You're 100% about the WTC900 course!
To be clear, I'm many many years past remotely trying to race that track. If I ever do check it off the bucket list, I'll be one of those people who pay their hard earned money to drive around it in a minivan.

Hey Maestro, how important is the increase body rigidity for this one? There's not a lot of permanent customization options for the FXX-K so I don't want to have 2 versions of the car if needed since it's so expensive but I got another ferrari invite so if it's necessary I may double dip so I can keep one car completely stock. Hm...

Yesterday i've spent around 4 hours on the Mercedes 300SL '52. A
24.000.000 Cr$ new body. First on Sport soft tires at 550PP. No aerodynamics , no ground effect diffuser...
When i've found the best balance for the car , i wasn't 100% satisfied with it , the car was losing the rear end easy , passing over the grip on agressive corners entry.
Then i decided to instal "increase body rigidity". I've found a clear improvement.
I mostly use ncrease body rigidity on 100% FR ,MR and RR cars , Never on FF cars.
To resume , i never use it on lazy front cars.
Dude, just THANK YOU. For everything. You made this game more fun. Anyway, i finally made an account so i could say that,lol, and also i'm getting more cars and finally got the r92cp. It's got an amazing engine, then i saw that huge list you've compiled and bam, i had hardly driven this car but it had this swap so i had to. Used all your settings le mans 800 first time and this thing is REALLY good. Has great fuel economy and tons of torque. You keep it up my friend, thanks again!

Thank you! This was my 497 out of 497 collected cars. After I bought it the other day, I used suspension and LSD settings the same as you had on the 54 car even though you couldn't adjust downforce on this one and it has less power. But I raced it for 2 laps at Le Mans against Sophie and came in 2nd. Looking forward to giving this tune a try.

Any chance on getting some of the swapped Mitsubishi Evos set up from yourself?
Poly dumped 5 of them on us in the last update and I always like to apply a Praiano tune to my engine swapped cars wherever possible as these are the cars I predominantly use for the weekly tasks & 600-800pp cash grinds.
Keep up the good work!

Hi, I saw that you put a set-up for the 155 Ti DTM and I was wondering if that would be suitable for lapping at the Nordschleife for a 1 hour race.
I also ask you, isn't the setup I find for the T1 sumbabus a little too unstable so high? I also have to do a race with the T1 with swap engine and it's not easy to manage.
thank you so much... you are doing an immense job!!!!

That is a very old setup and was used during a game version where car height actually was beneficial to stability overall.
Anything older than 1.40 should be taken with a grain of salt - it might still work, but just as well might have different PP or was created with a different set of tyre physics.

Depends on the transmission setup.
If you needed it to be longest gear 1 then in the current version it propably will be different.
I dont know how many setups are affected, though none of them I have run on this version (which is not a large amount) have had this problem yet.

Yes , normally a single setting match most of the EVO . At least III , IV , V , VI. I still have to test the actual IX on others older EVO.
For the Alfa , yes . It was tested on Nordschleife like all my " ALL Track" settings. Perhaps the gerbox need a special set.
Just remember "Don't overdrive it like you lead a normal 4WD. This car is very sharp , performant , still easy if you stay agressive but don't pass the limit or you'll be punished."
For the Samba bus SWAP , it always been all over the place , unstable is not the right word. It's totally undrivable , but fun around Alsace for example. I didn't check it recently.

A quick second on this, as @onedjyoulike is spot on. I thought it was a gimmick, yet again, given how totally unusable I found such steering to be on PS4 and earlier consoles. As you described, my problem was the same. Without something to rest against, most especially since it lacks ANY natural friction/resistance, anything approaching fine control was impossible. It's fine for Wii and Kart racers, which by design are over-the-top, but not in anything like a sim.
One day I came across a thread where someone was talking about how dramatically motion sense steering improved GT7 for him on PS5. I didn't have a wheel yet so I gave it a try. I was stunned. There is a very small learning curve, but there is no comparing DualSense motion steering to any prior implementations. Once I'd run a few races with it, I could not go back to the joystick, and it was with that motion steering that I finally passed the hardest license tests I had failed with the stick (pre wheel). I did best on sensitivity 2-3 when starting out, eventually using 5-6 most of the time.

Hey Mr @praiano63 ! I hope you're having a good day of races :-)
I was wondering if you've ever tuned the gr.4 veyron...I saw it's the meta for daily race b this week...I was wanting to grind lemans with it but it's a little shy of having the get up and go...i found a tune by exeter which i like but it's needs a wee bit more still...So if you ever feel like working your magic on it that would surely be a good day LOL ...

I’ve been using a lot of your tunes and love them all!
Edit: I can’t find any updates on the car in patch notes after you posted the tune. either I’m missing something essential or my game is just broken.
Edit2: turns out I did a brainfart on the turbo charger… disregard that 😂
Edit3: today is not my day apparently. Turns out rear bumper matters for front downforce tuning. I still had type A installed from setting up the pp700 tune and I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I figured it out and the tune seems to be ready!
