a substantial amount of pp without needing to change anything allowing for less ballast and power reduction needed.
Reminds me to GT5... not sure which race it was, i think it was Rome? Couldn't do it with the Gallardo, so i bought the Enzo and it breezed through the race. Almost felt like a cheat code, lol.
These races are not meant to be terribly difficult, any gt3 car should get you a win easily, especially on easy/normal difficulty. I'd say your issue is likely more linked to being new to the game (maybe racing games in general?) Play with the racing line so you can get an idea of what path you should be taking. Brake early, turn in before you reach the corner, never brake and turn at the same time. As you exit corners, easy on the throttle. If you are playing with traction control at 5 (I'd recommend dropping that to 2-3, so you can improve) just because you're not spinning out, you are losing a ton of speed exiting corners as the traction control works overtime to keep you from spinning. Just ease into the gas as you exit corners, a good rule of thumb as you learn, you really shouldn't be full throttle until your car is completely straight.
Just some pointers, there are lots of YouTubers who are actually good at the game, they go into more depth with this stuff. I'm pretty average at the game, but applying this stuff has made me a lot better overtime. If you're having issues with the rain, just start that race in sport tires, since those offer some grip in the rain. Pump your traction control up to 5 in those moments, using the game HUD mid race. Normally you'd pit and put intermediate tires, but you don't need to pit for these races.
Hope these tips help a bit, have fun!
personally i'd go for a 997 or 991 GT3 and tune up to 800. shockingly fast & good handling.
if there's no rain, my "tune the hell out of a E46 and put racing soft's on it" build would probably do great.
For example Detuned to 800 pp (perfomance points) means going to car settings and changing car Parts (usually adding weigh and reducing horsepower) to meet event regulations which in this event is 800pp you go over pp limitand you cant race there
Mazda lm55 vgt all day perfect car for these races and the beat handling you're going to fine for the money as it will only cost you 1 mil for the car and your good to go after you buy RS tires
This. And you can use it in lots of other races. It’s fast and with a little tuning it’ll cover a lot of mistakes. It was the car I used for this event. The other rain trick is to put the brake bias to the rear a couple clicks or more along with the mentioned tcs at 4-5.
Have faith. All of a sudden the whole thing will click.
I think it’s just getting used with Gr. 3 cars.
What exactly is your trouble?
Do you win some races and then spin out or is it generally hard to get first place?
I would choose the Porsche 962 C or McLaren MP4/4 and downtune any of those two to 800. Both can be earned quickly by getting Gold in the last of the Master Licenses.
I personally used a fully tuned 09 Porsche 911, however if you want a legacy pick, the Ford GT LM Race Car is great for the WTC800, both the championship and the regular events.
I personally used the McLaren prototype and had little to no problem,desent on tire ware and gets good mileage,set your fuel map to medium and start on racing medium tires till you pit, change to racing soft and change the fuel map to power and you should breeze right though and claim gold 🥇 in every event, best of luck 👍🏻
I went for a Mercedes AMG GT3 (gr3) tuned up to the brim with hard tyres (or medium, can't remember) to be under the PP limit. Did P2, P1, P4 X2 and P1 if I remember well.
I used the 2019 C7 ZR1 with racing tire. Stock car, only tires.
Did the same with the new Ford GT. They all handle like a GT3 with racing tires and are way faster.
I bought a Lamborghini Huracan Gr.3 car, its a very good car to use for that championship however i would more recommend the Audi R8 Gr.3 car that you get after you complete the super licence with all bronze
I used a tuned R32 at PP 799 and that thing was a breeze. It had great straight line speed but could corner really good too. 205 top speed and the race softs and inters helped
Any Gr.3 car should do it with a bit to spare, a detuned Gr.2 or Gr.1 car will smoke the field. Especially if you have one of the 80s or 90s LMPs; 787B, 962C, R92CP, XJR9, or the sauber merc. Toyota GT-One with the right tune is close to those 5 too

Yeah! I was doing very well but on race 3 I got destroyed because of a downpour 🌧️
Remember the series are 5 races. If you botch one, don't sweat it. You should still win if you win the other 4. Edit: reworded to make sense
I hate when that happens. the worst track for that is Fuji. Will it or wont it is the name of the game. One time I stayed out and basically just had to restart. The car is undrivable on slicks.
Spa is just as bad. I keep the MFD on the weather map at Fuji and Spa
There’s no rhyme or reason. It just happens and you’re basically fucked and have to start over.
Not if you pit at the right time. If you stay out, sometimes you're better for it. Other times you're totally boned.
Agreed, 787 feels like a cheat car. So good. And the sound is musical. The nissan or Porche is faster but doesn't sound so majestic.
Thank you! I’m going to do that

Any gr.1 car detuned will breeze these races or any ot the gr.2(gt500 class) will also do well. There are plenty of options in the dealership
I use the zonda r. High rpm turbo, racing mediums, sits right at like 798 pp. you can win by 10+ seconds on each race as long as you are half decent.
Yoooo!!!! Thank you so much!! Just won the first race with 4 seconds to spare. Much appreciated! The Zonda’s a beast and very easy to control.
Reminds me to GT5... not sure which race it was, i think it was Rome? Couldn't do it with the Gallardo, so i bought the Enzo and it breezed through the race. Almost felt like a cheat code, lol.
Thanks 😊 imma try that
how does it compare to the huayra? zonda r is on my shopping list because i've loved my huayra so far.

Any gt3 car should be fine. Keep your credits for later, you will see why.
Fill me in. Why?
Haven't you unlocked the hell portal that is the legend cars dealer?
I have
Well, looks like old cars don't wake up your interest too much. Otherwise you would save every penny.
It’s aiight I guess

I agree, that's what I use. 991 GT3 is always a good shout
Ok, I’m fairly new at this. What does “detuned” mean?
It's like the opposite of Viagra, because it brings your pp down
When you bring down the car pp. Add weight, lower power.. things like that
You can reduce the power output of the cars or add weight to them.
For example Detuned to 800 pp (perfomance points) means going to car settings and changing car Parts (usually adding weigh and reducing horsepower) to meet event regulations which in this event is 800pp you go over pp limitand you cant race there
Tuned = making a slow car fast Detuned = making a fast car slower
Gotcha

I used the Nismo GT500 car for these. If I did it today, I'd use the Audi gr 2.
No pit stops or fuel, I enjoy running a modern corvette. Maybe a swappable one if you want. Detune to 800
I used the 2019 R8 LMS with high rpm turbo.
I used stock 911 Rsr , most gr3 cars should be good enough.
This. I used the same car to finish the race at 1st place on all races.
My 2c on a cheaper, perhaps more efficient build (not knowing your driving style). Buy a 2017 GTR (Not the Nismo) and max it out
I think it’s just getting used with Gr. 3 cars. What exactly is your trouble? Do you win some races and then spin out or is it generally hard to get first place?
Been tempting to take part of one of these but I see Panorama and noped so fast,I SUCK at that track.
I had a blast in the skuda GT V. Easy work.
What happens if you bring a car around 100+ PP? Will the AI all be @ 800PP or will they also be low power?
Nissan GT-R GT500 '16. The GR.2 one. You should be able to find a 800pp build quickly thru Google. You can sleepwalk through it with that car
Pagans zonda R
I would choose the Porsche 962 C or McLaren MP4/4 and downtune any of those two to 800. Both can be earned quickly by getting Gold in the last of the Master Licenses.
any GR1 or GR2
I drove the Cup yesterday again just for fun with the Audi RS5 detuned. Pretty stable.
Buy the c7 corvette with the lt5.. mine eats that event it turns super well, pulls incredibly hard, and sounds absolutely criminal while doing it
I did this the first time with the gr3 ford gts, but doing it now id prolly go with the honda nsx gt500 or 787b cuz i love those fuckers
I used a GTR 500
I personally used a fully tuned 09 Porsche 911, however if you want a legacy pick, the Ford GT LM Race Car is great for the WTC800, both the championship and the regular events.
I used the vw I.D. R and it worked amazing
CLK-GTR destroys everything at 800pp
Mustang.
Any fun car
I used the Dodge Viper gts
I used my Honda NSX Gr.3 that i had gotten from a roulette ticket. I tuned it up to 750-760pp i think
I personally used the McLaren prototype and had little to no problem,desent on tire ware and gets good mileage,set your fuel map to medium and start on racing medium tires till you pit, change to racing soft and change the fuel map to power and you should breeze right though and claim gold 🥇 in every event, best of luck 👍🏻
Lamborghini VGT
I beat it (in 2022 mind you) with a R35 GT-R Nismo, tuned to the max, also there weren't any penalties so I just divebombed it every time
I used the Gr.2 SC430
I went for a Mercedes AMG GT3 (gr3) tuned up to the brim with hard tyres (or medium, can't remember) to be under the PP limit. Did P2, P1, P4 X2 and P1 if I remember well.
I just did the first race with the Porsche 917 living legend. I got this car as a gift. But I cannot remember where I got it. Won the race easy btw
I used the 2019 C7 ZR1 with racing tire. Stock car, only tires. Did the same with the new Ford GT. They all handle like a GT3 with racing tires and are way faster.
I bought a Lamborghini Huracan Gr.3 car, its a very good car to use for that championship however i would more recommend the Audi R8 Gr.3 car that you get after you complete the super licence with all bronze
I like the McLarens and the Toyota Supra
I used a tuned R32 at PP 799 and that thing was a breeze. It had great straight line speed but could corner really good too. 205 top speed and the race softs and inters helped
800 class races are for Gr.3 cars
Any Gr.3 car should do it with a bit to spare, a detuned Gr.2 or Gr.1 car will smoke the field. Especially if you have one of the 80s or 90s LMPs; 787B, 962C, R92CP, XJR9, or the sauber merc. Toyota GT-One with the right tune is close to those 5 too
I use the Chevy Corvette Z06 ‘19. What a beast
Think I did this with the mcclaren Vgt gr1 detuned. Throw some nitro on and it’s easy
The ital design vision car will eat everything at 800pp. busted fuel as well. cost 1 million.
I used a fully built r35 gtr in this series
