Tuner Comments:
That car will spin out for sure they think. Muahaha - the oversteering tail-happy ride has been tuned out to a more balanced set up that feels like its stuck to the road. Great to drive round Nordschleife. Comments welcome - this is one of my first tunes. If you can enter races with 512pp the better - but the car runs sweetly with the power limit reduced to 500pp aswell.

EDIT: to bring it to 500pp you need to reduce the Engine Power Limiter slightly to bring the pp down. With 100% it runs at 512pp

Just a suggestion but if you leave off some of the weight reduction and maybe reduce aero downforce slightly you should reach 500PP exactly. The extra HP and torque should more than compensate for the added weight and people will be able to use the car even when the Power Limiter isn't allowed.:D

NO power limiting :mad: like X said the power will make up for the extra weight, plus I can't stand people cutting the balls off the car just to make a pp level. Fatten up your car :D :dopey:
 
Its perfect for 512pp races. Just not many of those around. Try the setup. I would like some feedback on the setup rather than PP level
 
Ok I didn't get to try this tune for the exact pp level but I did try it maxed out. It's still pretty good. I attempted to make my own tune but couldn't get it perfect. This tune similar to the one I made but the small things like brakes were better in yours. Again I haven't tested on this exact pp since mine has too many mods already, but try setting the rear toe to 0.30 since that helped my car a lot. Other than that pretty good although still tricky at higher mod level.
 
I drive this car at 505pp online, my front toe is -.06, rear toe is -.10 , and Acura NSX-R cannot pass me. 6:48s, if I don't crash. Only engine +2 & weight +1, & carbon hood. Add about 15 KG Ballast toward the rear (not far), It's one of my favorite contenders on the Nordschleife now, I love battling it's handling and the inputs at the wheel are overwhelmingly rewarding.

It rewards experienced drivers, looking for a good thrill at the front of Any pack. If you clip grass , forget time attack, let the others pass.

I'm now shaving extra precious split-seconds with simultaneous brake and gas techniques around some bends, to maintain a better speed, and exit launch with this wicked engine and formidable power. 292km'hr on straight, draftless.

Many different tunes are adaptable to this car, which is great.

when the oil gets old, buy another car.
