- My tuning setups for GT2, GT3 and GT4 have apparently become infamous for their abnormally long 1st gears, so I decided to push it to the extreme. I wanted to find out if it was possible to beat the Historic Cup GT40 at Rome while staying in 1st gear for the entire race, and it turns out that, yes, it's very doable.
I chose the Camaro Z28 for a few reasons: 1: I forgot to mention this car in my Ultimate Guide list of the best 295hp cars, and I wanted to give it a spotlight in one of these challenges, 2: this car has unusually wide gears stock, and I thought it'd be funny to make them even longer, 3: its torque curve at mid-RPM's is ideal for this one-gear-only setup, and 4: it's the meme red Camaro from the near-impossible IC blind corners test. There is definitely potential to do this challenge with a weaker car, but I was happy enough with how the Camaro drove.
To make the longest 1st gear possible, I did the gear trick, but with auto 25. With 1st and final pushed all the way left, it reaches 228km/h, which is just enough for Rome's back straight. The car's launch is obviously pathetic, and it feels sluggish around the sharp right-hander at 100km/h, but otherwise it handles the gear setup well.
