19		You're going to need a lot of credits and cars to play this game to its fullest extent, as it's on you and your GT7 wallet to build the game around yourself. That said, it's all in the name of fun so make it what you need/want it to be! • Gather all opponent cars in "Last Used" sort for quicker gridbuilding. • Don't actually sell cars, use "favorite/unfavourite" to move in/out of your GT3 garage. • Build future events from previous ones to preserve driver names/nationalities - give them personalities (your sold cars, favorite makes, tuning preferences, livery/color schemes)! • Know how to Custom Race (see below)

33		6/3 - Launch V2	The next tab is streamlined to require minimal input from you - basically, jot down what you spend on cars and upgrades, what you sell them for, and write in the license letters as you earn them (I used GT7's Master Licenses). Fill out your finishing grid position in the white-background cells, feel free to hide completed events' rows as you go. It's skinny as I built it on my phone and encourage you to keep your phone nearby when playing, too! The spreadsheet doesn't really facilitate 'grinding' or finishing an event multiple times to improve your payout, so you have to tally those excess winnings in the extra cell at the top. For me, it kind of worked out that I didn't need to, as I lucked into a few of GT7's comparably expensive prize cars. Prize cars are dynamic, often randomized fields, so note down what car they expose when you earn them (don't copy paste the randomized functions) in your GT3 Garage. I have tried to blend a mix of GT3's original prize cars, GT7's full car roster (and expanded economic scale), and historically-accurate grids (All Japan = JGTC, German Touring Cars = '90s DTM, Tuscan Challenge, etc.) to make this my personally-preferred experience. Prize Cars and Payouts are pulled from hidden "aux" tables, should you want to make any modifications to make this your own. I have included an updated version of Dieselton's Car Roster in here to assist your journey. Please refer to Nakano's Web App and the Fandom Wiki to help design your own experiences or to keep to a more faithful GT3 parallel. Big thanks for the tool, Nakano, as it inspired this project, as did my presence in GTPlanet's Custom Race thread. It's an honor to be here :) - pritchyTim

62		About Custom Races
63		Custom Race is the greatest feature in the franchise (thanks, 05XR8), but many of us still don't know how to use it yet. I will confess in advance, on PD's behalf, that it still isn't perfect. Longer races expose an underlying rubber-band system that favors the player, AI cars only use 98% throttle, AI have no pit strategy or weather forecast, and AI cannot equip any nondefault tire compounds except RH. Still, by being aware of these and working to minimize these issues, you can create beautiful, competitive single player races to almost any (multiclass is weak) specification. Some must-know tips for Custom Racing: • Professional AI • Boost=Weak for the best contest • Boost Off for better payouts • Balance grids using power/weight ratio (primarily) and PP (secondarily) • Grid starts can lead to good 2x2 opening laps • I turn collision/shortcut penalties off as the AI will abuse you and track limits • I tend to keep my races to a single stint to minimize rubberbanding • I probably don't mention this enough in here, but play however you have the most fun • Swap your tune sheet in the pre-race lobby (see below) The game assesses payout and relative AI difficulty based on the PP difference between your current tune and those of the AI drivers at the time of launching the race, which can be leveraged to ensure a fair contest versus the AI (you can also use this to increase payouts). Duplicate your tune sheet and slightly lower the dupe's power to create what I refer to as the "User" tune sheet (in replica grids, it helps to give all cars an "AI" and "User" tune in case you want to hop in a different car). Only flip to it after loading up the race. To create your "User" tune for each car, drop power restrictor by 6-9 points and lower transmission top speed by 10-20kph, to make up for your loss in acceleration. It can vary by track and car, feel free to make this your own beyond my baseline.
