GT3 - A - spec
Ok, there's two non-tuned enduros, the Roadster and the Trial Mountain 2 Hour.
The Roadster is a pretty straightforward choice. You can only enter these four cars...
The Trial Mountain 2 Hour is much more open - you can enter with any untuned car. So let's look at the competition...
I have two strategies, depending on what I want to acheive...
1. Win! And damn quickly!! - Obviously, here just use the most powerful and controllable car you have. Of course, being a timed event, it will always take two hours, but you can be assured of winning.
2. Have a good close race - the longer races almost always come down to pit management. Choose a similat car to the competition, even one that's a little slower, and then out pit them to win. The way to do this is to make a good tyre choice and drive carefully, conserving the tyres.
Either way, make good use of qualifying. The AI will run qualifying in exactly the same way as it races, so you can quickly see just how often the AI cars will pit etc. Get out there and run enough laps to see them all pit (note there may be one car running super hard tyres and won't pit for ages, the 787B is good for that). Make sure you can keep in the running and pit as often or less than the AI and you know you;ll have the race in the bag.
My recommendation for option 2 styled racing: Skyline R34 or NSX. Although records show I've beaten this race with all the same cars listed above except the Lancer.
Good luck!

The NSX is a great choice - mid engine puts the weight in the right place and the cars is easy to handle. I usually do a quick tune buy fitting semi-racing suspension and dropping the ride height to the deck, fit sports brakes and also medium or medium hard tyres. As far as power goes, well you can do what you like. 
Now I'm not so sure how far into all this tuning you get, but I'll often get much farther into things with a car and tweak the handling all over the place. It's a matter of first understanding what effect each setting has on a car's handling, then making small changes, running a test run, changing things slightly again...
However, help is at hand - I also like to head to the GT Vault at http://www.gtvault.com/Default.cfm where bunches of people have posted their setups for just about every car in the game. There's a lot of variation in the setups, and many are meant for drifting, so I advise just try a few and settle for one that's near to what you like. Then go ahead and fiddle with things to make it better.
Oh, also check out GT3 Times (http://www.gt3times.com/) - this is another database where ppl have posted their best times for GT3. You'll be amazed!! I'm in there somewhere, but not the fastest - I kinda like to take a more average car and see what I can get out of it.

Down the line if you have a chance to grab one of the Formula 1's, do it. They're fast, nimble and can get into non-tuned races that arn't car limited. They're also great for Enduro's like Seattle as they come with medium grade racing tires and arn't overly hard on them. But the torque will shred the rear tires faster than the front causing the back end to become loose, keep an eye on that.

Well I got it too, I run a Mazda MX-5 (J) tuned over 300 HP (Maxed out) with a 6 speed gearbox. In other words a killing machine.
I take on amateur turbo leage to earn some quick cash, but my main problem is my Evo 4 GSR that doesn't want to drift with 307 HP.
It is stuck to the road and when I finally get it sideways and follow the 4WD rules (Full throttle and control the drift with steering only) the car takes the grip back and continiues nearly DEAD AHEAD!
If anybody could help me with that, I would be helpful, also, I hate the licenses, any cheats to get past them? I am a street racer so to me licenses is just crappy extra equipment, money and car matters though.
As for my Miata it does a top speed of 325 KPH I have beaten the Supra, NSX S-Zero, GT-R and RX-7, that was funny to do on a speed track, though I had HEAVY understeering so I had to use the walls to assist in cornering, braking up just made me loose time and the NSX would blow past me.
Once I got all the licenses done I can fully enjoy the game.
And where do I get the 787B 4 rotor car? I just love the spirit of aiming higher that can be felt in rotary engined cars.

Set the ASM to 0. No exception, set it to 0 on all car. It's useless and you lose time. more than anything else.Sweeper wrote:Well I got it too, I run a Mazda MX-5 (J) tuned over 300 HP (Maxed out) with a 6 speed gearbox. In other words a killing machine.

Don't use cheat! The most you try, better you are, better your driving techniques are. Take a close look to the demo replay and try to reproduce the most exactly as you can and you will surely get it. You don't have to get gold on all tests to reach 100% in the game.If anybody could help me with that, I would be helpful, also, I hate the licenses, any cheats to get past them?

So your Miata wasn't enough strong to beat them. Using wall is the way how looser drive. Use more grippy tire will surely help.
Like the Wind (20 laps on Test Course) and 75% game completed. If you plan to use it all the time, buy another 787B from your garage (trade option). So, you will always have a new 787B in your garage. High millage make your HP drop, even by changing oil.And where do I get the 787B 4 rotor car?

I tried several times on the international license yesterday, I am unable to get Bronze and keep the inside line.
There is a reason I call the Corvette for Spinvette with heavy understeering.
I just started hating that, but anyways thanks for your drift tip, anyways, I bought an FR RX7 yesterday, it quickly accepted me, the licenses with it was a breeze, guess me and muscle cars ain't a good combination.

Oh and that wall crashing I know, I didn't like doing it, but braking down to make the corner they would outrun me.
As for better tires... They cost more than the car, I buy better tires and all of a sudden I tripple the value of my car.

For the Corvette, don't try to go too fast. This car understeer a lot. Just try to find the best speed and put the cruise control ON. 
I suppose it's the circle test wet track.
Some licences are tough, I know. A7 (Camaro on Seattle, blind corner) tooks me more than 18 month to get the gold. Same for the rally hairpin techniques qith the Lancia Delta HF on Tahiti Maze. It tooks me a while to finally get it.

I pumped the gas and used brakes to shift weight to the front wheels to prevent understeering, I managed to get Bronze...
I got all the International licenses now all Bronze :Rolleyes:
As for the Camaro on Seattle, I had no problems, just took me 3 tries and I got it right.
But the final test on International A test was a pain.
I just couldn't do it.
In the end, I got mad, then I mean REALLY mad, so I stepped on the gas, I doubt I released it in the last few corners, the poor R34 was sliding like mad, doing 4WD drifts in a hell of a speed.
Funny thing is, I was so close to getting Silver, and so far away from not making it...

The best way to do this one is to find the best speed in each corner and hold the inside of the curb and not touching to the grass. Use manual transmission too. That's help and avoid useless downshifting. "Little" under-RPM is not that important, that even help to keep your speed stable.
