Cote D'Azur/Monaco in the Historic cup... hardest B spec so far, barring the Nascar Daytona race.
Couple of cars will do this, (Toyota 7, Ferrari P4, Chap 2J or 2D) but max the downforce front and rear, and set the gearing to 160mph max. Any faster, he'll be too slow out of the corners, any lower and he will wheelspin everywhere.
Also check the starting lineup - if you have 2 or more of the Toyota 7 or Chap 2J in front of you, then quit and restart for a better chance. It will still take 5-6 laps to get to position 2, then hustle the lead car 'til they make an error.
It is better to change the view from camera tracking to cockpit, and issue the commands based on what you see. Do NOT issue an overtake command as you go into the tunnel, as he will crash at the bus stop, instead use increase pace. Likewise, on the final double right into the pit straight, use increase pace rather than overtake. As you cross the start/finish line, go for overtake, and issue another as soon as the timer runs down to give him a good pace up the hill.
The prize is the '65 Alfa TZ2.
This race was doing my head in last night! Got my driver in to the lead only for him to throw it away on the last lap. Will try these tips tonight.

I finished B spec last week.
I had to tell someone.
My playstation was on from Christmas day to last week, doing at least 2 x 9 hour grinds a day which left me the other 6 hours to play online.
When you get to the higher level it's insane. Something like 6 x 24 hour grinds between 39 and 40.

Also ramp the LSD right up to about 35/60/45 as it helps traction no end, meaning he's in a position to overtake at the end of the straights far more often. That change was the difference between my level 14 Bob coming no higher than 5th and winning fairly comfortably. I would say though that if the Chapparal 2J is leading then I wouldnt put any money on bob getting past, much better to come across him whilst in the pack as he seems to spin quite often or get boxed in behind another car as he did with my bob, who went down the inside of both into the first corner St Devote.
Done it! Increased the aero, reduced the top speed on the gearing and tweaked the LSD settings and Bob had no problems. Took about 5 laps to get through the pack but once in clear air he caught up with and passed the 2J that was leading. Thanks for the tips.
