I made some intense come-backs during the championship, at Monza I got spun out on the start right before the chicane, ended up all the way to the right in the grass, recovered a 20+ second deficit, same on the last race at suzuki. Saved the replays, I think I will upload them to youtube.
Each race is ~30 minutes. Championship is worth $549K + 91K per race for gold.

Did you use the stock setup for the FGT? Any mods on it?
I have soft racing tiers on mine, can you do any other mods than that?

I lapped most cars in the FGT championship pretty easily. The only one I didn't was Monte Carlo where I messed up with 2 laps to go, went down to 4th then finished 2nd. VERY frustrating given each race is like 30 mins long.

Biggest shortcut I found was at Nurburgring GP course for the FGT race. Second to last turn is a nasty chicane. If you cut across the grass leading up the hill, you can avoid braking and make up a ton of time. The other advantage with that corner is that several cars will crash at that corner on every lap so you need to time it so you don't get caught up in the crash.

oh boy I haven't sat down and done a stint that long in awhile
I'm going to practice a lot first before going for the FGT championship
on a side note, 500cr for an engine rebuilt on the McLaren is pretty sweet
