Subscriber, here. Just want you and everybody else to know, this still works in 1.46. The PP has gone down, slightly, but you can raise it to be closer to the 700 limit by using Racing Softs. However, you'll have faster tyre wear, of course. A good strategy is Racing Mediums with Fuel Map 2. You'll only have to pit once for IM (if) when it rains, and can finish the race on one tank of gas and the IM tyres as it dries out. The easiest 825,000 credit grind there is (vs. Tokyo Expressway) with a guaranteed CRB if there's no major accidents (Yellow flags), and you stay within track limits.
Have you tried the Toyota 86 Gr.B? With the gearbox set to about 180mph and the high rpm turbo. Near enough 800bhp, 4wd, good on fuel the thing is a monster for Le Mans.
Apologies anyone wanting to try this method, set the top speed to 390kph/240mph. The car still tops out at like 180mph, but its much better on fuel this way.
@@Jack_Dean Whenever I need quick cash, I run Toyota 86 GrB in this race, I have to pit once unless there's rain. Usually win by a minute or two. Another easy money is to run the Chapparal 2J on the 800PP race at Sardegna, I can finish that in about 27 minutes way ahead (2 stops running FM2/3) , slightly lower payout but don't ever have to worry about rain and a lot of times, the LeMans has to go 32-33 minutes because you can't quite get 6 laps in 30 minutes and still win, so you need to run the next lap. I will try this setup, seems like fun. I also tuned up a '74 Countach (one of my favorite cars IRL) and I can easily win with that as well but is not a secure in the corners so it's not as easy a drive as the Toyota 86.
@@jackeldogo3952 RedBull X2019 Competition. Sardegna in 25 minutes with 2 stops. Set the gear ratio as short as you can so you get maximum acceleration, then set the rest of the car as you like. It's a 3 millions car but you get it for free if you can get all the Licences with the gold medal. Best car ever driven after the Tomahawk X
Went ahead and tried this car and I must say it is now my new favorite for this event. Set the fuel map to six and just coast into a couple corners and you can do the first four laps before you need a pit and then after that you’re good for the rest of the race
This still works on 1.49, but you need to add 60 points ballast to lower to 699 with racing hards, it’s more than enough to win the Le Mans 30 minutes with 4:30 on dry, 4:50 wets. That gives you 825 thousand every 35 minutes because it’s nearly impossible to lose the clean race bonus in la sarthe.
You can easily win this race in any tuned up Gr4 car or detuned to 700PP Gr3 car. Ive been buying a new GR3/4 car, setting it up, racing it and winning, then buying another and repeating. Pretty soon will own all Gr3/4 cars and have driven and experienced them all. Best way of doing it without feeling like a grind to me.
I've found out, that when i started a WTC700 Lemans-Race with a car you've not purchased full wets or intermediates for you get a bigger chance of a dry race.. Three races in a row at most only light drizzling. But two of them completely dry! No need to have rain tires or inters.
Tried it out. Definitely not a safe win. When the rain comes. The car with hard racing tires is fucked up. Also that it doesn’t need fuel all time doesn’t keep it up. Ended up at 19th place. Going back to sardegna with the Toyota. It’s a 100% safe win every time.
HSG, I have a new tune for this race. What you need to do is you take your Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 and you put weight reduction stages 1-4 on, racing brake pads, a racing brake kit, racing hard tires, the front custom part A, and the medium sized wing. Then you put the front and rear downforce to max. Although, the trick with this tune is the power restrictor is needed to take the power down to 82. This tune works and I was able to beat the (easy) ai by two minutes. The only issues is you are forced to brake in a straight line otherwise the car will slide, and you have to pit every two laps. Even with the fuel map on six and short shifting, I couldn’t get more than 2 laps. Tires aren’t a problem as I did just fine without changing tires. I’m currently working on a 2015 Evo tune and I’ll update you once it’s completed. Edit: Never mind, you can do three laps if the fuel map is on six and you short shift at the dividing line between the speed and the gear. Using this method I beat the (easy) ai by 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
like you mentioned though the 155 is the best method for this race, laps a good 10-15 seconds per lap faster than the red bull and is also absolutely on rails, if anyone sees it for sale in the hagerty collection then don't miss it! can lap in 4:07!
I use the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 '16 & keep wining. 850k per race. & going mostly 180+mph with a set of 637hp, FR, traction set to 5. Gas set to lean. Some pit stops for Heavy wet rain tires swap. Then when all is in pits set to power. Before the 7th lap should be on first. Makes it easy if theirs rain. (I play on hard difficulty, & still win.) But not big a difference on that honestly. But thanks to you man. I'm checking out different cars lol & Peugeot put me in 3rd place. But my nismo puts me in 1st all the time. So still checking out other cars. & buying the junior to try it out.
Lamborghini Diablo GT 4:08 lap time. Refuelling every 2 laps. Porsche 962 no refuling. (This is my favorite car so far for this race) All the old Le mans cars seem to be able to make it without refuling except for really old cars like the gt40. Still better economy or larger tank than most other cars.
Yeah so a pit stop with tyres and full fuel is about 40 seconds lost. So even if you have a car that takes 4 minute 25 seconds to do a lap on lean fuel and thus can do 4 laps per tank which is a lot of cars, it'll be faster than the Diablo in that example driven flat out. I like this race because there are so many ways to win and the strategies make it interesting. The Red Bull Junior for example can also go the entire race on one tank quite comfortably. You can start on racing hard tyres and tough it out if it rains or even start on inters if you think it'll rain and stay out, you can win. I tried and it worked both times. On inters with fuel mix 4/5 you're can be 5 seconds a lap slower than the other cars at the start of the race when dry. But they usually end up pitting twice for fuel while you never have to pit AND you never potentially get caught out halfway around a lap on slick tyres when it rains. A full dry race is possible, but very rare. In that case even with mistakes I won by a minute.
@@pgr3290 yes, it's very fun. Lots of different strategies. I also like my murci for the sound. The veyron is just ridiculous needing fuel about every lap if you flogg it. And don't even try an ev. Found out the hard way there's no charging in the pits!
@@jessevallantine825 I found the Escudo is crushingly fast. Even if you put it on comfort tyres, 200kg ballast, max rear downforce minimum front and wind the engine back to about 700 horsepower you are too fast. I can do sub 4 minutes in a 700PP Escudo easily. Destroys them. With fuel setting 6 and a little bit of lift and coast fuel saving you can do 4 laps on a tank and manage with just one stop. Easy to control in the rain because of the downforce and 4WD. End up winning by miles.
Genesis Road car. 201mph before the first chicane down the straight. Truly a must have! Sub 4 minute lap time, so fast I accidentally did a lap 8 myself with 0 fuel. Locked to 50mph, took 10 minutes 😂
I've purposely pushed to see if I could get an 8 lap race before. That last lap when you are out of fuel is bloody boring LOL. I just wanted to see if I could do it as I had a few races within 2-10 seconds of it. I 'think' I was using the Gr4 Silvia but memory may be hazy on that.
@@86wezza88 yeah it is horrendous at 50mph haha. Didn't want it to happen but was so concentrating on breaking the 4 min mark that i didn't notice the time! The Genesis is the only one I've managed it in, all my other quick times are a few seconds over the 30 min mark like you mention! That was a 2 stop btw, 3 laps then 2 sets of 2 with a fast one at on lap 7.
The new RS Camaro is a blast to use at that track. You have to set your power to 6 to save fuel for the most of the race, but even set that low it still blows all the other cars away. I haven’t touched another track since I found this easy money. Every car in my garage is currently getting tuned to the max now lol.
This was such great fun. Thank you for this build. I may not have tried out this car otherwise. At first I used bumper cam as usual. For kicks, i tried cockpit view bc it is an open top. Very good visibility, you can actually see & use BOTH rearview mirrors, and ups the immersion factor. After about 30sec I thought, I can’t wait for VR in this thing.
This Redbull and the GTO are definitely #1 for this race. A wacky car that I used a few times was the GT by Citroen Road Car. You can do a lot of events with it, and it certainly feels cooler to drive than the Gr.4 cars. I'm curious to see how you feel about it if you try it out. 100k soon, early congrats to you btw
I used this car on the Le Mans 30min race and got first place with minimal spend on upgrades. Great car that quickly pays for itself, its fuel consumption is so low that you make up time without needing to pit as often.
Still my fav go to! I use this as my first race everyday, just to make a little money as I'm a long way into the game. Made my clean racing go up 10 fold too; as I make sure I avoid all the cars. Great vid
The best part about taking the RB Junior car? Teaches me how to drive actual racing cars, like this and the super formula and the LMP1 cars. I'm not good at maximizing the best out of them. Yet.
This car still works even with having to put once depending if it rains. One your in the lead set fuel to 3-4 and you car run in the lead till the checkard flag! Thanks for posting this set up. I enjoy this little car!!!
I followed this tune and mine came out at 710PP but that is on the 1.52 update. is there a tune for the new update as I now have to use a power restrictor to get below 700PP?
I use the 787B for a no stop strategy, mostly because it's one of my favourite race cars of all time and it sounds so good. Might give this a go tomorrow as I've been trying a load of different cars lately just to keep things feeling different. I tried the Nissan Silvia Q’s (S13) ’88 with the LS7-BRZ engine swap today and after 1 lap I was over 30 seconds ahead thanks to the 1000+ BHP it had but it was a no go because it used a full tank of fuel in that 1 lap 😂
As of update 1.41 it still works, though I had to slap Soft tires to increase PP because it got nerfed I think, still most fun I had since the risky "Tokyo Express Way" grind. Thank you HSG for the setup.
I did this race with the Suzuki Escudo. I got first by 3 lap and stopped for fuel by the end of 4th. ECU - 70% Performance Adj - 80 Tires - Racing Hard
My go to on this Le Mans race is my BRZ Drift Car, significantly modified for use in races. It has 1195hp (699.99pp), and reaches 235 on the straights in Le Mans. I pass the entire field quite easily in the first half of the first lap, and even though I must pit every 2nd lap, I never see the other cars again. I must match the tires to the weather, but since I'm pitting every other lap anyway, this is not a problem. I love my BRZ. I've found nothing that can match it on this course at 700pp.
Doing this race with this exact build on hard difficulty is very different from this. The leader is doing laps of 4.18 , even in the rain he gets 4.20ish. You start 15s behind and will most likely be 30s at the end of the first lap. And this car on rain with hard tyres is close to undriveable, even on a straight line. I might just do it on easy like everyone else.
(the AI corvette did 4:16:412 on my try. LOL, this ain't work for me.) bull shit what i said, i was wrong, this method is 100% works perfectly, because the IA pit twice, i was doing it wrong, so sorry bro, the vid is 100% right on this. they lose 60s on the pits. i did it on hard mode, total possible my friend try it again!
I agree with you, I couldn't do it on hard difficult!! If you don't change tyres it's undriveable and when it stops raining, tyres start to wear out and car spins in every corner !!
I got dead ass last using this car. Fuel map to anything but 1 and I get murdered on the straight. First two cars don't put till 4. I put, put on intermediate and once it clears up it's slip and slide
The Ford Group B rally with uprated turbo makes this ridiculously easy as well. It’s also a reward from a cafe book so is literally free. Alfa 155 is my go to however. Generally lap at least 80% of the AI.
Good shout! The Ford Group B rally is excellent on fuel with mix 6 and brilliant on tyre wear. Never thought of using this, plus like you said it’s free from the café challenges. I don’t yet have the 155. Cheers mate 👍
Yes ,they should have name this game Grand"rain"Turismo 7..notice the high credit races have rain in them . I'm glad they fixed the Tomahawk, but its collecting dust due to the fact you can't low the pp or top speed..thankyou GT7 makers.
I just did this last night, It worked great, didnt catch the leader until the 5th lap which made things fun. I hated just flying past the AI with no fight using the Carrera GT4
Pagani Huayra is my go-to. Max out the engine and most components, then restrict/ballast it down. Full-lean will get 3 laps at 4:20-ish. 2-3 fuel gets you 2 laps around 4:05. Even with pit(s) you’re always 1.5-2 minutes ahead.
787b, add ballast and restrict it, set downforce to lowest on the front and near highest on the rear, racing hard tyres, set fuel to 6 and you get a full 7 laps at 4:05
Could someone please answer, Is a pitstop supposed to take 30 to 45 seconds? Pit, select tyres, takes up to 30 seconds for the car to pull into pitstop? Enter pit 1st to 3rd place and finish race 8th? No pitstop race I win, pitstop race pure rubbish. Remember the day you actually got an instruction book that told you all this before playing and would be good if you could set fuel consumption and traction control before driving...
I tried the Jr. on your recommendation. Great car until it rains. I have no idea how you can keep the car on the track on RH’s through a downpour. Full assists did not help the situation at all. Fun car until then
Sometimes you'll overshoot a corner no matter what, but generally speaking I slap the TCS on 5, use less throttle, and try to stick mostly to the center of the road since the camber of streets is intended to make rain run down the sides like in real life
I dont get it. I'm trying to do it with this same car, i get same time print as yours around 4:22 per round and i only get to finish 3rd with a big 30 sec behind the first car... are you playing on easy mode or what? I'm on ard here. the first car always seams to clear the race at around 30:43 min:sec. I get the same times as you so i suppose im not that bad. Dont know what i'm doing wrong
My favorite car to use curently Is the Alpine VGT. It's ridiculously fast and is surprisingly fuel-efficient. I also found out very recently that the road version is better than the race version even though the race version is also able to do 7 laps under 30 minutes
This car and track combo is good only if there is rain (more the better) 5% of races don't rain and it makes this race closer than I like. It is a fun car though.
This car standard, plus intermediate tyres and fuel mix 4 will do the whole race with no stop! Even if it rains heavy youll be ok on the IW. You will be slightly slower per lap than the AI using fuel mix 5 and a little fuel saving driving (also to reduce tyre wear) but with their 2 pit stops youll win every time
I know the DB9 and a couple other Gr.3 when tuned right... can do a no stop with considerable ease when tuned and driven right. Some of them can basically do 7 laps in 30min flat....
Any tips on how to handle this thing in the rain (which more often than not is a guarantee in this race)? The only advantage this car has over others I've tried is that it doesn't need to pit - if you have to go in for wet or intermediate tires to deal with the rain then it loses. I can't win with this car but I can every time with something like a Nismo GT-R.
Yea , also depends on what difficulty u play at . He clearly plays on easy , his lap times are very slow and he's 1min ahead .... On hard he doesn't win this with this car . I don't like this car for this race at all .. on easy difficulty, it's just that , easy . But it's sooooo boring racing by urself for 30mins straight
If you are talking about the Ueno Mayo Clinic one then your sadly mistaken. For me that car's handling is horrid beyond belief. what I'd like to know is how on earth did you get it to handle easily without ramming it into corner or losing the race ?
I use the grb audi quattro rally car(maxed out) fuel map 6 and racing hard tires your fuel will last for only 3 laps exactly so you'll know when to refuel and refuel b4 the last lap ( i do it 7 laps in total)
This just takes all the fun out of the game.. all you have to do is use a group 4 car and can easily win And not be so far In front of the opponents, that it seems like time trial.. I could understand if it was like the Tokyo express but this race is 30 mins whatever car you use... thanks for the video tho it was pretty good 👍
You definetly need intermediate, because if it starts to rain and you are on heavys you can quit instant. No Chance to Drive and KI is crashing you into nirvana.
My favorite for it has been the 1966 Ford GT40. Stock suspension, stock trans, and just do all the power mods, brakes, and aero stuff from GT auto. You have to turn the power restrictor a few clicks but that car is an absolute monster. Flys by all the other cars on the straights. A little slow out of the corners because of the long gearing of the stock trans. I was about a minute behind 1st on the last lap one time and I turned the fuel back to 1 and I caught up and won the race. It’ll go 4 laps with fuel on 6. 5 laps if you short shift it.
Hey, I just found your channel. Thanks for the setup guide. I'd just been messing with Gr4 cars on this race and this car and setup are great fun and an easy win. Thank you 🙂👍
@@HSGAutomotive great news... I honestly can’t wait. I’m looking every week for em. Thank you for all the vids. They’re all a great watch. I’m currently about do to a TVR run
I recently made a Toyota MR2 racing car and it was pretty difficult to drive (given it is an MR car), but after a few tweaks on the setup I managed to get it a lot more simple to control. It also need only 1 stop to complete the event. Hope you can make a video about it, enjoy :)
I don't really understand what you mean by not needing to pit or not needing wet weather tires because every time I do this race I get tons of rain and it becomes impossible to not hydroplane.
no way, depending on intensity and duration you have to change tyres. even with 4x4 you get terribly slow and have aquaplaning all over the place.... I go mostly 3,2,2 sometimes 2.2.3 if it's no super heavy rain, the intermediates are the best choice for the 2 wet laps
Total race time 30mins 40secs with Same car, same setup. Fuel setting 1 power. Pit at lap end of lap 4 tyres + fill fuel to 55% or Pit at lap end of lap 5 fill fuel to 40%
Have they done something to the car with updates or something? It's only 676pp now 😮 the acceleration performance is not as good now when I'm looking at the sheet. Wtf?
Updates have changed a number of cars quite a bit over time yeah. I've done loads of builds for cash aside from this one though which still work, like the Celica and NSX rally cars which are solid choices
I personally use the mazda 787b, mainly cos i love it but it can also cap at 170mph/ 274 kmh. I use a 1 or 2 pitstop for 1st for fuel and tired and 2 if i need to use another lap i change to hards to burn through the lap.
I'll give it a go. I usually used for this track Mitsubishi 3000GT. Full eco so i slapped 6. Fully modified and downgraded so it could fit the criteria. Downside of this car is that i always have to pit every 2 laps and i have break much early and watch out for sharp turn especially the last part of the track cause it slides like crazy
did some one looked at the Mazda RX787b, it is a beast @ fuell map 6 and hard racing tyres, it goes all the way to the finnish with out a stop and you lap a car at the end if your lucky with the weather
This whole week it’s rained and wet the track but was never driving in it. It just rained on track and moved on. The Radical I like better it’s faster but you will pit.
car i use is the viper '13. tuned to slightly under 700PP. with no rain i get about 2 minutes ahead of the other racers. at fuel mix 6 i can go upto 3 laps before pit.
It isn’t a real race car if it doesn’t have a livery that makes it look like a pack of Marlboro reds
I have it on my Nissan R92CP 😂

I've purposely pushed to see if I could get an 8 lap race before. That last lap when you are out of fuel is bloody boring LOL. I just wanted to see if I could do it as I had a few races within 2-10 seconds of it. I 'think' I was using the Gr4 Silvia but memory may be hazy on that.
@@86wezza88 yeah it is horrendous at 50mph haha. Didn't want it to happen but was so concentrating on breaking the 4 min mark that i didn't notice the time! The Genesis is the only one I've managed it in, all my other quick times are a few seconds over the 30 min mark like you mention!
That was a 2 stop btw, 3 laps then 2 sets of 2 with a fast one at on lap 7.
I didn't swap out anything & did that. It was on lap 8 and was a over lap too. 😂
The new RS Camaro is a blast to use at that track. You have to set your power to 6 to save fuel for the most of the race, but even set that low it still blows all the other cars away. I haven’t touched another track since I found this easy money. Every car in my garage is currently getting tuned to the max now lol.
which one ?
Another fun car to use for this track.
F-Type, AMG GT3, Megane Trophy and now this!
Nice to add to the rotation 👌🏻
gr3 f type?
This was such great fun. Thank you for this build. I may not have tried out this car otherwise. At first I used bumper cam as usual. For kicks, i tried cockpit view bc it is an open top. Very good visibility, you can actually see & use BOTH rearview mirrors, and ups the immersion factor. After about 30sec I thought, I can’t wait for VR in this thing.
Thanx for this mate.This is just amazing in VR.👍👍👍
This Redbull and the GTO are definitely #1 for this race. A wacky car that I used a few times was the GT by Citroen Road Car. You can do a lot of events with it, and it certainly feels cooler to drive than the Gr.4 cars. I'm curious to see how you feel about it if you try it out.
100k soon, early congrats to you btw
Eh the ft1500 is great too
Citroen is also my favourite.
@Si Plays Songs this is what I have been using, except with hards, such a huge gas tank it’s perfect for this race
I find that the gto uses too much fuel
Thx for the video man! I did this in the same car and with the same strategy and it works! Keep it going!
I have just tuned this car after getting the 1.16 update and the performance points are still the same. Very easy credits to be earned here
I used this car on the Le Mans 30min race and got first place with minimal spend on upgrades. Great car that quickly pays for itself, its fuel consumption is so low that you make up time without needing to pit as often.
Still my fav go to! I use this as my first race everyday, just to make a little money as I'm a long way into the game. Made my clean racing go up 10 fold too; as I make sure I avoid all the cars. Great vid
Thank you. Have been trying to get better than second place, and this car did it. No pits really helped.
My favorite car to use in this event is the Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak 1987. The only modification should be a mid rpm turbo and that’s it
I should try Red Bull Junior, not really drived any of those special vehicles yet.
It's a great little car and is very easy to drive fast.
The best part about taking the RB Junior car? Teaches me how to drive actual racing cars, like this and the super formula and the LMP1 cars. I'm not good at maximizing the best out of them. Yet.
This car still works even with having to put once depending if it rains. One your in the lead set fuel to 3-4 and you car run in the lead till the checkard flag! Thanks for posting this set up. I enjoy this little car!!!
I followed this tune and mine came out at 710PP but that is on the 1.52 update. is there a tune for the new update as I now have to use a power restrictor to get below 700PP?
Use a ballast and set to 60
I use the 787B for a no stop strategy, mostly because it's one of my favourite race cars of all time and it sounds so good. Might give this a go tomorrow as I've been trying a load of different cars lately just to keep things feeling different. I tried the Nissan Silvia Q’s (S13) ’88 with the LS7-BRZ engine swap today and after 1 lap I was over 30 seconds ahead thanks to the 1000+ BHP it had but it was a no go because it used a full tank of fuel in that 1 lap 😂
I cannot get my hands on that car 😞
What car is 787b
I just use the Toyota hypercar at sardegna at 800pp. Takes me right at or right under 25 minutes for 750kish. Super easy and no weather
I do it with the nismo gtr gt2
Also tokyo ring 600pp , i use mazda gt4 on hard sports tires,high rpm turbo and gearbox 290kph. No pitstop. 850k 29 min
As of update 1.41 it still works, though I had to slap Soft tires to increase PP because it got nerfed I think, still most fun I had since the risky "Tokyo Express Way" grind. Thank you HSG for the setup.
I just tried this, it still works! That is a great little car. I never would have thought to try it.
I did this race with the Suzuki Escudo. I got first by 3 lap and stopped for fuel by the end of 4th.
ECU - 70%
Performance Adj - 80
Tires - Racing Hard
My go to on this Le Mans race is my BRZ Drift Car, significantly modified for use in races. It has 1195hp (699.99pp), and reaches 235 on the straights in Le Mans. I pass the entire field quite easily in the first half of the first lap, and even though I must pit every 2nd lap, I never see the other cars again. I must match the tires to the weather, but since I'm pitting every other lap anyway, this is not a problem.
I love my BRZ. I've found nothing that can match it on this course at 700pp.
This car is perfect for this event, win without problems, you can setup 1 on power and make 1 pitstop.
Doing this race with this exact build on hard difficulty is very different from this. The leader is doing laps of 4.18 , even in the rain he gets 4.20ish. You start 15s behind and will most likely be 30s at the end of the first lap. And this car on rain with hard tyres is close to undriveable, even on a straight line. I might just do it on easy like everyone else.
When your grinding fuck having the races hard
(the AI corvette did 4:16:412 on my try. LOL, this ain't work for me.) bull shit what i said, i was wrong, this method is 100% works perfectly, because the IA pit twice, i was doing it wrong, so sorry bro, the vid is 100% right on this. they lose 60s on the pits. i did it on hard mode, total possible my friend try it again!
@@augustodebbane612 I decided to go through with this and the AI pitted at the start of the last lap. It works but it's very stupid xD
I agree with you, I couldn't do it on hard difficult!! If you don't change tyres it's undriveable and when it stops raining, tyres start to wear out and car spins in every corner !!
i playing it too on hard, but its very slow then on easy haha
I got dead ass last using this car. Fuel map to anything but 1 and I get murdered on the straight. First two cars don't put till 4. I put, put on intermediate and once it clears up it's slip and slide
The Ford Group B rally with uprated turbo makes this ridiculously easy as well. It’s also a reward from a cafe book so is literally free. Alfa 155 is my go to however. Generally lap at least 80% of the AI.
Good shout! The Ford Group B rally is excellent on fuel with mix 6 and brilliant on tyre wear. Never thought of using this, plus like you said it’s free from the café challenges. I don’t yet have the 155. Cheers mate 👍
Brilliant all around.
The content (which legit works)
The way you explain in concise detail.
Thank you.
Instant sub
Nice one, glad it helped out 🤙
This is cool asf
Works like a gem!
Good job mate 🚗
I like the livery
Thought you might lil baba ;)
Yes ,they should have name this game Grand"rain"Turismo 7..notice the high credit races have rain in them . I'm glad they fixed the Tomahawk, but its collecting dust due to the fact you can't low the pp or top speed..thankyou GT7 makers.
Lol...byou...bring your own umbrella ☔☔☔☔☔
Thank you for this! Definitely a fun way of doing it! 😊👍
Great, high quality videos as always. Thanks.
I just did this last night, It worked great, didnt catch the leader until the 5th lap which made things fun. I hated just flying past the AI with no fight using the Carrera GT4
The Audi R8 road car, race tuned to 700pp is perfect for this race.
The Radical car is well worth a look, similar to the junior but more poke.
Pagani Huayra is my go-to. Max out the engine and most components, then restrict/ballast it down. Full-lean will get 3 laps at 4:20-ish. 2-3 fuel gets you 2 laps around 4:05. Even with pit(s) you’re always 1.5-2 minutes ahead.
787b, add ballast and restrict it, set downforce to lowest on the front and near highest on the rear, racing hard tyres, set fuel to 6 and you get a full 7 laps at 4:05
Try the Alpine A220 with a few upgrades. The PP level is 699.67
Great vid, thanks for sharing!
Could someone please answer, Is a pitstop supposed to take 30 to 45 seconds? Pit, select tyres, takes up to 30 seconds for the car to pull into pitstop? Enter pit 1st to 3rd place and finish race 8th? No pitstop race I win, pitstop race pure rubbish. Remember the day you actually got an instruction book that told you all this before playing and would be good if you could set fuel consumption and traction control before driving...
I tried the Jr. on your recommendation. Great car until it rains. I have no idea how you can keep the car on the track on RH’s through a downpour. Full assists did not help the situation at all. Fun car until then
Sometimes you'll overshoot a corner no matter what, but generally speaking I slap the TCS on 5, use less throttle, and try to stick mostly to the center of the road since the camber of streets is intended to make rain run down the sides like in real life
I dont get it. I'm trying to do it with this same car, i get same time print as yours around 4:22 per round and i only get to finish 3rd with a big 30 sec behind the first car... are you playing on easy mode or what? I'm on ard here. the first car always seams to clear the race at around 30:43 min:sec. I get the same times as you so i suppose im not that bad. Dont know what i'm doing wrong
My favorite car to use curently Is the Alpine VGT. It's ridiculously fast and is surprisingly fuel-efficient. I also found out very recently that the road version is better than the race version even though the race version is also able to do 7 laps under 30 minutes
Whats your tune? Did you mess with Downforce or just output?
I like the alpine a220 reaches 200 in the straights getting around 4 minute laps when not pitting, also usually wait at the end of lap 7 a few seconds
Thank you very much. I prefer Le Mans than Sardinia, much more fun
Before I try this does it give that much money as it says in the title?
Yes its a 20 min race and it gives 550000 per run
This car and track combo is good only if there is rain (more the better) 5% of races don't rain and it makes this race closer than I like. It is a fun car though.
This car standard, plus intermediate tyres and fuel mix 4 will do the whole race with no stop! Even if it rains heavy youll be ok on the IW. You will be slightly slower per lap than the AI using fuel mix 5 and a little fuel saving driving (also to reduce tyre wear) but with their 2 pit stops youll win every time
Great tip, thanks mate
Would this tutorial work with the F1500t-a?
I know the DB9 and a couple other Gr.3 when tuned right... can do a no stop with considerable ease when tuned and driven right. Some of them can basically do 7 laps in 30min flat....
Any tips on how to handle this thing in the rain (which more often than not is a guarantee in this race)? The only advantage this car has over others I've tried is that it doesn't need to pit - if you have to go in for wet or intermediate tires to deal with the rain then it loses. I can't win with this car but I can every time with something like a Nismo GT-R.
Yea , also depends on what difficulty u play at . He clearly plays on easy , his lap times are very slow and he's 1min ahead .... On hard he doesn't win this with this car . I don't like this car for this race at all .. on easy difficulty, it's just that , easy . But it's sooooo boring racing by urself for 30mins straight
I have been using the mclaren f1 94, its a bit tail happy but fun and quick. 699.91pp 433bhp 1170kg
If you are talking about the Ueno Mayo Clinic one then your sadly mistaken. For me that car's handling is horrid beyond belief. what I'd like to know is how on earth did you get it to handle easily without ramming it into corner or losing the race ?
@@ciscodeer9094 not the race car, the over priced road car
@@ciscodeer9094 no way. the F1 GTR Le Mans Winner just has to lift it's nose a bit. my fav GT3
@@risingpheonix7303 Oh okay your mention the one you use in Mt. Panorama for the circuit experience gotcha, overpriced indeed.
@@noideafilm Okay I'll try
I just did this with the Silvia S13 (LS7-BRZ) fuel lean 6. Piece of cake.
I use the grb audi quattro rally car(maxed out) fuel map 6 and racing hard tires your fuel will last for only 3 laps exactly so you'll know when to refuel and refuel b4 the last lap ( i do it 7 laps in total)
This just takes all the fun out of the game.. all you have to do is use a group 4 car and can easily win And not be so far In front of the opponents, that it seems like time trial.. I could understand if it was like the Tokyo express but this race is 30 mins whatever car you use... thanks for the video tho it was pretty good 👍
So true
You definetly need intermediate, because if it starts to rain and you are on heavys you can quit instant. No Chance to Drive and KI is crashing you into nirvana.
My favorite for it has been the 1966 Ford GT40. Stock suspension, stock trans, and just do all the power mods, brakes, and aero stuff from GT auto. You have to turn the power restrictor a few clicks but that car is an absolute monster. Flys by all the other cars on the straights. A little slow out of the corners because of the long gearing of the stock trans. I was about a minute behind 1st on the last lap one time and I turned the fuel back to 1 and I caught up and won the race. It’ll go 4 laps with fuel on 6. 5 laps if you short shift it.
Hey, I just found your channel. Thanks for the setup guide. I'd just been messing with Gr4 cars on this race and this car and setup are great fun and an easy win.
Thank you 🙂👍
When are you going to do a new build. I really enjoy them.
There are a couple still to come, so they'll be on the channel before too long
@@HSGAutomotive great news... I honestly can’t wait. I’m looking every week for em. Thank you for all the vids. They’re all a great watch. I’m currently about do to a TVR run
I recently made a Toyota MR2 racing car and it was pretty difficult to drive (given it is an MR car), but after a few tweaks on the setup I managed to get it a lot more simple to control. It also need only 1 stop to complete the event. Hope you can make a video about it, enjoy :)
KTM X-BOW is also excellent, requiring a high rpm turbo, etc. Might make for a good video. It's been my goto on Le Mans.
I don't really understand what you mean by not needing to pit or not needing wet weather tires because every time I do this race I get tons of rain and it becomes impossible to not hydroplane.
no way, depending on intensity and duration you have to change tyres.
even with 4x4 you get terribly slow and have aquaplaning all over the place....
I go mostly 3,2,2 sometimes 2.2.3
if it's no super heavy rain, the intermediates are the best choice for the 2 wet laps
Total race time 30mins 40secs with Same car, same setup.
Fuel setting 1 power.
Pit at lap end of lap 4 tyres + fill fuel to 55% or
Pit at lap end of lap 5 fill fuel to 40%
Meanwhile I’m out there doing this with a RE Amemiya RX-7 which literally lasts 2 laps and then needs to pit
👍 nice. From what level does this race come available?
Thanks this was helpful. pp was adjusted to 695
Have they done something to the car with updates or something? It's only 676pp now 😮 the acceleration performance is not as good now when I'm looking at the sheet. Wtf?
Updates have changed a number of cars quite a bit over time yeah. I've done loads of builds for cash aside from this one though which still work, like the Celica and NSX rally cars which are solid choices
I've been using this car forever it's like the second car I bought
You don't necessarily have to get the Red Bull Junior. Any grade 3 car will work
No one said you did. Plenty of cars can win, this is one of them
I personally use the mazda 787b, mainly cos i love it but it can also cap at 170mph/ 274 kmh. I use a 1 or 2 pitstop for 1st for fuel and tired and 2 if i need to use another lap i change to hards to burn through the lap.
I use the 787B too but I do a no stop on hards, just set the fuel map to 6 and it's a done deal
Anyone got any really good cars for the Spa 800 1 hour race? I know the hustle isn't as good but I enjoy the race
BMW mclaren f1 gtr race car, the gr2 one, its unstoppable
919
Everytime
Brz gt300. Best for that one.
Gonna try this one too! Great video man! Like & Sub deployed👍✌
Hope you do a real car reviews of the Mercedes AMG A35. Great video, will give it a try when work isn't on my case. 😱
So you dont have to pit? I'll like the sound of that
I'll give it a go. I usually used for this track Mitsubishi 3000GT. Full eco so i slapped 6. Fully modified and downgraded so it could fit the criteria. Downside of this car is that i always have to pit every 2 laps and i have break much early and watch out for sharp turn especially the last part of the track cause it slides like crazy
did some one looked at the Mazda RX787b, it is a beast @ fuell map 6 and hard racing tyres, it goes all the way to the finnish with out a stop and you lap a car at the end if your lucky with the weather
The Porsche 918 spyder is an awesome choice i won with a 30 second lead, and its and amazing looking car to drive for 30 min lmao
When I do this event with this setup I can never win and it feels so slow, could there be a problem in my tune?
I used the Renault Megane Trophy. Also works very good
i do the Honda 2&4 maxed out tune Racing Mediums and its a 1 stopper on Fuel map 1 time around is about 4.14 per lap under sun and chill ^^
This whole week it’s rained and wet the track but was never driving in it. It just rained on track and moved on. The Radical I like better it’s faster but you will pit.
So does the Red Bull Junior suffer the same syndrome as it does in GT6?
car i use is the viper '13. tuned to slightly under 700PP. with no rain i get about 2 minutes ahead of the other racers. at fuel mix 6 i can go upto 3 laps before pit.
Yeah did a viper build too 👌
