Hit level 30 this morning

Did the first Pro race which is Group D, I actually found it quite easy with a MX-5, they handle brilliantly and with a racing gearbox and spoiler pretty much out corner any other group D.

I think the racing gearbox is probably the killer app for most cars, it lets you get every bit of power out of an engine rather than have a load of useless top end

I've got a slightly souped up FTO for group D, it's powerful enough to get me 1-2 seconds ahead per lap on people, and being front engined and front wheel drive, I never have to worry about oversteering it into a wall

For Class D I found the Focus ST with a couple of breathing mods to get it to 399 pretty much perfect. Did the Class D endurance race and lapped the entire field

On GT3 I felt there was a definate advantage to the FF configuration and the 4x4s were just too dominant, with Forza I found that the two cars I like the most so far are the MX5 and the 911 GT3 RSR two cars I would have hated in GT3. I also have found that Forza makes you drive properly, with GT games I just bullied the cars around the corners and didn't worry about traction loss, with Forza you can tell you are losing power if your rear wheels are squeeling around the corner, it makes you brake in a straight line and go to the apex properly

I'm currently getting the AI Drivers to do my Endurance Series races. There is an American driver who seems to win every race but only take 55% of fee's, so I make a large cut anyway.

I did one of the endurace races myself... that was enough.

He's currently on lap 13 of 45 and is 11.5 seconds ahead, so seems to be going well. This is in the Type-R Wings West Civic.

I'll be looking to do the same for some of the endurance races when I get there

It takes a while, but if you have a spare hour you're laughing.
I did one last night whilst watching a movie, one whilst sleeping and now one whilst posting here

I tried that last night after much frustration on the one race but the driver I picked was crap and finished 4th.

You'll still need a car which is half decent to win the races with a bot, even the top driver had a hard time in the manufactuer Focus race to win from forth place.

When I get the AI driver to do the endurance races for me I'll make sure my car is tweaked to perfection to give him a very big edge over the opposition
