Not sure what they gonna fix, but there is a server maintnance scheduled for today/ tomorrow at 5am (UTC) to fix some errors in the game. Im sure the clean race bonus is one of the things being fixed, so today is grind day.

I just tested it on Tokyo Expressway for the 1st lap times. And the dificulty settings matched the times the AI did. It was faster on Hard, middle on Medium, and slower on Easy. But the thing is that the time the AI did on Easy and Normal was pretty much the same. And just faster on Hard.So it's bugged in reverse then?
It might be a case of the AI times changing when you go back to main menu and enter the race again. As it happens in some missions before.
In my tests for the 1st lap time on Tokyo Expressway done by the NSX'17 AI car, these was the results:
Easy - 2:28.774
Normal - 2:28.722
Hard - 2:27.243

From my experience, the race cars perform worst than the street cars tunned in this race. Gr.4 cars are too slow, and Gr.3 cars need to be detuned and become also too slow for the top speed on the straight.One thing i noticed while watching the AI drive during the replay is that all cars are tunned, they all have aero parts to increase downforce and dunno what under the mechanical tunes. The fastest AI is also using Soft tires, but in my race that made him pit 2 times and losing to the AI that was using medium tires by the end of the race.
In the Straight the AI NSX reached 305km/h, the GT-R'17 AI reached 308 km/h but is using medium tires so its slower on the turns but it came out on top by the end of the race compared to the NSX.
Pretty much my recomendation for this race is to use a powerfull street legal car that can reach 305-310km/h during the straight. And just do some tunes to help with grip and stability during the turns, like suspension and aero parts for downforce.
For my GT-R i also aplied a wide body-kit and a balast with 200kg to decrease the pp so i could use more power for the straight, the extra weight makes the car harder to break, but thers only 2 turns where you need to break hard.
One of my 1st tries in this race was using the Diablo and on straights that car was overtaking everyone, but i could not control it on corners with the wet track and hard tires. Thers probably alot stock cars that dont need much adjustments to win this race, but i had fun finding a good balance for my GT-R tune and winning with a car i really like.

I don’t know if that was proven yet, but missions also just don’t have static variables for everyone. Shit changes every time you go in and out like wind, rain intensity, or AI patterns. Might just be that.

One cool thing I noticed for the first time last night. I got side tracked on a phone call so my PS5 went into sleep mode while on the start race menu for one of the world touring races. When I came out of sleep mode it instantly was there and I hit start and was racing just as fast as normal. No waiting to reconnect for it being always online, and no booting me. Nice QOL feature.
The game also crashed on my buddy after his 3rd race in the final menu out of the 5 races. He left for a few hours, when he got back home and booted the game back up, it picked up right where he left off.

I want my darn C8 added.
Wish there were Koenigsegg's too, especially the Agera, but they don't have a racing tradition.

The 2nd daily race is unforgiving with penalties for touching the barriers.

Who is to say i cant run 12 clean laps with the Tomahawk without a glitch. I usually have one or two a race anyway.

I'm pretty sure the glitch they will fix is that the Tomahawk can ever get low enough PP to even enter the race, not that the clean race bonus is always active.
Well, they will probably do both, but you know what I mean lol

Yeah. What they need to fix is the way messed up gear ratios can lower so much the pp. Is not just the Tomahawk, you can do the same to all cars, like Formula 1 cars and put them in 600, 700pp races.
Ppl just been using the Tomahawk X, cuz the car has crazy speed with even more crazy downforces. But i saw a guy doing the same with a Formula 1 car.

Tomahawk was a good boi, just today gave me 10 million. Im sitting at 35 million now. Ready for those invite only cars and will still have 15 million left.

I will say of all the grindy exploits, not just in this game but in any game, the Tomahawk was one of the more fun ones. It was actually kind of a blast flying that thing around the track, the other cars basically became obstacles. Nailing the whole turn section from ramp to ramp while going full speed felt great.

People thought it was getting killed in this patch but apparently didn’t. They just gave out invites and fixed some music.

When you have all the HUD turned off, do you still get the notification when you're about to run out of gas?

Had to buy the Toyota SPRINTER TRUENO GT-APEX (AE86 Shuichi Shigeno Version) when I seen it in the used dealership for 99,000. Think its bugged out or I'm missing something though as races always say its not a road car or a race car for me so haven't really been able to use it

Tomahawk and the clean race bonus. But in the "Known Issues" post, they already mention the pp from messing up with the manual transmissions. So it will be fixed soon. How soon, no one knows.So, the Tomahawk method still lives!
And i went shopping today. Bought all the invite cars plus the electric Porsche and the VGT Bugatti. And still 15 millions left. I might go Pokemon on this game. Im also spending insame hours just browsing car, helmet and suit liveries.

My favorite track hands down, track of the braves and the smoothest
Such a good track, it has it all.
The part when you’re going uphill in the S pattern, reminds me so much of a Driveclub track that did similar. Almost to the T where they probably modeled it after this.
