I'm so frustrated. I just can't beat it.

I tried "Like the Wind" with my Veyron after doing everything I could to it with mods and it just plows into the wall every time the track takes a turn.

Have you fiddled with the transmission gearing, suspension and aero? Longer gearing, higher and way softer suspension and more downforce made the car much more driveable. But it was close, at the Nordschleife race, I think I took 4 breaths throughout the whole 7min lap ...

And yes, the Judd was faster, but I was usually able to get enough of a lead while he passed opponents that he couldn't catch me. I don't remember blocking opponents in those races ... in some others though "oh you're the fast one" ... stomps on brakes ... blocks opponents to the last place, takes off, passes very aggressively ... opponent takes 4 laps to pass one guy. Win.

I think I used the Zonda R for the Like The Wind Indy race. Boosted to 900hp, soft racing tires, extra 5pts of aero fore and aft and I trump them so bad in the corners they can't catch me. Can't remember anything for Daytona, other than it being it a PITA because they kept ramming me into the rail.

Got all golds at the Nascar event yesterday, they gave me a car! So glad I don't have to fork out 500k for that horrible thing.
