How are u supposed to win this race?

It doesnt matter wich car i use or the status of the driver...

The chicane is a nightmare, the driver always get stuck. Its like watching the same movie over and over again... doesnt matter what u tell the driver to do... he is always going to get stuck.

Once I finally managed to get to 2nd place on the fourth lap I just could not pass the leader.

Is anyone having the same problem?

I've done it a couple of times without a problem. I used the Chaparral 2J Race Car '70 and basically kept spamming the decrease pace instruction. No other instructions required other than to keep them slow. Enough laps to catch the Ford GT. Second time I completed it was with a Ford XR8 as the lead AI car. Needless to say, this was much easier to catch, so exit and hope to get the XR8 instead of the GT. My driver does crash when they are side by side with a car at that chicane, this happened once and he still won against the GT. Keeping them slow prevents this from recurring and hopefully only happens once during the first lap.  Once your driver is 2nd, stop spamming the decrease pace instruction but maintain them at half-way or less, spam it again once he catches the lead AI car.  With the 2J, keep the weight at lowest and power enough to qualify for the PP requirement, short straights means less speed required so I think I set my tranny at maybe 250km/h or so. Hope that all helps.

I used the BMW McLaren F1 car, with power limited to get the right PP. Same deal with above in that you keep spamming the decrease option and don't have too many issues, I had the Ford GT and took the lead with 3 laps to spare.

Same here as welll with the Lawl2j,

If I was catching up to someone here I would use decrease speed through the tunnel section and try pass them through the rest of the track.

It is a little painful to see how bad bob is around this track, even as a level 40

Level 36 Bob, driving Praino tuned McLaren F1 chasing McLaren F1.

Enjoyable event, not set and forget like the rest.

Speed down in the tunnel is the only advice I can give.

I can't do this either.  I got the 3rd a couple of times.  I'd dearly like help as it's really pis_sing me off not being able to pass it because of the stupid buggy AI.  Shame on Polyphony for allowing such a ropey feature in their game.

I don't have a Chaparrel 2J or a GT Spec II but I DO have some of the cars that win.  They are fast enough to win from the front but not the back.  Severely upset about this.  Attempt number ~50 in progress and last having hit Nouvelle AGAIN!!!!! AAARRRRGGGGHHHH.

Hope that helps
