Recommended setting for DS3 user :

Steering sensitivity at +1 or +2, all aids off, except ABS 1 ( if not comfortable with ABS 0 ) with 4/5 brake balance as starting point.



Notes :

Special replica for 458 Italia Challenge, using Ferrari 458 Challenge real life data gathered. Weight/distribution, springs are available and used in this build.

Suspension has been tuned to make it stable with 58% rear weight, racing hard tire fitment and stiff springs set used by Challenge car. Rear damper compression base is at 3, with optional 4 for better stability, this also allows much easier oversteer control, but may cause slight push on high speed corners.

The reference used is 1:47.1s lap at Daytona Road course ( with slightly different layout used ), the real car tops out at 180mph on main straight, this build with 493HP can go a bit faster due to the lack of drag at high speed ( but acceleration, cornering speed, shift up point and braking point are spot on on racing hard tire )

The real lap for reference, notice the different layout ( last half ), but the time should not be much different.



Can be used on Big Willow seasonal race, easily win on CS tire.

All 3 can win, pick your poison. The Dino has stock gearbox, feel free to use custom box for easier win, it's fun to drive.
 
The F40 is so well balanced, even on comfort hards it is very stable. Here's what I used for a fun and challenging race:
Kept the tune pure to see what the car feels like, and man what a car!

I tried a stock 458 Italia on CH tyres, and boy did the race become fun and enjoyable. The AI suddenly becomes fast in the corners and you really need to concentrate on putting the power down on exits to make your straight line speed advantage count.
