Was struggling initially with the Panoz Esperante as it is readily in the garage.

Tried the Panoz Esperante. Pretty easy win. Car handles great with my own quick tune. I struggle with this bumpy & winding course, because it takes a toll on my mangled hand/wrist/fingers/elbows. The Esperante is one of only a few racing cars with racing Hard tires that I use 1.0 degree camber on the front and negative rear toe angle. Look for a good tune, because the Esperante should be pretty easy to win with. I would post my tune, but I would probably be laughed at for how ridiculous it is to help compensate for my limb disabilities! :(:lol::(

I used @TRL_Andromeda tune for the TS030 and got a 2nd. This tune is one of the best tunes I've ever used on the Ring. I haven't driven the Ring in a long time so I made plenty of mistakes. I was 6 sec. behind the winning Zonda. I'm sure that with this tune I'll get the win in a few more tries. I can't say enough about how good @TRL_Andromeda tune is. Very good job 👍👍👍

I am the same with you about the TS030 I am also in no rush to drive that car again, my 2 runs with this car I had trouble with the AI and making to many mistakes trying to get past them, I guess the TS030 is only good for TTs I think.
 
I will enjoy this seasonal, but one thing really irritates me about this event.

Why does PD make the 600 PP, Dodge Challenger R/T Race Car so slow? At 600 PP, It has a top speed of around 110 mph, and gets out-handled and easily passed by a 411 PP, 1948 Hornet with 208 horsepower!

I use the @TRL_Andromeda TS030 tune. Many thanks for a lovely handling car :cheers:.

I second this, such a fantastic tune, just impossibly forgiving. As is my custom these days with the races I like, I did 10 laps, shaving about 3 seconds per lap. I imagine this is close to my limit, I might be able to save another 6 seconds or so, but nothing crazy. I'm sure some of you guys could do a 6:30.

Have to agree the best TS030 tune I have used, crossed the finish line in 6'08 when the results board came up said 7'00, I don't understand this can anyone shed any light on this.

Bravo to all your comments and wins!!! 100% agree.
 
I've got to say; the AI is strange. During my first attempt(s), using the Corvette C6 Z06 RM, my best lap rendered a 6:41 for 3rd place. I then decided to change the opposition by exit/enter. Did a sloppy 6:46 and won by 10s.

The AI make mistakes as well mostly when they forget to break and T-Bone me off the track lol
